debfife Okay, so I don't have a PhD in anything, but my experience in the trenches is worth more, I think! I have five children. Ages 21, 14, 13, and 10 yr old twins. Soooo, here's some advice for new parents: 1. It's okay for a baby to cry. They can't talk yet, so...

why do men or women take on a lover when allis going great?

DancingRedFeather1 @DancingRedFeather1 (1037) • Canada 23 Jan 09

I wonder sometime why we do things like taking on a lover and risking to lose everything. I wonder what goes on in our minds for us to do so. Do we get a little crazy or like our mind is not in it's right frame of...

debfife It's definitely not okay to do this. First of all, the person doing the cheating already "knows" they are hurting their partner. The cheating is out of selfishness on the part of the cheater. It's ALWAYS because there are problems in the relationship. That...

debfife You didn't say how long you've known this person. Being in love is really tricky. For the first few months it's like a honeymoon we dream about. Everyone is usually on their best behavior and sometimes the things that will really bother us later just don't...

debfife Well, some people just don't know how to talk to others. If she was watching a movie/tv she should have said it was a bad time and call later. Maybe she didn't want to make you feel bad by telling you she was busy. What she didn't understand though, was that...

should I trust him or be cautious

lizmeek @lizmeek (31) • United States 24 Jan 09

This is kinda a long story so I'm going to try and short it up as much as I can. I've been married to my husband for two years and we have a 4 month baby boy. During our relationship he will tell me if girls are pretty, hot, or...

debfife This is a very tough situation and requires that you ask yourself some important questions. First, was your husband like this before you married? Second, does he lie a lot? My guess is that he lies to you a lot more than you know. The lies you have caught him...

I'm not allowed to have my family or friends over any more.

mentalward @mentalward (14690) • United States 18 Jan 09

Not if they intend to help me around the house. That's a new 'law' my husband just laid down. He said it's his job to help me around here. The problem is, he doesn't help me around here... at least, not as much help as I need, not...

debfife From the little bit of information describing what your husband does, I would say he is FOR SURE a control freak. He can't control his OWN life so he is controlling YOURS. It is NOT up to him to decide when your family visits. You are an adult and have every...
