Husband leaving for work and taking 3 friends is it fair to charge them gas money?

My husbands job is requiring him to go out of state to work for a month or two.Some of his friends asked him if they can go with him cause they all are going to the same place. My husbands job is giving him a extra check for gas money and food since he is taking his truck. Is it fair to charge gas money on the friends going with him too...They can take their own car but they have no license..Husband leaving for work and taking 3 friends is it fair to charge them gas money?
The word most are missing here is friends. You don't charge your friends gas money, especially since your husbands company is paying him gas money. Now if they are truly friends and appreciate the ride they will offer.Husband leaving for work and taking 3 friends is it fair to charge them gas money?
Yes, it is fair to charge gas money. His friends don't need to know the details of his arrangements with his employer and your husband is still doing the driving since his friends are not legally allowed to drive because they have no license.


Also, I think it's at your husbands discretion to give them a ride or not. Unless the truck is his, as in genuine ownership- not a truck that is assigned to him by the company (in which case, he wouldn't be authorized to have any passengers unless cleared by the company) it's very much his call. I would think the friends may realize that for him driving them such large distances, that a thank you amount is ok because drivers need coffee and a sandwich here and there. Your husband will still be driving them around and drop them off at their destination and he'll be doing it on company time.


Again, your husband knows better what he wishes to do.
yes it is more than fair to charge for gas money. I wonder why the company is not providing transportation for the friends that do not have a drivers license ? I would guess the company has made arrangements for all, also in the form of a check. Your husband does deserve to charge for passengers. I know that I would. And remember the friends will also need transportation while @ their new job location.
Yes it is because if they were each taking their own vehicles they would have to pay for gas. Today it's to expensive to let people ride for free, whether it be friends or family.


Even if it's 10 bucks each it will help with the gas cost. And they can't understand it then their not good friends.
I wouldn't ';charge'; them, since they are friends. If they offer to pay, or buy him food along the way, or whatever, then that's great.
There is nothing wrong in it, getting benefited out of the situation.

What are some tips for handling my husband post deployment?

My fiance has spent the past 8 months in Afghanistan and I am worried about how things are going to go when he gets home. This was his first deployment and I can already tell a difference in him over the phone. What are some signs I should be looking for in his behavior and what are some tips for me on how to deal with him being home? What is he going to be feeling when he gets home? Any advise or stories will be appreciated thanks. What are some tips for handling my husband post deployment?
Talk to the base chaplain.... they should be able to help you out.





talk with other wives whose husbands have come back.... ask them, what worked, what didn't, and what to avoid.What are some tips for handling my husband post deployment?
Ive somewhat been through this situation before when my bf left to Iraq and came back 9 months later (he was in the Navy serving with the Marines).


Some things you should look for are 1) withdrawal 2) attitude change.





When my bf came back, I was totally unprepared for how our we would act towards each other. First, when he comes back its almost like you have to get reacquainted all over again. You have to understand that he probably saw a lot of things while he was gone and that being away from normal life for so long has an affect. It takes time for him to adjust again. In can be excruciatingly awkward at first and for the first few days or weeks. Give him some space. Dont immediately talk about serious things that can wait for later. He just wants to adjust and get used to being back home.


When my bf came back, I spent a week with him in San Diego and it was one of the most miserable times Ive spent with him. His attitude came as a total surprise...since we talked on the phone the whole time he was gone and he always seemed happy to talk to me. Its different once they are back home. He was withdrawn, didnt speak alot to me, and at times was aggressive (verbally and to a certain extent physically). I would say that I was unprepared for the way he was...actual wives get a better understanding of all this because the military provides them a class where they can learn what to expect after a deployment.





Just be understanding, give him space, and hopefully this will show him you are there for him.
I think you should mind these thoughts, but most importantly I would support him and love him. I am sure that he is thinking the same. He has been out fighting for freedom and oil and greed. These things he knows. It may make him feel bitter. He may feel under appreciated. He will want to know that you are proud of him. That you still love him and support him. Give it your best and try your best. Be sensitive and patient.
dont question him about what he seen .. wait on him to open up. !


and notice that they will be diff. they learn respect and stuff there. there is no telling what hes been through. my husband comes home in feb from third deployment everytime he comes home something changes. its part of the military life!
There should be resources available through Navy Relief.


(Yes, Marines are Dept. of the Navy whether they like it or not)

Can creditors seize the computer which my husband paid for using his supplemtary card?

I am the main card holder.


Thanks.Can creditors seize the computer which my husband paid for using his supplemtary card?
They may be entitled to take the computer, but they are NOT entitled to the intellectual property on it. Personal security matters are in some ways private, and you could have the cure for cancer on their for all they know, and that would be worth several billion. There are a lot of little caveats.





If they say they are taking the computer. You can say, that is fine, but not until after you erase all data from it. Consult with your lawyer for the fine details.Can creditors seize the computer which my husband paid for using his supplemtary card?
I suggest you consult a B/R attorney for advise..On Y/A you will get an opinion and you need the interpretation of the law not an opinion .. Good luck
Please google bankruptcy laws in your state. You will get the correct information and hopefully put your mind at ease. Good luck!
of course

Where to get help for finding my husband a music teaching position?

Hi all, We currently live in Germany but I can't handle the climate here. Thus I am on my way back to the US. My problem is my husband is a preparatory music teacher, he teaches piano and classical guitar. We are initially going to relocate to the Flagstaff Arizona area. Can someone/anyone anybody, please, please, please give me suggestions or tips for an headhunter/employment agency that could look for him a job. I just spent about 5 hours trying to post his resume on yahoo jobs but the thing would not let me correct anything. Please help I am desperate. Thanks so much.Where to get help for finding my husband a music teaching position?
Try his University placement office.


Select multiple school districts and apply.


If nothing else, sign up with some local music stores to teach - they are always handling out cards and giving lessons there in the stores.Where to get help for finding my husband a music teaching position?
This is not easy.


Your husband has a very limited and specific job field.


It is VERY common for people to have 2-3 completely different careers now. You might have to diversify in the job field by a lot. Meanwhile, stay in the local music scene. He might be able to find a paying job in that field later on but you can't expect to find a music position when schools are cutting that out of the ciriculum now.





Best of luck! :0)
There are some website out there that advertise for teachers. Another option is to figure out what area you would like to live, research about the school districts in that area and then start watching their job openings. Good Luck!

    How do I file taxes for my husband if he did not work last year and did not have any reportable income?

    He was able to take a year off, and work on the house. So I am not sure if I need to claim him somehow or if he needs to file anything at all.How do I file taxes for my husband if he did not work last year and did not have any reportable income?
    He is a spouse with no income, nothing unusual. File a joint return with him, to take advantage of the increased standard deduction, plus his exemption.How do I file taxes for my husband if he did not work last year and did not have any reportable income?
    He may be considered a dependant for that year. Be sure to ask your tax preparer. Under certain circumstances if you make more money than the other adult in the home they can be claimed as a dependant.
    File as normal and take advantage of the tax breaks.

    What is some good ways for my husband to bond with our new baby?

    I'm only 23 weeks along, but my hubby has started worrying that he won't be able to bond with our son when he arives. He is worried that all he will do is cry for me when he holds him. How do I aliviate his fears and How does he bond with our new baby?What is some good ways for my husband to bond with our new baby?
    Bond by doing. If he takes an active role in parenting he wont have anything to worry about unless you are gestapo woman and dont allow him to do anything because he might do it differently than you. The easiest way to alleviate his fear? Give him a baby chore list....works everytime.What is some good ways for my husband to bond with our new baby?
    have your husband be an active participant along with you as soon as the baby is born. he can do absolutely everything that you can do except breastfeed. the baby will get to know him just as easily and as likely as he gets to know you so there is no reason for him to think that the baby will immediately start wanting you. in the beginning, when you are still recovering from childbirth it is a really good time for your husband to take the lead and let you sleep and take it easy as much as possible. let him initiate diaper chnages, and do diaper changes, let him burp the baby, let him feed the baby as much as you do if it is bottle fed. try not to take over or take the lead and just let him do it and he will know how and what to do right from the start just as well as you do. have him read some books on baby care and that way he can have a better idea of what to expect. don't let him sit on the side lines and let you do all the work and get all the bonding time in. it does get easier for him to not participate as much if he hasn't does it all along. make sure he is taking care of the baby right from the start!!! living with the baby and taking care of the baby is how bonding occurs. be sure to not have him wait until the baby is older, as an excuse. it doesn't work that way!!!
    A child will naturally bond with any caregiver that give them attention. Even the basics, cuddling, kisses, feeding, changing, etc.


