Marriage Questions
from anonymous6 answersI'm engaged to be married, and have two kids w/my fiance. We live together...show more
and we're pretty much married in all but the legal sense, you know what I mean? Anyway last night I went out to a bar with two of my girlfriends - I don't go out much at all anymore, but last night I did, and had a couple of beers, and I got chatting with this guy. OK, to be honest it was out and out flirting. He was really funny and we just clicked - had a ball flirting with him and it was just a really fun night. It made me feel sexy and appealing for the first time in a long time (since I usually schlump around the house in pajamas, you know?). So my question is, do I tell my fiance about flirting with this other guy? I don't feel guilty, and it never would've gone any further. It's not that I feel an obligation to tell him, but more like I want to share it w/him because it made me feel really good, and we talk like that. Would you feel weird or threatened if your partner/wife told you she'd been flirting with a guy in a bar and really made a connection w/him? And would you believe her if she said that nothing happened?..

one account, separate accounts, or a joint account and separate accts for each of you? How do you divide up the costs of living - bills, groceries, mortgage or rent? Any tips for combining finances for a couple who's about to move in together?..

from anonymous4 answersMy wife is - well, to be honest, she's kind of a drama queen. She always...show more
makes me think of that Garbage song, "Only Happy When it Rains". If there isn't some kind of emergency, or traumatic experiences going on in her life or my life or one of our friend's lives, she can't deal. She seems to really need that adrenaline rush, or something. I am not like that, and frankly it's wearing me out. Is there any way I can get her to stop getting so caught up in all the drama?..

So, my dad is requesting that my wedding be officiated by a priest....show more
We were planning to use our friend, who has performed many weddings. My parents are paying for the wedding, we're planning a pretty nontraditional celebration, and this is the only thing they have requested so far. It seems pretty clear that we should allow them this concession, but at the same time...My fiance and I are not religious! I have a lot of issues with the Catholic church that I was raised in (fiance's mom is very Catholic too, so this would also be to please her). Should we just suck it up and get the priest? Is there some kind of "priest lite" we could look into? Or should we just put our foot down on the vows, like tell him don't add any funny business into this...
from anonymous5 answersCan you guys give me some advice about anger? I am married, and in a situation...show more
w/my husband (going to try to make this brief, so I won't go into all the details) wherein we are totally opposed on this one issue, and he won't budge. I have tried everything to change his mind, OR compromise, and there just is no way. But I am really angry about it. I don't know how to NOT be angry about this situation, and I feel hopeless and frustrated b/c I've tried my best to resolve it and cannot. So how do I get over my anger? How can I change my feelings, since I can't change the circumstances? Any advice?..
from anonymous1 answerMy friend has been married to this man for about three years. However, she keeps...show more
talking about her ex-boyfriend in front of her husband. She constantly sings the ex's praises -- how smart he is, how funny he is, how well-connected he is, etc. (This is what I hear; who knows how much more of it the husband takes under other circumstances?) Shall I tell my friend that she should stop doing this, that it's unfair to her husband?..Vote:

is a wonderful man, except he's stubborn as the day is long ,and right now he is working a job that's not worth the time he's putting into it. he has no insurance, and so neither do I or our kids. He thinks this job will eventually lead to f/t (it's part time now) and benefits, so he's plugging away at it, working 60 hrs a week, etc. but it's not paying off in any way. He has no guarantee that it will ever pay off, just the hope. Meanwhile, i think he should be out there getting a "real" job even if it's just working at Target or Home Depot or some corp, just to get a good stable salary AND benefits for his family. Time to man up and do the respnsible thing, right? But he is sticking stubbornly to this job which is putting a huge stress on him, and on me and the kids by extention. Am I wrong? Should I just grit my teeth and bear with him? or do you think I should press the point and insist that he get something that will provide for his kids, no matter how he feels about it??..Vote:
