    Absolutely... That is true, too.

    Do women want sex as much as men?

    I won't generalize either, but my libido is quite hearty and at least equal to my husband's. Based on age, some women have an "awakening" or enter their prime in their mid to late 30s. I'm now peri menopausal and in my late 40s and would say still in my prime. I had some time while I was with...

    Pros and Cons of Marrying Someone Older

    I actually had a few dates with someone considerably younger than myself. Unlike Demi, I threw him back. Fun to date, but it just didn't seem right to keep him... Lol. It was flattering, though. Older men? I dated one of them too, considerably older and well established. Also didn't seem like a...

    Explain your username

    My husband and I were going through a major rough spot in our marriage. I was praying more and more asking God for strength and guidance to help me restore our marriage. I started asking how I could fix me. Well God saved me and my marriage at the same time. The day I was saved the name...

    The Elephant in the Aisle

    Wasn't going to bother with this because it refers to a post all the way back on page one, but here goes: I Art Laughing wrote, "Actually, there is no scripture to support State sanctioned marriage. Marriage is a religious institution that was stolen by the State." You're correct in that...

    The Elephant in the Aisle

    Actually, IAL did: "The child support thing could still be touchy, but there may be some legal ways around that too." The rest of your post baffles me. I read the article & didn't see man being punished for not paying support that he hadn't been ordered to pay. I did see some men in a few...

    The Elephant in the Aisle

    Re read your spreadsheet and click through this time. The number 654,026 was the TOTAL number of people incarcerated in all local jails in 2005. According to your spreadsheet, in 2005, South Carolina had a total of 11,276 inmates in local jails, the estimated number of "child support detainees"...

    The Elephant in the Aisle

    There are no incentives for no fault divorce. I know women who have gotten no relief from the support collection system. My best friend's ex should be in jail. He abandoned them for anothr woman and drugs, makes plenty of money and pays nothing. Has never paid anything and they've been apart for...

    Husband incapable of emotional intimacy...

    :clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap: I am confuzzled about something though. Your gender icon says "male" but you refer to your husband. Error in setting the icon? Rather than hitting the quote button, he copied and pasted. Actually my words that got a lot of flack the first time...

    Need advice. My husband just got dropped off by the police.....

    I also want to urge you to go to Al-Anon New Zealand Al-Anon Family Groups | Al-Anon Family Groups even if he refuses to get help. Actually, especially if he refuses to get help. I've been through it with my ex, although his addiction was crack, not alcohol. He was also a bringer, but was either...

    Counseling.....

    Sometimes, it does not take two to fix things. Especially if you're the one that needs to work through things. I cause am issue in my marriage- totally different than yours, but it was MY issue that was affecting US. Of course it took a lot of prayer to realize what the problem was. I handled it...

    Absent husband's return

    I don't want to throw stones or argue. I don't want to get into the whole male vs female thing that's so popular here. :) I know you didn't condone his actions, but also I did not mean anything other than exactly what I said, when I wrote,"I did tell her to have him removed from her children's...

    Absent husband's return

    Oh, my goodness. I certainly didn't tell her to divorce him. I did tell her to have him removed from her children's home. If they work it out after that, it's their business. People need consequences to their actions. He should have been supporting them while he was out playing the single man...

    Absent husband's return

    She already explained to you about the sperm donor in her first reply to you: "They are very unhappy with the method we used to conceive our younger children (donor sperm) and say that I forced him into it which wasn't the truth at all." Don't make her defend herself to you.She came here for...

    I know... I'm not a guy! But I've been following this thread. I looked at some of your other posts to see how old you two are. Girl, this seems to be eating you up inside. I know you've been praying on this and even put out fleece. Personally, I don't like the idea of testing God, but that's...

    Absent husband's return

    What a nightmare! He had no right to even ASK that. You give up your kids. Why? Because the poor baby doesn't want to be a grownup anymore? It would be easier for me to cut off my own head and hand it to you than to give up either of my kids. He abandoned you and your kids and provided No...

    How often do you wear makeup?

    Every day. I never wear foundation or concealer because I love my skin tone and freckles. I always wear black mascara and my eyeliner is normally dark green or dark warm brown usually with copper-brown shadow with golden copper to highlight. I use a bronzer or Indian Earth as blush. Lips usually...