    Society acts as if children need more than we have to offer, when all they really need and crave are the basics of life. All be it consuming, it is still just basic needs....food, clothing, love, etc. Anyone can give that if they choose to do so.


    Not to mention children will go through stages where the may prefer the comfort of one parent over the other, but as sure as the tides shift, that child will change their mind quickly...thats not unusual.
    Try to make the first interactions between father and child positive. The baby should be fed, clean, content, and so when the father holds him, he will feel good. At about 6 weeks when your son starts smiling, he will have your hubby wrapped around his little finger. I am 99.9% sure of this!
    the best way to bond with a newborn is to simply do little things like give the baby a bath. sing to in while you're changing it's diaper. and if the baby is crying, it's not because of him, it's because he needs something.





    tell him not to worry at all. =]
    All of his fears will go away when the baby gets here. He has to hold the baby right away. A lot of men, including my husband, are awkward with newborns. He had a lot more fun with our babies once the interacted with him. He should just hold the baby and talk to him as much as he can. Sometimes daddy will be able to comfort baby better them mommy because he may cradle him differently and he just wanted a change of scenary.
    Babies have a special bond with fathers too. Sometimes my husband is the only one who can calm my baby down. As long as he spends time with his baby, they wil have a bond.
    i know it sounds goofy but have him talk to your belly.....the baby will recognize his voice....if you're going to nurse the baby then have your husband give him baths and play with him.....if you're going straight to bottle feeding have your husband also do some of the feedings......all it comes down to is spending time with the baby....good luck
    well if your going to breastfeed it might be a little harder, but you could pump some milk and have your husband feed him. have your husband hold and cuddle and do some diaper changing. my husband did these things (except for feeding from a bottle as i exclusively breastfed) and they both have bonded fine, my husband would also bath our son.
    He will bond with the baby. I was just talking to my husband about the same issue. Our daughter is 4 years old and our son is 4 weeks old. I am amazed that my husband has a similar bond with our children with out having the 9 months to feel their every movement. My son cries more when have him than when my husband has him. My husband can get him to sleep so easily in his arms...I have to put him down for him to fall asleep.


    One thing we do is my husband does all the baths for our son...that is his time with our son. He gets final say on all clothes we got for our son, and I pump breast milk for my husband to feed my son (through a syringe at first...as the nurses when you baby arrives)...he will bond with your son just fine.
    You should start the process now, involve him in everything, if the baby kicks put his hand on your tummy so he can feel it.. after the baby is born make sure he is present for the dlelivery somedads dont want to be there.. but if they watch their child be born the bond is very strong..
    My husband had never even held a baby before I gave birth to our now 2 month old daughter. He was terrified, but he slid right into his role as daddy. He would get scared when she would cry and call for me to come and get her but that stage only lasted a couple of weeks. He is working his way up to number one dad now. I have even returned to work and he looks after her when I'm away if I don't take her with me.


    I don't think either of you should have a thing to worry about. The second you see your son for the first time things really do just fall into place. So stop worrying and enjoy this awesome experience!!!!!!
    Let the father help like changing diapers,if bottle feed let him feed the baby,let him hold him whenever and as often as the father wants,let the father put him to bed at night,let the father give the baby the bath,when the father is holding the baby and the baby starts to cry don't rush over to calm the baby let the father do it,let the father spend time alone with the baby.
    He should hold the baby while both of them are topless as much as possible, particularly the first 6 weeks. He should help burp and amuse the baby. And should make eye contact with the baby from 10-12 inches away the same as happens during breastfeeding.





    There is no reason to bottle feed for Dad do bond, much of breastfeeding bonding is from the skin to skin contact, and the optimal distance to mom's face. Neither of which is necessarily accomplished via bottle feeds.





    Also have him talk to your belly now to get baby used to his voice ;-) I don't know how much it will work, but it might make him feel better.





    If he is involved the baby will not cry for mommy, well not all the time.





    Take care of yourself and him. It's a big change
    let him be an equal partner from the start throw him right in don't correct him when he does it different then you as soon as the baby is born include him have him changing diapers,outfits and when you get home as soon as you can leave the two boys alone for the day-they can get to know each o0ther in a different way i work sat.'s only and ev ery sat. is daddy and son day(our son's 6 mo.)it's easier for a man to learn without mommy around hovering making sure he's doing right -every sat. i leave for work and come home they seem closer they have their own thing going and daddy is soo proud -tell your husband not to worry my husband was the same way but when you see your baby son you bond right away and alot of people say its easier for a guy to have a son because he doesn't feel so weird about changes and girl stuff..congrats!
    Truthfully, he probably will cry for you alot... not in the very begining (because he won't know the difference!) what once he starts being aware, he will want mama!





    It passes though, and soon enough he won't want anything to do with you when daddy gets home from work.





    But, to answer your question, daddy can give baths. This was great for my husband for about 3 weeks, and then he got bored and i ended up giving baths again.





    Co-sleeping has also been great bonding for my son and husband. They get to cuddle for 8 hours, it's really a great bonding experience for the whole family :)





    Other than that... sometimes you just have to hand the baby over and go take a nice long bath. You will be terrified at first, as will your husband. But, he will get over it and figure out his own ways of comforting and calming your child.





    Also, daddy is ussually the first to really ';play'; with baby. My husband had a goal to get our son to laugh and was constantly doing all sorts of silly things. He ended up laughing for the first time in the car-at nothing.. oh well!

    What is creative way to let your husband know your are expecting?

    I took 2 pregnancy tests this morning and they were both positive. We had started trying to get pregnant not too long ago. I am very excited. He had left to work when i took the tests, so I was alone finding out the results. What is a unique way to break the news to him?What is creative way to let your husband know your are expecting?
    Leave something sitting in sight that relates to a baby. A snork holding a bundle? Anything cute like that would get his attention. Does he have a certain place he keeps his keys, wallet, etc.? Leave a neat little item there for him to see.

Maybe he will ask what is with all the Baby items. Serve BBQ sauce in a bottle, Take a bath before supper and use baby smelling stuff. Maybe he will ask why you smell like a baby. Congrats %26amp; Good Luck!!

    hi hun... guess what your doing in nine months...

    How many of you would forgive your husband if he admitted to having had an affair?

    If not, how would you handle the divorce? Would you remain friends afterwards?How many of you would forgive your husband if he admitted to having had an affair?
    Ya know, that depends entirely on the circumstances. I'm not married, so I don't have any of these circumstances yet. But there's a couple questions I'd need to ask myself before I decided.





    -Do we have kids? If so, maybe it's worth it to *try* to forgive him and *maybe* salvage the marriage.


    -What were the circumstances of the affair? Was this a woman whom I was suspicious of and repeatedly asked about, and he repeatedly lied about, or is this a woman I knew nothing of? This matters because there's a difference between a lie of omission and and outright lie.


    -How old are we? (And, much to my chagrin...) How good do I look? In other words, is it ';too late'; for me to find a new man? If I'm old and unattractive, I'm more apt to try to forgive him because it's doubtful I'd find any other prospects.


    -WHY did he cheat? Contrary to what many people believe, people usually don't cheat because they're excessively horny or lustful. It's often because something about their existing relationship is unsatisfying, or because their partner has stopped fulfilling their needs so they've looked elsewhere. In other words, is there anything that *I* did, or failed to do, that caused this? (This doesn't excuse his behavior, but it's still worth taking into consideration).


    -Do we have hope for the future? Is it likely that he will cheat and lie again? If the relationship is hopeless and he's likely to cheat again, there's less reason to try to forgive him. If it's the opposite scenario, then it's maybe worth the effort to try to forgive him.





    Anyway, like I said, it depends on the circumstances. These are just a few of the many questions I'd need to answer.How many of you would forgive your husband if he admitted to having had an affair?
    I think I did forgive him, a couple of times, why I did it? Maybe it was because of my upbringing, catholic, death till you part, blah, blah, blah, I didn't want my kids growing up without their father, but in the end, he didn't really want to be a father, he's still not matured himself.





    Friends? No, we try to be civil, there's too much pain and anger in our history.
    I would not forgive my husband. When you get married you are suppose to be with that person only. I would probably be very bitter and not be friends after wards. I would just try my hardest to move on and find a better man. I know it would be extremely difficult situation though.
    i would get a divorce i we could never be anything but enemies
    I wouldn't and we wouldn't remain friends.
    not me
    yeah, been there done that. he had many. i knew but didn't care. i had one and he couldn't deal. go figure.





    wow! i'm so popular tonight...lol.
    Been there done that. Back a long time ago he said he had an affair with my best friend because he thought it would help our relationship. I didn't think there was anything wrong with our relationship. Then he said he wanted to get divorced and just live together. I said no, took my stuff and left.


    He wanted to be friends and we were sort of for a few monthes. But when the divorce lawyers get done with you, you seem to become more of enemies.


    That was 1975 and I would like to find out how his life has turned out since we have had no contact at all for about 30 years.
    I would forgive him but would not stay with him. I wouldn't treat him badly but I wouldn't consider him a friend.
    Really, it would really very much depend.





    A quick drunken fling one lonely night? I doubt that would be a deal breaker, and if it was, I think staying friends would be a real option.





    Years of planned deceit, with the same or a series of others that were carefully concealed? I'm out the door. And friendship? I prefer not to have friends who lie to and deceive me.





    Cheers :-)
    i really tried for 5yrs...i think i forgave him but could not ever forget. he was the only man i had ever been with..i finally left him and made a life for me and my children. he remarried then stated calling me...wanting me to go out with him. cheaters never change!!!!!
    I would not, and this did happen to me. I'm not sure if he had sex with her or not, but, frankly, I don't really care. What bothered me is that he lied. No matter what the situation is, I expect my sinificant other not to insult my intelligence by being dishonest with me.





    I divorced him, and left him everything, except my books, my clothes and my pc. He bought me out of the condo, but I helped him a lot before I left - organized his bills, made a list of them and put it on the fridge (I used to pay the bills), even found the best possible loan for him in order to keep the place. I handled the divorce myself so no lawyers involved. I just went to the law library and figured it out. It cost me $500 in court fees.





    We remained friends for a while but at some point he started blaming me for how his life turned out. You see, he bought a house, a BMW, a new van, and kept the condo. I did tell him it was too much, but he did not listen. He blamed me for bringning him here from Italy. So I stopped calling him, but I didn't fight with him.





    He send me a message this Christmas and my mom tells me he regrets what he did. I really don't care either way. Life goes on. I wish him the best of luck.
    Not me. Only way TO handle a divorce, through an attorney. No, why on earth would we be friends after something like that? That's just stupid.
    It would depend upon the quality of our relationship as a whole. I would pretty much treat him like he treats me..unless he is really hateful and mean..and then I would clean him out! I would always smile when I saw him afterwards...and wave..on my way to the bank.
    well im not married and never will be but no if u cheat on me its over
    well, atleast he was truthful. i might not forgive him, and i would probably not be friends with him afterwards. marriage is a vow of trust, not deciet.
    If we had children, I might give him a second chance..


    Otherwise, NO NO NO.





    Would I remain friends with him? Maybe, probably not.





    If he doesn't even give a crap about me enough to at least stay loyal to me, then he isn't fit to be a friend, either.
    I think the deceit around an issue into which a great deal of trust has been placed is what is hard to forgive.





    It is a shame that it is so often associated with fidelity.





    People work under horrific conditions for abusive bosses to receive a pittance in pay. And our spouses accept this as normal despite the agony, disrespect and loss of dreams and hopes.





    And yet when a partner finds a new love, and is joyful, fulfilled, loving and probably only spends a few hours a week doing it, and is usually more affectionate to their partner - its condemned.





    The truth for me is that the deceit is whats hard to forgive, but then I have never married, and don't believe in marriage as an institution.





    Affairs are only affairs because they break a trust and a promise. And that is what is hard to forgive.
    Never. I take a zero-tolerance position on infidelity. If he's already sick of me, he can get the divorce and THEN sleep with her.
    i think i will not forgive...will ya?
    I would have a hard time just simply ';forgiving'; an unfaithful spouse. Admitting they did a wrong is good, but come on, moving on like they didn't do anything could make them think they could get away with it in the future.





    I would separate for a while, until things cool off, at least, then see where I would feel emotionally. Personally, I would not want to get back together with this man. It wouldn't make me comfortable, after he intentionally put me through such distress. I couldn't imagine just saying ';It is what it is.'; (to use the newly ';banned'; word), or ';He made a mistake, and I can learn to cope.'; Because, this is NOT my fault. If there were kids in the situation, I would explain to them WHY there is separation, so they wouldn't be left in the dark, especially if divorce seemed like an option I was leaning towards.





    Rather than forgiving him, and forgetting his mistake and that anything bad ever happened, I would forgive his mistake and that anything bad ever happened, and forget HIM.
    Being the species of animal we are, I think it is pretty unreasonable to expect to stay hitched to someone for maybe 50 years and not have either party stray a little.





    A marriage is not just about the exclusive sexual right over someone it is also about kids, companionship, mortgages, mowing the lawn and the thousands of other little things that make up our daily existence.





    So, assuming my partner was treating my right in other ways I would forgive him if his penis led him astray on occasion.

    Husband is in Air Force basic training, as his dependents when do they usually start seeing a paycheck?

    Does it come after two weeks of basic or we have to wait much later?Husband is in Air Force basic training, as his dependents when do they usually start seeing a paycheck?
    It can take up to 8 weeks before the first pay is deposited into whatever account he has set it up with. It will be backdated to the date he started. He will receive Basic Pay, BAH (Housing Allowance - based on your zip code currently) and Family Separation Pay. The pay days are the 15th and the 1st. If he just started in November then do not expect the first pay until the 15th of December, but more likely to be Jan 1st. If he has the right information for deposit then it isn't a problem. If he is missing something (ie routing number) then he will be required to set up a new account at a new bank and you will not have access to the money until you receive the ATM card in the mail or the end of Basic.





    Remember he still does have deductions on his pay so it will be Federal Taxes, State Taxes, Medicare, Social Security. Then there is the SGLI (life insurance $27 a month), FSGLI (up to $7 for spouse), GI Bill ($100 for first 12 months in military), AFRH, advance pay (Up to $300 for necessities. So the deposit might not be the highest out there.





    Edited to add: Contrary to what other people say he will NOT get BAS while in Basic, all his meals are provided for him there so he does not need BAS. When he does schooling or his first command he will. If he eats in the Mess and uses his Meal card then that amount will be deducted from teh BAS. The BAS is a food allowance of $293 to provide food for the AD member only, not their families.Husband is in Air Force basic training, as his dependents when do they usually start seeing a paycheck?
    The money goes into the bank acct. that your husband has set up his direct deposit to go into.





    When I was in basic, I got my first check exactly 2 weeks later. I ended up getting 3 checks in basic, so you don't really have to wait 6-8 weeks like it's been said on this board.





    You're husband will get the BAS, Separation Pay and all that jazz. Just understand that his first check will be very minimal. the AF loans trainees $300 to buy the necessities needed for basic, and that's taken out of the first paycheck.





    Hope that answers your question. I understand how it is if you are a housewife and is depending on his income to run the family.
    Aquarius B's answer was right on.


    He got his pay on the 2nd pay persiod after he began. So the 1st pay period he got nothing (the 1st of the month) but on the 15th he got a very small pay.


    My husbands pay was less at first because of the advance they get to begin basic. I dont know why people are saying YOU will not see any of it. He is your husband therefore its both of ya'lls money not just his.
    YOU see nothing. HE will get paid anywhere from 6-8 weeks after he reports. Minimum turnaround is 4 weeks, and that's if everything got entered immediately and the cut off date was reached.( the 20th of the Month to get paid the 1st of the next month). .
    it can take up to a month possibly longer.........





    and since he is in basic - he usually dosent see the check it all depends on when he went in and how they process the paperwork and everything else...
    We are navy and it took us about 2 weeks. You can check out HeartsOfOurTroops.com and ask other Aif Force girls who may know better then I!! Good Luck!!

    I am looking for the helicopter my husband flew in the US Army.?

