Looking back, I think that our sex life started deteriorating once my wife stop using oral contraceptives and we switched to only using condoms.  No, not because I don't like condoms.

I’m sorry this is so long.

I finally managed to have a real conversation with my wife yesterday—only after I expressed frustration that no one in the family wants to listen to me.  We got our 9-year-old daughter to play in the back yard—with some interruptions.  Our 15-year-old son was out of the house.

(though this was funny, we're not allowed to pick up published information directly from other sources and books.  Sorry!)

Not that this is news to me but it hit me in the face AGAIN that I am married to a 48 year old child.  A little backstory--DH has been in Houston since September 1.  His company has properties there and 9 of them flooded so they sent him down there to head up the fix-it project.  It could be 4-5 months.  I gotta say--I was thrilled when this happened.  We have been talking about separating for a long time.  Our oldest son has been in Costa Rica on a gap year since Sept 16 so it's just me and the 16 year old.

I just had to write this down in a place where others might understand. 

I still keep in touch with my ex's kids and/or their wives.  They were pretty confused when we broke up and we had been close so we wanted to try to still be friends.  Sadly, the repercussions of my ex's behavior are still affecting the people around him even though he and I are over.  

Hello everyone!

I would love some advice on how to chat to my ADD partner about not living together, as I seem to keep doing it wrong, but I am desperate to try and come up with a solution!

This weekened, my wife wanted our daughter to help around the and told her, "You're not going to play all day."

Our daughter started yelling repeatedly, "I don't want to play!"  After a little while, both my wife and I said, "OK, you don't want to play."  Nonetheless, she kept yelling, "I don't want to play."  Eventually, she said that my wife should apologize for "lying" about her wanting to play all afternoon.

...  are the guys just that quick to give up, put up or shut up???
