In 20 years from now, if you look back and rate it, did you succeed?
What is important? Pleasure, fun, survival, sharing skills, sharing the remote, raising kids, going to fundraiser dinner parties with someone that sleeps in the same bed as you…? What is the point of your marriage, what would you most like to get out of it?

I recently cam of active duty army to greet a “Real world” with open arms, but found out in a hurry that with a son, wife and various other bills in my life 1 job just wasnt’ enough. I am faced witht he burden of being the man of the house and picking up a second job (16 hours a day). At what point do you think my wife should sacrifice as well, i mean i think it’s pointless for her to work just to pay the cost of child care could just stay home but i mean come on….. I think in the end i will burn out.
Just an open ended talk, give me your input anywhere!! 
thx!
Just to clarify the situaion thanks for reminding me. We had our son on january 9th of this year, I came home off active duty on the 22nd of december. While i was away we both split the duties, and yes she was lonely but so was I, and we didn’t have the added stress of a child in our lives yet.

My husband and I have been married about one year. We are both 45 and have the full complement of ex’s, daughters, step-daughters, former in-law’s, etc., most of which we take in stride. However, I was involved in a violent relationship for five years which I was finally able to extricate myself from. It seems that the scars from that are negatively affecting my marriage now. When we argue, I have a tendency to get really extreme really fast, and I recognize that this is a result of the irrational survival skills I learned in the scary relationship, but I can’t figure out how to let go of them. Also, my husband tends to be passive and have a hard time making his point when we disagree, and I feel very goaded by that. Goaded to behave too extremely. Does any one have any ideas? I have gone to therapy, but I recognize that I’m probably not done there or I wouldn’t still be having such severe dysfunction in my relationship.
has anyone ever fell in love with the wife/husband of a friend? I have some close friends who have fell on some hard times. Their marriage has been dead for a couple of years and has neve really been good. It’s not my place to judge, but recently the wife expressed feelings for me – and since I have a lot of respect for her and it opened a door for me that I finally confessed the same feelings.
I realize that this could hurt my relationship with her husband and I can deal with that. I have no intentions of having an affair, but the fact remains we had this conversation.
Has anyone had a similar experience? What was the outcome?
Both of us feel like that when the time is right we’ll end up together, but I’m hurting because I have this guilt.
Her husband, my friend already suspects something. So, that makes it worse.
Anyway, I realize that I’m not the only person in the world to have this problem, so those of you who have had this experience, please let me know that the result was