    Where do I go to see what happend to his old helicopter. The serial # was 70-20762. It would be nice to know where it is now.I am looking for the helicopter my husband flew in the US Army.?
    Are you sure it wasn't serial number 71-20762? This would have been a Bell OH-58A Kiowa, the military version of the Bell 206A Jet Ranger. According to the FAA registry it is owned by a private individual in Charleston, South Carolina, and registered as N7514J, but it is not currently licensed and flying.

    Husband washed cream shirt with dark blue pants. How do i get the blue out of my shirt?

    Im currently soaking the shirt in oxy clean...any other suggestions?Husband washed cream shirt with dark blue pants. How do i get the blue out of my shirt?
    that will work great.. i love oxy cleanHusband washed cream shirt with dark blue pants. How do i get the blue out of my shirt?
    try oxyclean if it doesn't work a little bleach in the water should
    Tell your husband you can't get the blue color out.





    Then, take some money from his wallet and purchase a new replacement shirt.
    If that doesn't work you could try washing with bleach - Good luck
    Rit makes a decolorizer you can use in the wash. You can find it at any grocery store.





    Good luck.
    I think it depends on the severity of the damage. Try repeated washings with tide or gain and oxyclean.

    What are my legal rights if my husband keeps opening my mail that is only addressed to me?

    Nothing to hide but it is annoying especially when he puts my mail on piles of junk mail or newspapers and then I don't find it for days or even weeks. It has not helped to ask him to stop. We have been married for 17 years and I am sick of this habit. I may or may not want to take legal action. I may just want him to know that I know what my rights are and what my options are if I choose to make him stop opening my mail.What are my legal rights if my husband keeps opening my mail that is only addressed to me?
    your legal option is divorce


    it would seem if you ask things of him and he just ignores you then there may be other issuesWhat are my legal rights if my husband keeps opening my mail that is only addressed to me?
    You could file a complaint with th post master general, but just getting a P O box and changing your mailing address would be a lot easier.

    A good Dinner to make for my husband?

    Does anyone know any really good recipes. Like Italian or chinese. Something very delicious to make for my husband. Something that you have tried and liked very much. Please dont copy and paste anything. Thank you.A good Dinner to make for my husband?
    Chicken Fried Rice.


    Chicken Chow Mien.





    You could use anything other than chicken fish is good, or a curry.A good Dinner to make for my husband?
    This is a great go-to recipe that you will count on over and over again.





    Chicken Piccata





    1-1/2 pounds boneless chicken (1/4-1/2 inch thick)


    Salt and pepper to taste


    3 tablespoons flour


    3 tablespoons butter


    1 tablespoon olive oil


    1/2 pound mushrooms


    2 tablespoons lemon juice


    1/2 cup dry white wine


    2 teaspoons capers


    3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley


    1/2 lemon thinly sliced





    Freeze chicken slightly to cut thin. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and dust with flour. Heat butter and oil in skillet and brown chicken. Remove from pan and cover to keep warm.





    Add garlic and mushrooms to skillet and cook 1 minute. Add lemon juice and wine and then return chicken to the pan. Cover and simmer 20 minutes then add capers. Top with parsley and lemon slices and serve on a bed of linguini.





    This is one of my favorite dinners served with Dilled Carrots (recipe can be found at link below)
    Hello,





    Not to long ago I did a little spin on a great Italian recipe ';Stuffed Shells';. I decided to add Sausage to the recipe to make it a bit more filling and it turned out great. You can check out the recipe at my site with pictures and everything.





    http://www.averagejoecooking.com/sausage…
    Pesto chicken I make this all the time.


    You need basil 2 bunches will do for two, garlic 2 cloves, evoo 2 to 3 tablespoons, Parmesan 1/4 of a cup, and roasted pine nuts I use a handful salt and pepper to taste.


    Blend all in a food processor or (with a hand held food processor I use one made by braun you can get one at walmart for about twelve bucks) blend into a paste.





    Grill two boneless chicken breasts and cut into strips.


    cook enough pasta for two and drain then add back to the same pot with the pesto. Add chicken and heat till hot.


    Serve with more cheese and your favorite bread.





    If it seems to dry you can add some more oil to the pot while heating. This is a meal that makes your whole house smell wonderful.
    something really easy is chinese, it's just stuff you throw together:





    for sweet and sour chicken, get some of the Tyson honey battered chicken nugget things, and a couple jars of sweet and sour sauce (hop sing brand is the best i found so far). white rice with chicken boullian (sp?) in the water.





    for 'crab-less' rangoon, won ton wrappers; smaller, cream cheese, lemon pepper, garlic powder, red pepper and bacon bits. all the spices are to taste. kind of soften the cream cheese and stir the other ingredients together and put about a spoonful inside the wrappers, freeze what you have, for at least an hour and then deep fry until golden. the freezing keeps the middles in check.





    my husband loves it! but my husband isn't very picky. i doubt it will work for a picky eater...but it is an idea, though.
    A really good and simple stir fry:





    three boneless pork chops (about half a pound) slightly frozen


    cut into small strips or cubes


    put in a bag with about half a cup of soy sauce, and a pinch of ginger, let marinate for two hours.





    Chop and line up on a tray in this order:


    half an onion, thinly sliced in half rings


    half a pepper, cut in long thin slices


    thinly sliced carrots (however many you want)


    a handful of broccoli florets


    a handful of cauliflower florets


    a handful of bean sprouts


    a handful of sliced mushrooms (shittake are good for this)


    two handfuls of finely chopped cauliflower (not coleslaw mix)





    in a wok heat about three tablespoons of oil and brown drained meat and onions, add each ingredient waiting a moment between each, finishing with the cabbage, stir for about three minutes, then cover and steam for a moment. Everything should be crisp-tender. Use any vegetable you like. Squashes are great too, but some people don't like them. Serve with rice and fruit, and some rich dessert!
    I make something called stuffed shells- my hubby LOVES them!





    I boil large shells- pasta aisle- till done, and drain completely. Dry as much as possible, and let them cool.





    While that is going on, I mix





    1 tub ricotta cheese


    3/4 c. shredded mozarella cheese


    2/3 c. parm. cheese- grated(in the shaker) OR shredded- I use a mixture of both


    1/3 c. Bread crumbs


    1 egg


    2-3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream/milk





    Mix all this with your hands or if you have a stand-up mixer, a paddle. The mixture should be doughy, not any liquid at all. If it looks to lookse, add a bit more bread crumbs, or a bit of heavy whipping cream or milk is too stiff.





    Once that is done, put the filling in the boiled and cooled shells and pour your fav sauce over them in a pan- a red sauce is good, but my fav is a tomato-alfredo sauce. Bake this, with foil on it, for 30-45 minutes.





    I make this with a chicken cesar salad and garlic bread. it's yummy and easy to make! And the hubby loves it!!!
    This baked ziti always goes over well. My stepdaughter first made from the recipe on the box of ziti, and we have modified it slightly. But, you need a good sauce (but then, don't we always need a good sauce)





    Baked Ziti





    1 T Olive Oil


    ½ lb. lean ground beef


    1 Cup chopped onion


    2 garlic cloves, minced


    26-30 ounces jarred marinara sauce (prefer home made)


    1 8 ounce can tomato sauce


    1 tsp dried oregano


    16 ounces Ziti – cooked 8 minutes and drained


    15 ounces ricotta cheese


    2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided


    ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese





    In a large skillet heat oil over medium high heat, add beef, onion and garlic. Cook 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in spaghetti sauce, tomato sauce, and oregano. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat.





    Combine 1 cup sauce mixture with the ziti. Spoon half of the ziti mixture into a sprayed 9 x 13x 2 casserole dish; top with all the ricotta, 1 cup mozzarella, 1 cup sauce, remaining ziti mixture and remaining sauce.





    Cover and bake @ 350 for 20 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup mozzarella and the Parmesan. Bake uncovered 20 minutes longer or until heated through.
    If he likes Chinese, I marinade a nice london broil overnight with light soy sauce and onions. I serve with caramelized onions on top and fettuccine Alfredo and a salad with blue cheese dressing and home made biscuits. It is really easy, but it tastes good. A little Chinese flavor and Italian as well.
    Chicken parmesan (http://southernfood.about.com/od/chicken… and garlic bread. Sizzling chicken and cheese (http://www.cdkitchen.com/recipes/recs/28… not italian or chinese but GREAT!
    Try this-


    1lb Sea bass fillet marinaded in 2 tbsp white miso paste and 1/4 cup sake overnight then sprinkle with fresh grated ginger before throwing it on the grill for about 20 mins on med high turning once after 8 mins.


    Serve with mushroom risotto
    Try some Pork Chop. Lipton Knorr Sesame Chicken Rice. and California Blend vegetables. For dessert, try homemade Banana Pudding baked in the oven.

    Can IRS take my refund if my husband owes money for a school loan?

    My husband has not able to work for some time. I would like to claim him this year but he thinks they might be able to take my refund because he owes a large amount for a school loan.Can IRS take my refund if my husband owes money for a school loan?
    So far all bad answers.





    1. Yes, you can file MFJ as opposed to MFS. You've always had this choice whether he was working or not.





    2. Yes, the default is that if he is in arrears, the IRS will send any refund to the debt.





    3. You as the one who DOESN'T OWE the loan is considered ';injured'; (not innocent as some posts keep claiming) and can file a form 8379 requesting that your ';share'; of the refund be sent to you anyway.





    4. If you are in a community property state, you may only get half of the refund.Can IRS take my refund if my husband owes money for a school loan?
    you can file an innocent spouse form - that would protect half of your refund
    If it is your husband you should have been ';claiming him'; every year by filing a joint return. You do have the option of filing ';injured spouse'; and possibly claiming any of the refund that was attributed to your income.
    If the loan is in default, then they can.
    yes, few years back they took mine (but not everything). the reason i never pay my student loan..... so now i learn my lesson its better to apply for financial hardship so the IRS won't offset my refund...lol

  • How can I find out if my husband really has duty this weekend?

    He lives in another state. I have reason to doubt anything that he says now. I don't even know if it is true that he has be in the barracks at 9:00 each night. He is in school--2nd part. He is stationed in the Navy in Illinois.How can I find out if my husband really has duty this weekend?
    He is in A school, yes it can be necessary that he is in barracks by 9 pm, yes it can be necessary that he has watch, yes it could have been possible that liberty on weekends has been stopped because some idiot fouled up. If you doubt him now when he is in school what are you going to do when he at his permanent command and deploys?How can I find out if my husband really has duty this weekend?
    Well you really cant unless you have a copy of the duty roster, What kind of duty are we talking about barracks duty or what?





    Also I hate to say it but if I was on duty and a wife called me wanting to know about her husband if we are not at work then im not a baby sitter he is a grown man and makes his own choices.


    If you doubt him call him on it
    Well if he is in School...then he is required to be


    in his Barracks by 9:00PM (21:00Hrs) every night...





    If you don't trust him suggest you get a Divorce...


    I think you are doing what you think he is doing...


    which has proven to be the case most times.





    As another poster said...


    There is a lot more here than what is being stated...
    being in A or C school yes he could be under a curfew especially if he or his classmates got in trouble.. failing a test, somebody being stupid and getting caught drinking.. remember a few months ago when that kid DIED from a drug overdose up there?
    If you have reason to doubt him, phone his base. The duty officer is the man you need to speak to. If you explain all, I'm sure he will help you.
    If he is in 'A' school, you could easily find out by calling the duty office of his particular training group. As a trainee, his life is still pretty well regulated.
    What difference does it make ?





    If your asking in here, the trust in your relationship is gone.





    So face the facts, that your marriage is gone.
    If he is still sending home a paycheck then either shut up or leave him. Calling his COC will only cause problems. If you doubt him then maybe you shouldn't be married anymore.
    find out what school he is in, and call an official. No military school official will lie to a concerned wife for a student.
    If he's in a school, there's a very high chance his free time and ability to go out are extremely limited.
    If you can't trust his then there probably is a bigger problem here.
    HE'S CHEATING ON YOU.





    I WOUDLN'T WORRY ABOUT IT THOUGH.
    I would call the place where he is on duty and ask to talk with him or something. If they say he's not there, well then you know something's up

    What us army officer branches should my husband consider?

    My husband is 29 and trying to make the final decision on what officer branches to consider. He got his degree in Liberal arts (theater) and has been doing corporate mngmnt for 6 yrs. The recruiter told him to make a wishlist for what branches he might be interested in. He also said in the end it makes no difference what you want to do if you are an officer. They look at your degree and past experience and just put you wherever. Are there any areas he would be more qualified for?What us army officer branches should my husband consider?
    Taking into account your husband's degree and work background, he might want to check:


    Public Affairs


    Systems Automation


    Personnel Programs Management


    Contracting and Industrial ManagementWhat us army officer branches should my husband consider?
    with that background, there is no telling. If he wants to ba a front-line combat arms officer, then the first 5 slots on his wish list should look something like this:





    Infantry, Cavalry, Armor, Artillery, Air defense Artillery





    If he does that, they will probably give him infantry, cavalry, or armor, and maybe artillery or ADA.





    If he doesn't want a combat arms branch, then he should put a bunch of non-combat arms branches in his wish list. Certainly he would not want to put infantry, cavalry, or armor on there if he did not want to be on the front line.
    Infantry, Armor, Field Artillery.





    Gotta find a way to man up that theater degree.
    FA. it is the best
    Infantry.
    If he picks Intel, he'll work a desk.

    What are tips that can help my husband and I conceive a child?

    My husband and I have been trying to conceive for 9 months now. I don't suspect there should be any problems conceiving, however neither of us have been to the doctor to get checked. We plan on trying for a year and if we still have no luck we will get our fertility checked. I was wondering in the mean time for those of you who have been to the doctor, what have they said to do to increase your chance of conceiving? Are there any tips out there that worked great for you? I'd also like to hear success stories...Thanks so much!What are tips that can help my husband and I conceive a child?
    There is a book called ';Taking Charge of Your Fertility'; by Toni Welcher. She says that if you follow the plan in the book and you are a normal healthy couple then you should conceive in-at most-4-6 cycles. She actually says it should take less than that assuming everything is alright. This book is great! I highly recommend it.What are tips that can help my husband and I conceive a child?
    Don't stress yourselves out over it make sure that sex is enjoyable and relax and take time to focus on each other..... What I am trying to say it make sure it does not become a chore and you are doing it just for a baby. I tried for 2 years to get pregnant there were no problems with either of us but it just was not happening and then out of no where I was pregnant. Less than 4 months after my daughter was born I was pregnant again lol (13 months apart)! I wish you all the luck!
    Just count 12 days from the start of your cycle and have sex on days 12 14 16 18 20. Do it where he is the deepest and when your finished lay on your back with hips raised. (pillow under hips) Lay for about 20 minutes this way and then go to sleep. Stop stressing so much that will help you so much.

    How would I go about visiting my husband who is stationed at Guantanamo Bay?

    My husband is stationed with the Army in Guantanamo Bay. He says there is a way for us to fly down from Jacksonville to visit him, but I can't really find any good info on it. How would I find out if I can even visit and if so, how do I get there???How would I go about visiting my husband who is stationed at Guantanamo Bay?
    He's going to have to get entry approval for you. There should be an MWR flight from NAS Jacksonville down there, but you won't get on it without the entry approval message in your hands.How would I go about visiting my husband who is stationed at Guantanamo Bay?

    How is a woman who takes her husband for everything in a divorce any better than a prostitute?

    Actually I have more respect for the prostitute. At least she's up front with what she's after. She'll tell you exactly what you're getting and exactly what it will cost you. She actually provides you a service for your money, not just take and take from you and give you nothing in return. And when you're done you pay her and never see her again. She doesn't keep coming after you again and again demanding more money.How is a woman who takes her husband for everything in a divorce any better than a prostitute?
    She's worse than the prostitute....Prostitutes don't hide what they are. Oh you already said that....Well you just stated my case for me :-).





    Wives are supposed to be trusted, they're supposed to be your friend, not your enemy%26lt;-- Is it any wonder why none of us get married anymore??How is a woman who takes her husband for everything in a divorce any better than a prostitute?
    A prostitute is more likely to have done it with everything that moved-and keep doing it. Usually, ex-wives don't have as much time to do it all the time. From some indications, when ex-husbands complain about their ex-wives, its because the woman never wanted to have sex-well, never wanted to have sex with them anyway. Prostitutes aren't as choosy. You can be an ugly, filty, stupid piece of crud and you may find a prostitute desperate enough to do you. Seems ex-wives aren't as desperate.
    Well, it is the courts, surely, who decide how much money a woman is entitled to in a divorce settlement? It isn't a private arrangement as between prostitute and client.





    if you think the amount of money a woman receives when she gets divorced is unfair, why don't you campaign for the laws to be changed or something?
    lol...sounds like bitter, sour grapes here....she isn't like a prostitute - she has probably worked just as hard to build a home as the man...just sometimes, women have to take time out to child care for a while.





    she is entitled to half of everything...just like if the woman is wealthier...the man would get half. fairs fair!!
    I know there are women that do that but surely the majority of marriages are based on love.





