Needs advice

So we are not married but I wanted to post here because I have been married and feel like I will get more mature advice then on relationships. My bf and I split up a year ago. After 6 months we decided to try it again. Try dating and then moving forward we have been back together for 6 months. Before we split we had been together for 4 years and lived together for 3. Since we split he went back to living at his moms. So now that we are back together we are not living together right now due to his neice living there and needing a ride to school everyday. Because they live out f her school district. Well school is over and she will be getting her liscense next month. About a month ago he tells me that his friend was willing to rent US one of his properties for really cheap. I thought well that’s great we are actually gonna live together again and he wants to. So the other day we were at his moms/ his house. And he said something about wanting to get off the hill and she goes well why d...

How to Overcome a Rough Patch

My husband and I are going through quite a rough patch. We are about to move to a different state, are trying to buy our first home, and he is switching careers entirely. That being said, money is tight, stress is high, and our marriage is taking a hit because of it. I have suggested counseling and even went so far as to reach out to a therapist, but my husband refuses to go. He says I need individual therapy for my personal issues and that he and our marriage are fine. It makes me feel like I can't go to him when I'm upset because obviously I'm just seen as the crazy one. Ugh. I honestly have just wanted to drop the rope and let him run our finances and sanity into the ground because I feel like nothing I do or say is appreciated or taken seriously. It's so hard to keep fighting when I feel like it doesn't make a difference. Realistically, what can I do? Submitted May 29, 2019 at 03:06AM My husband and I are going through quite a rough patch.

Married in 18 Days! Things I might not expect?

So I’m (21F) marrying my amazing fiancé (23M) in just over 2 weeks. He was my first relationship ever and we’ve been together 2.5 years. We’ve talked about major things like finances, family, kids, dreams, etc. We do come from different family dynamics but we all get along pretty well (no issues with my MIL though I can’t say the same for my mother right now, though not too bad). Does anyone have advice for our future or topics that my fiancé and I should talk about that we maybe didn’t think about? Thanks! Edit: I should probably mention that we both graduated last year from the same uni and that we don’t live together until after the wedding (for multiple reasons) but we see each other pretty much every day. I’m in the process of moving in. Submitted May 29, 2019 at 03:41AM So I’m (21F) marrying my amazing fiancé (23M) in just over 2 weeks.

Best marriage counseling books for better communication?

Hello, World. Does anyone have any suggestions on best marriage counseling books? We need to better our communication but would like to give a book/guide a try before making the step to therapy. Preferably, these books would not have any strong religious tones. Any and all help is appreciated. 😀 Submitted May 29, 2019 at 03:44AM Hello, World.Does anyone have any suggestions on best marriage counseling books?

My wife wants to travel with her girlfriends

I’ve been married to my wife for almost 2 years. We traveled to a few countries in Asia. But we haven’t traveled ever since she came to Canada last year. Now she wants to travel with her girlfriends to Europe for 2 weeks. Is this ridiculous? My wife will not allow me to go with her, she told me she will go to Europe and this is really pissing me off.

Feeling depressed, need advice on my situation?

I am currently 32 years old male here who just finished oral surgery residency (training). Although I am happy, I don't feel fulfilled. Throughout my years of schooling I had on and off relationships which did not last. This was mainly because I was really focused on school. My friends have been happily married for years and have kids of their own. It just made me realize that I currently have no significant other and one of my goals in life is to have a family with a woman I love (whoever that may be). Due to my age, is it too late for me to form a relationship, get married, and eventually start a family?
