How long should you wait if a married man asks you to wait for him?
== == is the guy worth waiting? is a MARRIED man worth waiting? one question...what if you're the man's wife and your husband has another woman, what would you feel?im a child of a broken relationship. my dad and mom got separeted since i was three yrs old . i know the feeling of not having a complete family. ive met all my father's girl. i know my mom and dad would never be together again and i blame my father's girl for that and got mad with my father too. i know this one hurts but think of this maybe if you're out in the picture their relationship could have been saved. stop waiting for him. stop waiting for a MARRIED man. its not worth it. sorry. :(
Why wait at all! So many women really believe that the married guy they are having an affair with actually is going to marry them. About 1% do. Married men can get bored or feel they are missing out on the good things of life, or they are trying to recapture their youth and some are egotistical maniacs. No matter what the excuse, having an affair (this goes for both men/women) is immature, self-centered, egotistical and hurts many of those involved. I wouldn't touch a married man with a 10 foot pole! I would disrespect the man for cheating on his wife in the first place and I'm too smart a woman not to know that if he cheats on her, he'll cheat on me. There are some men that simply do get divorced, but until that divorce is signed, sealed and delivered then he should never expect another woman to wait. He has no intentions of leaving his wife, and if he did he would want his freedom and has no thoughts of settling down with another woman yet. Kick this guy to the curb! Get your pride and dignity back and go for a single guy or one that has got a divorce.

How can you have more than one wife?
In most modern Western cultures, it is not legal to be married to more then one person at a time. It must be kept in mind however that there are other society's in the world where having more then one wife is not illegal and the number of women you can take as wife is limited to what you can afford. This is not cheating this is just the way it is. even in a biblical sence there is no problem with having more then one wife.
Is proxy marriage recognize in Nigeria?

See the Mariage Act for further enquiries or contact a qualifies personnel of the Marriage Registry in Nigeria.
Where can a 21-year-old and a 16-year-old get married without parental consent?
There is no place in the US (or North America) that you can get married without parental consent at an age younger than 18.
And its for a reason. way too young and naive at that age no matter how sure you "KNOW" you are.
The above is incorrect. Most of the states allow the two to go before a judge, and, provided they meet some state-specific conditions, the judge can grant them permission to marry, EVEN if the parents of one or both object.
The conditions which will allow a judge to grant this petition vary by state, so you'll have to look them up in your specific state. Typical reasons are: pregnancy, parental abuse, parental neglect, parental incarceration or commitment for mental conditions, severely unstable familial conditions, etc. The two will also likely have to show they are reasonably responsible people able to take care of themselves without parental support. This can also be shown by one set of parents voluntarily committing to help support the couple (in the case where only one set of parents object).
How do you tell your husband you have fallen out of love with him but we have children?
that's very sad. marriage is forever.
before you make the decision that could possibly ruin your children and potentially your wife as well---truly think about it please.
AnswerI agree with the above poster. If you read this board you will see many examples of people thinking the grass is greener on the other side when it turned out not to be true and when they realized they had made a mistake it was too late!Marriage is difficult at times with financial worries, two people living in the same house and then along come children. Often children take up much of the wife's attention and it's a pure balancing act for her to attend to the children and give you attention as well. If a man is smart he will help his wife with the chores around the house, take the kids to school, doctors appointments, etc., as well and thus, it makes time for the couple. Also taking time out for the both of you and getting a baby-sitter and doing something with friends or just going out for a romantic dinner can work. Go on a mini holiday on a weekend and get away from the children. It's important a couple touches base with each other whether they have children or not.
If you are 40 plus, then you could well be going into "Andropause" which use to be called "Mid-life Crisis." Women go thru premenopause (become edgy, cranky, cry for no reason, feel lethargic and have hot flashes.) Men go through similar symptoms during Andropause. Both men and women often will reflect on their lives around this time and usually feel they haven't accomplished what they want. There seems to be a need in each of us that we want to fill and sometimes we don't know what direction to go in.
You stand a chance of losing the most precious things in your life ... wife and children. Without trying the best you can and sitting down and communicating with you wife (don't tell her you've fallen out of love with her) then you didn't take your marriage vows very seriously. If this involves a younger woman (not accusing you) then my friend, you are in for a rude awakening. Many young women are extremely independent and by the way ... don't do windows or cook! You may think this is a nice change of pace, but a man can get very tired of this way of life. Smart women make their men think they are still running the home.
It's your choice!
AnswerThe feeling of falling in love is just a feeling. It comes and goes in all relationships. Real love comes after the magic fades, the smoke clears and the fantasy is shattered by reality. Real love is a decision and a commitment to do everything in your power to put someone else's needs above your own. The satisfaction you will gain from giving this kind of love will return a thousand times greater feelings beyond initial falling in love feelings. It is the difference between the candy you liked as a child that was too sweet and lacked complexity and the dessert your mouth waters for when painstakingly prepared with care. If you continue to chase after the initial thrill, you will never gain the greatest joy of being part of something bigger than yourself.Another view:
If you know beyond a doubt that you don't love your wife, and if you know counseling, nor anything else will help, then you need to tell her. For one thing, it is not fair to your wife to allow her to continue thinking she is in a marriage with a man who loves her. Also, if you truly don't love your wife, your children will pick up on the fact that something is off, but they may be confused because they won't really know what. And, since children have a way of thinking things are their fault, they may think they have done something wrong.
Children have a way of picking up on things like that, and they will detect an unhappiness in the home. This could result in them feeling insecure, which I'm sure you would not want for them. Having no marriage is far better for children than living in the middle of a bad one.
Also, a happy parent is a better parent, and it would not be selfish of you in the least to tell your wife you no longer love her. You owe it to her, to yourself, and your children to try to save the marriage if you feel you can, but if not, then I do think you need to tell your wife the truth. Otherwise, your unhappiness may begin to manifest in different ways, creating an unhappy and insecure home for your children.
But if, and when, you do tell her you don't love her any longer, please, don't do anything to try to make the children choose sides - there should be NO sides in this. Your children need to be reassured that they will always have two parents who love them, and will always be there for them.
Too, if you have met and fallen in love with someone else, or if you do so soon after telling your wife, do not bring her into your childrens' lives for a bit, or they may blame her for your divorce, which could lead to resentment of her and result in them never accepting her. They will need time to adjust to the change in their lives.
Now, as to how to tell your wife you no longer love her, the best way is to just say it, but say it with kindness. Don't tell her it's her fault because she did or didn't do this or that, you have to remember this will hit her like a brick wall. She will need time to digest and try to understand what went wrong, and you owe it to her to tell her, but tell her in the kindest way possible.
After she recovers from the initial shock and pain, she may then become quite angry, which is normal. People can deal with anger much better than they can with pain, so try to understand if that's the route she takes. But don't let it affect you, your decision or your behavior. And above all, don't ever display your anger in front of the children. Your wife WILL recover, and she will eventually get on with her life.
Just realize you deserve happiness as much as anyone else does, and staying in a marriage where you no longer love your wife will not be doing your children the good you may think.

