British man in marital breakdown in Utah… what can I do?
Hi
My wife of only 8 months has walked out on me and gone back to her parents.. leaving me in her house. I have only just obtained a job, as I have only just been approved, with my 2 year green card. At first she said she was going to sell the house and she knew it would take me a while to find somewhere else (she would have to sell in the spring, realistically, as the winters are so bad here) so I was fine with that. Now she wants me out.
She is really difficult to talk to, I have asked many times to meet and discuss everything, but she will not respond.
Does anyone know if I even have the right to stay in the matrimonial home? or could she turn up when I am at work and change the locks?
thank you so much for taking the time to consider a strangers problems!
yes, if you read the question you will see i am happy to move out. i said i have just got a job. i dont have the resources to move out now.
if you are going to answer the question, read it first. in fact it appears that as she has left me and i am still here i am entitled to half the house in law, though i am checking this. this question is asking what rights do i have? i am in a foreign country. if you were in the UK you would need to know the law there. i would hope people would be slightly more helpful than just ‘move out’ (doh)

Thanks E&L she has not given me ‘notice’ i dont think just saying she wants her house back is legal notice.
I think she has to set out a time frame.
but thank you for the reasoned answer at least.
do you have a reference for that by the way?
thank you.

You need legal advice. I have just done a quick search and I can’t find anything like an equivalent of the C.A.B. in The States but I wouldn’t have thought it would cost a lot for a local Lawyer to answer your questions. I would have thought that she would need to give you formal notice to leave the property but that’s speculation.

Well technically if the house belongs to her I would just find somewhere else to go. It will make things less complicated. Whether or not she can just kick you out will depend on the laws where you live. If you are considered a tenant or if you have any legal rights to the house. However, I would start to seriously look for another place to stay.

if it’s her house and she is paying for the mortgage, then you should move out. get an apartment.
WonderWoman | Oct 17, 2009

Is your name on the deed to the home? If not then she has given you time to find your own residence and notice that the home is going on the market. A 30 day notice was all that was necessary, especially if you are not paying any rent for your stay. If your not on the deed or any bills for the residence and she’s given you the time since you told you she’s selling the house then yes, she can have you evicted from the premises and change the locks.

What do you guys think about Clash of the Titans?
Does anybody think Clash of the Titans is going to be a good movie? I am dying to see it because I it looks like 300 and Sam Worthington is an awesome actor. Tell me what you guys know about the movie. Thanks.

---

Seeing as this is a remake, I’m not counting on it being any good. Remakes are often crap. For Example: Psycho, The Day the Earth Stood Still, The Invasion…I will say that the original Clash of the Titans(1981) is an epic classic and definitely worth watching. Ido plan to see this new version though, just to see if it is at least half as good as the first. As fir Sam Worthington, I’ve only seen him in one other movie(Avatar). I do know that Liam Neeson(Schindler’s List) is a great actor, as well as Ralph Fiennes(The English Patient).

Original? Cinematic groundbreaker.
Remake? Looks awesome. Not like 300, though. Worthington is really good.
Check out ‘Movie Buzz’ on Youtube. Go to his channel and search his videos for ‘clash of the titans’ and you’ll see every video in which he mentioned it (from announcing it’s creation to three trailers!). The host is Greek, so he’s REEEALLY excited about it.

Does a career have to be down in order to make a sex tape?
I was thinking…. pam anderson made 2 sex tapes. I dont think her career was in a bad spot when she made them, and it didnt seem to affect her later career. Im thinking this because I would LUV to see keri hilson make a sex tape, but since her career is in a very bright spot I dont think she would because it might affect her career. Would it?

Well she made it look like she was the victim.
I’m sure it did nothing but help her so called career.

ive become disenchanted with the world because of a hard life , what can i do?
everyone i know has lead better lives than me, how do i deal with this ?

growing up i was enchanted with life, i was going to do this, and hopefully achieve that. – but because of a lot of misfortunes and now reaching the age of 32 –

i dont feel those things anymore , the world to me has turned out to be disappointing in my experience – and ive achieved nothing i wanted so far .

im 32 , have aged badly in my face, have minor body disfigurements through accidents years ago, a crooked little finger, 2 missing teeth at the front lower bottom and -

i have to say that my life has turned out rather disappointingly so far . suffered injustices, adversity’s , made critical mistakes , squandered away years , been into prison 11 years back, have a long psychiatric history , behaved in a violent conduct years ago – and as such of all this, i have missed out on a NORMAL life . a life of ; – building relationships with people , being employed , getting qualifications and most other things – the things that matter.

i have obviously survived up to now but its been very difficult to say the least –

the scenario now, more or less is : ive lived alone for 6 years in a 1 bedrooom flat on disability, owning ‘ few ‘ material belongings – getting help for my difficult psychological problems , accept my diagnosis , hoping to get another test to see if i have anxiety disorders – which i suspect – i see a support worker weekly , which makes me feel like a RETARD because im a 32 year old adult – im hoping to get psychotherapy but have to do the support worker appointments first.

