Question

I have a bad habit of speaking nicely to my fiance when I'm in a good mood, but being rude to him when I'm in a bad mood. How do I overcome this?

Patti

Community Answer

Being aware of this is a positive first step. Perhaps you might sit down with your fiance and talk to him about what you have realized. He will undoubtedly be aware of this. You could ask him to help you, and constructively point out your negative behavior when it happens. Then when you're behaving this way, you can apologize to him and try to adjust your attitude. You can also try to find more constructive ways to handle your negative emotions, like working out, listening to music, doing some kind of art project, etc.

Question

How can I convince my husband to have a baby?

Community Answer

Both parties must consent. Having a baby is a big responsibility, and your husband may not feel you're in the best position to do so, or maybe he's simply not ready to be a father. Talk to him and try to understand what he's feeling.

Question

How should I convince my husband to move out with me?

Community Answer

Sit down and have an honest conversation. Tell him why you want to go and listen to why he wants to stay. Then you need to decide together what's best for you both. If you can't, then you may need to move on alone.

Question

How do I get trust back in a relationship?

Community Answer

Start slow. Trust is one of the most important things in a relationship. Ask your spouse what you can do to help make this process more effective. Be open with him/her about how you feel, and make sure he/she is comfortable being open with you as well.

Question

My husband always lies to me. What should I do?

Community Answer

You need to make it clear to him that lying is hurtful to you. Make it clear that you will not tolerate such a behavior in your relationship. A large part of a successful marriage is trust, so if you aren't able to trust him, then your relationship won't be very strong.

Question

How do I know whether my husband is interested to continue this relationship or not? It's going to be a year that he left me and never has contacted me, never responded to my calls and mails.

If it's been a year, that's a clear sign he is no longer interested in this relationship.

Question

I like being helpful financially to my husband. But I am in a financial crisis now and he is unable to cope. How do I earn more and make him more responsible in financial matters?

Community Answer

Does he work? If not, and he is able to, you need to tell him firmly that he needs to get a job. If you support him and he can't work, give him a weekly allowance, and once he spends that, he has to wait until the next week. If you can't cover your bills, you might need to get a second job. If you have a car, you (or he) could drive for Uber or Lyft in your off hours.