Positive effect of early marriage?
Hmmm,
1:better flexability and adaption to your mate, as you are less locked into your own world views, and less likely to be deeply entrenched in your own habits and idiosynchrasies.
So therefore, your more moldable to form a stronger bond in your relationship.
2: You will mostl likely have children at an earlyer age, and therefore be able to relate to them better, due to a slightly smaller generational gap between your agdges, not too mention your ability to keep up with them better phyisically.
3: You are less likely to have had as many previous sexual relationships, therefore increasing the specialness of the sexual relationship with your spouse.
Note:
Im a single guy/student. however i feel as though i am still speaking from a credible enough viewpoint.
Great Question. you should look into www.answers.yahoo.com also.
Let's define our terms first: I consider an early marriage one that takes place when both partners are under 30 years old. Let me further describe a successful marriage as one in which each partner feels that the other party helps fulfill their life goals. This is of course a vague description but it describes best what I consider an important ingrediant to a successful marriage: achieving our life goals.
Of course this is an arbitrary classification by age and life goals. I will admit that there are many young people in an early marriage, who because of their life experience are engaged in a successful marriage.
But in an early marriage, partners very often have not clarified their life goals.
There is an advantage and disadvantage to all that. Very often it will be possible to formulate your life goal in an early marriage and have your partner participate in reaching them. This is the positive side. But never forget that in an early marriage, when one partner's life goals contradict those of the partner, the marriage can quickly fall apart.

What is emotional abandonment in marriage?
Instead of physically leaving the relationship, your spouse simply checks out emotionally. They stop investing in the marriage, leaving their mate feeling detached and unwanted. To the outside world the situation can still look rosy, but in reality the relationship is dying a slow, quiet death. Found this on a website. __________________________________________________________________ Not, a published knowing. When this happening does take place, during, and after, it depends on what: Home, Friends, Parents, or feeling abandonment inside from society itself. Staff in high school's use that as a logo to just say, it's a trend (when what's behind that front is worse than some could think). Certain circumstances, time, places, before B.C times, because it is an emotion. It has been going on for a long time. Ex: Seeing abandoned places, (not a fact, it's a view) warehouses, houses, barren place, castle that once had joy, it's the same ambiance (feeling): empty, cold, has a sadness, though it's not "living" but it still can brought back to life. To get to quick point: A point of "acceptance" has come, realizing it's happened. Denial can happen, because the "belief" in the mind has hit a threshold. Shattering [can] occur, not feeling real, "losing" identity for a time period; (it's the circumstance it can manifest in different ways) Intense pain as psychical the brain releases endorphins/dopamine which are associated with pain/pleasure. Remorse, de-realization (dissociation), from desolation of what that circumstance is, defense mechanism to "tune" out what is happening (separation from reality). Pain changes. Personality disorder's are in that category from trauma The least of all separation of "self") into alter/split personality, to maintain. This is a scenario, it is not fact. The feeling trauma Dissociate disorders. Know what caused, desolation and reason out the desolation, rebuild.. 2+2= won't see that pain anymore, look down on it. Bitterness, can stay, it's not the best, causes anger lead to wrath. To anyone who reads, hold on, and believe, even when "logic" says "it's not going to happen". There are things, that are unexplainable, but this is hint. Love radiates, like a warm fire, keeps life. Take this, if you need it. Someone wrote this to help. Take Care, to all.
What percentage of marriages last 60 years?
not much because the average life span is 70's so assuming you marry at 18 then you would be 88 years old. and both people have to live that long for it to count. so i would say 10 to 20 percent.
How can you make your spouse be emotionally connected with you after his affair?
Winning back your wife after your emotional affair will be hard.
You broke the bond that the two of you had for a long time. I'm not sure the situation of your relationship with your wife before you have the affair.
Do you know what women feels when we discovered that our husband had emotional affair with another woman? It make us fools because man and his wife supposed to be one. Your wife will ask herself why you had to find another woman just to talk to her and maybe more. She will feel that she's not good enough to be your best friend. She will have a hard time to trust you if you can't even talk to her about whats in your mind.
I guess emotional affair is very popular between couples in United State. Now my question to you is why can't you talk to your wife about anything, not just about bills, children and mortgage. Have you talk to your wife about intimacy, the one that both of you shared for a long time. Do you know how your wife feels right now, naked because you probably talk to this other woman about your life with your her. Or maybe the two of you already shared the intimacy supposed to belongs with your wife. Get ready for the upcoming weather from your wife, because it will not be easy for her to forget.
How can you survive your husband's midlife crisis?
Be understanding as much as possible. People change in a life time and sometimes they change at different times in a marriage for one reason or another. Your spouse will come out of it sooner or later. You may want to seek counseling to help your through the process.

