So I used to be the one to always return texts and would become super jaded when I felt like someone wasn't putting in the same effort as me. So I took a few months to recharge my dating batteries. And I started trying to date again 2 months ago when I officially turned 30 (woot woot) But ever since I've started dating again I just don't approach it the same. I don't text people back like I used to even those that seem to put in effort. So what i'm asking is if anyone else has experienced anything like this? I want to text these women and enjoy conversations with them but maybe i'm still a little jaded and don't see the point of putting in all this effort. Anyone have any idea's?

A little while back I (37m) told my wife (34f) I wanted to sleep with other women. For a very short time I considered having an affair but quickly realized that was the wrong way to go. So I just brought it up to her one day instead. Initially she recoiled a bit but soon warmed to the idea. We decided to each make a tinder account with a full disclosure rule. As I expected, she found a date first and met him for coffee one morning (as far as I know there was no touching or anything). I was surprised at how badly I felt by the whole thing - heartbreak, dispair, anger...all the things one would expect to feel towards a spouse messing with someone else. So I brought that up to her as well. I explained every which way that it took me by surprise and that I was unexpectedly and decidedly not ok with it. Ill drop the whole thing on my end, I said, and told her I wanted her to do the same....which is where things went astray... "Just change the way you think about it" was the bas...

We've been married for over a decade and have two younger kids. He does pretty much nothing to show any interest in me. He rarely says anything nice to me, he never buys me gifts not even for my birthday or Christmas, I always buy him one, actually he's pretty spotty at celebrating my birthday at all, he rarely touches me (even nonsexually) and we don't really have a sex life anymore. He's also talked about bailing twice during our marriages, both times when I/we were going through tough times (one of them was a difficult pregnancy). We don't fight much (or badly when we do), but I feel like he just has no interest in me no matter what I try. He says I'm not "fun" but quite frankly, I work a full time job, do the bulk of the childcare, and most of the daily housework. And when I try to find fun things to do as a date, he usually shows little interest or even complains. He does not suggest fun dates or activities even if I ask or hell even press for t...

My husband and I got married young. We’ve been working on making it work for years. He has a demanding job that requires him to be away from the home half of the week. When he comes back, he is too tired to do much. I can see that he is struggling. I’ve tried to hold it together for the kids(we have two), but I just don’t think I can do it anymore. Husband barely has the mental capacity to play with the kids, let alone work on our relationship. It’s not his fault. He started a business and it’s been going great. But he has little energy to do much else. It’s been eight years of playing the supporting role and staying for the good of the family. But now, I’m starting to feel hopeless and suicidal. I tried to end our marriage to focus on coparenting, but he says that everything else is pointless if we can’t be a single family unit. He says that his happiness is dependent on my happiness level of being a family together. I am so unhappy in our relationship. But I’m more worried about...

Good morning everyone, ​ So my wife's mother and sister suppose to be going to Ohio for a tournament for her sister. Her mom asked us did we want to go but I didnt respond because I really wasnt interested. So later that day my wife called me while I was at work and was hinting that she wanted to go. Of course I wouldnt have a problem but I just told her that we would talk. Then I said "Well since you are going on the weekend, I can take off of work that Friday to be there with our son (Just turned 1) during the weekend." Her response was ," Just you and him?" ​ When she asked that it really hurt my feelings as a father because it made me feel like she isn't confident that I wont look after our son. Im not sure if shes saying that because her mom ( who is extremely obsessed with our son) is pressuring her to bring him on the trip or what but all I know is that it really hurt me pretty bad. I asked her why she said it and she said " Oh Idk" and...

In the past, men would marry because the societal pressure was very strong, but also because it was pretty much the only way to get laid. The latter reason is not valid anymore. If anything, it's the other way round, i.e. bachelors get laid way more often than married men. In the current days and ages, both men and women have a much lesser need to get married, but men in particular. This is because - women can now provide for themselves, but we are still light years away from women being willing to do so. Many women are ambitious, and keen to be independent. However a lot of them are still totally fine, and in fact eager, to be provided for by a man. Men do nearly never have such an option. - the reason many women still want a provider is that they have a much stronger biological urge to have children, which, by nature, requires them to have a partner they know they can rely on. Many men also want children, but, on average, much less than women do. - in spite of the shift in...

I’m eight and a half months pregnant and work full time at an extremely stressful job. My husband also works full time and makes six figures and over double what I make. With my job I have very limited time off and no paid holidays. The daycare we were looking at was around 800.00 a month. We have minimal bills and vehicles are paid off. My husband however has a disabled father and pays all his bills except the mortgage because his house is paid off and car paid off. His dad gets around 700.00 a month and is not expected to co tribute to his bills per my husband. Recently I’ve told my husband I am planning on quitting my job because it’s too stressful and I would like to spend time raising my own child instead of paying someone else to raise them. We also don’t have any family help for our child which makes things more difficult. I’ve helped him to apply for more assistance for his father to help cut those bills. So here’s my issue..... my husband keeps flip flopping between telling m...

I know this to be true. It was my words that wounded my husband and led to the start of our deadbedroom. I am not going to hash that out, so please don't ask. I have worked hard in the last three years to make up for my mistakes. I have done a lot of self-improvement. Lately, I have noticed a running theme to our arguments. He always phrases things as "I have told you this 100 times" "If you listened the first time" "how many times are you going to bring this up" Sure, I need assurance in the past 3 years of our DB. He doesn't see how any of this is abusive and condescending. I restart therapy next week for myself. Our latest argument ended with me saying we either need to do counseling or decide how to tell the kids we are ending things. When the DB first started he refused couples counseling because I was the one to make the mistake to our relationship and I should be the one to fix it. And, I did. 18 months of consistently going and working on...

