Why won't my wife have sex with me? Ladies help especially.?

I%26#039;ve been with my wife for 13 years. I helped raise her kids, and supported them until they were stable enough to get on thier own. I work 40+, plus help cook, clean, do laundry...she had a job about the first 4 yrs. then went prt. time. She hasn%26#039;t worked in the past 1 1/2, and gripes about money. Our sex life went from 3-5 x%26#039;s /wk. to 1-2, lasting 1hr. or more. Then she had female problems and had to have stuff removed. They gave her hormones. For the past 5 years I have heard every reason in the book for %26quot;NO%26quot;. I%26#039;ve respected that, but am real tired of it. I have needs too. I even made a special dinner, had wine and candles, flowers, in a chalet for our anniversary and she ate then went to sleep! Last week I found she had a profile on a personals site. What should I try or do. I am ready to walk but hate to throw away 13 years. I also probably wouldn%26#039;t know how to approach a woman in todays dating scene. I need love and guidance.

Why won%26#039;t my wife have sex with me? Ladies help especially.?
You really need to talk to her about it. BE honest and open, tell her exactly what you see is going on and then, If she wants to try to make it work, I would suggest a marriage counselor.
Reply:wild side,


well speaking as a women, ,,, You%26#039;ve just described me and several other of my women friends. Sometimes we just don%26#039;t want or need it. I know you guys do. But we don%26#039;t. We are awful strange individuals.....


Then one day my husband and I had a long talk, we even went to a counselor for a short time. Things got better. We haven%26#039;t had kids at home since 1994....and we are about to purchase our 3rd home this summer....and we both work.......and the last surgery I did have back in 1985,,,, was probably the best thing that ever happened for us.


And now , with no kids at home..... we just enjoy each other when ever and where ever we want too !!! Its fun, its spontaneous, its intermittent....


Be patient, have a sit down heart to heart talk with your wife, let her know your feelings, and lay it out there..... but let her know that its not all about sex. When you%26#039;ve been married 13 years thats a long time, and your right,,,, you probably are not willing to give up on it. I%26#039;m sure you%26#039;ve both shared very special things and events in your 13 years.


Then if that don%26#039;t work for ya, try seeking professional help. Check your local yellow pages for marriage counselors,,, and have a number ready and in your hand before you talk with her.


I feel for ya man, and I do understand.
Reply:Well my friend...your wife is not attracted to you anymore.


You are not a challenge for her anymore, you probably do everything she wants you to do, and at times you may act needy. You may act needy, predictable and you do the same thing as a daily routine....You are acting too much like the girly man.





You need to stir up her emotions and attraction for you.





If you want to stir up her attraction for you again you must do the following:


1. Start dating immediately..Jealousy is a powerful emotion which will draw her attention to you.


2. Start to have hobbies, go out, hang more with your friends. Do not make her the center of your life anymore... at the present time.Enjoy %26amp; live your life.


3. Start to act scarce in her life, stop being so predictable, boring and doing the same monotonous schedule %26amp; activities.


4. Start to be a man...not a wuss and her kiss a_ _ all the time.





If you continue to pursue her, all it will do is to push her further away from you.


I know the above sounds like you will be going in the complete opposite of what you want to do.... But trust me,if you listen and follow the above information...you will draw her level of attraction for you again.
Reply:Perhaps,She have lost confident to herself... After the stuff being removed,I heard it will never gonna be the same again...Even give her plenty of hormones...But,of course she must know her role as a wife to you too.And must think that you have your needs,and can%26#039;t just ignore you and put you aside... You could talk to her and tell her honestly about what you feel and not being happy about it anymore,as It%26#039;s been going on too long....but you must comfort her too,And give her back her confidence again....talk nicely,explain your needs,and ask her what are her reasons why she%26#039;s not wanting it...I%26#039;m sure she will gonna tell you....She may have her reasons,but hard to tell you...Must make her confess,than you can work things out together....just try to be more patient,and see how it goes... After you%26#039;ll have your talk with her...than you decide....it%26#039;s not fair to just walk away from her,without knowing the real truth....
Reply:Hit the gym and start paying more attention to yourself rather than her since it%26#039;s been backfiring on you. Once she sees that your behavior is changing - you%26#039;ll spark her attention. She%26#039;ll start to wonder...why all of a sudden such an interest in the gym? She is just very secure that you%26#039;re there and it%26#039;s easy. If she wants to be intimate (even if you%26#039;re dying to do it), ignore her and tell her that you%26#039;re too tired from your workout. Try it for a month. If she doesn%26#039;t pay attention to this change, then you may want to seek a therapist (even though sometimes their suggestions may not be helpful). The thing about therapists is that you both have to want to go. It can%26#039;t be a one sided thing %26#039;cause you%26#039;d be forcing the other to do something that they just lost all interest in.





Good luck...
Reply:well pardner count your lucky stars... i married a girl who i started to date in Jr. high .. i married her at 26 ... she did not have sex with me on our wedding night .. while all the groomsmen and maids of honor were hooking up that night.. i was forever having to start the action till we had the second child after that nothing... i got so mad that i refused to start the action... after a year of no sex i gave her a dozen roses and told her she was the most nonsexual person i had ever met .. since then nothing... we have been married 33 years... why didn%26#039;t i walk out???? i have seen what break ups do to children.. i could not have that with our children...just for the record ..i always worked ..i gave her my check .. i never hit her ..I%26#039;m not a drunk...am i bitter?? you bet..so ether do as i did and hang in there and stop bitching or get out and find some one who will love you for the person you are and meet your sexual needs... i tried the first path and i advise you to take your on path.... best of luck with a new woman because the wife you have now will not change.....
Reply:you sound like my husband. Since your wife and I are on the same boat I need to clear up a few things - you helped raised %26quot;her%26quot; kids - aren%26#039;t they yours as well? If she had %26quot;female problems and took some stuff out%26quot; how come you don%26#039;t know what it is in particular that she had? Basically I say I%26#039;m in the same boat as your wife because I do have hormonal problems and I lost my libido when they did a total hysterectomy on me. But my husband couldn%26#039;t care less about that and insists its my duty to satisfy him even if I%26#039;m not in the mood for it. Guess where he ended up. You need love and guidance - maybe your wife needs some assurances as well and not only because you need sex. There is such a thing as making love because you love her and not treat her like some sex object you can use when you have a need to satisfy your own needs. Maybe try to study her condition and understand it.
Reply:1.talk to her and find out why she is denying you


2.the website thing is kind of weird and if she is denying at 1st its was normal , she was most likey uncomfortable and had lil self esteem issues but now shes just being mean and the only reason i kno for denying sombody constantly for sex is that she may be seeing another man or women who knows


if all else fail try marrige couseling or swinging
Reply:You%26#039;re going to have to think about all the stuff she repeatedly complained about and address it. If she%26#039;s looking for someone else, it%26#039;s not hormones, she%26#039;s unsatisfied. Confront her about your relationship, not about sex.
Reply:Do you want to get married to me and help me raise my two kids?? ---just playing...but seriously.





sorry you feel this way. Could be a mid-life crisis.





I suggest counseling for the both of you...if you really want it to work.





