free games for married couples
I need help Long read
I'm sixteen and I’m always feeling what I think is depressed, and that's basically because I always feel like every time I start to feel good about myself something happens that makes me feel like utter crap again.
This all started in 1999 when my mum and dad split up (I was 6) and I took it really hard. I only saw my dad every other weekend and then at the start of the year 2000 I was forced to move schools because my mum didn't like the primary school that I was going into. I lost my 2 only friends when this happened.
In that year I made friends with a group of people, about 4 or 5, and I started to feel good about myself again. During this time I was living in my nans house because we couldn't afford to stay in our own. Then at the start of 2001 we moved again and I had to move to a third school.
At this point I started to feel really awful, and for the first 2 months I was at the school I didn't talk to anyone or have any contact with anyone other than my teacher, I sat in the corner of the playground alone and mostly cried. Eventually, a group of boys kept trying over and over again to cheer me up and invite me to play games with them, and after a while I decided I might as well. I can't thank those guys enough, they're all still my closest friends, and I should probably tell them this.
I don't remember seeing my dad very often after 2001 but in 2003 he told us that he was moving to America to marry some woman who he had fallen in love with. He couldn't live here with her because of something to do with her divorce, forcing her two children to grow up in America. I then lost contact with my father and only received the occasional birthday card.
My mum has always hated my dad since he left us, and whenever she gets angry and starts to shout it always ends up somehow reverting to an argument about my dad. She says I can feel free to contact him, but then later she start saying how he left us to take care of someone else's children, and that he doesn't deserve a chance, and if he contacts us (me or my brother) it's only to clear his on conscience.
Because of this I've never really been close to my mother either. During these growing up I also constantly the subject of my brother and cousins’ jokes and pranks, they never stopped teasing me, and because of them I’m still afraid of being on my own and the dark etc.
I've also had trouble with girls in that I asked a girl out about a year and a half ago who I thought liked me and she turned me down, and then this happened again with another girl this year just before the start of summer. I've never spoken properly to anyone about any of this, always constantly bottling it up, sometimes even joking about it in front of my friends, probably to act like I’m fine.
My dad has tried to get into contact with me on myspace by sending me messages, and I don’t know if I can bring myself to reply, because I don’t know what to say and whether he wants to get to know me now or whether its to ease his own guilt. My brother and mum got into an argument recently and now he's moved out and doesn't seem like he's coming back, so now it’s just me and my mum.
I've lost my appetite, I hardly get any sleep, mainly because my mind is always rushing with thousands of thoughts per second, I don't know how to turn it off. After about 2006 I stopped crying whenever I was sad, and bottled it up, occasionally breaking down every couple of months in bed late at night.
I’m referred to as "the funny one" in my group of friends because I always make jokes and never take anything seriously, which I think is because I sub-consciously don't want to have to deal with any issues and want to keep people at a distance from my emotional side. I hardly ever have any human contact, and even then it isn't the least bit sincere.
I’m not sure what there is to gain from posting this here, but I guess getting this off my chest makes me feel a little bit better. I actually felt better typing this before I even submitted it.
Thanks, you're response has already made me feel a bit better. And ironically I do wish to be a comedian, and have even started to write some of my ideas down.

How do I handle my irritability issues better Please help i think its starting to take a toll on my marriage
i've never really been irritable before. I wasn't really allowed to be. when i was living at home, i had issues with my step dad who abused me and my mom who treated me like i was her puppet. I got married to a wonderful guy and we've been married now for two years. But recently, especially this past couple years since i've been away from home, it's like all that irritability and anger toward my mom and step dad just kind of broke free since i broke free of them. But the problem is, my husband is the one taking the brunt of it. He is starting to think that I resent him and when i told him i dont, he says I think i don't resent him, but I really do and don't know it yet. He says every time he comes into the room, I tense up. Sometimes I get very impatient with him because he asks me to do something that i don't want to do, like play a game with him. Then when he is helping me play the game, I get impatient and upset and accuse him of trying to let me win. And i do things like this without thinking about it. He is being very patient with me, even after all he's been through being involved with me.
Also, he does tend to be very critical which is his biggest issue; he has to make everything become a debate. And that just fuels my irritability.
So what do I do to fix this? I can't afford anger management, I've had therapy but I can't afford more sessions. How can I help myself to be less irritable? And how do I prove to my husband that I don't resent him? I know it seems like it should be easy to be less irritable and that's what I thought too, but what scares me is that I can't seem to control it.
Please help me. I don't want to lose my husband.

