Lately our relationship is nothing. We don't talk, we don't fight & we don't spend anytime together.
If he doesn't sign up for school, I am going to ask him to leave, he knows this, but I am getting really scared of what I will do if he leaves. How will I take care of my family properly?

I love my husband and I want to spend the rest of my life with him, but we can't go on like this, if it is mental and he needs help, how do I get it when he doesn't want it?

I don't know if my husband will pay child support. His dad left his mom for another woman when he was 7, he hardly paid child support & once he started his second family he ignored his old one.

Not only that, we owe about $80,000.00 in back taxes & about $80,000.00 in debt, so I don't know if I can get a divorce with out taking care of that first, & I don't have the money to do that.

I just don't know what to do. He won't get in gear, but he is bringing $600 home a week right now, but it has no benefits & we have to put our taxes aside again. And right now he is working, but will that last?

The first year he fell into a depression and refused to work, so I told him to get out. He moved in with his parents and that deteriorated quickly so we finally agreed he could come back if he got a job, went to school, and got help. He finally after about 6 months has held a job for about 3 months now, he has let school sign ups go by about 3 times, and he kind of sought help, but hasn't cooperated completely with the doctors and his medicine, so he's still the same way mostly.

The deadline for the last day he can sign up for school again is July 24th and he says he is going to do it, but hasn't. My mom, his oldest daughter, his sister, my sisters, and our counselor say that enough is enough! I got to get him out if he doesn't go to school this time.

We did this for 4 years, but the agreement was he would go to school and come back in a year or so and do here what he did there. But instead he got a DUI, starting smoking about 4 packs of cigarettes a day, drinking 12 Diet Cokes a day, spending, surfing the net, watching TV, he started eating out and got over weight and out of shape, and became a bachelor.

Needless to say when his job came to an end which it was only suppose to be a 1 to 3 year contract job that ended up going 4 years, he hadn't prepared himself like he promised and he had the opportunity to do it.

Even his parents won't put up with him any more. I've dealt with his antics for over 20 years, but after this last episode our relationship got so bad he left for a while and moved in with his mom and dad and after about 3 months they said enough was enough too.

When I was pregnant with our 8 year old daughter, Brooky, is when the real trouble started that has brought us to the present. He was working for the state of Ohio, it wasn't a high paying job, but we had excellent retirement and health care benefits, and with time he could have moved up especially if he had went to school and updated his skills. He wanted a better job, but sssentially he didn't want to work a long time for it or go to school, so the job hopping began.

I was a waitress, I was going to school, and I was pregnant. But we continued on until the baby was born. Our first daughter, Breanne, was born and I had just graduated from college and was taking time off with the baby.
While I was at home with Breanne I didn't want to put her in day care why worked. So we talked about it and he agreed I would be a stay at home mom and he would do what ever he had to do to support us. Go to school, work, two jobs, etc.

I tried many stay at home jobs, but more often than not over the years I have put more investment into these jobs then I ever got out of them. There is just not an honest field lucrative enough to be a stay at home mom. My parents understood how I felt and helped support us whenever they could, so they pretty much made up the difference of me not working over the years.

So at this point in time he got laid off 2 years ago May 20th, he hasn't been able to find a job in his field since, so he finally after about a year of hardship and many fights and counseling he started getting odd jobs that He quits. He has tried to keep up his expensive habits even though we were On food stamps, Financial Aid, and Medicaid. And, he refuses to go to School even though by now he could have his degree.

When I was 25 I was a Cosmetologist and I was tired of working evenings, Weekends, and Holidays. At that time my husband was in the Air Force. He had dropped out of college 2 times before we got married, so he enlisted in The Air Force instead. He was 9 to 5 no evenings, weekends, or holidays most of the time, so I decided to go back to school and be a secretary.

Mark is double-minded. The principle "treat other people how you want to be treated" is "I'll treat you as I want to treat you and you treat me as I want to be treated" He doesn't treat other people with respect, but he has very specific ideas about how he is suppose to be respectfully treated".

I also think he suffers from ADHD, he has been sort of diagnosed with this disorder, but he doesn't agree with the doctors about his treatment, hence, he doesn't go or take his medicine properly. Our son was diagnosed with ADHD and Tourettes and ADHD is usually inherited from a parent.

I met my husband, who is a year older, when I was 17 and we got married when I was 20 and we have been married 23 years. We have 3 children a 16 year old girl, a 12 year old boy, and an 8 year old girl. I am confused, hurt, angered, and I don't know what is best for the kids and me.

I've known almost from the beginning that Mark had problems, but 1. I thought he would grow out of it, and 2. I was taught that marriage was when you made a vow to someone that you didn't take it lightly that you work through it good or bad. My parents where married for 40 some years before my dad died, it wasn't always perfect, but my parents loved each other and made it work to the best of their abilities.

My story started by the end of February 2004. I called the company I usually buy phone cards to call back home. I have talked few times with the manager who was very sweet to me, I noticed that he had a khaleejy accent.But that day "end of Feb" the manager was joking with me, I asked him from where he was exactly from he said frm Emarate, I started joking with him with the Emarate accent, he laughed so hard. He took my cell number, but I've never thought he will call me back, since I was just joking, and it wasn't the first time...

Our life was great … we spent 10 years together which were as beautiful as can be. Studied together, worked together and lived together … through out all these years we were so much in love, life wasn’t perfect and I thought nothing could get between us ...