Maybe she doesn%26#039;t know you feel this way...
Reply:I am sorry. dont get frustrated and take things easy you may be putting to much pressure on her that she can see and may feel your just a horny dog! im not sure though. dont even bring it up or talk about it for like a month and see the reaction!you should love AND BE LOVED!!! good luck. and if you aboslutley needed to you could find love again its not hard in todays world. by personal profile? check it out! its not like a dating site right? good luck again!!!
Reply:truth is she has already left the marriage by posting a pic on a singels site and has probably cheated on u i would move on down the rd
Reply:If it were just medical issues i know it would be hard to justify to yourself that leaving is ok. BUT...if she%26#039;s got an ad on a personals site, sorry man, it ain%26#039;t medical issues. I know all about the 1,000 excuses for not having sex, but when she gives an excuse and posts something on a personals site, you just have to face the fact that for whatever reason she%26#039;s no longer attracted to you. It%26#039;s time to move on and find your own happiness.
Reply:Talk to her about it and explain that u don%26#039;t want to force her but u would like things to go back to normal. My suggest some marriage counselling to her and see if she goes for it. Explain to her that Ur at Ur wits end and feeling like u want to leave and explain how Ur feeling and that u don%26#039;t want to throw away 13 yrs.
Reply:You are the ripe time for these problems to start. Having things removed might have a lot to do with this. Being married for 13 years, some how we get lost. The kids moving out another thing. Now her job for the last 18 years is gone, same thing happened to me. Find something you both enjoy to pull you close again. We bought 2 harleys, go on trips where you just have each other to depend on. A boat maybe,you have to learn each other again. Date her, dont give up yet. What was it about you that caught her the first time?
Reply:Stop being so nice and you will get everything you want. Right now you are just her slave and you get a reward once in a while. Didn%26#039;t you ever wonder why men that treat women like garbage get all the women they want and all the sex they want?

Known her for 3 yrs, Been best friends for 2 yrs, been together for 3 months. No ideas for a romantic date?

Ok so i need help





I%26#039;ve known my best friend for 3 yrs





We%26#039;ve been best of friends for about 2 of the yrs





On 10-24-07 (yea i gotta make sure i remember that date) she stayed the night, and basically had a few drinks and wondered why we were both single lol but seriously, never did i imagine calling her my baby and entrusting her with my love, but after i thought about it, there%26#039;s nobody more perfect than her.





So yeah, i try to do the sweet stuff, flowers at work on our monthly anniversary and her birthday, the whole %26quot;lemme open the door%26quot; type stuff, but i really, really want to do something different.





Our 3 month anniversary is on Jan 24th.. My birthday is Jan 20th.. She keeps talking about doing something special, and i should decide since it%26#039;s my birthday, but i have no idea





From guys and ladies, i%26#039;d appreciate any type of feedback from you, you may think it%26#039;s a silly idea, but to me it could be the perfect date. We live together, so an overnight idea would be preferred





Thanks!

Known her for 3 yrs, Been best friends for 2 yrs, been together for 3 months. No ideas for a romantic date?
a romantic date would be driving to the beach haveing a romantic candelight dinner on the beach with a blaket to keep both you and her warm also theres the idea of strawberries and whip cream. and get a beach house for the weekend. and since it might be cold in january theres always the bed and breakfast idea but im sure whatever you decide to do she will love

Is this normal for a boyfriend to do?

A couple months ago my boyfriend and I had our 2 year anniversary and he didnt get me anything for it. It was a day he had a lot of work and school and he said he didnt have time to get me anything. I made him a really nice sculpture and got him flowers, he didnt even seem that thankful for them. He also completely ignored Valentines Day as well. I made him some cookies and got him a card. He got me nothing, not even a card.





Its not like im asking for much, I dont want any expensive things. I just wanted those special days to be recognized with maybe just some flowers or a card, especially our anniversary.





He said he would make up for them and he never did.





I know he loves me very much and we love spending time together, but why doesnt he recognize these special days even just a little? Is this normal? Are some guys just like this?

Is this normal for a boyfriend to do?
Yeah, some guys are like this. They either:


-Never learned to recognize special occasions at home, so they don%26#039;t put any importance on it.


- They think it is too mushy and they are too manly, or busy, to be mushy.


- They find it wastes their money, so they find reasons not to recognize the occasion.


- They just don%26#039;t really care about special occasions, feeling that how they treat you everyday should be enough.





I think he does this out of ignorance more than lack of feeling. You should still recognize the holiday/occasion and keep encouraging him to reciprocate, he needs to learn how to recognize special occasions and use those times to show his girlfriend that he cares, that is what it is all about.
Reply:Some guys are just like that. You get what you put up with.
Reply:i know a bunch of guys like that.


try talking to him and explaining why those days mean so much to you and that you would really like him to acknowledge them.

Boyfriend troubles?

MY BOYFRIEND IS REALLY CHEAP LAST YEAR FOR OUR ANNIVERSARY HE BROUGHT ME SOME FLOWERS FROM MY FRONT YARD,. HES CONSTANTLY GIVING ME GIFTS FORM HIS MOTHER. SHOULD I TELL HIM THAT IM PREGNANT SO HE BUYS ME THINGS OR SHOULD I LEAVE HIM FOR HIS BEST FRIEND. HES HOT. IM EXCITED!!!

Boyfriend troubles?
I%26#039;d say both. First leave him for his best friend. But then continue to sleep with him on the side. THEN tell him you%26#039;re pregnant and that you%26#039;re sure it%26#039;s his. You will have him trapped and get whatever you want.
Reply:Don%26#039;t tell him you%26#039;re pregnant. That%26#039;s not a cool thing to lie about. Just dump his cheap ***!
Reply:okay, well if your in the relationship just for material things then leave him. getting things is nice but don%26#039;t expect anything. and dont pretend your pregnant, because when he finds out its not true your going to be the one looking crazy and stupid to everyone else. it will turn other guys off.
Reply:Girl, be GLAD he gives you ANYTHING at least he is thinking of you. It%26#039;s in these cases where %26quot;It%26#039;s the thought that counts%26quot;. There are many men who wont give you a hug or say %26quot;Happy Anniversary%26quot; or %26quot;Happy Birthday%26quot;. So be happy with what you get.

This is for the ladies//Anniv. Which is better? HELP!?

It%26#039;s our 16th wedding Anniversary. Which is better? Having flowers delivered by the florist? Or me delivering them personally to the office? I need to know tonight please...

This is for the ladies//Anniv. Which is better? HELP!?
ohh how sweet ur are! I would love it if u got them delivered to my office (so everyone could see how damn sweet u are) and then U unexpectedly show up with a bite to eat or something sweet..maybe chocolate cov.strawberries!! And a simple card! Make it extra sweet tho! And happy anniversary!!!!!!!!! HOPE I MAKE IT TO my 16th!! WHOO HOOO!!!
Reply:I%26#039;d say both. Have a nice bouquet delivered and then greet her with a single long stem rose or an single stem of her favorite flower when she gets off work and escort her to whatever else you have planned for the evening. Whether it be a dinner for two or a pampering bath (with all its amenities) when you get her home.


congratulations on 16 years! WHOOP
Reply:As a lady, it doesn%26#039;t really matter who delivers them, but deliver them to work, so all her co-workers can be jealous of what a romantic husband she has!
Reply:The florist because there%26#039;s a frenzy when flowers get delivered. Everyone rushes around to see who they are for, then the lucky lady just smiles and shows them off - everyone else thinks she%26#039;s the luckiest lady in the world because they didn%26#039;t get the flowers. I have received many bouquets, trust me on this. She will love it - especially if she has no clue. Happy Anniversary!!
Reply:Well if you deliver them during luch or when she has her break..then that would be great if you delivered them yourself so you get a few minutes...and it would be a bigger suprise...



White Teeth

Why did he leave me at now?

I am 28 weeks pregnant and a mother to a 3 year old. On my 4th wedding anniversary my husband bought me flowers and expressed how happy and how much he loved me. He took out to eat and after dinner he dumped me. He told me he was unhappy and he was unsure if he loved me. I am a full time employee working from 230pm to 1030pm, he expected me to be wonder woman. WHY DID HE LEAVE ME? Now am staying at my moms with our son and our unborn child.

Why did he leave me at now?
I don%26#039;t have psychic ability. You know more details than me.
Reply:Sounds like he was hoping to find something at the dinner that he didn%26#039;t really find. Have you asked him why? he might be able to answer it better then anyone here. You need to talk to him and reach out and then go from there.