Questions on my relationship with husbands kids
I am married with a man who has kids from a previous relationship. I know we all have the tendency to see pretty clearly the faults and disciplinary shortcomings in OTHER people's children and not so much in our own, so seeing as how I am not their mother and they came into my life at relatively "big" little girl ages, I have observed their behavior with a less-than-forgiving perspective. Besides any of the regular "bad behavior" stuff, my husband is basically a wuss about parenting and wants to be their friend more than their dad. He has babied them emotionally very much to the point that they are kind of useless to themselves and others around them. One huge thorn is that they are highly co-dependent on him, and he on them. When they come to visit (every weekend except ONE each month only because I fought for that free weekend), he sleeps with them and I sleep alone in our bedroom. I am always counting down the hours for them to leave because when they are with us, I "lose" my husband. He is very affectionate towards them (nothing weird going on here, I mean just regular dad-daugher affection), and not really at all towards me. It's like the dysfunctional way he was raised has taught him to "give all" for his children, and the sacrifical mother/wife must always settle for being on the sidelines, especially when she is not the mother of his kids. It's like the wife gets treated like a 2nd-class citizen and gets all the crumbs left over after his daughters have gotten what they need from him emotionally. Please don't mistake this for "I'm jealous of his kids." I am frustrated and upset that my husband doesn't know how to balance the scales. He doesn't know how to be a good father to his children and set boundaries, make them understand as all parents must, that he can't keep sleeping with them until they hit puberty (2 of them are pretty close already, 11 years old)! He must also make them understand that there is adult space, time, and privilege, and child space, time, and privilege. They are not the same. Children can't stay up until 2am because daddy does. I have spoken with him about this and he is pretty stubborn and defensive about it as you might expect. I have asked for them to come every other weekend like most kids of separated parents do, and he won't do it. There is always an excuse, a "good" reason. I don't think I'm asking for anything unreasonable or selfish. It has put us on the verge of separation a couple of times now because he can't see that he needs to give his wife her proper place in front of his kids. Oh, besides this, I cook for all, clean up all the time because they don't do it right and he doesn't force them to clean up after themselves before TV or games (I get tired of saying it over and over to them and to him), I pay for EVERYthing because I am the only one employed (going on over 1 year since married he's unemployed), and he spends all the time they are here, watching cartoons with them or doing whatever they want to do, but spends MINUTES out of each day with me. I am ever-frustrated by this, it has improved some but if I were to encourage HIS preferences they would be living in the house I bought long before I married him, eating up all of our food with no consideration for the fact that we don't have a lot of money and I'm paying for everything that they "ask daddy for, " and I'm sick of feeling used and like a convenience to him and to them instead of being appreciated as his wife and woman, and as the provider of everything for everybody. I've tried talking to him and expressing how much this hurts me, how disappointed I am, and what I need from him, but it feels pretty crappy to be arguing with your husband about him wanting to sleep with his kids rather than with you, and to be watching cartoons rather than having a glass of wine with YOU! I feel undesired as a woman because he basically seems indifferent to sacrificing OUR adult, intimate relationship so that the daughters he has raised to be super co-dependent and needy can have their unreasonable needs met on a regular basis. Can someone give me advice other than the obvious counseling or divorce? I already know those and they are options I have seriously considered. Has anyone gone thru this and what was your outcome or how did you deal? I love him for other reasons. He is sweet, gentle, kind, funny, trustworthy, but he's lazy for not getting a job all this time and inconsiderate by bringing his daughters nearly every weekend with no "us" time hardly EVER. What can I do? We have good times, but this is an ongoing issue that always causes tension b/w us - every weekend for sure! BTW, his family totally supports his behavior so I am up against all of them constantly. It is a silent war, but it's war all right.
I have never denied anyone food. It's just that they "scavenge" anything they want like chips and sweets. They eat up these "treats" the same day instead of their dad teaching them to leave some for tomorrow and make stuff last. Sorry if this sounded like I am denying anyone food, I would never do that. I know the budget I have to work with and he doesn't support me in front of them when I know the food will run out if they keep up that pace. I buy them things they like for the days they're here, and they eat it all up the same day, then want more the next day. Doesn't seem fair and he is not teaching them to have manners or value what they receive. They are not too young to NOT understand about basic household things like, "No, you are not allowed to eat the entire bag of chips in one sitting." I am 1 person buying food and paying for all expenses for 5 people. I think that gives me the right to have an opinion about how it is consumed.
