Is it hard for a married man to stop calling his mistress because his wife caught his affair?
- It depends on the individual man. One man may have realized he had made a grave mistake and is thankful his wife is taking him back. Another man may have never cared for the mistress (it is generally all about sex in most cases and not much about love.) Yet some men may well find it difficult being forced to stop calling their mistress. When men look for a mistress part of it is something they feel is lacking in their marriage; part of it is regaining what a man feels is romance and the feeling of being attractive to another woman as well as something new such as having sex with another woman. Good communication skills are a must between married couples. It would be wise to sit together and put your hurt and disappointment in your husband aside and ask how he feels about not seeing his mistress. Then both of you should consider marriage counseling to try and save your marriage.
ANSWER:
Good question, was it hard ? maybe for some but for others afraid not. From my personal experience the man I used to be married was more concern about his mistress because I found out what he was doing. I guess he wants to tell her to make up story if I ask her, but never did. He never afraid to call her back then, that is why he is my ex..ditto!
Not even the best guys can seduce any woman.
But if you want to attract women in general you have to treat them with respect, make them feel special, show interest in what they like, pay them lots of attention so they feel like you have eyes only for them.
A great personality is always a plus.
Do this is you are truly interested in a woman, and not just playing her to get sex or whatever. A lot of women fall for a guy like this and it hurts a lot when they find out it was all just a game so the guy could get a little action.
If a bit of action is all you're after go for the women who want that too, because they won't get hurt.
Should I be upset that my husband called me by his x-wife's name twice in the past week?
were you arguing? i wouldn't worry about it, really, unless you have reasons to believe he's thinking about her - it's not uncommon to call people by another name.
- My ex husband did this all the time. It was a form of control as it rocks your world when the person you are married too tells you this. Its like walking on eggshells. Funny thing is, when I finally told him to get out after two years of listening to this, he begged for me for the next three years! I never took him back. I now see he did love me but was mentally screwed up and afraid so he felt he had to keep me down.
- Because they married for the wrong reason or reasons. They want out but don't want to be the one to leave. They crave attention, and being left even though they don't want to be in the marriage, will get them sympathy and lots of the attention they desire. They know they made a terrible mistake. But they want the partner to look like the bad guy.
Why is it considered bad for your relationship if you move in together before marriage?
It isn't necessrily bad. It just depends on an individuals beliefs and opinions. Everyone needs to do what they think is the right way for them.
I think a lot of it has to do with religion. I don't know where they get it from but I know that is something frowned upon in the Catholic religion and I know many others. I think this is carried over into one of those things that everyone thinks society frowns upon. In my opinion forget about what everyone else thinks and do what you think is best. I'm not saying don't listen to others 'opinions', but once you do, make your own decision based on your own reasoning.
Personally, my girlfriend and I have lived together for 4 years. It is the best thing we could possibly do because once we get married we know we can make it. We've gone through all the ups and downs together and have proven our love for one and other over and over. Living together before getting married has given us the opportunity to learn about each other completely before going through all the expense, hassle, etc of getting married. We will one day soon, but living together helps guarantee that once we do we will not un-do it.
Good luck.
I WILL SHARE STATISTICS WITH YOU THAT ARE PUBLISHED IN LADIES HOME JOURNAL MARCH 2003. WWW.LHJ.COM.55% OF COUPLES WHO COHABITATE MARRY WITHIN 5 YEARS OF MOVING IN TOGETHER. 53% OF WOMEN IN THEIR FIRST MARRIAGES LIVED WITH THEIR SPOUSES FIRST. MARRIED COUPLES WHO LIVED TOGETHER FIRST HAVE A 46% HIGHER DIVORCE RATE THAT THOSE WHO DID NOT.
Edit:I just want to point out that the higher divorce rate mentioned above is not necessarily *caused* by living together before marriage. Many couples that will not live together before marriage are more traditional. More traditional relationships, those in which divorce is a remote option (if it is an option at all) have a higher "success rate" than others. If you define success as "staying married."
STATISTICS. IT IS THE SAME REASON YOU WOULD NOT HIT AN 18 WHEN THE DEALER IS SHOWING A 4, IT IS JUST BAD ODDS.
There are as many reasons as there are people. Most of what has been previously answered makes sense. I offer a different perspecitive.
When a couple co-habits without the benefit of marriage, they do so without the legal protection of marriage as well. Not having to go through a legal divorce if they separate can be blessing. Not being entitled to protection under the law can make it difficult to proceed.
One of the basic reasons for legalized marriage is to render legal offspring. But if you look at marriage as a financial institution, like a business, with the marriage partners as business partners; you come to understand it in different terms. If any business partnership ends, the assets are divided between the two and a settlement is made. When two people cohabit, and especially if they accumlate assets in that partnership, (furniture, household goods, savings accounts, a house) there is no legal protection for the distribution of those assets should they split up. During a hurtful break-up, people tend not to be reasonable and accommodating, even with those they "love". This is often what the painful process of divorce is, and it exists for a reason, as any screwed ex-(non)wife or husband can tell you.
