Absolutely panicking because I am going to have to either work late tonight and succeed before the end of the year or make it to a dinner that I agreed to got to with my wife (in a few hours) that is just couples so she would be stag without me. But I will be in a reallly bad situation if I don't have these things prepped for tomorrow approvals so that they can be finished up in time. Please help and if you see this too late just tell me my marriage won't end either way?

Thank you all, ok so update I ended up calling her and kind of explaining how worried I was and I even admitted that I tried to get advice because I didn't want to leave her alone but am freaking out at work and she was really understanding and decided to skip it because we wouldn't reallly be missed thaaat much. I really feel so happy about it and I'm glad I just fessed up. Had no idea that would be her answer...

Hope you were able to do whatever you needed to do. If you had to save your job by missing a party, I am sure your wife understood. I think having you in Dutch at work just to eat little wieners and drink bad wine would be worse on the marriage than a broken dinner date.

Does your wife know? And does this assignment HAVE to be completed tonight? If the latter is yes then you should tell your wife. A decent, emotionally healthy, and loving spouse will understand in this situation you have to work late. But if you can get away with turning in your assignment another day then go to that dinner. We’re pretty much stats to businesses and they know employees are catching on, so don’t feel ashamed to put your relationship over work

Exactly! If this is happening all the time though then I think it’s time re evaluate the job you’re at. If this happens sparingly I’m sure she will understand!

I think you should’ve ditched work and gone with your wife. She sounds like a keeper though

Do you think you and your significant other should have similar personalities? My significant other and I are doing long distance and I feel like when I FaceTime with him, I emote more and show interest by asking more questions but from his end, he doesn’t always have a reaction or just nods, and it makes me feel like he’s uninterested. On his end he sees it as he’s comfortable.

still there’s not a single good word spoken for me from her side. we do not have any understanding between us, i come from a conservative middle class family, even though i earn well and life is not difficult for me, i live way below my belt.
She and her family has threatened me and my family, that if things don’t fix between us then i will have to bear the consequences, they are rich and wealthy, they will implicate fake legal case against me and my family.

Last night I went over to my friends house (she has 2 kids, 2 and 4 yo). She and her husband were asking me about my pregnancy and planning. And were asking what I’ve prepped to date. I’m only 13w2 days so I think it’s way to early for buying stuff, but I did mention we hired a baby nurse for when the baby comes. My friend completely berated me, short of calling me a bad mom already, saying “what is she going to do all day? Don’t you want to bond with your child?”. I’m so upset by this.

I moved out& rented an apt for 2 mos before signing a lease on the house I live in now. This house has a serious big problem& I've found mold here too. Continued below
