COMPETING WITH PARTNER'S DEAD WIFE Competing With Partner’s Dead Wife. Samantha Rodman Whiten — February 26, 2015. 8. Reader Jealous of the Dead writes: I’m in a bit of a difficult place right now and I’m not sure how I feel. I have a lovely partner that is more than I could ever want or need. But I am jealous of his late wife. DR. PSYCH MOM: BLOGAPIST Dr. Psych Mom: Psychology, parenting, relationships, sex.

WHY DOESN'T MY HUSBAND INITIATE SEX AND HOW CAN I CHANGE For every woman who is frustrated by their husband’s constant sexual initiation, there is a woman who feels jealous of that dynamic.Despite popular media’s caricaturing of men as constantly initiating and women as the fickle gatekeepers of sex, there are plenty of couples where the woman feels sexually rejected.Just as being the lone initiator hurts men, women who are constantly having to HOW DO I PARENT MY DISRESPECTFUL 19 YEAR OLD SON? Reader At A Loss writes, We have 3 boys: 21, 19 and 15. We always felt we lucked out because the teenage years weren’t bad. Now our 19 year old is doing what he should have tested us with when he was in high school but he’s 19 so we feel like we can’t do too much. WHAT DOES A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP LOOK LIKE FOR SOMEONE A reader asked me to write about what a healthy relationship might look like with someone with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Since the hallmarks of BPD include mood volatility, self-harm, abandonment issues, ups and downs in relationships, and intolerance of aloneness, you can imagine that it is difficult for individuals with BPD to find and maintain fulfilling relationships. 6 REASONS THAT YOUR HUSBAND PLAYS DEVIL'S ADVOCATE A common problem that I see in couples counseling is a lack of empathy between partners. Sometimes, individuals just lack empathy entirely, as in Narcissistic Personality Disorder, but more often, both partners are capable of empathy, but something is going awry in the way that they communicate with one another.A common pattern that I see is when a husband (can be either gender, but I more HOW TO GET YOUR WIFE TO TALK ABOUT YOUR SEX LIFE 1- I do not feel comfortable with our sex life as it is, and. 2- You don’t seem to care. See how similar that is? The key to understanding why your wife won’t talk with you about sex (or won’t anymore, as the case may be), and getting her to engage on this topic in a team-oriented way is empathy. When you see that she feels exactly as you THE CONDESCENDING PARTNER The condescending partner is trying, either consciously, or, more commonly, subconsciously, to show the other partner that s/he is wrong, crazy, silly, or unintelligent. Over time, the condescended-to partner can suffer from lowered self-esteem and can begin to believe that s/he is in fact not as smart as their spouse or as other peoplein general.
WHAT MEN SAY IN BED AND WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN 11. “Get in bed and don’t talk back.”. Translation: “We just saw this and had a couple of beers, so I’m trying something different. Don’t slap me.”. 12. “You’re the best I’ve ever been with.”. Translation: “You’re in the top 10, and the one I love, so this white lie is good for everyone.”. There you go! AM I TOO STRICT WITH MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER? For you, adolescence may have been a constricting and frustrating time. Seeing your daughter enjoying her life and her developing sexuality likely sparks many subconscious feelings, including anxiety, anger, frustration, and even envy. These are all completely normal and could be productively explored in counseling. MY HUSBAND IS BIPOLAR BUT WON'T TAKE MEDS My Husband Is Bipolar But Won’t Take Meds.

Speaking of discounting it, it is very easy to think that your wife should “just suck it up” and, say, go to the gym or wake up earlier, or stop snapping at the kids when you yourself have never struggled with severe, or even moderate, depression. It is imperative that you assume that your wife is trying to do the best she can whenunder
ESTRANGED FROM MY FATHER AND STEPMOTHER Estranged From My Father and Stepmother. It is very difficult to be estranged from a parent, particularly during the holidays or when a milestone happens. But sometimes estrangement can be the only way that an adult child feels they can handle a toxic situation. Conflict with parents is particularly rampant after divorce and remarriage. WHY YOU FEEL SHY OR AWKWARD IN BED WITH YOUR HUSBAND Many women I work with have a genuine desire to have a great sex life with their husbands, but they feel shy or awkward when their husband ask them to go outside their comfort zone (in any of these ways).There are many reasons that you might feel uncomfortable, anxious, or constricted in the bedroom, having to do with your own past, your current issues, your relationship, and your husband. CLASS DIFFERENCES IN MARRIAGE Fights may have been out in the open, versus behind closed doors. The higher class partner was often raised in a more stable home, with two married parents. If there was a divorce, it didn’t significantly decrease the child’s sense of stability, and conflict may have been secret. The child of more affluent parents believes that college is WHY DOES MY HUSBAND IGNORE ME WHEN I AM UPSET? 1. Reader Abandoned When Upset writes, When my husband and I fight, it’s like the sadder and more hurt I get, the more he retreats into his own world.
