When Your Partner Is Not Helping With Wedding Planning

Unfortunately, you cannot force someone to be interested in anything. Willingness is a key component to developing interest. My plea for those in this situation is to not overpersonalize the lack of interest shown so far, but instead communicate what you want directly. You are not without options to address this, but there are effective and ineffective ways to handle it.

Asking Eric: I'm starting to resent my husband because he constantly says no

First off, you don't have to just accept it. Though the method you describe worked, in general, much as it did for ancient Greece's Lysistrata, it's not a perfect tool for negotiation (as that title character in Aristophanes' play would attest). What you're looking for is respect and an equal footing in your partnership. That's something that you deserve. Every relationship, marriages included, is reliant on communication. Communication patterns and strategies vary person to person and relationship to relationship.

Dear Abby: Why should I play holiday host to people who call me a homewrecker?

Please consider a change in attitude. You stated that your husband's children are polite and cordial with you. They may not dislike you as much as fear that getting too close to you might alienate their mother. Your husband should be able to invite his children into the home you share if he wishes, and the atmosphere should be as warm and welcoming as you can manage.

You be the judge: should my wife stop leaving piles of clothes all over the bedroom?

My wife, Mabel, leaves a permanent pile of clothes in our bedroom on a chair. I call it the Monster. It feels as if there are thousands of T-shirts, trousers and sweatshirts always stacked there. I hate it. I don't know how she finds anything. Also, it's a pain: the chair is between the bed and my side of the wardrobe, and sometimes the pile is so huge that it stops me from accessing my own clothes.

Psychology says the people everyone secretly respects never do these 7 things in group settings - Silicon Canals

What I've discovered is that the people who earn genuine, lasting respect aren't doing something special. They're actually not doing certain things that the rest of us can't seem to resist. Psychology backs this up. Research on social dynamics and group behavior reveals that respect isn't earned through dominance or attention-seeking. It's earned through restraint, authenticity, and a quiet confidence that doesn't need constant validation.

First of all, let me put your mind at ease. Having this thought does not make you a villain. It makes you a long-term partnered adult with a pulse. Most people don't wake up one morning and think, "Ah yes, swinging - this will clearly solve everything." Curiosity like this usually shows up more quietly. It's often less about wanting other people and more about wanting something back: playfulness, aliveness, the feeling that sex is still a place of discovery.

Altering your appearance (and perhaps life) because of a bad experience is giving that size queen way too much power. The first thing I want you to consider instead is therapy. Five inches is typically quoted as average in studies, though a recent meta-study of many studies of penis length found that the average has bumped up to six inches. That means even if you aren't quite average, you're within spitting distance of it.