I wish you the best and sorry to hear of how everything is going now.
Reply:because he is a selfish prick. you sound like a woman who knows what it takes to help support a family. all men should be so lucky. hang in there, the right person will come along.
Reply:That%26#039;s where you went wrong in thinking he expects you to be wonder woman. All men expect that in us because in a way we are like wonder woman. In my home i saw my mother do everything from washing the clothes and ironing and cleaning the house to making our supper and doing the dishes. She worked 40 hours a week and came home to a house full of young kids 7 to be exact and 5 of us were 10 months apart plus she took care of my fathers needs. I learned very young how to do 5 things at the same time. So you see we are like wonder woman because that is what men are use to seeing in women and to tell you the truth i wouldn%26#039;t know how to be anything less then a woman who does everything from working out side the home to taking care of my son to taking care of my home. I do everything my mother did and i have her to thank for showing me how to do that and to take care of my husband at the same time. I guess you could say my mother taught me what is called old school way. It sounds like your husbands mother was like me or my mother who does everything in the home. If he saw this he is wondering why you can%26#039;t be like his mother, any i right? It is very unfair for women to do everything while the man works comes home and just lays on the couch with remote in hand. And just because that was the way i was taught doesn%26#039;t mean it was right. My son is 26 now and I taught him how to respect women and not to expect his wife to do everything just because she is a woman. Unless we mothers start teaching our sons to respect women and to look at us as their equal and not as their own personal slave like i was taught it won%26#039;t stop.


I%26#039;m sorry to go off like i did and I%26#039;m sorry your husband did that to you, your husband sounds like an ahole. He will come around when he get tired of doing what ever it is he is doing they always do.Hang in there remember you are a woman and we women are very strong and tuff when we have to be.
Reply:sorry to hear that ....men are unpredictable creatures, your a strong woman with good values you will move forward with your children...your very blessed to have your mom





best of luck
Reply:Welcome to reality. The second you both said %26quot;I DO%26quot; your loving relationship was over. Marriage destroys relationships!!! Some people realize this in weeks some lie to themselves for years. Don%26#039;t be mad at him or yourself, he just realized it and doesn%26#039;t want to lie anymore. Whatever you do DON%26#039;T EVER GET MARRIED AGAIN if you are in love or you will destroy it!!!
Reply:Sounds like he is irresponsible...





who knows?


maybe he%26#039;s cheating


maybe he%26#039;s addicted to porn


maybe he feels stressed with the new baby coming

Well, do you think I have done enough?

This Friday my wife and I are celebrating our tenth wedding anniversary. I have arranged for flowers, chocolates, a Teddy Bear and a card to be presented to her at her workplace. Is this and going out for tea enough? I will probably get into a bit of strife for %26quot;wasting%26quot; money but what the heck. Ten years, not too bad for a %26quot;bald, fat and not so old%26quot; guy married to a Filipina. I thought I would add the last sentence before anyone else did and just to prove that it can work out.

Well, do you think I have done enough?
Wow! Big Chuck congrats.. I think you%26#039;ve done more than enough.. but I think you need to lose the Teddy Bear... just my thought.

Reply:just the thought youre giving time to make her happy is more than enough,no material thing can quantify with a loving husband.your wife is lucky to be blessed with a husband like you...keep the fire burning and stay true to your marital vows.congratulations!!
Reply:girls are such a sucker for flowers and chocolates (I know cuz I am one), but what about making something extra special and out of the ordinary?? do u know how to cook?? filipinas (or every woman for that matter) can really appreciate some things like that, try to prepare a special dinner (that´s if u know how to cook),cook her favorite food and then try to redecorate (temporarily) your crib for the special event, she would really melt with your efforts and probably give u rewards later!!^^








Goodluck and Congratz!!
Reply:You can go overboard and still it%26#039;s never enough for the love of your life. But you%26#039;re doing just fine, old man (and I do say that with much love and respect). Congratulations!





Might I suggest that when you kiss her that morning, do whisper this to her %26quot;stick with me, honey, the best is yet to come.%26quot;
Reply:YES...and then some...congratulations, chuckie!

Is This Short Story Sad...Do you get it?

Last night he was drunk,and hit me very hard,but I know he is sorry this time because I received flowers today,it is not our anniversary,or any other special day.


Today,he still hit me,but I know he is sorry because I received flowers today,it is not valentine%26#039;s day or any other special day.


*I%26#039;m so scared to get help,because I depend much on him with my kids,and without him they would have no food at the table....


Today,I received flowers at my funeral,last night he beat me till death even thought my kids were watching,if I woulda have gotten help I woulda never received flowers today...

Is This Short Story Sad...Do you get it?
i get it, do you. time to get out of this before the flowers that


he senting you will be at the funeral. please get out for you


and your children you deserve more then that, you dont have


to depend on him or any one else. start to depend on your


self and your children. they need you. get the help you need


time to talk to someone. now. good luck toyou.
Reply:OMG, that is heartwrenching...:(
Reply:yes it%26#039;s sad, and yes, I totally get it.....do you?





Abusive relationships never end with apologies or flowers, they end when one person is broken or even worse, killed...





Get out now if you are involved in one......there is ALWAYS someone or somewhere to turn, never think you%26#039;re alone and NEVER think there%26#039;s no way out.....
Reply:Yes, I get it. I was a DV victim too, and got out BECAUSE of my kids. They didn%26#039;t need to live like that.





Today I am remarried to a wonderful man. There ARE happy endings.
Reply:Yes, I get it. And it really makes me sick to my stomach. How is dying %26#039;helping her kids%26#039;? I will never.......ever.......understand how this sort of thing is allowed to happen. It IS for real. There are women being abused on a daily basis.
Reply:Yeah i get it and what are you asking here???? If you are being abused get out now and get out fast..... Leave and do not look back.... This is a story that can really happen but why are you typing it?
Reply:Yes that is sad, and I hope you or your friend gets out of that relationship because it is inevitable where it is going.

A cute flower idea for my girlfriend?

Its me and my girlfriend%26#039;s 6mnth anniversary, and I want to surprise her with flowers at school. I want to think of something original to say / how many flowers to get. Any past ideas that you got would be great, Thanks in advance.

A cute flower idea for my girlfriend?
The cutest thing I could think of is to have the flowers delivered to her school. They would call her up to the office to get them. Or better yet, find out what class she has at the time they would be delivered and have them sent to her class.


Roses are an traditional idea, but if you know her favorite kind, get those. You can never go wrond with lilies.
Reply:if you want to get her floweres get her six roses for going out with her for six months
Reply:I%26#039;m alergic to flowers, you terrible person! *cries*

P.S. not really, i just cant take you seriously with that hat on. :)


P.S.S. Lol i%26#039;m just kidding, theres no hat. :0
Reply:ask her friends what her fav flower is.
Reply:6 flowers. Visit her, and just tell her you love her, and say happy anniversary... Blah blah. There%26#039;s no need to recite poetry or make speeches. Just do it simply.
Reply:six flowers
Reply:put a rose in her locker, than have a note for her to meet you somewhere special.
Reply:Often times the color of a rose has a meaning. For example a single red rose simply means %26quot;I love you%26quot;.





For a 6 month anniversary, you could send her 6 roses... each a different color. Each color represents the stages in your relationship.





The first month could be a Yellow Rose or even a Yellow Rose with a Red tip. This signafies friendship and falling in love... every loving relationship must be built on a solid friendship.





The second month and second flower sent to her can be an orange rose symbolizing Enthusiasm and Desire.





Third rose/month can be that of a Dark Pink rose which means %26quot;Thank you%26quot; and gratitude. You are thankful to have her and now you will see to it she knows it.