    If I fell in love and got married I wouldn't want to hurt that person or leave them with nothing if the relationship ended. I believe in true love. I would go into the relationship with hope and trust and wanting it to work out. Of course if there were children they would need to be supported.

    As very few women get alimony unless the husband is very wealthy, the money these men are paying ';again and again'; is for the support of their children not their ex wife.
    they are all prostitutes - the wife ones are just WAY better at it than the


    ';professional'; hookers





    if they arent whores - then they are feminists who hate men but want the power of men and to be like us
    She isn't better than a prostitute.





    She is a better prostitute.
    By entering into a marriage both parties agree that everything they own is split down the middle so what is theirs is *theirs* - not *his*
    The person who serves us with heart is always better whether she/he has done this professionally. If the cunningness is there to any woman ,how can she be better.
    No difference.
    This is why I believe marriage is a joke.

    WEBER is the way to go. A true grilling aficionado would appreciate such thought and care! If your husband really loves to grill, then get a Weber kettle. If he likes to grill but doesn't want to take a lot of time and effort, then get him a gas grill.
    Get him a Fire and Ice Thermos Grill by Char-Broil is awesome I have one It have a grill and a cooler all together, u can take it anywhere too, super easy to clean.

    How do I find out if my husband is having an affair while on deployment?

    Is there a way to check this out without having to get people that I know involved? He is acting so strange and is due to come home shortly. It never would have crossed my mind at all with him, but I can't think of any other reason for this behavior.How do I find out if my husband is having an affair while on deployment?
    Here is the best answer: it doesn't matter.





    The only thing that matters is you don't trust him and you are having to live with this pain and fear, and if you don't trust him then you will always always feel this way, no matter what.





    I suggest talking with him after he settles in. Something really f***ked might have happened that is affecting how he's acting. Try to be selfless and see if he confides the truth to you.





    It may not be his fault that you feel this way, but if nothing he says or does makes you feel better about it after about a week or so, then move on. You can't be happy and distrustful at the same time.





    :) good luckHow do I find out if my husband is having an affair while on deployment?
    before he arrives home, have something installed on your computer that will keep track of every email he gets or sends, all of the sites he visited, every activity. men don't admit jack-so this is about the only way. btw--yes there are prostitutes in muslem countries even whore houses. J.B. is correct, and lots of female whores are in the military. We were military they're a bunch of dogs in heat.
    I can think of another reason....coming home is stressful...he does not know what you are going to be like...the stress of just readjusting...my son went through some stuff coming home...he is single but still stressed out....my other son is married and he and his wife went through the same thing...and maybe that is why you are thinking the way you are...I don't think there is anyway to ';search'; without involving someone who is there with him...but I think you need to take a deep breath talk to someone you are close to and relax...Good luck
    Hire a private eye. Pay one of his buds to snitch on him for you. Go to where he is deployed, dress in disguise, and watch his every move. If he is in a Muslim country, he's probably not cheating on you with a local, it would have to be someone out on deployment too. If they are whores, hes probably doing that over here in the states too. Men are dogs. Even the nicest ones will falter.
    dont get stressed or let it bother you right now , just enjoy his home coming and see what happens fro there , do not start letting him think you believe he was cheating , if he wasnt that will ruin his coming back home , if he was it will eventually come out
    Really no way to know for sure unless he confesses or you find indisputable and unexplainable proof, like photos or videos of him in the act.. You've probably got no way to prove it.
    What behavior do you mean? There isn't a way unless you ask him when he comes home.
    95% of deployed people knows where all the whore are..

    How long is the process for my husband to obtain his citizenship?

    Hes been here ever since he can remember. The only negative thing is that he came illegaly. I want to help him so that we can have a better financial future but how long is this process??How long is the process for my husband to obtain his citizenship?
    If your husband entered without a visa, you will need to prove hardship and do a I-601 wavier. Before you do anything rash like leaving the country consult a lawyer. If he falls under 245-i (consult a lawyer or search http://www.immigrate2us.net for what that is) he may not have to leave the country.Hopefully your husband is from Mexico because I-601 waivers from Mexico are not that difficult to obtain at the moment.





    You will need to go to http://www.immigrate2us.net for information on the your hardship letter and what evidence to provide, what lawyer to use, should you even sue a lawyer, etc. They are free and have higher sucess rates than most lawyers, so I definitely recommend checking them out.





    Good luck!How long is the process for my husband to obtain his citizenship?
    It isn't short. If he entered illegally many years ago, he cannot apply for permanent resident status inside the U.S. You can petition for him on Form I-130, but you will have to ask that it be sent to a U.S. visa office outside the U.S. (in his home country).





    As the result of his unlawful presence, his departure to get the visa outside the U.S. will trigger a ten-year bar. That's a long wait.





    He can apply for a waiver of that ten-year bar, but they do not approve 100% of those applications. It's a risk.





    So how long before he can be a citizen? Once he becomes a permanent resident, he can apply for citizenship three years later. That's short compared to how long it'll take him to be a permanent resident.
    It might be easier for you to move to his home country...My suggestion would be to contact an immigration lawyer, preferably one who doesn't advertised solely on bus stops. Do you really want to risk the future on advice you got from this board?

    How do I properly document my husband's behavior to use to file for divorce?

    I have not filed for divorce or spoken to an attorney yet, but plan to in the near future. I have been writing down the things he does/doesn't do in a notebook (verbal abuse toward my child and myself, refusal to pay bills, refusal to get treatment for anger management, etc.) to take to an attorney. Is there a proper (or better) way to document this so I can have proof of his actions?





    He does this at home, where there are no witnesses other than myself.





    I am in West Virginia.How do I properly document my husband's behavior to use to file for divorce?
    Being faced with similar in the past, I also kept notebook being sure to mark dates and brief details of incidents. You want to have a track record going to show he has a repeatable dark side to him that should not be exposed to you nor your child. You don't need to write down everything but enough over a period of time that shows this destructive side of him. It's hard to try and record someones rages. He needs help for his problem which is deep rooted but you best step aside as soon as you can for your child's sake and don't let him draw you back into a relationship again no matter what he promises.How do I properly document my husband's behavior to use to file for divorce?
    for now, keep a journal. Be as specific as possible when describing anything and give other information like what tv show you were watching at the time or other activity was taking place to help backup the credibility.





    When you speak to an attorney, they will tell you if it is even necessary to do it and how. so do not put that off if you are sure it is what you want to do. Or speak to your Pastor if you are not sure what you want to do.One or the other though. Divorce attorneys will never try to get you to reconcile and pastors will Never recommend that you get divorced.





    Apparently, he turned out to not be the guy you thought he was, Or you thought you could fix him and it turned out to be a harder job than you figured. Either way, I hate to see marriages fail, because you BOTH gave a ';forever'; promise! That is why I suggested Pastor. SOMEONE needs to remind this guy what He promised to you, and convince him that you intend to break the deal if he does not!
    dates times and as much details as possible. also, most divorce attorneys will give a free consultation, take them up on it so you know exactly what you need to be doing.
    Just an idea, maybe you can get one of those real small voice recorders that will start recording when sound is picked up, and hide it in the room somewhere.

  • How do you deal with a husband who lies and tells you everyone lies?

    He has told me my children and friends have said things about my personality and they are untrue. These things are said to hurt me and he thinks as a christian, I should just forgive.What do you think of a man who tells such horrible lies that are completely made up? My children and friends have never had conversations with him about any of the subjects period! I do not know of anyone else in my life who has made up such nasty things that others are to have said.How do you deal with a husband who lies and tells you everyone lies?
    It sounds as if your husband has a personality disorder. More specific ';narcissism';. They are known to be atrocious and habitual liars. They are passive aggressive and love to cause conflict for others.