I lived with my girlfriend for 2 years before we got married. This year we celebrate our 6th year together. Three of my best friends also lived with their partners for one or more years before getting married. All three are still happily married after 3-5 years of marriage. My sister lived with her boyfriend for 3 years before finally getting married and they have been married for 3 years now and show every sign of being happy. Both of my brothers live with their girlfriends and both of them told me since their girlfriends moved in, their quality of life has improved. I work in management and as a result I work with a lot of different people and get to know them on a reasonably good basis. Of my colleagues who are divorced, only 2 of 11 lived with their partners before getting married. While this is not a thorough survey of individuals I do find it interesting. Moreover, among the people I work with university educated couples tend to live together before marriage and stay together while couples who did not receive post-secondary education tend not to remain together, whether they live together first or not. So my answer is send everyone to university and they'll stand a better chance of living happily ever after. How might this be so? University provides a better opportunity to earn a living. So divorce rates are not a result of living together before marriage, but rather the stresses imposed by poverty.
Lack of respect from religious mother will effet you long term on both sides.
My boyfriend just asked me to move in together, we both live with our families and have been dating for almost 2 years now..we have good carreers, yet since we are just starting the money is just enough...might be able to save some. I am a firm believer that once you get married there isno way back...i do not support divorce and neither does my boyfriend, we want to give it a try before taking the big step to avoid a possible divorce...have a "trial marriage" if you will.
you don't have time to plan it out
it is considered bad for your relationship because of this: you will get married because it is the next logical step, not because you can't live without eachohter OR you will get married because your parents are pressuring you AND on your wedding day all the old ladies will say "I cant believe she's wearing white". Its 2006 and everyone has sex before marraige but at least when you live apart, there can be the illusion and the chance that you didn't.
It is considered bad for your relationship, because there is no real life long commitment. You are not promising each other anything, other than that you are currently cohabitating together. Anyone can find a roommate. It is sort of like saying, well, I'll give you a trial run and if I don't like you enough, I'll just leave. If you give your vows in marriage, you are making a life long commitment and should work much harder at contributing to the success of a life long exclusive relationship
My wife says she loves me but she isn't in love with me anymore?
To explain...
My wife and I have just celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary on Nov-18th. we have been married since she was 18 and I was 22. We are now 34 and 38. We have 2 boys ages 7 and 12. She is a Nurse Anesthetist and is currently doing her residency. I guess it was right around our anniversary that i noticed something just wasn't right. I asked her about it and she assured me it was nothing could explain and she said she would get over it. I decided to just drop it.Then that fateful day came when I had left the house for a little while and came back to find a letter that she was leaving and we needed to separate for a while. I freaked and immediately started calling her and texting to get her back home. I agreed we would go to counseling and after most of the afternoon she finally returned I helped her unpack and we talked, this is where I did what I always did and just blew her off and never really listened to what was happening. She told me that I never help around the house with laundry and dishes and with kids. While she works 65+ hrs a week. I am a local truck driver and work about 45 to 50 hrs a week. We never went to counseling and I said I would change and start helping and never realized I was still being the same old me and nothing had changed. She noticed and we fought again. I finally ended up leaving this time and realized that night I screwed up bad. I called her and said I was sorry, and I was coming home to make things work. She said thank you for trying. I came home the next day which was a last Friday and I washed all of clothes in the laundry room and put them away, I washed the dishes and put them away, their was also clean dishes in the dishwasher that I put away, I cleaned up the kitchen and had the boys squared away before she got home around 6pm. We talked for several hours when she got home and I assured her I changed and I really listened to her and never raised my voice at her not even once. She told me it's just something she feels and has felt this way for over a year! She said it was something she needs to work on. I assured her this was the "new" me and I am a changed man and I was sorry it took this long for me to realize what I was doing. I think we made love that night then I went shopping with her on Saturday and we made love again that night. we went to church on Sunday (something we hadn't done in many years). We just talked for a while telling each other that we loved one another and made love again. Monday I went to work and she texted me that afternoon saying that she would be late working, I told her no problem that I had to drive to McAllen Tx that night which was 9 hours away and I would ask my mom to come sit with the kids. I went home that afternoon and washed dishes and done laundry and fed the kids and made their lunches and laid their clothes out for the next morning. I then called her and brought her a hamburger up to her work because she was Hungary. She was just getting off and so we ate and talked a little. She assured me she loved me and that she was working on her "Issues". I told her everything was done at home and I left to go get in my truck. Drove all night thinking about us and got to where I was going at about 5:30a and unloaded at 7a. Still no sleep worrying about us. I called her on the way back and we calmly talked and this is when she told me she loves me more than anything but she's not "in love" with me, because of all the time I treated her wrong by walking on her. She said she sees that I have changed and she was very happy that we can talk and she felt better about telling me. She also said she wished I had done this a very long time ago and that she was here and willing to get rid of her feelings and move on, but she needs help from a someone. Tonight we talked again and I assured her that I am forever changed and how much I love her, and I would be the best Dad, Husband and Friend she could ask for. I explained how sorry I was for doing her the way I had done over the years and that she was the best wife anyone could ever ask for. We both broke down crying, and after a little while we finished agreeing we would fix this. A little later we ended up making love again from kissing. This time it was very passionate. I don't want to loose her and she don't want us to end either she has an appointment with counselor on Monday and I do on the 22nd of December. I know she has anger about the past she needs to deal with and I am doing my very best still. She just don't know how. I told her tonight that was done kissing up and I was just going to be the old me just an "updated" version. The guy she fell in love with before. I don't want to drive her away by trying to hard. I am worried sick. Does anyone out there see her and us getting better? What could I do to help her fall in love with me again? I have a company Christmas Party Saturday night, she is very excited about that and so am I. What could I do to on this night to help re-spark old feelings? I am glad we are still both trying and her love isn't completely gone. Their has to be hope. Thanks.

