Marriage

There are over 20 states that have palimony laws. California, Nebraska, Michigan, New York , North Carolina, Hawaii and Indiana all recognize palimony.

In my 63 years I've never heard of a good explanation as to what love is. This word is the most popular word thrown around the world, but my adage is "talk is cheap, action speaks."

Sometimes two people have different ideas as to what love really is. Your boyfriend or husband may think as long as they provide for you, put a roof over your head and food in your tummy this is a sign of love, while yet another man may be very romantic and shower you with gifts and spoil you rotten. Both are love if that person does not harm you in any way and basically makes you happy. Sometimes true love is quiet and just because someone tells you all the time they love you doesn't make it so. I'll put my bet on the guy (like my own husband) who doesn't tell me he loves me every waking moment, but on occasion. I trust him, and I know he loves me. Love doesn't have to be explained.

I have no idea why you seem to think that you have the answer to what love really is, because the wisest men in the world haven't answered that question to date. I think love is what makes you comfortable, the joy of seeing that person, trust, respect and knowing you will be there no matter what.

Also, it is quite common when dating that each person puts their best foot forward to impress the other. Once marriaged it takes time to get use to each other. Some men almost right away feel they no longer have to impress their new bride. She's theirs! This is where communication comes in and you will need to do this throughout your married life. Being honest about your feelings to your mate is healthy, and if it bothers you I suggest you sit down and discuss it rationally.

It is also important as mates that we learn from each other. One person can be quiet and calm, while the other is very extroverted and "out there." It's a great balance if you learn from each other.

Good luck Marcy

You should have known these things PRIOR to getting married.

You can't and don't find out everything before you get married. My husband and I have been together for 8 years and married 3 of them. I'm still learning him, I don't particularly think people change, but they do change their ways.

Look her up at this web site--free people search by ZABASEARCH. The last address they have for her she left after our divorce became final

I do know how you feel because I was married before and separated at the age of 24 and got a divorce as quickly as I could. To me marriage was forever and I realized I had made a big mistake. My husband cheated on me several times and with more than one woman. All the signs were there from the time we went together He was mentally abusive and soon it turned physical. I finally caught the drift that it no one should have to put up with anyone cheating and certainly not abusive behavior and I left! Of course I was broken-hearted and scared. Still, I found a nice apartment, changed my job and made better money, made new friends and after a couple of months I felt like a caged bird set free and I never looked back on my decision with any regrets. If I hadn't have left him it would have only been a matter of time before he left me. I refused to let this man make me a man-hater (same applies to men being a woman-hater) and forged on. I eventually met and married a wonderful man and we have been married for 33 years. When someone you love cheats on you it breaks a trust between the two of you that should never have been broken in the first place, and you can never get that trust back (if you are the cheater ... not accusing you of this.) Often when the cheater goes his/her merry way, 89% of the time they find they have either made a mistake or they can't stand the fact their ex is seeing someone else and is actually unhappy. The cheater will often start phoning until some end up begging for that second chance. Once a person has cheated it takes years for them to gain your trust and perhaps they never will gain it. Realize that two people are plain old chemistry and this isn't the right person for you. We all make mistakes and since we don't know ourselves 100% we can't be expected to know someone else 100%. Many people think grieving is only saved for the loved ones that pass on, but not true. We can grieve over pets, our homes flooding or burning, traumas in our lives, wars, or the realization of a lost love. Take a couple of months to go through some of the grieving process, but also take this time to get to know who you are and what you are about and realize just how precious you are to many, and also how strong you really are. Once you get the drift of these good qualities in yourself there isn't anything you can't handle. I always say to myself, "There are only two things I can rely on 100%, God and myself." Once you have had a chance to get your feet under you, then get out with friends, start having some fun and enjoy the freedom that comes with it. Go on that trip you may have wanted to go on, and if you can't afford that then go places in your City that you have always wanted to go too and just enjoy yourself. Start spoiling yourself for a change. I am a firm believer all of us have to go through some rough times in our lives to know the good that should be in our lives and weed out the bad so we can forge forward and become stronger individuals. Hang on, it gets a whole lot better! God Bless Marcy

The normal practice for people who get engaged is to set a date for the marriage; that's really what engagement means. It is not intended to be a permanent condition. But if you are engaged long enough and if you live together as if you were already married, then what you actually have is a common law marriage. If, however, you are engaged but not living together, and the engagement has no set duration, then it is a fraud. You are not really engaged. Stop pretending.

go tot a jewelry store and they will size you

Yes

It would seem that if one were asking advice on how to press his suggestion more aggressively than he already has is being too dominating and should leave his wife to make her own clothing choices.

No. No you shouldn't. That would be called "adultery". This is something you don't want to get involved with.

Yes. Well let's put it this way. Say your spouse (husband/wife) has a secret non-sexual love affair. The point of marriage is for you two to love each other but how is that going to work out if one of you thinks of someone else when you think of "love". If your spouse finds out, which he/she might eventually, then it's not going to turn out for the good unless you stop seeing your secret love. It does not matter that it is not sexual because things like this happen to teenagers all the time. And jealousy is in all of us, not just teens. If you can't stay loving your married partner, then your marriage is in jeapordy because one of you isn't cut out for that marriage...

Answer I answered this question within the last few days. The same answer applies, No it's not proper and you should put your foot down with your husband, who does he think he is.

Moderate drinking refers to drinking alcohol without drinking excessively. This usually means that a person drinks small amounts on occasion.

Ask yourself if you know enough about him to want to marry him. Probably Not.

Michael Phelps said that!!!

You can marry where you want, I THINK!!

HOW LONG IS A RELATIONSHIP?

MARRIAGE IS WORKING TO STAY IN LOVE.

FAMILY CAN DETAIL GOOD THINGS AND BAD THINGS ABOUT THE BOTH OF YOU.

FRIENDS MIGHT NOT GIVE YOU THE TRUTH.

MARRIAGE COUNCILORS CAN ADVISE YOU - CHURCH OR PUBLIC

You should discuss it with your doctor. Ask her the likelihood of catching it now if he was always a carrier. You could be exposed to other STDs. You need to review your marriage and determine if it is worth continuing.

• It is not abnormal for some new brides to be shy of getting into bed with their husband. Start now as far as communicating and tell him you feel shy around him because you were never use to sharing a bed with a man before. Your husband obviously loves you so he should be understanding. If it makes you feel better get undressed in the dark and hop into the bed in the dark and if you are making love then do that in the dark until you are more comfortable.

Actually, Ellen is gay! She is married to Portia DeRossi.