    They want to control emotions in others, because they lack emotions for others. Do a little research on ';Personality Disorders'; - narcissist, bipolar, and many others. He may need therapy; however, narcissism is really difficult to treat. Therapist have a tough time trying to figure out when they are telling the truth. I am married to a narcissist and have one child with the traits. Neither, feels any remorse when caught in a lie. They play the blame game, it's always someone else's fault.


    Don't let this person destroy you, they get worse as they get older.


    Get out while you can.How do you deal with a husband who lies and tells you everyone lies?
    Think back, there must be a reason you married the guy, unless it was for the children or some other complicated reason. You don't want a guy like that in your life if it's the latter, and if it's the former, I suggest sitting down with him and talking with him. If he's completely unreasonable, try therapy, and if he refuses that, and the lying continues, I would seriously consider divorcing him.
    How does a christian think??? You mean like Cardinal Law?? The one that knew the priest were molesting those children and didn't say anything about it to anyone?? Don't use the word christian to try and think you or your husband is better then someone who isn't!!!!!!!! because that is just not true. I hate when people bring religion up in a subject where it doesn't belong!!!!!!! SO come down off your cross and get HUMAN!!!!!!!!!!! Your husband has problems with telling the truth. And I have to say I think you do too!!!!!!!!
    He is projecting his own weaknesses on others through making up things about you. Most reasonable people will judge you on your interaction with them and not on what someone else says about you. You are a great person and you know it..and the people who love you know it..and that is what is important
    Habitual lying is a form of mental abuse. How long are you going to put up with this? It will only get worse as time goes by. For your sake and the kids, you should consider escape. Believe me, I know all about this.





    You may email me - we can talk. Love D.
    I think he feels those negative things toward you and doesn't have the balls to own it, so he pushes it off on other people---and your children. He's an immature fool. Why are you married to such a person?
    Well, where there's smoke...there's fire. Most people who know you and are mature will know where the truth lies....other than that, not much can be done.
    If he didn't submit to a program of correction (i.e. counseling and accountability) I would divorce him. How can you ever know if he is telling you the truth about things that are even more important?
    I think lying is unacceptable and a bad character trait. If he just makes up stories, you'll never know what to believe. good luck
    D-I-V-O-R-C-E





    sounds like he is doing whatever he can to be sure you feel insecure about yourself ......maybe he's afraid you'll leave, and with good reason, who would treat someone they care about like that.
    damn sounds like ur husband is just trying to make u mad... dont worry and act like you dont care, and tell im nasty lies that will piss him off.
    don't bring Christianity into it if you are going to be negative would you say that if he was a muslem? no, Christians are aways up for ridicule.


    If he is making these stories up, get to the root of it, many times a lie has some element of truth to it. They might have agreed with him on some of the subjects %26amp; he exagerated it. Well, talk to him maybe he feels less important to you then they are.

    How to deal with a grown husband playing video games everyday for more than 5 hours?

    Do u just let them play for 5 hours?


    Do u just scream at them for them to stop?


    Do u just cry and begged them to stop playing?


    Do u just destroyed there video games?


    Do u just join them and watch them play for 5 hours?








    What would u do?How to deal with a grown husband playing video games everyday for more than 5 hours?
    Get a games console for yourself and keep busy. Or get dressed up and go out with your friends. He's doing his own thing, you should do your own thing then watch how he starts looking for u, and wondering why your not nagging him, and where u are and what your doing and how he starts nagging you to spend time with him. Lol





    5 hours is a bit much, if he still doesnt look out for you afterwards, then maybe you need to wonder why he isnt bothered about spending time with you.How to deal with a grown husband playing video games everyday for more than 5 hours?
    Apparently, he is trying to escape from something or just loves video games. I grew up with them and still love playing them(I'm 24). My wife doesn't mind me playing them but I am responsible about it. I usually play a little bit every couple of days after everything is taken care of. So I understand where guys come from that play video games. Although, 5 hours is way too long everyday especially when you have a wife and responsibilities. First step is to talk to him about it, tell him how you are feeling. Second step is if you have to make a schedule, tell him when he can play...make sure everything around the house is done. Also if you want to play you can. It will give you something to do together. You shouldn't allow this to continue and if he doesn't want to talk about it or cooporate then sadly give him an ultimatium.
    Is it so bad that it is affecting his time with you? Some people (myself inculded) really love playing video games, if he is still giving you time, treating you well, working, taking care of his duties then I don't see a problem. Maybe ask him to cut down a little, but don't try to take his games away from him like you are his mommy, it is what he enjoys. Maybe you should try playing games with him. I used to with my ex all the time, and we had a lot of fun.
    Did you bother to really get to know this guy before you married him? I am not trying to be mean but younger people seem so focused on looks and how cool someone comes across. I had certain rules before I dated a woman that I had intentions of marrying. One of those rules was, no smoking period and I did not care if she had the looks and body of Angelina Jolee. etc. etc. The point I am making is you must set standards for yourself and go from there, not mine or anyone else's standards but yours. By setting standards you can deal with this problem better.





    The bottom line is you married a child now he must either grow up or let him know you are going out to find a real man and if he does not budge from that game then you know your destiny.
    Personally I'd talk to him and let him know that 5 hours is a hell of a long time to play video games and that it bothers you. I know he loves his games, but there's a line that needs to be drawn and he needs to spend quality time with you too.





    I used to game a lot whilst living with my ex but after she moved country I realised how important that time would've been to us both.





    If he doesn't listen to you then he doesn't care enough, but I'd say just make him realise how you feel so things can change.





    Make him take you out or something, it'll take his mind off the games and he'll probably really enjoy himself with you!
    As a husband who also enjoys video games from time to time. I was once a 5hr a day kinda guy. what slowed me down was i just found new things to do with my time. I can definitely tell you that yelling and treating him like a child is not the answer that, only pissed me off and made me play more, because i felt like im a grown man and for someone to yell at me and tell me what i can or can't do just rubbed me the wrong way. If you have children encourage him to spend more time with them or even buy a NINTENDO Wii which is fun for the whole family, but ultimately he is going to have to take it upon himself to realize he is spending to much time with the video games, i would also say try and take a little interest in what he is doing as well even if you don't like it, it shows him your trying.(that's what my wife did). but like i said eventually i got bored with games
    First of all does he have a job? If so, then I would be glad it wasn't an addiction to drugs or alcohol... or other women ; ) A lot of men are couch potatoes so actually the difference between the two isn't really all that much. I am not defending his behavior because I know there is a real addiction to video games. I guess it comes down to what in your home is being neglected , if anything, and what you are willing to put up with. The choice is yours. If you aren't happy he needs to be willing to get help or deal with your consequences.
    ok from the guys standpoint games are addictive we like to play them they occupy our time when we are bored and are given nothing else to do once you get into a game you dont really want to put it down cause you want the satisfaction of beating it and the worst mistake u can make is getting rid of the games cause that would be like getting rid of your 500 prada purse (if u had 1) it might help to jump in every now and then to show him your ok with it i suggest guitar hero games try dance dance revolution its a great game to have fun with some 1 else dive in and try then he might be wiling to try some of your things that you would like to do but there is no cure for being a game addict and these ppl on here saying get rid of him cause he plays games is just wrong you love him thats why you married him you cant get it to stop but you can get it to slow down to maybe 3 hours or so but it will get better
    My husband plays a lot of video games. He's got weird hours at work, and I think he plays a lot during the day when I'm not home. He also plays in the evenings. Sometimes I sit with him and I play on my DS. Or I read, or watch tv. We have 2 tvs, one for video games, and the other one to watch at the same time. That way at least we get to spend time together when we are both too lazy to get up and do anything else. Sometimes I'll say Let's go for a walk! And he agrees. We have friends in this same position. They're all the same age (early 30s) and still addicted to these games. But there are worse things they could be doing, so I try not to sweat it too much. :)
    Your lucky it's only 5 hours. Really, I've done everything. I've talked to him, I've yelled at him, I've put a password on his computer, I've disconnected the power supply, I've cried, I've went off without him. But my hubby has a serious addiction to computers. Like he goes to it for all his 'emotional' needs (games, social contact, sex) My next step is to make him get counseling or I'll leave him.
    given your questions there i can see why he distracts himself with games...so what is he supposed to be doing for those 5 hours, showering you with his undivided attention? unless you have kids i dont see the problem here, he has a hobby perhaps you should find one as well...what would i do? i would get my own xbox and xbox live account and play my own games
    You tell him to choose to be a man or be a boy and play video games. I'll never understand women who choose boys that are addicted to video games - they will NOT change when you marry them. Tell him he needs to pick you or them and if he picks the games, by all means leave him!
    If he is neglecting things, then you should talk to him (not scream). If not, what's the harm. Everybody has hobbies and as long as they don't get in the way of your responsibilities, you should be able to do what you want as long as you aren't hurting anyone.
    Was this a habit before you got married? If so, other than being a typical woman, what made you think he was going to change his playing habits after saying ';I do.';?





