marriage
Marriage is not so much a word as it is a sentence–a life sentence.
Peeps and Onions
When I left the hospital after my husband's death, I knew I walked away without part of my soul. Marriage vows say, "as long as we both shall live," or the equivalent. I will tell you, those words weren't a reflection of my heart that cold, dark morning. Ray was gone, and a serious portion of me was gone with him. The misty drizzle didn't help, and our small town was as quiet as a tomb. I was already wondering why I was still there, breathing, knowing my existence was pointless without him.

When You Discover Your Spouse No Longer Cares
I think the first time I noticed that something was wrong was about 4 years ago. We were fighting all the time, I mean all the time. It was almost like it was a power struggle. I still to this day cannot put my finger on what started all of this. And to be completely honest, I can't even remember what we fought about back then, I just know how lonely I felt all the time.

Married Woman Seeks Affair
The shit thing about being married to a nice guy is everyone likes him and everyone thinks you're a bitch. My husband is nice. My husband is so nice, every time someone meets him they love him, he has a plethora of friends and comes across as a perfectly normal lovely person. Little do people know he actually is a dick and hates everyone but that's another story for another time.

Why We Decided to Elope
When my boyfriend asked me to marry him, it was the best day of my life so far. It was so intricately planned; full of surprises and romance, not to mention the fact that I was, and have been, head over heels in love with him since the day we met. As a little girl, I had dreamed of the fairy tale wedding. The white dress, the bridesmaids, the big ceremony, it was everything I ever wanted. So I thought.

Are You Ready for Your Blessings?
I met you when I was seventeen years old and lonely. Of course, I was lonely: I hadn't had a love in many years, and being single for a long time was not something I thought I would ever get used to. Being a companion and having a companion was always something I imagined for myself. Maybe I was just a conservative woman who believed that I should be wed and have someone to call my forever, or maybe I was just a woman who had a desire to not be lonely anymore.

Traditional Marriage
#TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE What is "Traditional Marriage?" Some would have you believe it is when a man and woman wed in holy matrimony, when two members of the opposite sex fall madly in love and want to give away the rights of half their possessions to someone they met in Wetherspoons when they were off their face. I too had this perception that marriage is reserved for the holiest of Wetherspoon fréquentées — but then I realized that I had been preprogrammed to think in such a way that I had been taught that traditional marriage was about love and heterosexual love — but it isn't. It so isn't, or at least it never traditionally use to be — so let's visit the tradition of marriage from its creation to the present and then I'll invite you to ask yourselves how traditional your own marriage is and how important do you think tradition is when it comes to marriage...

Nightmares and True Love
"You died today. My blurred eyes were watching you go down into that last resting place. Our kids were screaming for you. I could hear the pain as they called out your name. All I could do was cry silently and stand there lovingly embracing them — I have been keeping them together, for my sake. Do you see us?

Wife of an Alcoholic
Do you ever sit up all night waiting for the person you love to come home after a day/night out drinking? Do you keep calling and texting them because you're worried? Do you go to bars or their hangouts in search for them? Do you feel alone, exhausted, anxious, depressed and crazy? Are you affected by someone else's drinking? This is for you!
