Together 14 years, two great kids, both have good careers. She still thinks she can handle the alcohol. I am sick of it. The kids are tired of it. Talk talk talk. She's not an alcohloic, she says. Ruins every Sunday and every social and holiday with the booze. I can't stand being around her anymore.

My wife recently started working out, and I can't get enough of her tight new bod. She is smokin'!

My sex life with my wife is so BORING! She just lays there and moans, she never speaks about sex or talks dirty. Lately I have been fantasizing about her having an affair, at least then we'd have some friggin excitement. I must be going crazy.....

"An emotional affair is just as, if not more, painful as a physical one. Be an adult and end one relationship before starting a new one."

Why is that more painful then actual sex, please explain.

Kids learn respect via consequences. I'm sorry but a 2 year old doesn't get that bit about 'feelings' and how he hurt them. He needs a time out in his room or ..that's right...'punishment'. A 4 year old is not yet developmentally ready to have a discussion about what is morally right and wrong. He needs to lose his privilages and suffer the consequences of his actions or..that's right..punishment. I am tired of these wishy-washy parents who dare not say 'no' to their child or punish them for fear of their child not liking them. Man up and be a parent! Yeah, sometimes they will not like you and perhaps even fear you. That's what parenthood is. You are not your child's 'buddy' and I for one am sick of the entitlement minded brats these 'buddy parents' are turning out.

i haven't slept with DW in a couple months. tonight she tried to turn me on and i couldn't get hard... what is wrong with me? she thinks im cheating, but im not. when she was about 4 months pregnant i stopped thinking about sex, and now DD is 6 months old and i still never think about it anymore.

I'm 26 years old and just added another failed marriage to my list of "accomplishments". I'm starting to believe the problem is me.

I am engaged to someone who cleans the house, cooks, takes care of our dog, but has absolutely zero passion or initiative in the bedroom. Lately I have been fantasizing about her best friend who does not cook or clean but oozes sex and has a great body. I know it is wrong so why can't I stop myself?

My DW is an AMAZING cook. Utterly amazing.

She also has a severe pinched nerve in her shoulder, so baking was killing her and she stopped making me treats all the time.

So, I set out to be the hero and bought her a brand new mixer.

Now, I either need to lose weight or buy bigger pants...

It takes a lot to push a daughter/stepdaughter away, but once you do, they're gone. She may come home and act like everything's ok, but she will still hate you - I know from experience.