How can you handle your nosy sister-in-law?
- Only you can provide private information to your sister in law. If she persists knowing something you do not want to tell her then bluntly tell her that you would rather not discuss it. Tell her what you want too because generally nosy people will gossip about it and anything you want to be kept private do so. When anyone is persistant about something you do not want them to know you have a right to be blunt and to the point and do not worry about upsetting that person. Loose lips sink ships!

Is physical attraction and marital intimacy good enough to sustain a marriage without love?
…..There is no "magical" answer to this. All too often, couples are madly in love, but have to ask for advice to set their sexual life on track. Your problem is very complex in that it defies the idea of marriage. You simply can't be physically attracted, and not be in love with some one…..well, you can, but this makes for a very precarious situation in which one of you may be seeking the "missing" part of your lives with another person(s). I share common ground with your husband because I once found myself in the same situation. My wife worked and worked sacrificing my time with her as a result of this, and I found that I had more in common with another woman. I never had anything more than communication with this other woman, but the thoughts entered my mind to advance my relationship with her. It was at this moment, that I went home and told my wife I wasn't sure I sill loved her. The lines of communication opened with such a fervor, that we found that other than sex, we didn't have much else in common. Reluctantly, we ended our marriage and found out that we were better off. I dare to suspect that your physical relationship with your husband is in your mind, safe and sure because you don't have to go through the regular rituals to meet and have casual sex with others. Your sexual "premise" has been set, and with all the bad things and in some cases, bad people that are out there, you feel that sex with each other is the safest bet. Please don't mistake the latter as a relationship fixer. This could be the proverbial straw breaking the camel's back in your marriage. He may have already found the more compatible person, or, he may want you to open up to him and see if there is a chance to salvage what you two have.
You think your wife is hiding something so how do you get her to tell you the truth?
ANSWER:
This is the time that you need to make more time so your wife can trust you again. Why do you think she might be keeping a secret from you, pardon me but did you ever think of her even make time on a weekend just to be with her? When was the last time you made her feel so important that all you can see is a wonderful smile from her face. Gosh! wake up the only way you will know if she's keeping a secret is to treat her as your best friend, lover, and a wife, then maybe if its not to late she will reconnect with you. This is my only opinion, if people here will flag this because of my answer, shame on you guys!! merci!!
No. There would be no common law marriage even if allowed by state law. Generally, in all states of the US and most provinces of Canada, if one party is legally married they cannot establish a common law marriage with another spouse even if common law marriage is recognized by the state. Once a person is legally married they cannot marry again until their marriage is dissolved legally by a divorce.
The Canadian Province of Saskatchewan is the only jurisdiction in the Western World that allows an individual to form a common law marriage while married civilly to another person. It is assumed Saskatchewan also allows civilly married people to remarry without a legal divorce.
How do you stay married after your husband or wife has had an affair?
Time is what it will take. When someone has broken that bond of trust it's tough to get it back (if ever.) Communication is so very important (especially the second time around) and both of you need to spend some quality of time together and also touch base at least one hour in the evening. Talk about anything, or, if there are problems in your relationship and then learn to take each other's opinions and come to an amicable agreement. In time, if your husband is being a good boy, then you will learn to trust again, but, sorry to say your guard will never be down. No one likes to be made a fool of twice by the same person.
What does is mean when your girlfriend just ignores you?
It can mean that the girl likes you but doesn't want to make a fool of herself, so tries to ignore/stay away from you to avoid that happening....
Just ask her straight out why she is avoiding you
Good Luck! x
