If a dad has children from his first marriage and remarries and has more children is it possible for him to have equally good relationships with all of his kids? In my experience the children from the first marriage always seem to be forgotten or want to be forgotten. Is it possible to juggle fatherly responsibilities between two households?

I’m really looking for personal experience.

I always screwed up in relationships but feeling in love makes me so happy and when i have nobody to love i feel lonely. Recently I got over my ex boyfriend i loved for 2 years but i start latching myself to guys, pretty much being desperate to find love again. I lie to myself saying i love them but it gets me no where. I also have been crying once in awhile because of my feeling of loneliness. Is this normal? Does anybody else feel like this sometimes, and do i have a severe problem?

Is getting into a new relationships after a couple of days after a break up considered a rebound relationship?
Do they last? Why do people do it?

I personally take the healthy road and let time heal the wound instead of relying on somebody else.

hi everyone, here is my synopsis; I’ve been with my girlfriend for 7 months now. I met her through a mutual friend. I pursued her at first and we ended up taking the relationship serious within a month. She has 3 serious relationships before me and the one before me was just a month prior before. They have been together for 2 years at least before that. I one always cut ties off before trying to get into a new relationship cause it always causes problems so I immediately give the respect to not involve anyone else thats an ex. okay well I caught wind of this 2 months after us being serious with each other that she had been texting him back and forth. I was not happy about it at all and I confronted her about it, the messages were coming in late at night while we were sleeping and it woke me up so I asked "who is that texting in the middle of the night?" she was willing to see and let me know. I explained it made me uncomfortable and I would like her to eliminate the excess baggage. she explained at first how she couldn’t and how he was a part of her family and pretty much gave me the run around. so I left it alone but i wasn’t convinced. 1 month later we had gotten into an argument and I was at work while she called into work. she had gotten so intoxicated she started texting him. I had an suspicion that she was so i looked at her phone and saw a few messages. I confronted her "did your ex text you at all?" she said no at first and I know she doesn’t like a certain friend of mine thats a female so I informed her that she texted me.. well she still stuck with the story of no…then i had to tell her well i seen where he did… and why are you lying about it? she got upset naturally that i looked but had no argument after realizing how deceitful it was. I explained again that it bothers me and i would hope she would stop. well ill fast forward to now. I have caught her texting him at least once a month since the past 7 months we been together..she even did it last month while we both were at home having drinks and I wanted to do my own thing just listen to music and drink a few. well i had one to many and passed out.. she ends up texting him while i was asleep. I wake up a few hours later and i found out she did because she said she felt disconnected? i was like you cant talk to me about how you feel? you have to involve someone else into our problems? she even disguised his number as an female name in her phone. so now my trust in her is gone but can be salvaged by my terms…should i loose her cause clearly she has him on the back burner when things aren’t going so well…and its been seven months! I get limited on fun activities i used to love doing but yet she can sit cozy in the house all day because she dont work…and text him.

We have been married for 20 years next month. I am a stay at home mom with a 13 and 17 year old kids. I feel unappreciated for everything I do (everything except the yard work) but that’s just part of the problem. Although my hubby says he loves me, he really doesn’t show it. We have this pattern of things going fine for awhile, I get frustrated, blow up and tell him what’s wrong, he changes for a while but in about 3 weeks, he’s back to his old ways again. He’s trying and even my daughter told me he’s trying, mom, he really is, but I don’t know how many more times I can keep this up. The difference this time is that I’m not "running back to him" like I usually do. I hate conflict and it kills me inside to have this going on. I’m very frustrated and angry and have quite honestly thought about the greener grass, but realize it has it’s problems too… I’m feeling stuck… Any words of wisdom out there?

PS… He has a lousy relationship with his mom and I think he really doesn’t know how to relate to women. I asked about all of his previous relationships and he said they all broke up because "the new wore off". I asked him what was different about me….hoping for some awesome statement… He said, basically it was because I stuck around…
To give a bit more detail… I have been working off and on part time throughout the years. My husband likes to be the sole breadwinner and rather discouraged me working, especially full time, so I could stay at home with the kids. After the summer I do plan on finding a job since our oldest is graduating. We got married when I was 19 and really had no idea about love or marriage.
I’d also like to add that there have been several years of verbal abuse to not only myself or my children. He believes marital counselling is a "last resort" and isn’t interested in going. I have given everything to my husband and my family…I just want to be loved in return…that’s all…
Oh and for those of you who think there’s another man…there’s not!
