This topic has been an issue between my husband (30 M) and I (26 F) since we’ve been married. Prior to getting married, we both had close friends of the opposite sex. Nothing inappropriate was ever said or done and infidelity was never an issue. However, we both became a little jealous about our outside friendships and would occasionally argue about them. I could see this becoming a consistent problem so I eventually stopped talking to my guy friends. He still occasionally talks to his female friends. I personally feel like I got the short end of the stick here, considering I had never, in the 15 years I knew my guy friends, had feelings for them (granted they developed crushes on me at various times). I gave up those relationships regardless because I didn’t want to do anything that made my husband uncomfortable. The same can’t be said for him because I know he’s had crushes on all his female friends years ago and I feel like that’s inappropriate to continue these relationships es

So my wife and I are sending emails back and forth to a lender for refinance. I addressed my wife in the email by her first name while responding to the lender. My wife proceeds to text me that I'm so disconnected from her by not saying "my wife will respond" vs "janedoe will respond". She blows my phone up with text that I'm cold and I don't have it in me to naturally give her her place? What the hell? I'm so use to responding formally on emails I did it without thinking? This can't be normal behavior. Any input to how to approach this? Submitted June 03, 2019 at 08:52PM So my wife and I are sending emails back and forth to a lender for refinance.

This might not fall under this sub, but I’m going to give it a whirl anyways. So my whole marriage and during our relationship, my wife and my mother never were on the same page. No fights or anything happened at all so it’s not terrible, but it all kind of reared its ugly head when my Sister ran away from my mother’s house and lived with us for about ¾ of the year. Got my sister her driver’s license, a job, and now she’s going to college in the span of that time. So she’s moved out. During that time though it didn’t make my wife any happier knowing that we were taking care of my mother’s responsibility. Fast forward a bit to this year, we find out that we are expecting!! Mom and sister are doing a little bit better since half a year has passed which is good. My wife tells me that things are never going to get better between my mother and her even though everyone is kind of moving on and then also made the point that my mom doesn’t even reach out to ask how she is doing….so…I told my

I got married a few months ago and I don’t think I want to be married anymore. Before anyone goes after me I want to state that I didn’t take marriage lightly and I wasn’t in a rush to tie the knot. I was with my husband for almost 5 years when we got married. The reason I am considering leaving is because of our families. His family ruined our wedding. They completely disrespected my parents and my family members. His nephew got wasted early and started a huge brawl at our reception. He was drunkenly harassing my sister all night saying inappropriate things to her. He was was harassing the maid of honors boyfriend and starting fights with him all night that several people had to break up. The worst that happened was the nephews mom then got involved and attacked my the MOH and her boyfriend on the dance floor. Her son and his cousins then jumped the moh and her boyfriend on the dance floor. They knocked over my 83 year old grand father. We still had a few hours left and I hadn’t even

Hi everyone, I apologize for the long post. TLDR at the end. My husband and I have been married for just about 4 months. A couple weeks before we got married he accepted a position which required us to move. We moved to our previous location because of a job I took, so it's only fair that we move on when he has an opportunity. Luckily my work has allowed me to work remotely. His job provides optional housing (on-site, he does farm related work). The house is a four bedroom, 1970s mobile home that isn't in the greatest shape. However, we don't have to pay for anything, so it's great. We don't pay rent, electricity, refuse, internet, and his employer is even letting us buy gas for our vehicles with the company credit card (this place is a ways out of town). This is a great opportunity for us to save money while he gets good work experience in his field. We had an argument the other day about money. We each have our own personal checking & savings account, but

I apologize in advance if this does not belong here really just trying to get advice for senior married people and I will try to keep this as short as I can So my wife (27 f) and I (m 25) have been married for a little over a year we have 2 kids and a dog and a cat so perfect little family so forth I have lost interest in having sex altogether I completely find my wife attractive and love her very much but my drive is simply not there. I time and again tell her it is not an issue on her part but she gets frustrated very easily and its something we get into an argument over as of recently I'm sure I should be talking this out but to be fair I have issues expressing my self and emotions to begin with to point where I dint say anything at all which frustrates her more. we are currently at the point where she has lost all hope of ever having any intimacy and has stated that she will be steering clear of me altogether and that I am unfamiliar to her . so as someone who has issues w

My wife and I both 21, have been married for almost 3 years. Yes very young I know. She was a foster child and I came from a upper middle class. Our upbringings and socioeconomic class differences have been a topic is some trouble. Differences in friend groups, how we each view money, our expectations of living environment, how we plan to raise children, etc. She is very much a country hippie type of girl, at least that's what she wants to identify as and make her lifestyle like. The reality is that she is a northern yankee Michigan/ Midwestern/ southern girl. She has a problem with how I view money and the priority it has over the decision on the things we buy. She is stating she wants to live in a trailer park, she is very adamant about this. I would want better for my children if we are ever to have any. She says that she would not feel at home in any house or apartment, but only feel home in a double wide trailer in some small one horse town. Im not sure what to do I do not wa

