It feels like my husband gets so worked up over any tiny or big inconvenience, problem, or argument and also gets mad if I’m annoyed that he’s mad. The negativity and constant outlashes really bring me down and I try to talk to him about it and he just says I’m asking him to be happy 24/7 which I’m not. I just don’t know how to get through to him on the subject and at the same time I don’t know how much more I can take of it. Which makes me really really sad. submitted by /u/Heeler-mom [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I (30f) didn't want to come on my husband's (30m) family vacation. I don't have the social meter to go out a week straight from sun up to sun down with a ton of people, and I really don't care for DAYS of socializing. I told my husband to just go without me because he would have fun, and he would do just fine without me around. He said he absolutely would not enjoy the vacation without me, that we should be together and that this vacation would be great for us. We can do anything we want, we don't have to hang out with the family. Fast forward to vacation. My husband has literally been paying ..read more

Me(30F) Him(35M) Married 10 years. It used to just be clothes and electronics left everywhere now it’s food too. This morning I woke up to an almost full gallon of milk on the counter that had turned room temp it had been left out so long, an open bag of cereal and the bowl just sitting in the living room. Dishes are being left everywhere from the sink to our bedroom. I’m losing my mind. I’ve spoken to him about it but he doesn’t see an issue. ? submitted by /u/Pure-Emphasis-9725 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I posted on here about 2 years ago about struggles in my marriage. We did end up separating-we never did get divorced. There were lots of details in between, but we are recently reunited, happily. I wanted to post this just to say… everyone thinking about splitting up, or leaving someone because of some stupid crap they did… the grass really isn’t always that greener. Think twice. And maybe 100 times. And I’m certainly not saying everyone should stay together, no. But it seems like there are lots of comments around here of people saying to leave him/her, and your problems are solved. That was ..read more

He is very narcissistic and controlling and after years of “trying to fix things” and “changing” for him… I’ve had enough. I’ve been gone for a month and I’ve been so much happier and decided to sleep with someone for the first time in over 6 years. I got it out of my system. He asked me not to “cheat” while we’re separated but doesn’t realize I left to never return and he thinks there’s still a chance but also hasn’t made any efforts to become a better person. I’ve learned after years if they wanted to change they would and if they’re not willing to do it for you then there’s no reason to st ..read more

Helloooo all! So last night my wife and I were laying in bed at around 2 am. We were talking and I was reallllyyy sleepy. We were planning where we wanted to go eat the next day as a date. We decided we wanted Denny's since it's been a WHILE since we went and I mentioned I miss their nachos (they're so good). I made a comment that we should go kind of early to beat the church crowd since every time we go on Sunday for lunch it's soooo busy. Well my wife very suggestively said "Right now would be a really good time... Think of how quiet it'll be with no people..." And I admit I shot it down pr ..read more

Hi, F25 here with a husband of the same age. He was a virgin before he met me at 21. We had sex almost every day when we were first dating but then it quickly (within 2-3 months) fell to once every week, with me initiating. Then it became once every month and within 2 years (we have been married 3 years) we stopped having sex at all except on rare occasions. It's been almost 12 months now since we last had sex. We have had many talks about this but it seems that my husband is getting more and more low libido over time. In the beginning he would get me off with his fingers, but he stopped both ..read more

I'll preface this by stating that my husband and I have been together for about 15 years (college sweethearts, through graduate school up until today) so we basically grew up into adults together. We have been married for 3 years. Our relationship has gone through a fair share of ups and downs - one break up early on for about 6 months, but then got back together and have been together since. As all relationships do, we have cycles where everything is going great and we're exceptionally in love, and then cycles where we're off sync and are arguing all the time. We usually do a decent job of g ..read more

There is a quote that I don't remember well. It is something about how iron sharpens iron, two people in a caring relationship can sharpen each other. How has being in a dedicated relationship with your spouse made you a better person? submitted by /u/papugapop [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