In Neolithic period what marriage form are they monogamy or polygamy?
The neolithic period (beginning about 9500 BC in themiddle east and ending in about 3500 BC Bronze Age, ...derived from the Greek, literally "new stone age") is a term invented in 1865 by Sir John Lubbok and it represents the very EARLIEST times of THE single surviving human species...namely us...homo sapiens. No one can truly say whether they were "either - or" monogamous or polygamous, since no reliable records of statistical representations of marriage relationships exist. We DO have accounts such as in the Old Testament regarding Abraham and Sarah who lived approximately 2000-1500 BC, but they were way AFTER the Neolithic period. Abraham you may recall from Genesis is regarded as the patriarch of Jews, Christians, and Muslims and he practiced polygamy - although reluctantly -it is said - to bear a child with Hagar who was Sarah's Egyptian handmaiden. Hagar's child was Ishmael who is the ancestor to Muhammad.
Since polygamy had continued to modern times with the Church of Latter Day Saints settling in Utah (called Mormons) as well as some middle eastern peoples (up to a total of 4 wives are permitted in some cultures), it is most likely that polygamy MAY have also been practised by Neolithic peoples. However, polygamy is usually associated with WELL-TO-DO persons because of the support structure involved with husbands having more than one wife. I very much doubt that a woman back then had the luxury of many husbands, since males of all higher species (species with backbones) almost ALWAYS engage in competition for the attention of a female, but again, no scientific evidence I am aware of exists regarding Neolithic people and cultural practises of marriage, etc. Today, Muslim women cannot practise polygamy. Neolithic peoples DID have a consciousness of an eternal soul, an afterlife, as seen by their burial ceremonies and art. It also seems by their early dwellings that they were largely egalitarian societies and they focused primarily on SURVIVAL by agriculture and by procreation...but not by what we know today as a Renaissance-like image of romanticism (as in Romeo & Julliet).
I suggest you review some of the wikipedia sites and read and learn about what we "sapiens" know about our time line on planet earth. And please take note how our species was established in most ALL of the major geographical areas by the end of the Stone Age called the Neolithic period and how we were all genetically linked by then.

How can you go back on track with your relationship after your husbands infidelity?
Many relationships can actually be mended after infidelity believe it or not. Before you find the way back to happiness after infidelity breaches your relationship you first must find the root of the infidelity. Women are much more emotional and cheat for different reasons than men do. Many times women are seeking validation of themselves when their mate often ignores them or doesn't spend adequate time kissing their backside.... You know... Telling them how perfect, wonderful and beautiful they are. Other women will cheat for fiancial gain. Ie their husband doesn't buy them enough gifts or simply isn't up to par in treating them like a goddess.
Here's the thing.... Women need everything to be perfect in order for them to stay true to one partner. The mate must be good looking, wealthy, spend TONS of time pampering the hell out of her, buying her expensive jewelry, cars etc.... In order to back on track with a woman of this type there are three things you can do.... Either go out and get a MUCH better job or hit the lottery and buy her her own island. On this island she must have servants who remind her of her everlasting beauty at each moment. The third thing is to make sure this woman stays in complete isolation because at the first site of a bigger lottery ticket, she's GONE! See what I'm saying?
Why do men cheat? Simply put.... Men cheat because they get bored of the same old thing each and everyday. That coupled with the fact that they like variety. I don't care how great the steak is....After five years of eating the same damn steak.... You see what I'm saying? Men cheat because they like variety and in most cases it's "just sex." What does that mean? It means that they view the partner as nothing more than just an object. I'm not saying they don't respect them or that they don't like them. In many cases they do. It's just that they would rarely ever choose this person over their wife who they probably love a great deal. Sex is just sex, afterall.....
By now you've probably figured out that this piece was meant to lighten the situation of the person looking this up because their significant other probably cheated on them. It's not in any wy shape or form meant to give real advice.... Hitting the lottery or buying an island are completely unrealistic unless you're 90 years old with only a cat in your will or Jay Z.
I don't condone cheating nor do I believe that women only cheat because they like to be pampered. Some women just need to have the bottom knocked out of them by a strapping young buck every now and again. It happens!
If your spouse cheated on you and you want to get things back on track here's what you need to do... Either trust them or get the F out of dodge and tell them to have a nice life! Once someone cheats, the realization that they will most likely do it again.....and again.....and again...... and again will probably set in and more than likely doomed. Once a cheater, ALWAYS a cheater. That's the only FACT in this entire thing. Good luck