Fourth rose/month can be given as Yellow Rose which is often given to friends but this is to remind her that you are a friend and very happy.





Fifth rose will be that of Peach which means closing of the deal, sincerity and more gratitude.





Finally the 6th rose symbolizing your 6th month can be that of a Dark Red rose meaning undying love for one another.





You can simply give the different colored roses or you can also spice it up by attaching a card describing each of the rose%26#039;s color%26#039;s meanings and significance in your own words. Remember, it does not matter what others tell you the colors mean... make them mean something to you and symbolize that with your relationship.





Hope this helps.
Reply:Try putting a rose on the windshield of her car.
Reply:If you can get in her locker put one there then in every one of her classes then half a dozen at the end of the day. The first six should be white then the other ones red. My b/f did this for me and i loved it.
Reply:Flowers are nice I guess, but its old fashion.


you should get her chocolates or something.


They taste good, and flowers usually die after being in a vase for a week and they start to look like weeds.





Just my opinion.
Reply:kneel down on your knees and get her one red rose and a kiss(on the cheek)


I find it so much more romantic than a whole bunch of flowers


plus youre saving a couple of bucks

I got flowers today. It wasn%26#039;t my birthday or any other special day. We had our first argument last night. He said a lot of really cruel things that really hurt me. I know he is sorry and didn%26#039;t mean the things he said because he sent me flowers today.

I got flowers today. Today was a very special day. It was the day of my funeral. Last night he finally killed me

Have you ever heard this poem?
I %26#039;ve never heard it before i don%26#039;t feel right saying it%26#039;s beautiful because it%26#039;s to damn sad. I have none three separate couples personally where their husbands killed their wives. One was a dear friend of mine i went to school with. All three husbands would come home drunk and hit their wives for know reason and all three were scared to death to leave. One wife actually did leave and one month later he broke into her home while all her kids were in bed the kids were his. He had a knife with him and she tried to run up the stairs to protect her kids and on the way up he was stabbing her when he stopped she managed to get to the bed where her kids was and she fell on the bed and died. The oldest son who was 14 at the time was trying to stop his father from hurting his mom but he was out of his mind and was to strong for the boy. When the dad realize what he did he killed himself he told everyone when she left him if he can%26#039;t have her no one will.
Reply:Yes, I have read that poem. It was written by Paulette Kelly in 1992
Reply:This is a poetic fable. However, more than anything, it is a cry for help. If you (or whoever wrote this poem) needs help, please make sure the person gets the help. If you are not sure how to find or get help, please e-mail me.
Reply:Omg...Wow what a poem, sorry no I%26#039;ve never heard of it but that is deffinately a wrenching lil number..Where did you hear of it/see it?
Reply:Didn%26#039;t expect to find this poem here today...you made me pause and take a deep breath. Yes, I had read it before and cried when I did.
Reply:Nope. Doesn%26#039;t look like a poem to me... but I am not an English Lit major either...
Reply:I have never read this before, I can say it is a cry for help. not so many years ago I was in this type of relationship. Had it not been for the grace of God, I would probably not be here today. If you know of anyone in this situation, you should help them find a women of domestic violence counselor in their city. they have shelters and other means of helping women in this situation, of course the woman has to want help! for this to work to her advantage. Men who abuse their mates always make the women feel like they are nothing, break them to a point where they lose all respect for themselves and feel like there is nothing else or no-one else out there for them. Women in these cases have to realize they are important ! not only to themselves, but their children also. There is always help out there. Be strong, testify against them no matter what their threats are. Take a stand for yourself and your children. domestic violence councelors and shelters are out there, seek and find them.Your local law enforcement can help you with this also.
Reply:Yes. It shocked me reading it because at first you didn%26#039;t think it would end that way. It%26#039;s very strong though and it makes you think.
Reply:Yes, I have. It is a famous poem that is almost a daily reading for those of us who have been in abusive relationships. After I finally got up the nerve to leave.. I would cry my eyes out wondering if I did the right thing.. not for myself, I knew I had to get out.. but I felt so bad for my daughter (who I took with me and now have sole custody of her).. Right after it happened, I wanted so badly to put my head in the sand, believe his %26quot;I%26#039;m sorry%26#039;s%26quot; and go home.. someone sent this to me, and since then, when visiting abuse sites I have found this on almost every one.. it gives strength to those of us who know the true meaning of the words. Thanks for posting it again, because someone who needs it may see it here.
Reply:Wow, no I have never heard it before, but it is really moving. Thanks for sharing. Whoever wrote this knew what they were talking about.





I was married for five years to a man who used to abuse me in similar ways. It was only by the grace of God and the help of people who shared things with me such as this, that set me free. You never really know when one tiny thing you may share with someone may change their life. Hopefully you sharing this may help someone else out there.





Here%26#039;s something else you may like to read, I found it somewhere in a doctor%26#039;s office, written by an unknown author:





The first woman was created from the rib of a man.


She was not made from his head to top him,


Nor from his feet to be trampled upon by him,


But out of his side to be equal of him,


Under his arm to be protected,


And near his heart to be loved.
Reply:Something to think about the things women go threw is harsh...and to be admired when they fight back
Reply:I%26#039;ve never laid my eyes on this poem in particular, but the ending to me isn%26#039;t in the least surprising. This world has distastefully grown into a cold, depressing domain and the unfortunate thing about this is the fact that we%26#039;ve trapped ourselves. My heart goes out to all the abused men and women out there because I myself have gone through many (and still do) ways of abuse. My best advice is to tell someone you trust and the rest will figure itself out.
Reply:No I hadn%26#039;t and it is a sad poem and unfortunately it writes of very real situations.

I got flowers today, it wasn%26#039;t my birthday or any other special day.


We had our first argument last night,


And he said a lot of cruel things that really hurt me.


I know he is sorry and didn%26#039;t mean the things he said


Because he sent me flowers today.


It wasn%26#039;t our anniversary or any other special day.


Last night, he threw me into a wall and started to choke me.


It seemed like a nightmare.


I couldn%26#039;t believe it was real.


I woke up this morning sore and bruised all over.


I know he must be sorry


Because he sent me flowers today.


I got flowers today, and it wasn%26#039;t Mother%26#039;s day or any other special


day.


Last night he beat me up again.


And it was much worse than all the other times.


If I leave him, what will I do?


How will I take care of my kids?


What about money?


I%26#039;m afraid of him and scared to leave.


But I know he must be sorry


Because he sent me flowers today.


I got flowers today. Today was a very special day.


It was the day of my funeral.


Last night, he finally killed me.


He beat me to death.


If only I had gathered enough courage and strength to leave him,


I would not have gotten flowers today.

Should i stay or should i go?

i%26#039;ve dated my husband since i was 12 and we got married at 20 and 21 .after all these yrs he says that i neglected him and he dosn%26#039;t know if he wants to be in the marriage anymore. after he says 6 yrs of turning him down. i%26#039;m on different meds including depo shot , i take asthma and bp meds. all these yrs he has never been romantic like, take me out, give me flowers and jewlery . for every anniversary,birthday and holiday or spec occassion he has a card or gift. from all these yrs ive kept his gifts and cards in a treasure .box i can count on both hands how many gifts ive got from him . ive done everything that i can think of to talk and he dosnt want to


he wants to just keep going and dont talk about it and when i talk about it he gets mad i know that there is no other woman but i feel like he%26#039;s tired of being with me he says we are growing apart he loves me but not like he did when we were dating. im stumped i almost feel like he%26#039;s playing head games

Should i stay or should i go?
You two have been together for most of your life...People do grow apart and reading what you wrote i do believe, this has happened. If you tried everything you can think of, your going to ware your self out mentally and physically by continuing...Its up to you, do what you feel in your heart is right...
Reply:well.... this is a hard one, but maybe be cousuling if u really want to be with him, fix ur marrige by going to a counselor. i know its wierd to talk about it with someone you dont know, but it will help in the end. Maybe he really loves you and wants to fix the problem also but dosnt know how. and love isnt about presents and jewerly, its about happiness and when u dont have that u dont have anything. hope it works out in the end.
Reply:You can find support and clarity through counseling. If your hubby doesn%26#039;t want to go with you, go alone, taking care of yourself is never wrong. It%26#039;ll enable you to think more clearly about your concerns. Who knows, maybe by seeing you do this for yourself, the man will take heart and start showing an interest in your future together.


