we moved 8 hours away last year and had a baby 9 monthes ago....my friend invited us to his wedding so we would have to pack up the baby drive for 8 or 9 hours just to make it there in time for the wedding...this would mean we would have to leave at about 4am Saturday to be there at 3pm, and then turn around and leave Sunday at noon to make it home again for work on Monday....Am I being selfish, cause I feel really guilty for saying no

I have been dating my boyfriend for 4 ½ years, and we have spent our whole lives together side-by-side…literally. We have been friends since we could talk, and best friends since we were 8. When we realized that our feelings went deeper then just friendship when we were 13, we decided to move forward …and have been dating ever since. We’ve always known that we were going to get married - and made sure that everyone around us knows. For the most part, people don’t have a problem with it…allot of people think we are older then we actually are - we both turned 18 a couple weeks ago. He gave me a diamond promise ring when I turned 16, and we exchanged gold bands last year as a sign of our commitment to each other. Now, we are ready to let the world know that we are serious about spending the rest of our lives together - we want to announce our engagement. On some level, our parents are expecting this (we‘ve talked about this openly for almost 2 years)…but at the same time, we know they want us to wait as long as possible. And as much as we respect that and understand where they are coming from, we want them to know that this is what we both want. We both have full time jobs, and are bringing in enough money to live comfortably with the chance to save. We are both involved with church, and we understand that marriage is going to be hard - one of the hardest things you can do in life. We want to know how to best approach our parents with our decisions. We know it might take some convincing, but we want to do so in the most respectful way possible, without undermining their authority - even though we are both adults. Please, any advice would be appreciated!!!!!

I am 25 years old. I was just granted permanent residency in the U.S.. I have 3 degrees and I speak 3 languages fluently, (one of which is spanish) and yet I cannot seem to find a job, since I don't have any job experience because I was in the U.S. as a student, no one will hire me.not even the simple job offers such as MC D's.
My wife works extra long hours and makes not more than $800 a month, we live in a small university town, so jobs do not pay much. She has one and 1/2 year left to graduate as a R.N. but she cannot afford to cut hours at her job or will starve.
I have been looking in other towns too but no one calls me back.
For the past few weeks I have been comtemplating suicide, I am running out of options with my life, I do not know whatto do anymore, my mother back home call me useless son of a ***** who is not ashamed of being supported by 2 women ( her and my wife). Why live?

I have been dating my bf for about 6 years now...and not once has he talked to me about talking the next step...it seems like I am the only one who wants a future in this relationship... He says he loves me, he says he can't live without me, and he says he knows we will end up together someday...but why won't he ask me to marry him?

He has had a steady job for at least 3 years, and I just graduated from college...I think I am ready for the next step...and he still says he is not ready. How can someone not know if the relationship will progress to marriage or not after 6 years?

There are terms: "financial domination" and "money slave' are a couple. But all it really means is I want a WOMAN to take care of my needs in that area ONLINE and it's proving harder than it might seem. Suggestion? (don't suggest counseling...I like me this way)

Shy and quiet?
Sporty and athletic?
Smart and sassy?
Bitchy Broads?
Trailer Trash?

And why? Spare us the details in the hot and bothered category.

This is very difficult because, of course there are two sides to the token. However it seems that no matter how hard I try, nothing is right in my marriage. Everytime I do something my wife does not like (i.e. cook before she cleans up, watch TV, change the baby's diaper) she gets mad and upset. She calls her mother and repeatedly tells me how horrible I am as a man. I try my best. When I DO clean it is never clean the way she would have done it. The nice and romantic things I do for her go out of the window when she goes on these tantrums....what should I do? Does marriage counseling work? We have one child together and another on the way. I am taking as much as I can, but I am to the point where I am not happy, but will put up with it for my kids...

I know this question doesn't fit this area but since there is a huge response to everything posted here I thought I would just go with it. And since the really stupid questions seem to get the best response, I'm going to go with silly .......

In your opinion...guys and girls and transexuals...do women "poot" or "fart"? Or do you call it something else? (breaking wind, air biscuits, flatulating...etc) Are you embarassed when it happens or do you just giggle and go along with it??

I have been on and off w/ my b/f here lately i have taken him back 3 times after breaking up w/ him. The first time I broke up w/ him b/c we didnt talk much well he promised me he would talk to me more and things would be different if i would go back out w/ him, i didnt take him back right then i waited awhile and realized i wanted to be w/ him, so i asked him if he still wanted to be w/ me and he said yea of course so we got back together, then he cheated on me w/ my best friend so i broke up w/ him again. Well he was like im so sorry it was an accident and i love u and it will never happen again please get back w/ me and i didnt for like a month and then I finally decided to get back w/ him about 4 days ago and since we got back together i havent talked to him, i left him a message and he left me one back later on that day sayin that he has been busy and all this other stuff, pretty much excuses. so what do u think i should do either jus act like nothing happened or break up w/ him?