it really has been pretty tough for me . – ive survived yes , only through inner strength – but ive achieved NOTHING i wanted to do – and got nothing i hoped for.

i feel insecure about my future , empty, lonely , and a sense of profound loss –

when i browse facebook and see all my old class mates that have done well, seemed to have lived average normal lives , most of them have had partners , have LIVED , travelled , have kids , are in work, enjoying their lives – one pretty blonde girl i remember ‘ louise ‘ – she had a crush on me in school ( back when i was cute and flawless ) – now lives in australia , has a good job -
i saw a picture of her with a big happy smile holding what looked like her little boy , she had sunglasses on and was standing on a sunny street that looked like ‘ ramsey street ‘ from the show ‘ neighbours ‘ – with a blue sky and fluffy clouds in the background.

i felt like crying , seeing reflected back at me the life i always wanted , hoped for , but never got .

a deep sense of loss and sadness engulfing me , in my dark , one bedroomed apartment.

the only things that keep me going are my ‘ remote ‘ dreams , the hope of attaining a good paying computer job, to build meaningful relationships then finally to move to a quiet coastal village near a seaside town somewhere.

but to me, those goals seem impossible. can anybody feel my sorrow here ? and just ….what will i do type despair ?

---

I feel like a failure compared to all my friends too – I live on disability and it sucks. I know how it feels to feel like you haven’t accomplished anything.

Unfortunately, there’s nothing you can do about the past. Are you able to attend school? That might be a good place to start. Or if you have your degree, look into career counseling.

Necessary Roughness (1991) IMDB rating: 5.50 Plot: Paul Blake is a 34-year-old farmer who was once a star high-school football player, one of the best quarterbacks in Texas. Paul was forced to drop out of sight when his father died, leaving Paul with the family farm to run. Now, after a 16-year absence, he’s lured back to football by his former coach, Wally “Rig” Riggendorf. Rig has recently been hired as assistant coach to head coach Ed Gennero, who has been hired by Texas State University to turn around the Texas State Armadillos — a team that was placed on probation for corruption, and university president Carver Purcell wants results as soon as possible. The team that Gennero and Rig assemble includes a military fanatic who admires General Schwarzkopf, a physics instructor, a swift martial-arts champ named Eric “Samorai” Hansen, Andre Krimm, and a female kicker named Lucy Draper. On the field, Paul does his best to get himself back into shape, while he has to overcome the awkwardness he feels about attending college classes at his age. And Paul finds himself attracted to journalism professor Suzanne Carter. Paul, Gennero, also have to deal with Dean Phillip Elias, who wants to scrap the university’s football program, and the Armadillos are out to beat the almost impossible odds of winning at least one game this season.

The definition of absolute evil?
There is a place, that is a nursery school, but it has a nasty secret.

There are halls of absolute darkness, darker than black, darker than a black-hole, darker than hell.
Small children have been known to walk down these corridors into this darkness; then the staff would hear a blood-curdling shriek, run to rescue them and would find no trace of them when they turned on the light. They would never be found again.

There were nasty stories floating about regarding these corridors.
Stories of hidden trap doors, and mysterious holes that would appear and disappear in the floor.

People would have dreams about walking down these corridors, and falling into pits.
There they would find molten lava at the bottom, and fire that burned with temperatures of infinity degrees centigrade; where small children would burn for eternity.
This was a place know as ‘The place!"
One you fell in, you cannot get out.

Some maintenance men were one day decorating the corridors one July afternoon, only to find a pile of ash and a babies bottle covered in blood.
Then the staff realized what the screams were of the disappearing children; it was them falling into a pit of fire through a hole that disappears when you turn on the light. They will be screaming in agony of fires of infinity degrees centigrade in another dimension, for the rest of eternity.

What do you think to that TRUE story?

Thinking about breastfeeding but not 100% decided yet?
At first I wasn’t even going to think about breastfeeding because I get horrible migraines but during pregnancy they have been under control with acupuncture and no meds. So my husband and I talked about it and we decided that I would try it until I got a migraine and then I should start taking my medication again so I can care for baby and not be in bed with a migraine for a week.

My plan if I decided to breastfeed was to nurse during the day but at night offer her a bottle that way my husband could help and bond with her too feeding her. But last night we went to a breastfeeding class at our hospital and they said while baby is in the hospital and if we are planning on breastfeeding they will not allow baby to have a bottle or even a pacifier & once we take baby home we shouldn’t give her a bottle or a pacifier for at least her first 2 weeks of life. But I see on shows like "Bringing Home Baby" that the hospital will tell moms to bottle feed until their milk comes in & that kind of things. So I guess my question is did you both nipple & bottle feed? Did it work out? Did your baby get confused? Because if I can’t bottle feed her at night I don’t think I want to nurse because I want my husband to be able to help as much as possible and he agrees he wants to be able to have that bonding experience with her as well.
I have been off all migraine medication since finding out I was pregnant. I have an appointment with my neurologist on 2/22. The main reason for this appointment is to get safe medicine for baby because my previous medication was not safe for me to use if I was pregnant or breastfeed.

