Im needing to know what to do about my marriage. My husband is very controlling and we all ways fight when he is home. I just want us to go back to normal. He seems to think that after we got married he doesn't have to be romantic anymore? Why do they think that?

Controlling is not good for you or the child. I had to end it with my husband after 8 years. It was the hardest thing to do, but I did it not only for my kids but also myself. People say work it out for the kids! Yes, this is the best thing for the kids if it is possible. After being lied to for 6 years and almost losing my husband because of Felony theft I just finally gave up on him. He had his chance. When we seperated he asked me if I would give him another chance. My response was "how many more do you need". Hello guys out there! What do you expect? If he isn't taking care of you then the question is who is he taking care of? Girl I am 28 and know the feeling. You are young and there are men out there that can Love you the way you want to be loved. I finally found out that it is true. All I am going to say is this one last thing. Please whatever you do do it for yourself and no one else. Not the people that give you advice and not family. Do it because it is what's best for you and the baby. Make yourself a better person and your family a happier one. I have 4 kids and thought it would ruin them. Honey, my kids are alot happier now then they have ever been. Good Luck!

Hi J., I am a mother of 3 ages 7, 5 and 3. My husband and I have been married 10 years now. My husband too is very controlling, but insecure as well. I have learned that if you disagree it is okay, it is how you deal with the issues that matter. We have had sooo many issues over the years, but have learned to work them out, if for nothing else, for the sake of the children having us both in the home. Many times I have thought of divorce because I love life and plan to be happy throughout mine, but my husband knows how far to push me and when to pull me back in and how to pull me back in. Basically he wants me all to himself, has ran off a dozen of my friends by just being mean, and has problems when I attend family functions. We have very different childhoods and backgrounds so disagree on how to disipline the children. I do know that it takes the 2 of you to keep the romance and fire there. Men often don't know how to be romantic or are to lazy. But you can give him ideas ( I do ) or just plan romantic things involving both of you. Don't wait for him to do it, he will learn from what you do and start adapting some of your ways. Hang in there, with time it will get better.

J., I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but I think you should get Dr. Laura Schlesinger's The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands. It sounds old-fashioned, but it really works. We are much happier because of it.
