Recently, I was asked by a man who's wife had left him and his children due to her Mid-Life Crisis: When does the MLC begin and if redirected attention toward the children was an indication that a woman was soon going to click her heels and return home? Here was my answer....it may be of interest to some who have the same question. »more»

I found out six weeks ago that her feelings have changed and she's not sure about us. Apparently she shut down because she tired of my overreactions to minor situations and now feels empty. I have been diagnosed with anxiety disorder and do overreact on occasion, although she admits that it's always over and forgotten after a couple minutes. »more»

I've decided to try for a healthier marriage rather than an affair or walking away, to ease the pain I feel over how my life has turned out. Why? Because of the potential rewards to be found in working out problems instead of tossing them out the door. I think there must be a baby in that basin of dirty bathwater. After all, who else would know you and work with you when you're old? »more»

Hi. My husband is 28 and I am 22. We have been married for three years this coming April. It has been really hard for us ever since we got married but we have made it through. A few months ago, he broke down and said he just felt kinda depressed and like he hasn't done anything with his life. He also said he doesn't feel like he can do anything, I guess as far as hobbies and stuff. »more»

My husband of 5 years who is only 32 has been cheating with various women for our entire marriage. He has mistreated me for several years hoping that I would just get tired of it and leave him. I love him dearly and we together have a 4 year old son. We have also accepted responsibility of his soon to be 6 year old niece and I have an 11 year old son from my 1st marriage. »more»

Music can be very powerful and can evoke memories and emotions. What song(s) best capture how you are feeling and why? (Perhaps at some point we'll put together a iTunes playlist for us all to listen to).

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone else is married and has lots of kids for years? They kind of ruled weather you went anywhere, did anything, especially with spouse. But why? »more»

The Wall Street Journal profiled* a Phoenix-area man who has a 'virtual wife' in the online world Second Life.

He seems to spend more time with his online spouse than his real one. The characters may be having virtual sex (the article isn't clear). The woman who controls his Second Life wife says "There's a huge trust between us ... we'll tell each other everything."

Yet they have no plans to meet and don't contact each other outside of Second Life.

Is he unfaithful to his real wife? »more»

Jan 3, 2007 was when the wrecking ball hit me. All of our married years (18 this Mar 31) I felt so loved and so blessed to have the marriage that I had. But now he tells me he's not sure if he's happy. Doesn't know what he wants to do. He says he feels like he's going crazy and can't make a decision. »more»

Hi All, My wife is having a mid life crisis and has said the marriage is over. I'm completely devastated. At the moment we're still sharing the family home, (3 kids, 17,15, & 7) I would do anything to have her back. Can anyone offer any advice as to how I should be acting? Is there anything I can do? »more»
