After an almost ten year rocky relationship and of the ten years, an even rockier four year marriage, I have decided to divorce my husband. He cheated before we were married, and he cheated while we were married. I finally realized that I can not function in a relationship without trust (it took ten years and two children later) and without any indication of change. So, I had him served. Now, I am going through a time where my heart is mourning the loss of my marriage, but my mind is very clear on my decision. Any one else out there who has been divorced or going through it? Any advice on how to cope with the changes? My family dynamic is changed, my life is changed, I am still young and although he cheated, I believe as a married couple, I share in the failure of our break up as much as he did. I often feel as if I did a disservice to my children by marrying him in the first place when common sense told me otherwise since his behavior never changed. How can take positive steps toward moving on with my life?

I was debating someone ( a man) and he insists that all men like prostitutes. It doesn't matter if they want to use the prostitutes services however, the fact that the woman is readily available to have sex with the man is the turn on. I on the other hand believe that there are some men out there who not only refuse to use prostitutes but don't find them alluring at all.

So, I ask the men out there... since you are anonymous.... are prostitutes nasty women or sexy fun for those who are into it?

I have lots of business ideas. I have worked with several different companies and have worked closely with business owners and even served as a primary contact. I have even worked with very small companies and have contributed so much to all of them (this is not in my head, everyone tells me how helpful I am). HOWEVER, I want to start my own business. I also would like to become a published author. I have submitted queries and although agents havent decided to publish my work, the certainly wanted to see more of it before they declined. That let me know that the potential was there. I bring in the majority of the income in my home so whenever I even mention quitting my job my husband wants to hear nothing of it. I have supported him when he went for his dreams, how can I get him to support me with mine? I dont want to just quit my job and work on my projects because that is not the way to keep a marriage happy. BUT-- I am unhappy helping others make the big bucks and never getting a shot at seeing how I can make money on my own. Any advice?

Allow me to state the facts:

He committed a crime

He got caught

He served time

He tries to find jobs and all of them are in sales and he never makes any money

For at least a year he is always looking for a new job.

I have supported a family of four by myself for at least a year or more.

I told him to flip burgers for all I care, just bring in some income. He says he would be miserable. I am miserable now.

I want to give up. I cant continue to support this family on my own. I have my own dreams and I cant do anything I want to do because all of my money goes on my family. If I had help, maybe I would be able to do more for myself.

Any suggestions? What do I do?

I am a hairdresser who is growing her business in natural hair care specializing in dreads (starting and maintaining them). I found a studio that with a booth I would like to rent, but I dont feel that I have enough clientele to make the big transition. At the same time, my clients are demanding more and more services and I can no longer work out of my home. I live in the DC area, however I have no clue how to advertise and keep it cost effective. I am still starting small, but I would like to reach out to more people so that I can grow my biz. Any suggestions?

I work for an agency that is constantly looking for qualified donors and surrogates and I was curious as to how many people have ever considered it.

I am a female who is interested in finding a female friend to hang out with, talk to and generally enjoy one anothers company. The catch is that I am also open to a certain level of intimacy with this female friend that I find. I am not planning what is to happen with this person as I have never planned what was to happen with men I have seen in the past. However, I am not sure how to go about finding a woman who will be open to this idea. This has been on my mind for over a year now and I am finally at a place where I feel ready to explore the possibilities. I know that this is my decision, but I was wondering how one would suggest I go about this. I feel so clueless. Men solicit me when I walk down the street, but women? Its a whole different ball game.

I have been married for 3 years. For 3 years my husband has flirted with infidelity. He has had a woman in the house, went on a date, collected numbers etc. The final straw was him running into his old junior HS crush and texting and conversing with her for a week before telling me about it. It was at that moment that I realized that for three years, my husband has been looking outside of our marriage for happiness and instead of begging, pleading and reasoning with him, I decided to live my own life. The one thing he vowed to do and never do is leave. For some strange reason he wants us to stay together for ever. At this point in my life, I too am too lazy to begin life as a single mom with two children. So what do I do? I start taking numbers, names and making plans to see other men. This isnt to spite my husband, its more so symbolic of me finally giving up on my marriage or lack thereof. lately I have had the urge (which I never had) to experience sex, companionship and courting with other men. The only thing that saddens me now is we have TWO people who no longer care about the marriage. Leaving seems to be logical, but its not so black and white. I love my husband, i am just not in love anymore. And to be honest, I am very comfortable otherwise. Any advice? Please be open minded, honest, and respectful with your answers. Thanks in advance!

I had a Mirena but I didnt like it at all so now I am on the Nuva Ring for birth control. I would like to hear from guys and gals. So whether you use it or your partner does, I would like to hear your thoughts. If you dont like it, please tell me what alternative you have decided to use.

Thanks!

2008- Could of been Beowulf... what a rotten way to start the year.

In Life: Osmosis Jones, Down to Earth... ANY Chris Rock Movie... but what was even worse than that was TRANSMORPHERS... a spoof of transformers that was SOOOO BAD. Oh, but then there was Black Dhalia... another one that reeked to the heavens....

Do you ever sit and wonder, what ever happened to Monica Lewinsky? Or what about Thunder Cats? What ever happened to full service gas stations?

Sometimes my mind runs wild and I wonder what ever happened...

So, just for fun, no matter what it is, or who it is... fill in the blank.

What ever happened to........?

I like everyone left except for the annoying Kenley to win. Leanne, Korto and Jerrell are all talented and likeable but Kenley is so stuck in her ways it eliminates all possiblity of innovation which is what makes a designer a designer! Besides, her attitude STINKS. I cant wait to see her go. I will just die if someone else gets eliminated before her.

I am a married woman who sometimes wants to go out with other men just to be spoiled a little bit. Is that wrong?

My credit is shot. I got married, it went down, fell into debt, slow pays caused it to go down. now I need to consolidate and pay and then just commit to a low monthly payment of like 200.00 to pay off a 8,000.00 loan. any suggestions. I dont want a cash advance. I need the money fast. I am a sinking ship!

When is it okay to say... I need attenton....and get a maintenance man. i have dated while I was married before. i confessed to my husband although the most physical contact I had with the "other man" was a intimate hug and kiss on the cheek. I couldnt bring myself to go further. I have tried to add sparks to the relationship with my husband but for one reason or another he isnt interested. He claims he is but his actions say otherwise. So, I want to date again. There is nothing more exhiliarting than being in the company of a man that finds you attractive and mentally stimulating. I have self control so i can closely monitor how far this will go. Should I or shouldnt i get another man to supplement the VOID that i have in my marriage?

Okay, my husband and I have no time together. I try to send him racey text messages, try to make a pre-agreed time to watch a movie, then he goes out with his friend and missed the date. I tell him about it...he tells me that its not intentional and then at 2AM he's watching porn instead of comng to bed. Is it me or is this guy sooo NOT into me. So...I give up. I have made the effort to have quality time and he seems disinterested. So whats the next step when your hubby is a dud and you have tried everything?

Do you pay attention to peoples avatars, are you interested in them, or do you ignore them for the most part? Does your avatar represent you? Whats in an avatar?

I want to know honest thoughts and views on this. I heard you can make a killing, at the same time, I dont know anyone who really is on a personal level yet. Is it realistic? Can it happen? Please give me all the details.
