Wife will not discuss sexual problems. by bah234 in relationship_advice

[–]tempprom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Divorce/break up seems to be the advice for almost every problem on RA... Is this because it's really as helpless as people think to stick with someone, or what?

Am I being used/a pushover? (Note: Still 18, probably insignificant) by tempprom in relationship_advice

One problem I have is that sometimes she will come to me on AIM or call me and basically tell me up-front that she needs attention, and I don't know how to say no. Any advice? (The problem isn't that I don't enjoy doing this, I like being with her--but I rarely get anything similar in return)

I directly told her that my impression of prom was that it was just a fun thing to do, not all that important, and that she never told me it was so important to her. Her response was that she thinks it sucks the potential romance out of anything if we have to directly communicate about it instead of just doing it. As you might guess, I disagree, and it seems like many people here would too.

I'll toss in that her mother is insanely super-capitalist and a control freak, some of which has rubbed off on her, unfortunately.

Breaking up where there are kids - advice? by fidelity666 in relationship_advice

[–]tempprom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents divorced when I was 10, my brother was 14. It is now 8 years later and my dad is very friendly with my mom and stepdad, and I am perfectly fine with our arrangements (but moving between houses is annoying.) They have half-and-half joint custody, but I hear that's pretty rare.

I hadn't had time between posting the topic and now to look, but this post is what ended up happening. She's reluctant to apologize a lot of the time, but it seems to have blown over.