No matter what, you need a friend in your corner that you can trust and turn to.
Reply:Well as far as i am concerned he has been negllecting u if he has never done anything romantic... but i know what u mean i was on the depo shot and i had no sex drive at all..... but i think he is playin mind games with u he either wants to be in the marraige or not ... maybe he is hopin by treating u this way u will kick him out then that way he doesn%26#039;t look like a prick for leavin ya.... but also he could be tellin the truth u really were eachothers first love and sometimes as we grow we do grow apart... but i think he should be talkin to u about it otherwise u will lose the lot and kick him out.... maybe if he doesn%26#039;t want to talk and only gets mad if u do then u should give him an ultimatum whatever 1 u give u should be prepared to go through with it...
Reply:try marriage counseling before you leave him, that way you know you will have tried everything within your power to fix the marriage and your husbands ways.... good luck
Reply:go.....fall in love at least ten times before you die.
Reply:wow....why would you even want to stay in what sounds like an emotionally and sexual vacumn????? Time to move on and get a real life...good luck
Reply:You got married too young.


It is a shame but you both grew apart.


It happens .You both got comfortable with each other where neither has to try to impress the other anymore.


I would split and find someone who rings your bell and that you do not have to complain about .


Good Luck.
Reply:That is the biggest mistake a young couple married at early age @ 20 and 21. My advise is since you do not have any children, you should find your real happiness and I%26#039;m sure you will find your Mr Right.





Yr current spouse is not right for you and if he does, he will treasures and respect you greatly and not acting like an old man to his old hag wife.
Reply:i%26#039;m on different meds including depo shot , i take asthma and bp meds. all these yrs he has never been romantic like, take me out, give me flowers and jewlery .





It sounds that you may have too many health issues going on and he is not attracted to you in the way he once was. According to your own comments he is not romantic and wanting you around and perhaps it is a complex of appearance...Harsh but possibly true.
Reply:This is a little tough to try and answer...





You two started dating at a extremely young age, cutting out all of the opportunities to experience new crushes and date other people. You pretty much grew up together and that is why it is so hard to even think about being apart, which is understandable, but at the same time I see and understand where your husband is coming from as well.





You only know him and he only knows you. Giving up your whole entire adolescence period to be with one person until %26#039;death do you part%26#039; is a little threatening if you ask me. Usually from 12 to 16 or 17 both girls and guys have gone on several dates and through several boyfriends and girlfriends. Probably even older than that. You%26#039;re supposed to learn from all of the little heartbreaks and stuff so that you are more prepared to deal with a long-term and committed relationship.





But that is where the problem lies. Neither of you have been able to do that and are now faced with a problem that seems almost inevitable.





I could see a better outcome if you had say...met in high school.





But what I do suggest over everything is that you two get couple%26#039;s counseling. He may not want to hear you, but hearing it from a professional or outside source seems to do good things.





I wish you the best through this tough time.
Reply:There are a few different things you can try. You could act like you don%26#039;t care anymore, which is something that has worked for me, especially when they were the ones first acting like they didn%26#039;t care..... That may or may not work in your situation though. Or you could start doing things you normally wouldn%26#039;t do.. such as, if you don%26#039;t dress up much, trying wearing something sexy around the house to maybe get him interested again. otherwise if these don%26#039;t work, then I would suggest going out and finding someone who appreciates you!!!

Help please i need ideas?

I tell her I love her all the time, I make little movies for her with slow love songs, I buy her flowers, for our 2 month anniversary I bought her 11 roses and one fake roses with a note tied to the fake one that said %26quot;when this last rose dies is when I stop loving you.%26quot; I do a lot to show her I care. I need some more ideas though. Or some more love songs to make more movies to


thank you!!!

Help please i need ideas?
I think that you are a very creative person.


Your ideas should come from your heart.


You are the person who knows and loves your girlfriend.


I think that you are the best person to come up with those ideas.


I am sure that she knows you love her very much by all the things that you are doing now.


I guess you want to think of creative ways to make her happy.





Why don%26#039;t you write her a poem???


Surprise her by making her dinner.


Take her dancing (ball room dancing) that is romantic.


Have a picnic in the park.


Walk hand in hand along the beach when the sun sets.


There are many other things too.


Girls are very happy to receive little things.


Especially if you made them yourself. Like a card with a poem on it.


Stuffed animals are always cute. A talking teddy bear that saids I love you.


Maybe you could record your voice and the teddy bear can say I love you.


I think that is cute.


I hope that helps you with new ideas





Good luck if you use some of them. I hope that she likes it





Warm Regards


Michele
Reply:Sounds like you already have great ideas. Maybe too many? Are you sure you%26#039;re not smothering her? Maybe make sure you are being interested in her by listening to her, asking her about her day, finding out more about her. A good woman will appreciate that more than any gift.

Boyfriend / relationship question :( Please help?

My boyfriend and I have been dating for about a month and half. Already, I have given him several hand jobs. (We%26#039;re both 17). We spend time together at least once every weekend. He gave me flowers for our one month anniversary. And yet, he rarely comes to see me to talk at school. We have two breaks at school, plus time after school. He comes for one of those breaks SOMETIMES and after school most of the time- not all the time, but some days for about 5 minutes (or less). When I see him in the hallway, he usually doesn%26#039;t say anything to me. Also, after our last date (Wednesday night) he said he%26#039;d call me to make plans to hang out before school started again, and he never called. I tried texting him to come over and watch sports with me a few nights later, but he already had some of his friends over watching sports at his house. Is he only in this relationship for the physical? Why doesn%26#039;t he talk to me at school? Why didn%26#039;t he call to hang out? Please help, I%26#039;m very confused.


Thanks!

Do you think this husband sounds romantic?

They have been happily married 17 yrs...He has always been a very affectionate man with lots of hugs,kisses and cuddling,is always telling his wife that to him she is the most beatiful woman in the world,never forgets their anniversary and gives her flowers and dinner out,for her birthdays and x-mas he has always bought her a lot of gifts and although she loves and appreciates every single gift he buys her she tells him all the time he doesnt have to buy her so muchon those occasions and a few gifts would be enough for her cause he doesnt make much money and just spending time with him is enough but he still buys her a lot cause he tells her she is worth it.

Of course! What more can you ask for!! There are very few men in the world that after 17 years still do all those things so shes lucky!!
Reply:Absolutely
Reply:Sounds as though the woman is to credit here. Sounds like she%26#039;s figured out how to make this man continue to love her this much after 17 years. She probably doesn%26#039;t yell at him for being a slob, peeing on the toilet seat,etc. I%26#039;d probably buy my wife more if she%26#039;d quit yelling at me all the time.
Reply:Is there a problem here????If so it%26#039;s one I wish I had! You are a very lucky person to have a man and a marriage like you do. Don%26#039;t take it for granted,and I hope you are as good to him as he is to you.
Reply:romantic yes but if he doesn%26#039;t make much he should be respecting his wife%26#039;s wishes and just send time with her. quality time is the best gift of all.
Reply:He sounds like a dream husband. Where can I find one like him?
Reply:Sure but buying gifts is easy how does he give them to her is the question!!
Reply:well yes he%26#039;s a romantic
Reply:Very romantic ! Sounds like she is his Princess and He doesn%26#039;t ever want her to forget that He is Her Prince Charming! Lucky Lady!!!
Reply:no hes a sap
Reply:its very rare to see such a husband she is very lucky

On a scale of 1-10, where is sex in marriage?