​ When my husband and I first started dating, he watched porn regularly. As a sex ed teacher and sex researcher, I knew that porn could have some bad effects on your sex life but I enjoyed it myself from time-to-time and saw some benefits. I was a strong feminist interested in a liberated, fulfilling sex life so why rule out a whole activity on a little bit of research that probably didn’t apply to us. He wasn’t watching it at work, jeopardizing his job, or obsessively masturbating so it couldn’t be all that bad? Like most young love, our sex life started out hot and heavy. We had sex multiple times each day, in all the strange places and positions that make you regret skipping so many yoga classes. I specifically remember having sex one day while he was on a conference call – lots of use of the mute button. After the initial haze wore off, I started to realize that our sex wasn’t that good. First off, he could only climax in one position, which was a great position sometimes but g...

My wife (23F) and I (23M) have been married for 2 years. We feel in love and married young but it hasn’t been what I thought marriage would be. We’ve had a lot of financial struggles because I was laid off from my job so we moved across country because I found another job. Throughout the beginning of our marriage both of us have been miserable at different times. Most of our marriage has been up and down. When things were good they were really good. But when things were bad they were some of the worst times of both of our lives. For the last 6 months of so I’ve been struggling with some deep depression ( which my wife is aware of). I believe this is a big part of why I’m struggling so much with marriage. However, for the last few months it seems like all me and my wife do is fight. Our sex life has basically died and is nonexistent. And on top of that my wife told me the other day that she has been holding anger and resentment towards me for things that happened in the past. She h...

Two weeks ago, my life changed forever. My husband the person I love the person I gave my heart to told me he doesn't love me. This broke my heart and changed my world turning it upside down. The last two weeks have been a blur of love and heart which has ended in up tonight.  ​I asked to see him today. Mainly for myself I just needed to be close to him to have him hear. We ended up talking he loves two women what is he meant to do. He doesn't know. We spent the evening going backwards and forwards some nice moments where we seem to forget what position we're in to angry shouting and frustration.  I asked him what he would do if I put a end to it all now, stopping all this heartbreak etc. He said I'm not giving him enough time that I have just been interrogating him. I told him I'm his wife and do not deserve to be a second option but the only option.  ​ When we got back to to the house I told him if its space you need then you got. He left I've deactivated...

This is a rough time for me. Today my coffee in my sealed, closed hydroflask fell on the floor. I had almost no coffee because for whatever reason the one at work tastes like dirt. And I had to clean a ton of coffee of the damn floor... I’ve had a constant headache that won’t go away no matter what. I’m super tired and am sleeping very poorly. My grandma might have cancer and I might have to use all of my PTO/ the money I was going to use to pay off the last of my student loans to fly home, board my dogs, and care for her if she needs surgery (he’d come too). She might have the same kind of cancer my grandpa passed away from so I’ve just been panicking since I found out. My dog is limping badly... to be fair this one I’m unsure about because he can run and gets excited about snacks/ dinner he suddenly is 100% okay. But then nothing interesting is happening and he’s back to limping badly. I’m hesitating on taking him to the vet because the last 2 times there was an issue they basically...

Seriously. Worked a full day. Ran to the store to get ingredients for supper. Unloaded & started to prep for dinner before I had to get back to work. Husband being so sweet said to leave it, he’d make supper after he picked up one of the kids from an activity. Instead I did the dishes. He said “don’t worry about that I can do that”, “I can help just tell me what you need”. I told him I had a little bit of time before I had to leave again I could get some done. Did most dishes except for some odds & ends, and two pans thick with grease told him those would need to soak. Fast forward - I leave again for work after texting him the recipe for supper. Come back after 1+ hrs later. Dishes still “soaking”. Supper done (I do count my blessings although he only had to feed himself and one child), all dishes still sitting there. I start scrubbing the “soaking” dishes. He gets off the couch and rinses his bowl saying how good supper was. Goes back to the couch. Then asks if I want him t...

I have been married before and had several relationships before marriage none like this. They always wanted to spend time with me, my husband never does.

I first would like to apologize for the long post, but there’s a lot of back story and story to my questions.... So my husband has gotten several tattoos in the last few years (3 of which he got while on a trip that he never even told me about...I just saw them after the fact when he got home), about 6 new ones in total. When I met him, he had 3. 2 smaller pieces and 1 larger piece that was unfinished. While dating we’d discussed tattoos and never once did he ever mention wanting to get more. He is army and was due to deploy in 2017. A few months prior, he asked me if I knew of any good tattoo places, and I told him no. I don’t have any tattoos but I have had several piercings. After asking around to a few of my friends, I found him some recommendations. I just thought he was getting his larger piece finished...

I got a DM from today her saying that her car got broken into and she was wondering if I saw anything. I told her no but I’d keep a lookout, and she was very responsive with me so I transitioned the conversation elsewhere. I talked to her pretty much all day over DMs, exchanging roughly 20 messages .

The convo started to slow down so I said “hey can I have your number so I can let you know right away if I see anything suspicious? It has nothing to do with you being cute, strictly business;)”. She replied “ahahah ok ok, here it is ________, text me if you find him 👀” . I replied “will do!” And that was it.

Normally I'd start off a conversation with a little banter about whatever we'd spoken about or something like this, but i actually haven't spoken to this guy.