Ariel P | Feb 05, 2010

---

If you do anything, please don’t listen to advice like "bottle feed ’til your milk comes in". Your milk will come in when it needs to; until then you will have colostrum which is everything your baby needs. Have you asked about migraine medicines that are safe to take while nursing?

Migraine Medication and Breastfeeding:
http://www.kellymom.com/health/meds/migr aine-meds.html
Haruhi | Feb 05, 2010

---

A few basic points:

1. You can take your meds and breastfeed. While you don’t say what meds you use, the vast majority of medications are safe to use while breastfeeding. If you are on prevnentive that is unsafe, you can probably switch to something else for the duration. You can also continue to get your accupuncture treatments if they are working for you.

2. You do not want to give a bottle to a newborn or very young baby if you are planning to breastfeed. Bottles can cause nipple confusion (baby ‘forgets’ how to nurse because she sucks differently on the bottle) or bottle preference (the bottle is easier, so some babies get lazy at the breast). I’m not familiar with the show you mention, but yes, sadly there are nurses and doctors out there who are staggeringly uneducated about breastfeeding, and give dreadful advice to new mothers. Bottles in the hospital almost guarantee that baby will be exclusively bottle fed within a few weeks.

If you want/ need to introduce a bottle at some point (so you can be away from your baby from time to time, or so daddy can ‘help’ (see below)), 4-6 weeks is a sensible time to introduce it — early enough that baby isn’t set in her ways, but late enough that your supply is well established and baby is nursing well.

Having daddy give bottles to ‘help’ and ‘bond’ is not the greatest of ideas. If you go all night without nursing, your supply WILL suffer. So that means that in order for daddy to give a bottle at 2 a.m., YOU need to get up at 2 a.m. to pump. How does that help? There are many ways that daddy can help and bond that don’t make more work for you, or put your baby’s health at risk. (Even small amounts of formula have some risk, and if your supply does suffer, you may find yourself weaning completely, and exclusive formula feeding definitely has risks for your baby.)

Rather than having daddy give bottles at night, he can bring you the baby, put her back to bed, rock/bathe/walk/cuddle/dress/diaper baby. And if lack of sleep is a migraine trigger for you, definitely keep baby close by your bed. If you just have to reach over to latch her on, you’ll all go back to sleep much more quickly. (I wouldn’t co-sleep if your meds make you extra sleepy, but if they don’t, you could also consider keeping baby in bed with you. That’s even easier.)
Pippin | Feb 05, 2010

---

It is definitely best to wait until at least 2-4 weeks to introduce the bottle. And before your milk comes in you have colostrum which is all the baby needs at that point in time. I have no idea what hospital would say to bottle feed until your milk comes in. If you introduce the bottle too soon the baby could start rejecting the breast, but if you introduce the bottle too late the baby will have no interest in the bottle and will only breast feed. You just have to find the right timing.
Due 3/17/10 with Arianna | Feb 05, 2010

---

It is true that your baby could get confused. The big deal more has to do with the two different sucking styles that come with getting milk from bottle verses from the breast. The babies tongue has to work differently to get milk from you. If you are afraid that you will be too tired….I would recommend having dad wake up a few times during the night and change the baby and bring baby to you …then burp baby and put baby back to bed. You can nurse and still be mostly asleep. In time you can pump and put milk in a bottle for dad to feed the baby….I promise he will have his bonding time too =)

Good luck and congrats on the baby on the way.

I find BFing to be a wonderful experience.

"But I see on shows like "Bringing Home Baby" that the hospital will tell moms to bottle feed until their milk comes in & that kind of things"

Are you freaking serious? What a dumb ass thing to tell new mums to do – that is the WORST thing to do. Breastfeeding works on a supply and demand – the more your baby nurses, the more milk is made. If you start offering a bottle over the breast, that tells your breasts to make LESS milk, therefore diminishing your supply.

I was told to wait 6 weeks before offering a bottle – to allow breastfeeding to be established and to avoid nipple confusion. It’s a heck of a lot easier to eat from a bottle than a breast, so your baby runs the risk of favouring the bottle.

There are LOADS of other ways for hubby to bond with the baby – it boggles me how people assume that feeding the baby is the only way. He can bathe her, sing to her, rock her, bathe with her (to get the skin to skin contact).

Breastfeeding is without a doubt the best thing you can do for your baby. If you start offering bottles in the hospital, or soon after she is born, you run a very high risk at failing at breastfeeding – simply because your breasts won’t be getting the signals to produce more milk.

If you want to be successful breastfeeding – forget about bottles at all, or for at LEAST 6 weeks. Are there no meds you can take while nursing anyway?