My husband and I have been married for 9 years. Three years ago he left and had an affair. We were separated for 15 months. We have been back together now for almost 2 years, but things are not right...he has no sex drive. We%26#039;ve been to counseling (were separated again for 4 months last fall) but things are no different. He%26#039;s sweet and kisses me when he comes home...he shows me he loves me in other way like a couple days ago he bought me some flowers...but on our anniversary (this past April) we went to dinner and said maybe 3 sentences the whole time. It was the same last year too...and no sex. The only time we%26#039;ve had sex is at my initiation. If I didn%26#039;t, we could go as many as 3 months without having sex. Right now, it%26#039;s been a month. The kicker is he%26#039;s only 29. I%26#039;m depressed. I am so happy that we cuddle and he says %26quot;I love you%26quot; a lot, but it never goes any farther. So, how important is it? Should I just be happy with that I have? I don%26#039;t know what to do.

just tell him you want more from him
Reply:****, FCK HIM ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:There could be 100 reasons why. Maybe he gained some weight or lost some hair. Maybe the guilt of the affair messed his mind up.
Reply:I bet the #1 answer will be that he%26#039;s cheating. People are so freakin%26#039; depressed %26amp; hateful on this forum LOL!
Reply:i feel you girl!! im 23 and my husband is 21. we have been married for 2 years and he never wants to have sex!! he is still young and should have the drive!! i know for a fact he doesnt not cheat on me, he doesnt have the time between work and us having 4 kids. it depresses me also. he tells me that he is just not a sexual person, but it messes with my head. when he doesnt want to have sex i think he thinks im disgusting, or that he doesnt love me anymore, but he swears he does. guys are just idiots sometimes
Reply:Perhaps a visit to your family physician can steer you and him into the right direction?





He may be suffering from hormonal issues - it is not normal for a 29 year old man to have ZERO sex drive.
Reply:He is either still cheating or he is depressed, in my opinion.





I%26#039;ve heard it said that if the sex in a marriage is good, it%26#039;s only 2% of the marriage, but when it%26#039;s bad, it%26#039;s 98%. Make him go to the doctor and get his hormone levels checked. If he%26#039;s normal, get him to go to therapy again (maybe sex therapy).
Reply:He should be willing to have sex anytime you ask. If he has no sex drive and can%26#039;t get it up he needs to use his tongue and fingers to get you off. When my wife isn%26#039;t in the mood she will still blow me or let me lube her @ss for anal.
Reply:sex is important in a relationship. do something to make him attracted to you, turn him on, open his eyes.
Reply:be prepared to be hurt again. if he has no sex drive with you, 9 out of 10 its cause its being satisfied somewhere else. sorry, but thats usually the case. there might be the small chance that it is something other and if it is you have a huge hurdle to get over. do you love him? if you really do, then tell him its important for you to make love. thats how you feel loved and desired. thats reasonable for any woman to expect. if he%26#039;s serious bout you he will be willing to listen. oh, and take ten buck and buy this book %26quot;the five love languages%26quot;. you and your hubby both read it and i think you will both be really surprised. sounds like you are not meeting each others needs is your big problem.

It is the GLUE that holds two people together I think. It is not the structure of a marriage, it is not the basis, but it IS waht makes the two people one. It is the intimacy they share.





Take your example. You are having dinner and he says 3 sentences. No sex, no talking, no marriage. He would say more at a business dinner with a woman he never met before and may never see again and only has a business acquaintance with. How is my wife different when I am with her in the grocery store than any other woman? How is she different in a restaraunt? Why do I run to open a door for her? Why do I leave her love notes and call her from work when I have even a moment to spare. Why is she my favorite person in the world? Why do I not even think of cheating? Sex, that%26#039;s why!





We have never been separated, even for a night. She goes with me on business trips or I won%26#039;t go. How could I sleep at night without her next to me? We talk all the time, hours every day about everything and anything. We never argue. Because of sex and the sex is great because we love each other and want to please each other.





Just my opinion, but it works for us. We rarely miss a day having sex and many times more than once in a day. Go figure, but we have LOTS of sex and we are adhered to each other, inseparable!

What should i do about my boyfriend?

I have been with this man for 3 years now, but was in an active addiction. I have recently become clean, and am now an active member of NA. He was never a user, but smokes weed and drinks ever now and then. And does it around me all the time. I can%26#039;t be around it and have tried to tell him many times, and he just doens%26#039;t give a ****. He is also a real asshole. He has never bought me flowers, he forgot our anniversary, 3 years in a row. He got me nothing for valentines day or my birthday. he doesn%26#039;t drive, and he lives in my house. I do love him, but i know i need to leave him. I just have a hard time being alone. Does anybody else have a hard time sleeping by them selves, and how did you over come it? Should i leave this man i have been with for years? How can i get through to him, and make him change?

What should i do about my boyfriend?
Get yourself a teddy, or maybe a cat if you%26#039;re that way inclined, but get this loser out of your life now! He%26#039;s trying to drag you down, and you%26#039;re better than that!
Reply:You could quit trying to control his life. You do your thing, let him do his.
Reply:when you knwo he is an asshole why are you with him... unless u like to be with one.. get out,,, He doesn%26#039;t care about you and your principle then i don%26#039;t think you should be in that relatinship at all... All the best with recovery
Reply:YOU CANNOT CHANGE PEOPLE!!! Any psychiatrist will tell you that. You already have said that you know that you need to leave him and I believe you should go with your gut on this one. You need to make a clean break but he lives in your place so you would have to kick him out and never see him again except that he knows where you live. It seems that your best bet would be to move somewhere that he can%26#039;t get to or at least does not know of. Trust me, you will sleep much easier alone without this guy.
Reply:Your boyfriend should respect the fact you have overcome an addition and be supportive enough to not lead you into temptation. Also, I know from being with a guy for seven years that one day you%26#039;ll wake up and say, I have wasted so much of my love on someone who never return it back. There are so many guys out there who will buy you flowers, not only for your birthday but just for being you! Trust me when I say it is time to move on. Three years is a long time but so is four and then five. You will not be able to make him change, spend sometime getting to know yourself and who you are without him.
Reply:You should definitely let im go. It sounds like he is a real jerk. I know it is kind of a cliche but consider buying a pet.
Reply:well u cant change anyone he can do that himself if he really loved u he would do that on his own and u wouldnt have to tell him so hes obviously not giving a ****.
Reply:You should talk to him and not let him yell at you, if he doesn%26#039;t care what you think that isn%26#039;t the guy you should be with. You should find a guy that has similar interest to yours and cares about you. You need a guy that is fun to be around. A boyfriend should be for you and care about your feelings. There are other guys out there for you, it will be a different kind of love but you will find another guy. Good luck!
Reply:thats the thing hun u need to get over those fears so u can let go of the asshole ...u already overcame addiction im sure it was hard so just like to pushed that to the side try to push him far far far away from u..he obviosly doesnt respect u enough to atleast not do it around u so...it shouldnt b so hard to leave him...u will be sad and alone but it will b the best thing u did 4 urself trust me i know from experiance...
Reply:Break up with that illegal drug using ***. Do it AFTER you move your things out with friends around, you never know with those type.
Reply:Other than the fact that he is a warm body...you love him why? Get rid of him and get a dog. You won%26#039;t regret it!!
Reply:He won%26#039;t change. Men never do, he may promise to change and show progress for a few days, but they always relapse back to their former ways. He sounds like a deadbeat with nothing to offer you. He is only bringing you down. For your own sake, you need to leave him. I know it is hard. The only thing that helps you get by is time. It gets easier day by day. You won%26#039;t be alone forever. You will find someone that will treat you right. Don%26#039;t waste anymore time on this loser.
Reply:here it is plan and simple your right hes a asshole and you deserve so much more when i hear thing like that it really makes me mad for the fact that i went through the same thing for four years the only reason i stayed with him so long was because i just didn%26#039;t want to be alone but sometimes it%26#039;s better that going through the pain and im also active in a relationship right now thats isn%26#039;t going well so my advise for you is to move on its going to hurt for a while but just keep your self busy go out with your friends spend time with your family and don%26#039;t jump into anything the right guy will come around so don%26#039;t worry there not all ASSHOLES good luck
Reply:Give him the boot. In order to start fresh, you need to get rid of the people that will hold you back. Good Luck and don%26#039;t fall back in.
Reply:this is a tough one ....
Reply:in think you have already answered your own question, pack his bags and kick him into touch, you sound like a lovely person and im sure you wont be on your own for long
Reply:God! for sure u need to kick d guy out... its really sad that we can%26#039;t overcome our fears and lets these ****** treat us like this... i have had and still have problems living alone but in this case u can prolly place an ad for a room mate or smthg...it won%26#039;t b as bad then and trust me the day u kick him out of ur life, u%26#039;ll feel soooo goood abt urself...it%26#039;s just about overcomin ur fear and doing it.... good luck
Reply:Leave him. What is friggin%26#039; stopping you ? Have you no shame, no sense of worth ??? Get a grip, you deserve so much better.
Reply:You *should* leave him, but you probably won%26#039;t. Unless you find someone else, and the new person will probably be an a*****e too. Some people are just unconsciously drawn to a******s. It%26#039;s just the way they are. Sorry, but that%26#039;s how I see it.





