My husband won’t leave our 1 ½ year daughter so we can go away, even if my mom babysits. I say we need our time together, but he says she’s more important. I adore our daughter, her needs are priority, but this is extreme. My husband’s mother repeatedly told him to hide his finances when […]
Last weekend a family came over for dinner. They brought their kid to play with our son. We had dinner and socialized while the boys entertained themselves. After they left, my son realized that the boy had stolen his birthday money. My son is certain that the money was there because he counted it just […]
My boyfriend and I were together for 5 years. He said he never wanted to get married, but I always thought he would change his mind. We broke up 6 months ago because I told him I couldn’t say in the relationship if it wasn’t going anywhere. I just found out that he met another […]
My best-friend borrows my things and loses or ruins them. Even worse, she flirts with my boyfriend anytime he’s around. Sometimes I see her looking at me to see if I’m watching. It really bothers me, but I don’t show it because she would get mad and tell me I’m crazy. Why does she do […]
I have two young children ages 6 and 8. Their mother has a drug problem and because of it the kids live with me. As you can imagine, their mother sometimes doesn’t show up or call them when they are waiting for her. I want to protect the kids as much as I can because […]
My wife and I recently divorced. She’s angry and criticizes me to our kids and anyone that will listen. She won’t speak to me directly, only by messages through the children. When it’s my day to have them, she’s late, makes appointments, or gets the kids to make other plans, and ask me if it’s […]
I have been married for ten years and have two beautiful children. My husband is a good father but we have no relationship and at this point, we hardly speak to each other. I’ve tried getting him to go to counseling but he refuses. I’m afraid of how our relationship is affecting the kids. Should […]
I’m realizing that neither my family nor friends treat me nicely. I always put them first and offer to help when I think they might need me, but no one does the same for me. When I do things for people our relationship gets closer and I feel happy. I drive my friends, lend my […]
My father died when my sister, brother and I were young. My mother was and continues to be very demanding of our loyalty. Although we’re adults, she still gives her opinion when we don’t ask and expects us to agree with her about everything. Last week she tried to tell my brother’s wife how to […]
I’ve been in what I thought was a good marriage for the past 15 years. Lately my husband is always on the computer with the door locked. I snooped and discovered he has an active profile on eHarmony! I couldn’t believe it. When I confronted him he said it was because he was curious—he never […]
