Is this PND or something else ?

Each month I have been getting really 'black' periods which last anywhere between 1 and 2 weeks at a time. I am very moody, grumpy hugely emotional and generally really not a nice…

divorce after more than five years but he is abroad...what to do?
oh my goodness, I can't believe I've only just discovered this part of the forum! It just goes to prove that every question I ever want to ask is on MSE. Anyway... My husband and I split up in November 2003. We agreed to try and divorce as cheaply as possible, so we didn't do anything about it at the time. A few months…

Do you like your family telling you what to get them for presents?
My husbands family have for the last few years have been telling us what they want (not would like) for birthdays and xmas while this can be helpful as it does get hard to keep thinking of things to get people i find it a bit rude.

Awkward situation with a work collegue...
I've been at my place of work for about 18mths, it's a satallite for somewhere I spent the last 18yrs working. About 1/2 of the staff where I am now I know through them being at the previous place.

How do you feel about your OH?
I know it's difficult, but can you try and sum it up for me? I am very nearly walking out on my 5 year relationship. We are married, own our own house and have a 1 year old daughter but I just don't think I love him. He can be a bit lazy around the house, speaks to me in ways I don't like sometimes but fundamentally he's a…

Do you need decree absolute to remarry?
Hope this question makes sense. I was married many years ago and have no idea when I got divorced and no longer have any papers to prove I got divorced. If I remarry, which is on the cards in the not too distant future, do I need divorce papers to prove that I am not already married? Does anyone on here know? Thanks.
