Family & Relationships - 22 June 2006

They have joint custody. The father is by far the better parent, but the child was placed with the mother because that is what is typically done. The father has a more stable home - stable income, better parenting styles, actually teaches hygiene, etc. We've tried for full custody, but the social worker didn't want to split the child from her half-sister that she lived with (though, she stated the father was the better parent). Her mother complains about the burden she is, so we're wondering if we should give another custody battle a go.

A friend of mine is VERY nice and sensitive, but he never stands up to his wife - she's always right. And he's afraid to tell her anything that might upset her because he doesn't want to lose her. I've told him that he needs to work on his self-esteem already, but I think he's not manly enough to stand up to her. I know he loves his wife a TON, but I feel bad that she's always walking over him. She's my good friend, too - and she's a nice person, but VERY independent and I know she's not happy in their relationship and wants him to be more assertive... UGH!!!! HELP!

I never go through with leaving, what is worse he doesn't even beg me to stay. He shows me the door with a smile and when I don't go through it..he says" I knew it, you won't ever leave" meaning he can't ever get rid of me. He is a good father without a doubt. But I am property, like a pet..provides basic things to live. How did I get here?

I've been dating a much older man in LA, I'm in NYC for the past 4 years. He has a non-profit edu. buisness out there & is a very much in demand DJ...A few months ago he said he'll be moving here in September because the club he DJ's at is creating a nyc version, now it turns out that the club thing out here is gonna take alot longer than expected & therefore he can't move just yet because he won't have a way of making money...We've had this conversation many times & he keeps telling me this year ( which may not happen) But my question is, is it worth sticking around even though he helps me financially because I still live at home, gives me anything I want, but at the same time he won't let me visit his home in LA, he visits me & we only stay in hotels....What do you think because my mind keeps running wild about all this crap!!

I saw in the dictionary that it says only a woman who is engaged to be married is called a fiancee. So what is a guy called?

The man that i recently started dating has a 4 month old with his ex g/f. I have a 10 month old so i understand that he is going to go and see his daughter. BUT, his ex wants him back and has made in known. He says he doesn't want to be with her anymore but as a woman I know the types of things I would probably do to try to get an ex back. Now some men, not all, will sleep with the girl because he knows he can. At this point he hasn't given me any reason not to trust him but it crosses my mind when I know he's over there. Which causes problems for us because he thinks I'm accusing him of something. I try not to make it a big deal but at times I don't want to do "certain things" with him because the thought of him being with his ex. So of course he gets a little upset. Should I take his word that he's not doing anything over his ex's house but visit with his daughter or should I expect the worst and hope for the best. Am I a fool if I trust him completely?

I like a guy. We're separated for the summer so we'll see how it works out later, but he's an avid smoker.. my friend and I went into a building where he was smoking; we came out like 10 or 15 minutes later and he was still going through cigarettes. He isn't like that all the time but he is pretty dependent (I think he started because he's always stressed out). Would you date a smoker? It's not only the smell and stuff, it's the psychological aspect; do they get crazy easily if they can't smoke? Do you really want to deal with someone addictive? Etc.. I need guidance guys!

I would thank you if you'll describe as much subjects as u can.
My intuition says that the subjects (topics) should be REALLY LONG (say ~15-20 minutes of talking) but i really cant find what can I speak about...

The thing is - WHAT to say to begin 'performing'... if u know what i'm sayin...