Background: Wife (34F) and I (37M) have been married 3 years soon to be 4 in late June. Together 7 years. I'm previously divorced (ex-wife cheated, so I left), wife has a son from previous college relationship (now 15 years old). Current relationship: Marriage has been awesome, or so I thought. This weekend out of the blue she seemed more distant than usual, and when I pressed her to talk (she's not great at communication) she told me she's feeling lost and unsure what she wants anymore. She said mostly she just wants to be alone. She said she thinks about what it would be like to be not married lately. She said she loves me but she's worried one day she may not. She's even contemplating not going to a dream job interview because she's not sure where she will be in the next few months? I asked her what brought this on and she isn't sure. She feels like she's not an individual anymore and questions why we got married. She wishes we just stayed together

So I met this guy on Bumble. He's really cute to me and a sweet guy. But a part of me feels like he wants to just hook up. We went on two dates so far. We got drinks and dinner the first date. We are both attracted to each other physically for sure. We got a little tipsy after the first date and made out. We had our second date yesterday. He picked me up from my place, and we went to a bar with games and such. It was a lot of fun. Today's my birthday, so he surprised me with a cupcake at the end of the date when he dropped me off. We ended up making out again in his car, and I feel like he wanted to come up to my apartment. I told him I'd invite him up, but it was only the second date. He jokingly said that it's what you're supposed to do on your birthday (aka birthday sex, which he didn't explicitly say). I was just like it's a late Sunday night and I had work today. And he was understanding about it. He asked if I was free next weekend, and we've be

I'm in a weird relationship where we had a rough breakup and we want to work it out this time. Sometimes I send her some love messages where I tell her my feelings (that I love her and she's the best girl I've ever knew etc...). The problem is she don't reply and she said that if the feeling is mutual the effort is mutual. The problem is I don't see any effort she's doing and I want to do something to work it out. Any help?

Strap in folks, this could be a long one. I am also on mobile so my apologies in advance. I (19m) recently broke up with my girlfriend I have had since sophomore year of high school (roughly 3 years) . We broke up for ~7 months in the middle (i was still in high school, she came back for the summer, and i kinda regret getting back together), but have been dating for the past year. I ended things less than a month ago, and a few days after, a friend-of-a-friend who I had hung around with in big group settings a few times (with my girlfriend present sometimes) added me on snapchat. She didn’t add me because of the break up, because I hadn’t told anyone yet. But there was definite chemistry between us when we had hung out in the past, as we share tons of interests and got along quite well; so much so that she made my ex a bit jealous despite us not flirting at all. She recently got out of a year long relationship about a month and a half ago, and we have been talking consistently for

Hi I don't really know how to start this but I'm a male virgin and recently I've been thinking of buying a fleshlight or something similar but I'm worried that it might take away from when I have sex for the first time ​ Any advice is greatly appreciated, thank you for your time Submitted June 03, 2019 at 11:41PM Hi I don't really know how to start this but I'm a male virgin and recently I've been thinking of buying a fleshlight or something similar but I'm worried that it might take away from when I have sex for the first time​Any advice is greatly appreciated, thank you for your time

So i (26m) am in a relatively new relationship (3 months-ish) with an amazing woman (26f) and over the past month or so we've started having sex. I was a virgin before, but i made sure to educate myself well and she is very happy with our sex life at the moment (freaked her out a bit that i made her cum from oral on my second try, which apparently none of her previous partners had managed, so thanks internet!). It's all still quite novel to me so everything is great for me. When she was over last weekend, after we'd finished having sex she asked me if she could ask me to do something, but she felt a bit unsure if it was ok for her to ask as she wouldn't want to reciprocate this activity. obviously i said she could ask me anything. so she asked if she could watch me masturbate at some point in the future. My initial reaction was that it would feel a bit awkward for me and that i though it was a bit of a strange request seeing as it's not that interesting (probably

I’m (24 F) dating this guy (31) and I really like him, I love having sex with him and I’ve felt the most comfortable with him than I have any partner before. I have in the past never had eye contact with partners during sex because I feel self conscious or awkward about it. How can I change that so I can have a deeper connection with this guy during sex?

So when I sext with my boyfriend I send him videos of me masturbating with my legs open. I'm definitely wet but I'm so focused on making it look hot, and when I forget and just focus on the feeling, it feels alright but not great. So I have no buildup whatsoever. My boyfriend and I have never had sex together before, just sexted but we plan to get naked and do the whole thing together soon. I only orgasm with my legs closed, tightening my thighs while I have my hand between my legs and I circle my clit on my underwear, not directly. I got used to this since I was like 13 because I was afraid I'd get caught. My boyfriend wants to eat me out etc, but I'm scared I won't ever be able to orgasm with him doing things to me because I can literally only orgasm on my side, in that specific position. I've been trying to condition myself to pleasure myself another way, with my legs open and without my underwear. But I can't seem to, I only feel pleasure when I close
