Family & Relationships - 21 July 2006

Ive been married 12 years, am 31, two kids 11 and 8. I work 40-55 hrs/wk and my husband works 60-70. His 2 days off a week are spent golfing,hunting,fishing, poker tournaments etc. He says we can make marriage work with seeing eachother 15 hrs a week. I say no, Ive done it too many years and he needs to reset his priorities. Ive explained how hurtful it is that his free time is spent with everyone else but me and the kids. He says he loves me more than life, will do anything for me, cant live without me yet cant give up his free time to spend with me. Many years this has gone on. Ive threatened divorce and he begs me not to because he loves me and we can make this work. He doesnt get it. Im at the point of divorcing him because I would rather be alone than married and alone all the time. Im young, do I stay longer or get it over with

when your boyfriend says..

"w/e i dont care, do whatever the ***** you want, i dont care, w/e"

does it mean that he no longer cares about you, and no longer wants this relationship or what. please help me.

We've only been married since June 3, 2006 but it seems like all he wants to do is play his stupid video game, hardly ever pays attention to me and never surprises me with anything or does anything sweet for me. I am depressed about it and to the point where I already know the rest of my life will be like this. I don't know if I should divorce him or stay and just put up with it.

I made some life-choices as an adult. My father has not approved of these choices, which I believe is why he hasn't talked to me. We used to have a very good relationship, one where I could tell him anything. I suffer from Bi-Polar disorder, and have been diagnosed here and there with several other mental conditions. I know I don't have the most soundest of judgement. But I still feel like I need my dad, like I need at least one person I can talk to and trust that they aren't out to get me.

I know I'm a failure in my dad's eyes. I know I've screwed up my life according to him.

My questions:

Is it wrong of me to still want to talk to my dad?

When a parent disowns their child, don't they usually say "I want nothing to do with you!" or do they just fall out of touch?

Any ideas of how to present myself to my dad, to try to repair our relationship??

Any help, advice, or personal stories would be Greatly Appreciated.

I'm a Big Guy and single. I try to keep myself up.( clean cut, nice looking clothes, positive attitude, a little shy) I know women but they are either married, taken, or lesbian. i try to meet new ppl and instead of just telling me they don't like the big guys, they tell me bs like, im trying to get back with my ex, i dont want a relationship, etc., etc. but then they are with someone totally different. so i ask the women, are big guys still in, or are we extinct?

If you could turn back time, what era would you most like to live in and why? What is a bout that time that you feel would be more to your liking? This could be a time that you have already lived thru or a time in the distant past, that you have only heard or read about.

Ex and I was together and broke up last week. Agreed to be friends. The break up was not one-sided but a mutual decision. Hemoving back to home state, but I had to tell him my period was late. He said if I was pregnant he would stay, I told him no I still wanted him to go back was I wrong? I will not be sure for another two weks when I get a blood test done, my uring test all came back neg, but dr told me it could be because it is too early to tell and my hormone levels are low.

I kept constant contact and tried desperately to see her but her mother remarried and it was difficult.

I'm having problems with my relation with my boyfriend. I feel that I love him more than my self so I always try to make he feels good and I totally forget about me. But the more time we stay 2gether he changes more and stay away from me. I'm afraid that he has another girlfriend and dont want to tell me.
Why he is changing so much? Am I the problem? What I am doing wrong for me do not receive his love back?
I love him a lot and I dont want to break up with him!

What should I do?? I need help!!

My husband and I live together but we're separated. We don't speak to each other unless its regarding our son. I miss him and the things we do on the regular basis. I don't want to give in because I have done anything wrong. He accuse me of cheating on him because my stupid ex from many years ago called out now where. He refuses to hear or talk about it. What I do? It tearing me apart.

I've met a guy through Yahoo personals and we've been messenging for while and decided to meet up this weekend. The chats we've been having are pretty casual and flirty and I'm afraid I won't live up to expectations because face to face I'm pretty shy when I first meet people but on messenger I'm confident. Any tips from personal experience etc would be grateful!

My 9 year old daughter's father is a deadbeat, and lives out of state. He wants to enforce the long distance visitation agreement, but I think she is unsafe there. Her half brothers babysit her, they watch her shower, lock her in the basement, and she told me that they unzipped their pants and told her to "touch them". We are fighting the visitation, but he lied in court and said that she always has a babysitter. How can I fight this?