Thank you for ALL of your wonderful advice. I know it's "taboo" to say it, but there can be unhealthy overkill in spending too much time with your kids to the detriment of your adult, intimate relationship with your chosen life partner. I would never do what he's doing. I would want a nice balance b/w my relationship with my kids and with my husband. You don't choose someone to re-make your life only to make them feel like they finished in 2nd or 3rd place. Kids or no kids...

Am I the only one that thinks this is absolutely CRAZY
I don't know if all of you know about the "18 kids and counting" show but I was just wondering if I am the only one that thinks this is crazy.
For those of you who don't know who these people are or what the show is, here's the background:
Michelle Duggar (née Ruark) is the youngest of seven children (she has one brother and five sisters). Originally from Ohio, Michelle moved to Arkansas in her childhood. Jim Bob Duggar is one of two children. The couple met in the early 1980s, when Michelle had experienced a religious conversion and Jim Bob (along with other church members) was sent for follow-up visits. They were married on July 21, 1984.
The Duggars elected to wait before having children and practiced birth control during that time. It would be four years before Joshua, their oldest child, was born. The Duggars then resumed using birth control; however, Michelle conceived again but suffered a miscarriage. Believing the miscarriage was due to the birth control, the Duggars quit using birth control. Instead, as they explain, they decided to allow God to determine the number of children they would have. Shortly thereafter, Michelle became pregnant again, this time with her first of two sets of twins, Jana and John-David. Thereafter, approximately once every year and a half, Michelle would again become pregnant and give birth.
The Duggars are conservative Baptists who endorse the Quiverfull movement. The children watch very little television and their internet usage is strictly monitored. The children are home-schooled using a mix of materials, including those of Switched On Schoolhouse, IBLP (produced by Christian teacher Bill Gothard), and Accelerated Christian Education (ACE). The children do not date, but rather go through courtship, which requires the young man to seek permission from the girl's father to begin the relationship, even if both parties are adults. All meetings between an engaged couple include a chaperone, and they believe in abstaining from all physical affection and intimacy (except hand holding), including kissing, until marriage.
The Duggars raise their children using a buddy system, in which an older sibling assists the younger sibling in daily tasks. According to Michelle, "They help them with their little phonics lessons and games during the day and help them practice their music lessons. They will play with them or help them pick out the color of their outfit that they want to wear that day, and just all of those types of things." In 2004, Michelle Duggar won the "Young Mother of the Year Award" in Arkansas, which is sponsored by American Mothers Incorporated.
Jim Bob Duggar is a former state legislator who served in the Arkansas House of Representatives from 1999 to 2002. The Duggars now say their income is derived from the commercial properties they own. The Duggars claim they live debt-free, which Jim Bob has said is "the fruit of Jim Sammons' Financial Freedom Seminar" he attended years ago. Their large house was completed on January 20, 2006 with aid from Discovery Networks and corporate sponsors, who also donated a full pantry and household appliances.
In early April 2009, their oldest son, Joshua, and his wife, Anna, announced that Anna was pregnant. In an interview, Anna stated, "I am three months, and feeling great." They are due around October 18th, 2009. When asked about potential names, they hinted in the interview in keeping with the one letter tradition. Josh stated they were thinking "M," after his mother. It will be the first grandchild for Jim Bob and Michelle.
So again, am I the only one that thinks this is absolutely CRAZY?

I need your helpplease
ok i know your going to say well stay away from this guy but yea i know that but still hes a cool guy and he was drunk.......