Hope things go well for you :-)
Reply:well you have a hard thing to do ... gethim out of your life fast// please as he will bring you down sorry. but run as fast as you can and get help to get the rat bag out of your house again sorry..
Reply:he%26#039;s not a user but smokes pot and drinks?





dump his sorry ***. you are obviosly ready to better yourself so why not get a better man?
Reply:Well in my opinion you should leave him. It sounds to me he doesn%26#039;t appreciate you for who you are. You should be with a man who supports you and loves you. If he really cared about you he wouldn%26#039;t forget you anniversary and he would buy you flowers just because its a Wednesday.
Reply:i would tell him if he loves me enough he would change....give him a chance to improve and if he doesnt try then say good bye





hope i helped
Reply:You can%26#039;t make him change, only he can do that and it sounds like he doesnt want to. You are going through a stage of growth and personal development, don%26#039;t let him stop that. If it%26#039;s just a fear of being alone then call in a friend or two, my friends pulled me out of depression when I left my childs father, they were always around, on the end of the phone or popping over for a chat all the time. My best friend stayed at my house, in my bed with me for nearly 2 months so I had someone to cuddle, she held me when I cried and never said a word, it%26#039;s you that matters, call on your true friends to remind you who you were b4 the addiction and help you become a strong person again. You said you need to leave him, so do it and call in the cavalry, friends and familly, that%26#039;s why we got %26#039;em. I hope you find the strength to stand tall and proud by yourself eventually.
Reply:people don%26#039;t change. he may grow out of a few things as he matures, but he is a loser. if you see so many things wrong with him why do you stay with him???
Reply:wow...its time for you to say goodbye to the guy. you have already told him that you cant be around the drugs and the alcohal and he doesnt listen. so to me that means that he doesnt care about what u feel or think. noone should be in a relationship like that. i was married for 12 years. and it took me a good min to get over the ex, but i managed. trust me, sleeping alone will be good for you. let him go sweety!!!
Reply:They only change if they want to. Find a guy with a dating service, secure him, THEN dump your asshole boyfriend. then you%26#039;ll never be alone, and you wont be with an ***.
Reply:Lose this loser as soon as possible.
Reply:hi there, i could forgive most things but forgetting your birthday and stuff...no flowers...it sounds like you r being taken for granted, has he ever worked or trying to get work?


you know you need to leave this man so you should make that change my friend..if its not working even after you have told him all this then its time to break away...its not hard being on your own, trust me, its great your own space doing whatever u like....i never have a hard time sleeping on my own! have a chat with him and if that doesnt work and he doesnt make changes then quit the relationship. you will have the valuable support of NA thru this time if thats what u choose...
Reply:OK~~


Lets see...


He isn%26#039;t supportive.


He%26#039;s an a@@hole.


He doesn%26#039;t drive.


He doesn%26#039;t acknowledge your birthday.


I%26#039;d rather sleep alone than to have that next to me!!!!!


You are on a new path in your sobriety.

Can any one explain this behavior?

My wife and I are in the final stages of a divorce in 30 days. I ran into to her friend today and found out my wife has been lying about our interactions. Like before we filed papers we took a vacation in October, she told her friends she went alone. Last month we had lunch after I sent her some flowers for our last anniversary. She told her friend she hadn%26#039;t seen me. I have offered to try at our marriage but she is obviously hiding her hurt feelings and wont let me know if she still cares or not. At least thats what I assume. Why all the lies to her friends about being with me?

Can any one explain this behavior?
she%26#039;s a player who got everybody fooled but you on what the truth is. Get rid of the LIAR..there are too many GOOD women out there
Reply:I think she wants to portray the illusion that she%26#039;s moved ahead with her life. That she is a strong and independent woman to her friends. If she tells that she went on vacation with you and saw you on your last anniversary that shatters the image she%26#039;s trying to have. I don%26#039;t think she%26#039;s a game player. I think she%26#039;s a very confused woman right now She%26#039;s trying to pretend to be something she%26#039;s not in the hopes of acheiving it. I am sorry she%26#039;s not willing to try to save your marriage. Good luck
Reply:not sure, but i would call her on it!
Reply:Separation can be an ugly thing...I am sure she has said enough that she can%26#039;t condone being seen with you in a civil circumstance...so she lies about it. I bet if she hadn%26#039;t said so many evil things about you she wouldn%26#039;t go through with the divorce.
Reply:Most likely her friend knows all the details about you and your wifes marriage. She probably does not want her friend to come down on her for seeing you, so it is easier to lie about it.
Reply:It sounds like it may be too late for trying to improve things, sorry to say. I think you should ask her why all the lies. Just to get peace in your mind. Good luck!
Reply:looks like she still wants you in the picturee, but doesn%26#039;t wanna expose you to the world. Also, i believe that she wants to keep her options open, and if she can%26#039;t find anyone else to replace you, then she will come running back to you. Trust me.
Reply:Okay. There is a reason you two are getting divorced. Before that decision was made, your wife talked to her friends about all the reasons you were horrible and why she wanted to get divorced. When you two have moments of closeness, your wife may feel these feeling for you and she is hiding them from her friends because they probably agreed with her %26quot;crap%26quot; talking about you with them and told her that she would be better off without you, etc., etc. Now she is in a rock and hard place because her friends agreed with her that she doesn%26#039;t like you and she can%26#039;t go back on what she said to them to tell them the truth about your intimate moments together. Call her on it. I did the same thing when my husband and I separated and my friends were very unsupportive when we got back together because of me spilling my guts to them about my problems. I know better now.
Reply:Your wife is trying to assume the reality of the end of your relationship. My question to you would be - why do you care? If you%26#039;re in the final stages of divorce it should not matter what she doesn%26#039;t tell her friends.
Reply:Sounds like she is trying to convince herself that it%26#039;s over, or she really doesn%26#039;t know herself what she wants. If there was so much passion, why are you getting a divorce?
Reply:I think its more out of confusion herself , most people that are headed down the road to divorce dont have lunches together, dont go on vacations together and dont celebrate their anniversary together, its not really the point of getting divorced dont u think, and id imagine that she probably has told people and got a weird response back from them.. like %26quot;ummm if ur doing all this with him, why are u getting a divorce%26quot; to the point that it may embarass her to tell people that u and her are still having a semi relationship, as alot of people feel if ur capable of having that much of a relationship then u shouldnt be getting a divorce in the first place, so she%26#039;s probably gotten alot of back lash for it.. so she has figured its better to just keep that private between u and her..
Reply:That%26#039;s strange. Most women talk to their friends unless, she%26#039;s partners with the friend now or she%26#039;s going with someone that the friend is close to, like a brother or cousin. Maybe she just don%26#039;t want anyone into you all business. I would think about what the friend said and remember the expressions on the friends face when you revealed that you had been with her and sent her flowers. What did the friend say? Go back and talk to the friend and then talk to your wife. Good luck. Oh it sound like she is confused right now. The divorce might be out of hurt and / or shame. It depend on what bought on the divorce. FYI... your divorce is null and void if you all have been together as a couple within the year of separation( check the law in your state ). Meaning if you had sex with your wife and you tell the judge, the divorce won%26#039;t go thru. If nobody lied and cheated and all it was is %26#039;%26#039; allot of passion%26#039;%26#039; then there%26#039;s no reason for the divorce, unless she just want out. Scorpio will forgive you, they tend to be really stubborn. My sister is one and you might want to go ahead with the divorce. SERIOUSLY!!! They will lie allot. So... if you want closure, you should ask her, but leave the friend out of it.

