Avatar f tn Marriage is suppose to be "Until Death Us Part" not until he makes you sad, mad, or makes you cry. Pregnant or not. So, no I believe you should "let him go". You should tell him know how you feel. I know you're just looking for advice, but remember that's a choice YOU would have to live with. Praying for you and your marriage & Congrats on your baby!
Avatar f tn Sam, you make some great points. Yes, it's true that women file for divorce more than men. I think it's b/c men and women have different expectations of marriage. Also, men will take longer to file for divorce so women have to do it. It's not that the men don't want the divorce, some men just don't want to be bothered with the process of a divorce. Maybe men see it as a big failure while women just want to move on with their life?
Avatar m tn I would rather imagine this as a rough spot with a lot of pain, then a divorce and my 7 year old suffering through that journey. I am currently attending Alanon and seeing a therapist.
Avatar m tn Only she knows the reason she been with you for 12 years and had the children but it would appear it was not anything to do for being in love with you but for her own gain. What shes doing to you is the worst hurt a person can inflict on another human being so ask your self the question, do you really want to be with a person with such cruel intentions? Let her go live her life and hurt someone else as your not her whipping boy. Work with your lawyer and get your rightful half.
535822 tn?1443976780 A Titanic Lesson in Manliness The Escondido Theology It’s no secret that men are struggling. Years of ridicule and political correctness have left men passive, lazy, cowardly, selfish, and confused about their identities. If there ever was a time when manhood was under attack, this is it. History shows that civilizations fall when manhood breaks down. What do we see? Western civilization is in shambles.
Avatar f tn There are a LOT of men who will try to be with you to get with your 15 year old girl. Also, a lot of men who will immediately tell you you are being way too lenient on your kids and demand you be cold and cruel to them. Your boy is mostly in the clear because he's of an age where he can leave, your daughter isn't. I'd wait, honestly, until she's up and out in college or whatever she plans to do when she graduates high school.
Avatar f tn He told me its hard, he cat just have a divorce that easy. If he was olf and had children and was married for a long time i would just leave him. But hes young and has no children.

578035 tn?1218867130 The father of my children has now filed for custody of BOTH children. I was suicidal over the loss of my best friend and turning custody of my teenage son over to his father. I reconciled myself to giving the father custody of our son, since our son has become abusive physically and verbally towards me and his sister over the last 6 months. Today, their father has changed his mind. According to him, I am so vile and evil and unfit, that I should have no contact with either child.
541953 tn?1262586226 On his weekend visits with the kids, Kate will be staying in the apartment while Jon stays at the house with the kids and Nannys/ not only was their lifes published for 5 years now their divorce will be. These people were no bodies until they had 7 children at once. Do you think some of these reality shows go to far?
Avatar m tn I've been through a divorce with young kids. I was 4 years clean at the time. I thanked God my thinking wasn't scattered and cloudy with drugs and alcohol at that time in my life. The one thing that should always be the most important thing for you to remember: put your own recovery first. Don't use no matter what. Everything will fall as it will, but if you don't use and learn to accept life on life's terms you'll get through this in the best shape possible.
Avatar f tn He is cute, and I like him, but he has no place to live and no job. I let him move in with me. For a while, it made me happy. He made me happy. I felt like I forgot about my divorce and my affair and the man I had the affair with. Then, all of the sudden, like a switch was flipped, I started getting more and more depressed. I missed two Fridays of work in a row. I cry all of the time.
Avatar f tn but then i think what if what if im doing the wrong thing little advice.. please. i feel so alone in this amd all he does is say i stay for money and its not even that..
1103110 tn?1341254499 I have put in my application for divorce and for a goverment apartment, but with goverment helped there is 3 stimpulations (for the divorce). 1. all properties are to be sold and divided evenly (we dont have any property), 2. was something else, and 3. was agreed custody over our duaghter. I sat down and tried talking to him calmly, but I don't see him agreeing on it. I take care of my daughter pretty much on my own (school issues, doctors,.
Avatar f tn I did not ask for advice on my sons mental health - that are what trained medical professionals, that were already consulted (as stated), are for. I did not ask for advice on my divorce or introducing a new partner - which apparently I caused & did too soon (did Mark even read what I wrote??) No. I asked for advice on BEHAVIOUR, and if anyone could advise on anything that has worked for them.
4437866 tn?1388119624 Here in Australia custody rights happen with the divorce usually (its in our divorce papers) but it can happen at any time if the need arises, just means more money and lawyer/court costs. And like mizzztaylor said, unless they are adopted they still have to pay child support, don't let him get out of that one, thats what alot of these men try to do, think if they have nothing to do with them they won't have to pay for them.
Avatar n tn He came into the house with 3 strange men. Served me and him and the men immediately started packing his belongings and packed the furniture he wanted into a truck. Dad has a 16 year old daughter, which was my stepdaughter, he immediately started packing her belongings and told her to get into the truck. My 3 year was in the house while this was happening and she was frantic, crying asking why the men are taking our things "why is daddy taking my sister away?
Avatar f tn I've been married to my husband for 11 years now. This is my first marriage, and his third. He has been controlling and emotionally/verbally abusive for most of our marriage. Six months ago, I told him that I wanted a divorce, and he told me that he would do anything to keep our marriage intact, so we went to counseling. The verbal abuse stopped, but the control didn't. I have 2 daughters, one is a teenager and one is in her early 20s, and they both live with us.
Avatar f tn like your situation they were men going through divorces with their first wives. Some of their wives filed for divorce from them and some of them filed for divorce from their wives......kinda a mix. They met someone else during their separation period while going through their divorces and now they all are married to the women they met during that time. Another common thread was these were OLDER men who had been in a lifeless/dead marriage for a decade or longer.
10707428 tn?1415569790 I'd personally seek legal advice as it is his child and some states/countries have very specific policies on parents taking children away. As horrible as it is that he doesn't want to be with you that doesn't automatically make him a bad father and it doesn't give you the right still to take away his rights. Alternatively you could get his consent to move and that way u won't have legal hassles depending how amicable things are.
Avatar f tn Thanks everyone for the advice. We live in Wisconsin. We've been married 23 years with lots of up and downs. He is also a control freak and will try to intimidate me. Tonight he told me that I stepped out of bounds he would drop me from his open enrollment for group Insurance.
Avatar f tn I agree with mkd62 the children seem like very affectionate children and indeed it takes a long time for children to heal from divorce and loss of usally the dad on a regular basis.,it is possible that some counselling to help you may be a good thingand will help you accept them .if not let the BF move on with his life to find someone who will accept his kids for who they are .......
3605625 tn?1385017548 mean look at mothers where their children are in jail for murder they still probably think their kids are good people lol sometimes its hard for people to own up to their faults and accept it especially when it comes to their kids and as far as your x u should totally try and get ahold of receipt for his bike and where ever he takes his gf and use that in court..
Avatar f tn t start until we were separated and I had hired divorce attorneys. Any advice. Also, I really care for this other man and the timing seriously *****. I would like to give the relationship a chance but it seems far fetched in this situation- I don't want to loose him though.