ok well here's the catch. ive grown up with this guy and hes 26 his names josh. he was always picking on me when we were younger not like calling me names just like flirty kinda picking on. well now its present and well my mom and my aunt and my uncle and i went all drinking( my mom let me have a couple(like around 4-7 cant remember how many). well at this bar (that i haven't went to in a while) we sit there after a while and have a couple there. then we went to a different bar. there was live music and i saw Josh and my neighbor .they were there and travis had to ask me a question. so i went over there and talked to him and the whole time Josh was standing by me and had his arm around me. (mind you hes married) then we had to go so we went to the bar we went to before and they followed us there. then my mom and i were fighting and josh comes up to me and says listen to your mom and so i didn't and i walked away. then he comes over and hes like get over there or im going to kick your a*s . then im like here free shot bring it and he did he kicked me and i sat down. then he grabbed me by my hair and pulled me over there and i look at him and im like i wouldn't do that because you know what happens when my hair is pulled(i find hair pulling a turn on ) .then he smiled and pulled harder. then it was bar close and we went to Josh's house for after party and the whole time he kept looking at me (when his wife was right there). while i was sitting on a stool and im like(to josh) you can sit down if you want. then he sits on my lap and im like i meant the stool not me and he starts to bounce on my lap .then he stopped and leaned back and i couldn't hold myself up so i hugged onto him (mind you i wasn't drunk just a lil past buzzed). then he had to start to play a card game. so i sat there for about twenty minutes and went and stood over by him and watched the game. the he motions to me to come closer to hear what he has to say. so i did and hes like hey sit on my lap lets make your mom mad. so i was hesitant at first then he pulled me onto his lap and hes like shes my good luck charm (when his wife was right by him). Then after a while and a few more drinks that he had he started to feel me up. nobody saw of course. then hes really got dirty and started whispering to me in my ear that he wanted me. WHEN HIS WIFE WAS RIGHT THERE!!!!!!! then the funny thing is is that his wife got jealous and shes like how would you like it if she sat on my lap and i sat on her lap and she was hugging me and oddly she had her hand on my inner thigh and she was rubbing it. So.... as odd as it sounds a straight girl who was married and her husband were trying to get me into bed. but back to Josh. So then i went and sat back down on his lap. and i didnt notice at first but he put his hand under where i was going to sit and he started rubbing practically everywhere down there. Then he would venture up and grab my breast and then he would look at me and he would be like ooo you like that dont you. and he kept doing that three or four times. then we had to go and thats where it ended

How do you spend your average day with your spouse
I guess it's becoming clear to me that my husband and myself do not conduct ourselves like most married couples, and I'd just like information on how YOU and your spouse spend your days?
Please include:
Your ages
How long you've been married
Do you spend most of your time together?
If you're both home, are you TOGETHER or doing separate things?
Do you go to bed together?
Are you affectionate?
How's your sex life?
-About me: My husband and I have been married for 2 years. I'm 24, he's 29. We spend almost all of our free time together. Every couple weeks we will get together with friend without each other for a couple of hours, but typically our time is spent together. When we are both home, we are doing things together. We watch shows together, or play games together, or just talk. We go to bed TOGETHER every night, and we are very affectionate. We do cuddle every night before sleeping, and show affection by hugging/kissing multiple times a day. We have sex multiple times a week, and the quality is good. Just looking to see how other couples compare, on average!

Question on relationships
My boyfriend and I have been together for 2 years... We complete each other.... He is my thinker... He reminds me how to think logically in a situation, instead of making decisions purely based on my passion... And it follows that I am his feeler... I remind him to have emotion and to use his heart as well as his brain. He is my extrovert... I am his introvert... I get him to think introspectively... He gets me to interact with other people more comfortably... We are IN love... and we want to get married someday... I trust every bone on his body... He is my knight in shining armor, and I thank God every day for giving him to me...
My boyfriend is such a teddy bear! He doesn't really get along with guys because he feels he doesn't relate to them as much (since they largely talk about how big their penises are, how big “so and sos” boobs are, and play mindless video games way too often)... My boyfriend doesn't mind hanging with guys... just finds it hard to find the type of guy he can really relate to... the consequence, however, of his feelings of non-acceptance by the male gender... is that he seems to only relate to adults or girls...
In his environment now... he seems to only be able to make friends with girls... We have a temporary long distance relationship... He has been hanging out with a group of girls and a couple of guys lately... Before we used to talk a lot more... but he recently decided he was tired of video chatting because he wanted to go play games with some friends... exercise... and just break free from his room... I LOVE that he can have fun... but now I feel sort of abandoned... and as if he doesn't enjoy my company as much as his friends' anymore...
I'm also concerned because he seems to be relating better with one girl out of the entire group... and I think I'm getting kind of jealous of his relationship with her... They have gone swimming together (swam laps), chatted for 5 hours online (iming), and they hang out with the group almost every night for the past 2 weeks... We’ve been arguing about this for a while now… He says he feels “suffocated” if I can’t let him be “him” and have time with friends… I don’t want him to not have friends… but I still want quality time with him! And it would be nice if he missed spending time with me too! And actually PREFERRED to talk to me instead of hang out with his friends AGAIN over talking to me… he also claims he's "getting to know people"... He has continually admitted that he sometimes gets overindulged when he meets people for the first time…it’s one of his favorite things to do (get to know new people)… but shouldn’t the love of my life want to talk to me everyday of my life more than anyone else in the WORLD? Is he going to be overindulged for the rest of my life? You meet a lot of people every day!!
But I just hate that he's developing a 1 on 1 relationship with another girl besides me... She's not interested in him... He's not interested in her... But I just feel so upset!! Do I have a right to feel this way?