What flower is used for a 60th wedding aniversary?
There is no flower associated with the 60th anniversary. This site gives some ideas.
Reply:60th Anniversary Flower: There are no flowers traditionally associated with this anniversary. Put together a bouquet with one different white flower for each decade together. There is also a lovely lavender thornless rose bush called %26quot;Diamond Anniversary%26quot; and another one called %26quot;Diamond Wishes%26quot;.

Is this romantic or just dumb? All POVs welcome!?

My girlfriend and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary yesterday with flowers, dinner, sex, etc. But I want to do something else nice for her. I was thinking of making little notes telling her how much I love her and sticking them in her shoes, pockets, purse, glove compartment, pillow case, etc. That way she could know that I love her and have a little suprise any time, not just on big days like our anniversary.





Would you find that romantic or just dumb? Gay or straight or anti-gay, I just want opinions!

Is this romantic or just dumb? All POVs welcome!?
I think that this is a very thoughtful and romantic idea,


My partner and I would celebrate birthdays by bringing the other breakfast in bed, usually with a bouquet of flowers. Kiss and cuddle to follow. How I miss waking to hear her voice saying%26quot;Happy birthday love%26quot;.


Bless you. You are wonderful.


Rose P.
Reply:I would find it romantic and thought full. The fact that you would go through so much trouble just to let me know that you love me and cared. You never know when she%26#039;ll have a bad day and find one of your notes.





Put don%26#039;t put it in anything that will stain. If the ink comes of on a nice shirt or something, who knows...

Reply:well i reckon two things:





1. it%26#039;s a very cute idea, and you didnt have to wait for a special


occasion to do it.


2. what do you care what other people think? do things your


own way. its the only way.
Reply:super cute idea! may have to steal that one from ya when I have someone to love.
Reply:I dont see how/why she would complain its always good to know someone loves you. Do it, it will probally make her day/week, but dont do to many save the trees :)
Reply:I didn%26#039;t even know there was a category for gays and lesbians. I%26#039;m straight but I think it%26#039;s a great idea. I used to put notes in my boyfriends lunch bag all the time. I have also put smiley face notes and little treats in my daughters lunch box. She would come home and be so happy because it made her feel special. Once, my bf put notes in my uniform pockets and when I found them it made me feel so special. Do it, you don%26#039;t even need a special occasion. Good Luck
Reply:A FEW little notes here and there are a nice touch but she already knows you love her-you have been together for 2 yrs. and if she doesn%26#039;t know by now she never will.


I have always found that an unexpected hug, for no apparent reason, shows your heart more then any note.


Congrads!!!! Now work on a life time together.
Reply:i think that is very romantic as long as you do not go overboard always leaving notes!


then you will just be annoying and a little weird.


also, a nice short poem with those notes would be even more romantic.
Reply:First of all it%26#039;s very sweet to do that for your g/f. little things like always keeps the romance going. And congratulations on your 2 year anniversary. best of wishes to you both.
Reply:its romantic but if i started finding notes everywhere i would get annoyed after a while.
Reply:AAAWWW.... I%26#039;m a straight girl, btw...





I find that very sweet and romantic! The trick would be to do that all the time, not just special occasions, like you said.


But I agree it%26#039;s best not to do it too often. Then it would lose something. The surprise factor is a biggie.


My guy once was placed on third shift and we rarely got to see each other... I%26#039;d stop by every few days after I%26#039;d get off work, and tuck little love notes or leave his favorite snack or magazine in his car. He loved it. It%26#039;s the little things ya know...
Reply:NO!!! I think that is very sweet and romantic. My girlfriend post-it-noted my entire house with love notes and let me tell you what....I loved it! Here%26#039;s a good site to go to for great ideas, too! www.lovingyou.com They have got tons and tons of romantic ideas you can do. Some really inexpensive and creative ideas too!
Reply:Very sweet! I do it every couple of months for my girlfriend. We%26#039;ve been together for 8 years and we are constantly finding little ways of letting eachother know how much we love them. Do it.....she%26#039;ll just love it!
Reply:Very romantic! Just don%26#039;t do it too often or it becomes overkill. A good one that my husband and I do is write on the bathroom mirror with a dry erase marker.
Reply:It is adorable! Completly and utterly adorable. You are a doll!
Reply:This is very sweet! Yes! Do it! It will make her so happy!
Reply:aww, congrats that you had ur 2 year anniversary!!!





and i think that id be rele sweet if you hid notes and stuff in places. that be a sweet reminder to her that you rele love her.





congrats again! hope you two%26#039;ll be happy always!!
Reply:Don%26#039;t go overboard, and that%26#039;s a wonderful thing. I wish somebody would do that for me!!
Reply:ah, i think it would be sweet, just don%26#039;;t overdo it. i think another romantic way would be take a ride everywhere in the city enjoying the sights and relaxing under the trees, breathing fresh airs, and talking.
Reply:i think it%26#039;s great, my boyfriend leaves notes on the fridge that say I luv you, it is very nice
Reply:i think it sounds real sweet....go for it!:)

What do you think?

Sent the girl I%26#039;m dating flowers on the anniversary of her sisters death. I really like her and want to like me. Was this thoughtful or calculating?

What do you think?
I wouldn%26#039;t send her flowers maybe a card. Flowers say celebrate not anniversary of a loved one. Unless you are a loved one I wouldn%26#039;t send flowers. If you want her to like you than don%26#039;t be afraid, tell her. Trust me, us girls know when you like us, and it is better to hear it from your mouth than someone else. Then we might just think that you are a stalker and get a PFA or something.
Reply:That sucks! I wouldn%26#039;t want get flowers on the anniversary of my dead sister.
Reply:Flowers were a bit much i%26#039;d say. Just a phone call would do fine.
Reply:You really should have asked this question BEFORE you sent the flowers. You should have done something that shows your support, that you are there for her perhaps a phone call suggesting a visit to the cemetary together or maybe a walk. Don%26#039;t get me wrong, the gesture was thoughtful but keep in mind the next time you get her flowers (b-day, valentines etc.) the symbol behind the gift may now mean something different to her. The flowers would have been a better gift for the sister even though it is probably still appreciated.

Reply:Its normal when you are in love to make a mistake. Sorry i do not know what that means but my advice would be, %26quot;be steady fast when it comes to relationships%26quot;.
