I am in one of the most difficult times of my life and I am writing to
seek some advice.
I am married for 8 years and have two children, a 6 year old and a 5
year old. Ours was arranged marriage. Few weeks after our marriage, I

Hello.  I've been married for 7 years.  We have 2 kids under 8.
I met my wife while working at my first job after college, which was in
a location that I never thought I would stay in.  I thought I'd be in
this state for a year and then move on.  I did move away for 3 years

Hi, I need some advice. I am a working mother\wife. My husband has
stayed at home with our 2 children for the past 6 years. During this
time he has worked part time evenings, then went to school and is
working evenings again using the schooling he took. He works part time

This is going to be long, but please please please bear with me... I'm
at the end of my rope.
Let's start off by giving the cast of characters.
My wife... a wonderful person whom I love dearly, but has three big

Ok, After DH has ripped me up one side and down the other with verbal
assaults recently...... and then gave me the silent treatment... (except

she visited this person a couple states away, with a cover up of
visiting a friend she worked with there.  I find out, and get the story
out of her.  She claims it was nothing, and didnt have sex with anyone.

I tried to break the ingagment off.  I told myself I was going to stand
my ground.  I was not going to let the tears get to me.  But, he was
begging me not to break his heart.  He said he could not live without

Here are a few facts apparently not in the forefront of some
people's minds:

"A man's life, miserable life: men get sick sooner and die
sooner". This grim picture was painted by the organisers of the first
world congress on Men's Health, held in Vienna, Austria. They were
alarmed, reports the German newspaper Suddeutsche Zeiteing, by the fact

Well, tonight it came to a head.  I went to the therapist last night
who is sending me to my doctor to get anti-depressants.  That really
got me thinking so when the wife called me on my way home from work I
didn't fake happiness I told her I was miserable and couldn't hide it

So this may be long winded. I want some second opinions on my fears in
my marriage. First of all, where do you draw a line of a healthy
attitude about sex?
I find myself torn in more than one direction when trying to understand

My wife of a little over 2 years seems unhappy all the time lately. A
male work friend of hers left work a month or so ago and she's not been
the same person since. I feel as though they may have had a
relationship behind by back. I've questioned her about their

I am loooking over topics in relationships and am asking questions that
men never seem to comprehend in a relationship.
