My husband and I have been divorced for a while and our separation was a nightmare because we both wanted our teenage children. Now our kids have finished college and our son and his girlfriend are thinking about getting married. They have been working on a prenuptial agreement for a long time and have even consulted with three different attorneys without success. The lawyers and everyone else we have talked with said that contract law can never be stronger than state law or federal law. If this is true, then why do people even bother with prenups? What should I tell my son?

We were in a relationship for 10 months, and he broke-up with me out of the blue. He said he didnt want a girlfriend right now but when he did it would be me. I wasnt sad even tho he did it threw a text msg. we still talk and everything but it’s been like 2 months and he hasnt asked me back out yet. should i go ahead and move on? O yeah i’m in the 10th grade.

i’m not sure what to do i need help and advice!

me and my husband are young only 19 we got married when we were 18 and i got pregnant the month after with our daughter.we were both really happy even thought we weren’t really trying.but he liked to drink occasionally 2 or 3 times a month.then when his best friend turned 21 it got to be 4 or 5 time a week and he started smoking again.we talked and he said he just wanted to get it out of his system before the baby was born and then he’d only do it on rare occasions. well our baby is now 10 weeks old and he’s going out partying till 1 2 3 o’clock in the morning because when he says he’ll be home at 12 it’s like ok you really mean a few hours later.also when he is home all he talks about are his plans to go out or his computer game if he’s not playing it. im hurt and ive told him but he hasn’t changed he’s tried but not really hard.and i’ve lost all trust in him and that hurts him but i can’t help it.i know he’s not cheating on me but there’s still that fear, especially when at 2 in the morning he says it’s just all guys chilling and the next thing i hear is a girl in the background!although hes said its just a guys girlfriend sorry i didn’t even think about her.i’ve had enough i love him but none of this is fare to me or our baby!we agreed to try a trial separation two days ago and are trying to work out the details, but i just don’t know if i can do it.my parents are willing to take me in until i can get on my feet with the baby but they don’t think we should try a separation they say we should get a devoice because in the long run it’d be better.but i love him so much it hurts!i just don’t know what to do…please help
I’d just like to say i am a good mom i do everything i can for my child she has never gone without and she never will!

i come from a very grounded family and faith in God, i just happen to be struggling right now.struggling does not make me a bad parent, for you who have had negative things to say!and for the rest thank you!

I think Valentine’s Day is a commercial thing only and I don’t need a day to remind me to love my girlfriend. I tried to tell her but she doesnt understand.

I just recently broke up with my girlfriend of one year and I was wondering what the best thing to do now is. She is a bit clingy and wants to restart a new relationship but I do not have any interest in that. I feel that if I just ignore her she will get more intense. What do I do?
I did explain everything to her but she just will not leave me alone…

I have been dating my girlfriend for about one and a half months. We are both 17, and we are very happy together. However, I have somehow never actually had a girlfriend during Valentine’s Day. I was thinking about taking her ice skating, and then going out to dinner. Does this seem like a good idea? If so, I do not know where I should take her for dinner. Could somebody please offer some suggestions? I do not want anything to formal, casual would be better. Thank You.

I bought and made my boyfriend stuff all ready. I was just wandering what everyone bought their boyfriend or girlfriend for Valentine’s Day!

This isn’t particular usual of me, however I require some formidable form of counseling or advice. My girlfriend and I have broken up on mutual terms- or rather, her decision was made and I omitted the fatal decision. Apparently she "fell out of love", and was uncertain of her feelings in regards to me. We had been together for ten months, and had broken up six months prior, however returned the day subsequent. This was my first relationship, and thus I am not particularly surprised at the outcome. However, she contacted me the day subsequent our breakup, as she was immeasurably emotional and wanted to "inform me" of her feelings. I had perceived a partial chance- a third chance- however, was frightened of acting upon it in precaution of a third breakup. However, she later rectified that this was impossible, and unfortunately, it phased me. She’s present in two of my classes in Senior High School- and is within my Peer Tutoring and Peer Support group (I will not elaborate- it is simple enough to derive from the name). What advice can be provided? How to I endure her presence in my classes, and her relationships with my friends? How do I move on? I’m finding it increasingly difficult, and have no avenues to turn to… How do I "get over" this girl who I loved immeasurably, and experienced infinite "firsts" with her. She has experienced relationships prior to this, if that helps in relation to advice…
I know this is typical, and mundane, however no other avenues of advice present themselves… I want diverse advice, not solitude, etc., and hence I inquired here.
My logic transcended into transparency when I become infatuated with her… Thank you for your responses. I’m not of adequate level to rate, etc, however if possible you would receive an astronomical volume of praise

I notice that some people try really hard to get a girlfriend, mainly because they strongly desire that form of intimacy. At what point does this desire for intimacy become creepy? What would you recommend said person(s) do to deal with it?

Thanks for answering.

Does it work? Im talking about couples counseling & individualized counseling. I’ve never been big on the whole Shrink idea because to me they’re people who get paid hundreds per hr to listen to me talk & then make their own opinions on my life. I can call my mother up for free for that!!! But my girlfriend thinks it may be a good idea for sum issues we r having & im willing to do anything for our relationship. Any thoughts & maybe referrals for any Counselors/Therapists in the Oakland/San Francisco area???
