My conversations with my husband are either about business, or they consist of me expressing my desire for a date, time alone with him, or even time by myself so I can work on some other things. I’m always with the kids and yes, I am one of those moms who feels like I have lost myself in the process. More
Keeping with much of what has already been observed about contemporary marriage in the United States, getting married still remains heavily steeped in your socioeconomic status. Modern marriage is supremely about class, perhaps more so than anything else. More
Dear Bipolar Husband,
I know you’re probably going to read this some day, so before I start, let me say that I’m not talking about leaving you. This isn’t an I-hate-my-husband letter. Just read it. More
I call the father of my children and boyfriend of seven years my “husband,” even though we aren’t married. It just seems easier that way. It feels a little weird when we stand there as a family and I introduce him as my “boyfriend.” Inevitably, people look at our child and I can almost hear them thinking, “so, is he the father?” I’m also currently eight months pregnant. “Boyfriend” confuses people. More
I realize that pointing out a ridiculous or horrible thing Kim Kardashian says is pretty much the bottom of the blogging barrel. The woman says enough ridiculous stuff to keep every celebrity media outlet continuously posting Kardashian updates on the hour, every hour, on into eternity. But her latest shock quote is so disgusting that I just can’t let it go. More
Marriage has been known to have all kinds of nice health benefits, including living longer and having better mental health. But if you’re in same-sex relationship and, for whatever reason, haven’t tied the knot, those lovely bonuses don’t apply to you. So says science. Health disparities brought straight to you from homophobia and the stress it creates.
Itâs unsaid, but we BOTH know that we are fighting this battle of what our son Holtâs first word will be. I canât wait for the day when I can scream, âHE SAID âMAMAâ.â This may or may not happen. My fiancĂ© may be working Holt hard too, if not harder than me. More
It’s an age-old motherhood debate: who do you love more, husband or child? It’s a debate that I’ve always found slightly ridiculous, because I don’t find these two kinds of love to be comparable at all. And still, women have been proclaiming their allegiance and judging those on the other side of the debate for decades now. The most recent mom to throw her hat into the circle of this fight is Giuliana Rancic. More

7 Really Surprising Wedding Traditions
I’m not really one to use words like “journey” when it comes to Kim Kardashian, but it appears that the soon-to-be mother had one — surrounding that whole “I’m having a baby out of wedlock” thing. More
When you’re writing love notes on Facebook as a parent, suddenly the love can be about so much more stuff that no one wants to hear about. You’ve crossed a threshold of sorts. You’ve wiped your baby’s ass together. You’ve (probably) gone through childbirth together. And those things translate into the kind of intimacy that truly doesn’t belong on social media. Young love is about mushy feelings and “I love you’s.” Parent love is about mushy diapers and “I love you’s.” Neither really deserves a place on Facebook, but the latter often takes things to another, more extreme level. More
We canât afford healthcare, so Iâm not seeing a psychologist. My husband has sort of become my only hope. But his old misconceptions about depression still creep in when heâs sleep deprived or frustrated with the intensity in our lives right now. When I want to just vent or cry, heâll rattle off solutions in his tough love way. It nearly always turns into an argument. I hate it because I feel like Iâm always forcing him to be the strong one and that Iâm weighing him down with my problems. More
I’m sure the Affleck-Garner family has their strife just like everyone else. Heck, even when Jennifer Garner was wholesomely pregnant with baby Samuel, she expressed regret at marrying young (the first time around). But according to a “source” close to the couple, what makes this nuclear family so sparkly and and Wonder Bread-worthy is that the pair have a Mad Men-style arrangement happening. More
For those of you who are frantically pre-ordering flowers and getting your teddy bars and chocolates in order — remember that a happy Valentine’s Day doesn’t always come in the form of fancy dinners and diamonds bracelets. For about 500 or so couples, it seems, their ideal Valentine’s Day gift includes a free divorce lawyer. More