    Sadly video games have become an addictive behavior just like alcohol or drugs.
    You should explain to him why you don't want him to, and if he wont stop after that I'd go with let them play but then you can just do whatever you want even if he doesn't like it cause he didn't care about your feelings on that.
    if it was bothering me that much i would go out make new friends or find a hobby to do for five hrs, if you try to stop them than your a control freak.. so mine as well make the best of it..
    Get into some nice lingerie and try to distract him. If it doesn't work, tell him how you feel. If that doesn't work, smash the x-box.





    You're probably about 15, but okay.
    Just start trying to play with him and enjoy it! ^__^ Maybe when you got together with some hobby he pratices, you'll get even more closer! ^__^
    When he wants nookie do something else, like reading, everytime he wants nookie.
    No idea how to deal with it but if you find the answer could you please let me know. I have been asking the same question.
    try and do something to entertain them, e.g S hag them!


    he's clearly bored or he wouldnt be playin video games all day - so entertain him!
    Sell their video game system, well i should not be talking since i play for 8 hours a day. :)
    It's a substitute for sex. You need to give him five hours of sex every day.
    How many hours a day was he playing before you got married?
    wtf? he a grown *** man nd you a grown *** women you need to yell at his *** mann he shud leave that shyt bhind
    honestly, its an addiction and needs the appropriate counseling.
    give him an alternative... that includes you... :D
    just offer sex probelem solved
    think of something more fun (eg. sex),


    then they'll get off of the video game
    if ya want him to stop playing video games. have s^x or do something he like
    why dont you play too? why is it hurting you so much? just talk to him, hes your husband

    What do I do if my husband and I cannot come to a mutual agreement on baby names for the future?

    My husband and I cannot agree. For example, for a girl he likes Isabelle and I like Ava. How can we agree? Who gets the deciding vote? What do I do if my husband and I cannot come to a mutual agreement on baby names for the future?
    I hope you have all boys.





    LOL!What do I do if my husband and I cannot come to a mutual agreement on baby names for the future?
    You need to learn to compromise. If you can't agree on a baby's name, you both are going to have a long, hard road ahead of you when it comes to parental disagreements. You need to sit down and start negotiating right now. Listen with an open mind as to why his name choice is better than yours. If it's a family name, respect that, with the compromise that the other partner choose the name for the next child. Or compromise on which parent gets to name which gender child, or swap who chooses first and middle names.





    If this is going to be your only child, you will have to find other ways of compromising. Maybe you can ask a relative, pick names out of a hat, or even consult a psychic.





    These are basic life skills here... you need to learn to compromise now, before your children learn to use your disagreements against you.
    Agree in the present instead of the future. If you're not having a baby today, it's not a problem. Stop making problems for yourself that don't exist.
    The my husband and I did was if we had a boy he names him and if we have a girl I name her. We had a boy and he named him. It's only fair.
    Well, I think that I would curb that disagreement until you are actually going to have a baby.






    use one of them for the first name and one of them for the middle name. that way you both win.
    You just use one as the first name and one as the middle name. Simple.
    Can one be the middle and one the first?

    What does the tradition of the husband cutting the umbilical cord mean or symbolize?

    Nothing really simply means that the husband wants to participate after you suffered .. loll its a great thing! He feels like he at least helped a little. I know for sure my bf will. If he didnt Id be a little sad ( its also a mental thing for yourself .. if he refuses than its his choice but if he wants to its AWESOME!!)What does the tradition of the husband cutting the umbilical cord mean or symbolize?
    i think its just so the father can have a part in the delivery.

    How does a Wife get her husband to choose between her and his mistress after he moves out?

    My estranged husband has been having an affair for 2years. He decided he no longer wants to be with me nor does he want to file the divorce. He hasn't had any intimate relations with me and doesn't live in our marital home.





    Why does he do this? Do some men enjoy having a wife waiting for them and a mistress too?How does a Wife get her husband to choose between her and his mistress after he moves out?
    he may not want to file for divorce but I dont understand what is stopping you from filing.How does a Wife get her husband to choose between her and his mistress after he moves out?
    I think she sees a psychiatrist, because she is insane to think that is in anyway...okay. You can petition the court for divorce all by yourself. I do not think he could be any clearer to the fact that he doesn't want anything to do with you, if you have never lived together or had sex, you can get the marriage annulled. You have already lost this one to the mistress, nothing to win.
    Honey - he already made his choice.. And the mistress won...





    Of course he doesn't want to file for divorce. If you divorce, he will not be able to have his cake and eat it, too. You will be entitled to half of all the marital assets, child support (if you have kids) and possibly spousal support (alimony).





    DON'T WAIT for him. He's betrayed your marriage. File for divorce, take him to the cleaners and move on with your life. You deserve better.
    he will eventually file for divorce when the other woman gives him an ultimatum. he just doesn't want to split the as setts with u. he does it because u allow it. when a man leaves for another woman he made his choice, and u can do cartwheels, u can beg and plead and it won't make a difference. unless she dumps him there is no chance.
    Of course! By not divorcing, he doesn't lose half of the marital property. It's the money, honey, not indecision!





    See a lawyer and get the divorce started...and don't be fooled when he begs for ';another chance';...that will be the money talking, too.
    I don't think you should torment yourself with wondering what your husband's motivations are. File for a divorce and get on with the process of healing. Rebuild your life the way you want it. He's moved on, now you need to do the same.





    Best of luck to you!
    ';How does a Wife get her husband to choose between her and his mistress after he moves out?';





    he left you sweetheart. i know that hurts, but it is what it is. he's gone. done. el fin.





    start accepting that fact, so you can continue life.





    good luck.
    this is not a marriage it is a sad arrangement.





    I am not quick to say divorce in many situations, but this is one where you would not be smart to try and hold onto this man.


    File the papers, and get on with your life
    Don't stop you life waiting around for him to pick you. He just doesn't want to pay alimony. You can and should press the issue. What he's doing is not fair.
    Why would you want him back? Do you enjoy the misery he puts you through? Do you think you deserve to be treated this way? Divorce his butt and then move on with your life.
    I think he just doesn't want to deal with all the crap of a divorce and you getting stuff out of him.


    I don't think I'd want to be with this dude if it were me.
    If you want a divorce and he wont sign the papers. All you have to do is put in the newspaper. If he doesn't respond in 30 days. There's your divorce.
    If you really want to get his attention, file for divorce and alimony!! Trust me sista Money talks!! Nothing will divert his attention away from another woman like the possibility of losing a large portion of his assets!!
    Im sorry but if he has left you the he has already made his decision.





    File for divorce yourself. Dont wait for him to do it.
    It's over, and it's time to move on. Not all men want a mistress, but men who don't have a sex life at home do !
    i would file for divorce and sue the hell out of him for everything he has.


    but that's just because i'm a spiteful *****.
    you can file as well
    1 your lettinh him do this.2nd yes some men do.3rd go out an get laid.
    He only does these things to you because you allow it ...You go file for divorce and good ridence to bad rubbush.
    To answer your last question: some guys consider twice the nagging as twice the lovin'
    Who cares? Divorce the idiot and move on.
    No yours is just lazy and doesn't want to pay the cost.
    So he's out banging this other chick, but married to you and you are waiting for him?





    Yeah, sounds perfect
    Simply in a word.... YES...!





    Men immature men want their cake and want to eat it too.
    If he has a mistress, he's chosen.





    Better luck next time.
    Why dont YOU file for divorce? That can be done you know...?
    have some diginity. don't beg. if he wants her, let him have her.
    See a lawyer and what your options are. Dont ever be at ANYONES beck and call, you need a life of your own...he's old news!
    Sounds like he's made his choice.


    What are you waiting for?
    sounds to me he made the choice when he moved out
    i tink it's time for you to file for divorce. let her have him.
