    seeling answers. Is divorce the only option?

    All relationships are strange in their own ways. Lesbian tendencies doesn't preclude loving you. I think sexual tendencies are a continuum, a spectrum, a bell curve. Most are in the 45-65% part of the curve. Others are more one-sided. You love each other. That is a lot more than a lot of...

I love him so much and treasure everyday of the the 4 years we have been together. He is kind, loving, respectful and protective. I have been so...

    I agree with akmom. How your mother responded to your abuse should be a gauge to how to handle this situation. Rely on your gut feelings

    I am with your husband. On your days off take her places. There are lots of free things to do with kids. Don't sit at home or let her sit in front of a TV and she won't miss the last of the preschool at all. Go to Amazon and look for craft books for pre-school kids - they aren't expensive and...
