Family & Relationships - 20 June 2006

There's only two of us. We're both girls. I'm 5 years older than her. I'm 25 and I was the one who gave her allowance since first year college but she's always mean and uncourteous to me. It always hurt my pride coz she never respects me. She even yells and swear at me. I always wanted to ignore her totally and leave her. I've been suffering her meanness.

I have a huge dilemma in my life that's causing alot of stress. My question is a bit long, but I need some honest answers. Here's a bit of background information and timeline to help understand the situation:

Back in 2000, I started dating Lawrence and was introduced to his friends including his friend Brad, whom I also quickly became close friends with and we spent alot of time together. Three months later, I moved into a 5-bedroom house with these people and I set-up my younger sister with Brad and she came by to visit often.
A few months later, Lawrence and I broke-up, causing all friends to basically 'pick sides'. At the same time, Brad had been invited to go along with my sister and parents on holiday and they left shortly after the break-up.
No one wanted to move out. Lawrence wasn't speaking to me at all, causing his friends to take his side and not speak to me either. There was alot of tension among everyone and I used to call my parents and cry to them about every detail. This basically caused my parents to hate these friends and they wanted my sister to break-up with Brad.
By summer 2001, my sister is still dating Brad and moves in with him, although my parents won't have anything to do with him. Brad and my sister fought alot, mostly over each other's differences and spending too much time. She was too needy and expected too much of him and he became angry and sometimes said mean things. She didn't really have any other close friends and only had our parents to talk to everytime she had a fight with Brad, therefore fueling the fire of dislike towards him. By September, Brad and I are friends again and we all spend time together.
A few months pass, my sister breaks-up with Brad and moves back to our parents place and buys a car. She goes back to school full-time and dates other people. Brad and I are still friends, since I refuse to pick sides. Brad and my sister just weren't suited to each other and were better apart, in my opinion. I don't even know how they stayed together as long as they did without killing each other.
Months pass, Brad and I start dating, but keep it a secret from my family just for awhile until I can figure out how to break it to my parents since they still won't have anything to do with him.
Later, I move-in with Brad, and finally tell my family. My sister never had a problem with he and I being together, she was over him long before she even broke-up with him.
Between then and last year, I’ve spent almost all family holidays with my parents and apart from Brad, since to me, even though he and I live together he is still just my boyfriend and these are 'family events'. It's not like he's my husband or even a common-law partner. This bothers him more than he let on at first. I spent this past Christmas and Easter with him and his family since we've been together so long and it's important to him.
Over the last 3 months, he has begun talking about he and I breaking-up because he sees that we have no future since my parents still haven’t had anything to do with him. My sister is engaged and getting married in August and he isn't invited and he feels left out of everything (he is her ex, though!! I wouldn't want any of my exes at my wedding!!). I really want things to work with him and recently I approached this subject with my parents who have agreed to have dinner with him and I sometime and allow him the chance to prove he’s not the bad guy they think he is. They want to hear an apology from him. I’m afraid that he has already given up on the relationship and refuses to suffer a bruised ego by apologizing to my parents. He refuses to believe that things could ever be okay between him and my parents.
I am otherwise happy with Brad, I love him and I want to spend the rest of my life with him. He treats me like any normal boyfriend would, and we do have our fights but we get along better than most of the other couples we know. Is there a way to make this work? Now that my parents are willing to make the attempt to get along, how do I convince him that apologizing to them will likely work wonders?

Ladies! Why is it so hard for some of you to ask a guy/man out?
Is it because you think that it's a mans place to ask, or is there another reason.Please answer seriously.

And I have heard of statements like this:
"Sometimes the loneliest place is in bed with someone who does not love you."

While out with my wife, I have occassionally been caught gazing upon another attractive woman. Is it wrong to find someone else attractive or just admire someone's legs?

Iv'e been dating a guy (the love of my life) for two and a half years now. A few months ago he started changing completely. He's lost alot of weight, he has the most outragous mood swings and if I ask him whats going on he gets angry & yells and walks out on me. He gets annoid if I phone him and he's always angry at me, mostly for stupid little things that happened a LONG time ago. I love him with all of my heart and I'll do anything for him. Does any one know what I could do to win him back or atleast give me an idea as to why his treating me this way? My life depends on this, so please make it a good one.

Well i have 2 best friends.And they comepletely ignore me.When i talk to them they act like i'm not around and that makes me kind of angry and stressed at the same time. Here what they do: They talk to each other and ignore me like i'm invisible. But when they talk to me they act like i'm visible. If i tell them i don't wanna be their friend then i won't have anyone else to talk to cuz i'm kinda shy and not good around people.SO WHAT SHOULD I DO?????????

Maybe it's just me and being used to the long relatonship I was in, I could ask for a BJ and simply get it. I thought it would be same after the date on Saturday especially after we had drinks and we were going to bed after kissing and playing. Ladies: How would have you reacted, was I wrong to ask. What would have you done?

How do you get through to a teen, when you need to lecture them or your try to calmly talk to them, their defensive response is: "Quit yelling at me!" Example" My teen has been harrassed at school by bullies. She is a bully herself. She dresses like a bully. My 1 rule is no red. (I chose my battles) So she wears black, but it makes her look hard, the school and I have told her this. She doesnt think its a problem, but when I look at her I tell her it gives me the impression, "come on- mess with me. She says she wants to change but when I try and talk to her its the "Quit bitching!" My other teens do the same thing, when I talk about school or homework, its "Stop! Your being annoying!" I could be in the most monotone voice and they still think I am yelling. How do you let kids hear the importance of our lectures? Any ideas? I feel like they don't respect me when they cut or shut me off! I know they are teens and its typical, BUT they still need to listen to me with respect.

The other day I was talking to this girl that is a friend of the family. While we were talking, she did a lot of leaning against me - shoulder to shoulder. She had never done this before so naturally I was stunned, and I wondered why. Later, as I was sitting waiting for someone, she came and sat beside me. She did not say anything, but she just sat there shoulder to shoulder for about a minute. We said little over that minute; then she got up when her family started heading our way. What is going on?

I always wanted to have a lot of children and also to foster some kids. I was homeless for a period of time when I was 16 and it was really hard. I wanted to offer a safe place to kids that found themselves in the same situation. My husband had 3 kids when we met and I had one, then we have one together. He decided he did not want any more children and had a vasectomy. He also will not allow any fostering or adopting as he just doesn't really like kids. No patients for them. I had to give up my dream of fostering and having more children. What sort of compromises have you made or what kind of things have you had to give up?
FYI- I love my husband. His children are older, grown and gone.
Love & Light
Sharon

Well I'm just wondering because I'm Satanic and haven't had any problems ever getting a date, but what do you think? Would it be too weird or outside of your religious beliefs? Why or why not?
