I’m struggling and need some advice. My husband has severe anger issues and often has explosive outbursts. It’s reached the point where he’s thrown things and even punched and shattered our tv. Every time this happens, he apologizes sincerely but also tells me that I make him so mad and push him too far, which is why he reacts this way.

“I love my husband but i think he is gay.”
I have been with my husband for about 2 years and as our relationship continues I just cant shake the feeling that he is gay and not just bisexual. When he first got together he had grindr downloaded on his phone but there was not identifiable information about himself as well as looking like he only used it for hookups. Well was trying to because he never responded to any messages that he received. When he used to watch porn I found that it was only ever trans female that had not transitioned yet or gay porn.

“My mom (60) has no retirement plan or money and is banking on me and wife to take care of her”
I’ll begin this story with gassing up my mom. She is a wonderful kind and caring woman. She single handily took care of my brother and I before my dad reentered the picture when I was 9-10. She is a small business owner and has her demons with spending/not saving for retirement/mental health issues. That being said she is extremely extra. She can be very needy, manipulative, emotional and doesn’t deal even remotely well with confrontation or disagreements.

So, you’ve tied the knot. You had the big fancy wedding, posted all the obligatory honeymoon pics on Instagram, and now you’re back to normal life as a married couple. Time to just coast on marital bliss for the next 50 years, right? Wrong.
Here’s the thing no one tells you about marriage: The wedding isn’t the finish line – it’s the starting gun. All that romance and excitement leading up to the big day? That’s just the shiny packaging. The real “prize” inside is a hell of a lot of hard work.
“I’m not physically attracted to my wife and have never been. Married 6 years.”
I married someone who embodied qualities I had not found in anyone else before. She has a huge heart and is extremely clever. Unfortunately, I don’t find her physically attractive which has put a strain on our marriage since the beginning. My previous ex I went after solely because of her appearance and that was about the best thing I could say about her.
