Hey everyone, I'm really in need of some advice. I've been with my husband for 8 years, 5 years of marriage and 3 years living together before that. We have a wonderful 6-year-old boy who just started first grade this year.

I've been feeling on edge for the past 2 years. My husband and I can't seem to understand each other. Our life goals are different, we don't agree on how to raise our son or manage the household. His jealousy has become unbearable, directed towards everyone (our friends, my colleagues, even our son)

I guess it all started after I gave birth. I fully focused on motherhood and other aspects of our relationship, especially the intimate part, didn't get much attention. This created a lot of tension between us. We've both said and done things we're not proud of.

His treatment towards me, as a woman, just doesn't sit right with me. I want to be cherished, admired. But all I hear from him are constant reproaches. It's gotten to the point where he perceives every little thing I do as betrayal. A phone call with a colleague, chatting with friends, self-care routines, new clothes, perfume, even a simple smile - all are seen as signs of infidelity. If I go to a party, he automatically assumes I'm cheating. I won't deny that I attract attention from men, but most of the time, it's just polite small talk.

This constant distrust has left me exhausted. The conflicts escalated so much that winter, our son actually asked me to leave because he couldn't bear to see us argue or me cry anymore. I've been living with my father. My son is much happier now, we've even transferred him to another school which he really likes.

I was ready to file for divorce, but then some of our mutual friends started persuading me to reconsider. They keep saying my husband loves me in his own way and that I should be patient and understanding of his complex character. They said he's already realized his mistakes and is willing to change. They believe that divorce should be the last resort.

Right now, I'm at a loss. While I agree that a complete family is better for our child, I also believe that a constantly fighting environment is not healthy either. So, what do I do?

I don't want to live in a marriage. I, like many people, have had "mistakes of youth". I'm divorced, have children. Marriage is tortured, so I decided to live for myself. After all, finally freedom! I bought an apartment on credit. There were women around me who liked me for some reason. I went to the sea, had fun. Recently, my mistress told me she was pregnant. I'm in danger of marriage, she came to me pregnant and won't leave. I defiantly sleep in another room, try not to communicate. I do not want a family, and I have it again!!!

I have been married for two years and for months now my husband had been picking on every little thing I do, shouting and insulting me. I felt something wasn't right so I went to his phone where I discovered he has been cheating on me. At first I felt maybe I wasn't attractive anymore or because I now had a baby and he want fresh meat, only for me to discover this woman is married with two kids though having issues in her marriage but she isn't divorced. Then I also discovered she was the one behind all the expensive gifts my husband had been coming home with.

I confront my husband with his and he actually blames me for pushing him into it and if I can't tolerate it I can walk and he won't be the first to have a broken marriage after two years. I was pained lost in the thought of how I pushed him into cheating, so I managed to calm everyone down so we can talk properly, where he admitted that yes he is cheating and he isn't the first and won't be the last person to do so.

I put myself together and was just observing him, after few days, he came back home that evening begging that truly I didn't push him into anything, that it was all him, that he was sorry and won't put me in such situation again, he would do right by me, be home early and will stop picking on me. Then I asked his plan forward with his woman, then he said he can't call it quite with her like that because he doesn't want it to look like a use and dump situation, that he would look for a perfect situation to break it up with her so for now he will still have to be seeing her. I should give him My trust again.

Ofcus that wasn't okay with me but I love My husband and I want to save My marriage so what can I do. I accepted

But then, like he said he comes home early but doesn't spend time with my son and I. He is always on his cell phone and when I complain about this he shouts at me saying what do I want from him, do we want to kill him, so he shouldn't be free in his own house, that I am caging him.

I tried to explain to him that all I ask for is at least 30min of his time outside his mobile phone with us. Instead of always being body present but absent minded.

But no matter how I say he sees it as my lack of trust for him, that I feel he is chatting with that woman.

I can't also call him while he is not at home, he shout at me that I am disturbing him and I am calling him because I don't trust him thinking he is with another woman.

I am confused, tired, emotionally and mentally drained, above all I don't know what to do, I can't talk to my parents about this I don't have anyone to talk to anymore. I am marriage yet I am even more lonely that a single lady. I am tired and don't know what to do.

I'm worried sick about my dad. He's been ignoring his health lately. Ever since the divorce, since last year, he's been living alone, and I think it's taking a toll on him. I've visited him 5 times this fall and each time he looks less and less like his old self. What scares me the most is that he's skipping his doctor's appointments. He has high blood pressure, but he says he "feels fine" and doesn't need to go. I'm afraid something bad might happen if he keeps this up. I've tried talking to him about it, but he just brushes me off. He says I worry too much and that he's "old enough to take care of himself." But I can see he's not doing a good job of it. Mom's worried too, even though they're not together anymore. She's asked me to keep an eye on him, but I feel so helpless. I'm the only child and I feel like it's my job to make sure my folks are okay
