How do you know when it is too late to save a relationship and you should break up?
All we do is argue now. We seem to have lost all respect for each other and the love we show is not the same as it once was when we first met. It is like at this moment, it is a burden for each of us to hang on to this, and yet, when we think of moving on, we can’t stand to not have each other in our lives. How do you know when it’s just better to move on, or stay and mend it the relationship?
I’m going through this myself right now. Granted I’m sure we have different issues, but me and my boyfriend (now ex, we’re taking a break) weren’t happy. I’m not sure if this break will help anything, or if we’re going to get back together or not, but it doesn’t hurt to try. Sometimes you just need your own space and time to reflect on yourself. Maybe you guys should take a short break, so you can think about everything, really decide if you want to be together, if you can see yourselves having a future..etc. It’s not always the solution, but if you want to try and make things work, maybe it could help things. Communication is key here, you both need to talk about your needs, why you’re not happy, what you both think you could do differently.
Has anyone suffered severe depression while in a long-term relationship or marriage?
Has anyone suffered (or had their partner suffer) from severe depression while in a long-term relationship or marriage?
Did you find yourself fighting more with your partner or pulling away completely? Were you/they able to solve their issues without ending the relationship?
Yeah.. another one of those questions I found myself in the same situation. I pulled away completely, cocooned myself in my own little world, and didn’t let anyone inside it. I went through the motions with out emotions. Medication helped, but by then the damage was done. I got out of it, but while the marriage ended, went right back into it worse than before. Took a while to get out of that one, and it was hard to do. The biggest thing is don’t shut the other person out. Eventually they will see a closed door and quit knocking. Then try and find someone else with an open door.
Had I done that, who knows what would have happened. Maybe the same thing, maybe something different. But it helped, I grew from it and hopefully became a better person because of it. That is all we can do. Learn from our mistakes so we don’t repeat them.

How does gay marriage affect tradition or religion?
I am just wondering once again on the opinion of people for this issue/debate. I have to debate on it in class tomorrow. In my case I am against gay marriage for the debate, but I am for Civil Unions. I don’t think the ppl that are gay should get the title, because they already have C.U.’s. Also, this can affect the tradition of people that don’t want it, ect…
How would you solve this issue, according to my case?
-if you can please use statistics and information you know to
be against the issue/debate.
Well I’m not going to do your homework for you, but I will say this.
How would you feel if the State of California passed a law saying that it now recognized ALL High School Diplomas… I mean even ones written on the back of a brown paper bag in purple crayon that said HIGH SKOOL DIPLAMA that was signed by some guy’s Mom?
What if they started saying ANYONE with ANY badge was a law enforcement officer… little Dennis Mitchel with his $1.98 plastic SHERRIF badge is now supposed to be on the same level as a 12 year veteran of the Highway Patrol.
Simply saying something is true doesn’t make it so. Simply saying that someone has completed High School doesn’t mean they have a High School Education, just as saying someone is a trained cop, doesn’t make him one.
Saying that two men who live together are married doesn’t make it a marriage.
And the State ought not to be in the buisness of lying.
What is the best marriage advice you can give to make it work?
THE 1ST YEAR OF MARRIAGE SETS THE TONE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE TOGETHER! Do these and most of the great advice in other answers and you’ll be fine:
**Notice the small stuff- pay attention to the little things in each other
**Take off your mask– be honest, real, sincere and open
**Make "we" or "us" the priority– diminish the "I" part
**Make your partner feel liked and loved– show and speak affectionately, have a sense of humor, wrestle and play in the mud, eat Oreo cookies and ice cream together
**Create safe spaces- make it safe for your partner to be open and honest, don’t judge or be critical unnecessarily
**Support each other- be aware of each others sensitive spots and pains, have his/her back
**Tend to the fire– need I say more
**Allow for separateness also- give each other space and time alone, especially when requested
**Always fight fair– screaming/yelling, repeated arguments that go nowhere, picking fights, throwing up old issues, etc., damage goodwill
**never go to sleep angry
**Learn to compromise, forgive and reach out when necessary…. and always, always give 100%, not 50/50
** And remember, "it ain’t always about you!" There will be times when your partner is agitated, it may have nothing to do with you, so don’t personalize all issues as being your cause or related to you
And finally, the key to a good marriage is much, much more than good communication, this is only the beginning and does not solve all issues. Much of what is listed above is beyond communication.

How to convince my fiance’s mother to agree to our marriage?
Myself and my fiance are ready to marry each other, but the only problem is his mother. We want her agreement and blessings… She is not ready to accept me as she fears she will loose her son. I am actually from USA and my fiance is from India…(my parents were from India btw). I am really scared that if she doesn’t agree to our marriage, that I might do something drastic and I don’t want to disappoint my own parents. My fiance and I are trying to come up ways to convince his mother. Please help me out.
personally i don’t see what her opinion has to do with it. i think you and your fiance should sit down and tell her that the wedding is going ahead, without being bitchy, and tell her that you would much rather do it with her blessing, i mean, your not looking to marry her!keep clam and tell her that you are looking forward to enjoying your life with her son. and make sure he is there to fully support you. have a talk with your fiance before you go in so you can make sure you are on the same wavelength
