I am 24 year old single mother of two beautiful children. I have a 3 year old daughter and a two year old son. I recently got out of 6 year relationship with a person who treated me in ways no human should ever treat another human being. I have learned a lot and hope to share it to help others. At the same time I have a lot to learn and use this site as a source of insight into other peoples' minds and hearts. I'm always open, so if you want to you can private message me also. :)

I am really regretting this "open marriage" arrangement!

Q.   I'm not sure how to begin. Several years ago, my wife and I agreed to an open-marriage. I'm not happy with it at all and feel neglected, and to be honest, I feel less of a husband. She knows how I feel and even has tried to stop several times, ...

A.   24 June 2009: It's understandable why you agreed to it, seeing that it was something she really wanted. You can't change her, and if she's determined enough she will never stop. So the only question left is do you want to stick around and be miserable or do you ... (read in full...)

A.   23 June 2009: Well no one can really say what her reasons really are except for her. There is only one way to find out, that would be to ask. Women say they want space for a variety of reasons. It could be to call it off in a "sweet way" it could be she is simply ... (read in full...)

A.   23 June 2009: You're right. Soul searching and "finding yourself" so to speak is a personal journey. If you've always had someone around your mind is focused on everyday life things as opposed to "who am I really?" and "what do I really want out of my life?" ... (read in full...)

A.   23 June 2009: Maybe try to not bother him. Give him his space, etc. You've already apologized and told him you miss him, so now the ball is in his court. If he asks you to come over dont go, let him miss you too. If you're at his doorstep everytime he says the ... (read in full...)
