My husband and I have been married 6 months, and I'm not happy. In fact, most days I'm so lonely I could cry, even when he's standing right next to me! I guess its because, even though we do see each other a lot, I feel like he doesn't even know I'm there. Everyday, morning to night he's working on his computer. Six months and we've stopped having sex. He's never in the mood, and the last two times we've tried, he's literally stopped half way through and said he's just not in the mood anymore. I'm heart broken. There have been some family issues in his life the past week, and when I try to talk with him, or try and make him feel better, he shrugs me off. He doesn't need my advice or my comfort, he doesn't need me in the bedroom. I feel so empty and I'm afraid...I can't stay like this much longer.

I i have been married 8 months, we were together for two years before we started talking about marriage. I got married when i was 17. I thought marriage would be endless time with the one i love. I didn't think anything would really change except the fact that we would be living together. I often feel like i made a huge mistake. But i don't want to call it quits because we have only been married such a short time. I am in college, and i still have three years to go. I don't even want to think about children before i get out of school. But my husband is already trying to pick out names. I feel i am too young to even be thinking about these sort of things. Not to mention he works so much i don't even feel like there is time for the two of us let alone someone else. I just don't know what to do but we argue all the time especiall over sex. It seems like every time we get into an arguement he asks me if i want a divorce, and often times i don't know how to respond. Part of me wants to say yes! What do i do? How do i fix these problems??

I have been married for four months. We dated for six and a half years. I love my husband and don't want to divorce but I feel so overlooked so to speak. I can't explain my feelings. I talked to my husband about them but he feels bad when I say that marriage is nothing what I thought, so I apologize and say that I am just stressed out with school (college). A recent large purchase, in which I initially did not approve of but gave in, has caused a big chunk of problems and fights between us. Am I being silly?

My husband and i have been married only 3 1/2 yrs. and we have a new baby who is 8 months old. he is quite a bit older them i. and he treats me like a child. He promised me when i had the baby that he would help me, but he hasn't. but has done just the opposite. Since i had the baby he spends less time at home. the baby may see him in the morning for about 5 mins. He doesn't come home until 4:30 in the morning telling me he is working. all we have been doing lately is arguing.we are not communicating. So tell me is there something i can do? I have tried to talk to him but he always belittle me and doesn't want to talk? I don't know what to do anymore. except for divorce.

In regards to your comment about sex not being important in a marriage, how do you figure? I've been married just over a year, and I'm tellin' ya, the total and I do mean total lack of sex has me ready to vacate. Not only is there no sex, and has not been since the marriage but there's no affection either. No respect. but the sex thing, that's the icing on the cake, and all he can say is it's not you, well this one I know trust me. Bad advice already and you're just startin out ... sex is important........ especially when you aren't gettin any
