Family & Relationships - 14 September 2006

I found out who my fahter is after 24 years. The problem I have is getting the nerve to contact him. I have driven towards his house but never made it there. I don't know how to approach a man that I haven't had any contact with my whole life. Any suggestions would help greatly.

I just spent 4 months dating this guy at work behind my girlfriend's back (it wasn't serious or anything). He was seeing another chick, which I knew about. He made out with me a lot, told me I was perfect... and then last night he called me and told me he's with this other chick for life.

Am I a jerk for tryin to do this behind my girl's back (a guy, no less), or is he a jerk for leading me on to think it might go somewhere?

I'm youngish(32), in the best shape of my life, make a great living, own a home, and not to be concieted or arrogant here but i'm attractive. I don't drink anymore and i am always honest and have not or never will cheat. YET, I keep getting **** on by girls, I have dated younger girls the last few times 23-25 trs old and that is my fault. But are girls different know? Is it because I am a nice guy? I am ready to start being a jerk because I sick of being taken advantage of.

Why must they wear tiny little clothing even when it is freezing outside? Why must they paint themselves like little tramps? Why do we dress our little girl children like runway models with too much make up like Jon Benet? Is there any hope for a species that only see's themselves expendable commodities to males?

I went through the Lucinda Basset 15 week program and it has helped me alot but I'm still struggling with it. I'm in a year old relationship with someone I love deeply and anxiety has gotten in the way. We get into situations where I will overreact because I don't know how to communicate my feelings. For example we may misinterperate each other and in the process of trying to explain myself I may become withdrawn. He gets mad because I'm not saying anything then tries to get an answer from me. That's when I'll overreact and scream out something like "leave me alone". He's not perfect either and he knows. Anyone with anxieties have advice? Does anyone living in New York city know of a place where I can get affordable therapy or "good" therapy for this?

to make a long story short, I like two guys...one is the typical bad boy, and I know that he could not be the best choice, but hes so exciting...and the other is just a darling, and I know he would never hurt me. What do you think?

Or do I even bother? I hear differing views all the time and am beginning to believe that I'm dog-meat! It's funny, but I couldn't stand being married and now I can't stand being alone!

Why are people willingly walking around with a large logo on their sweatshirt saying "OLD NAVY" or whatever. As consumers didn't we already pay with money for the item? Why the heck are we giving so many companies free advertising? Same with children's backpacks with a huge Superman, disney or Spongebob....why? Is it me or is this thing annoying? As smart consumers shouldn't we avoid products like this?

I'm 18 and i have a brother. My mom and dad lives in another place (not gonna mention where) and my brother with them. Ever since i was 5, me, my mom and my brother moved to the states but my dad had to remain where he was due to his work. He would come visit us whenever he has time. But this isnt entirely about just my dad, my mom who works when she has a chance. I guess its my parents way of expressing love, we put the food on the table, clothing on you, a place to live... but i think i never registered that as the kind of love i needed. I actually think back everytime im on like the subway or whatever when i see how close and intimate a family relationship can be from little kids on the subway with their parents. and it kicks me right in the ***. I guess its jealousy and i guess im sort of blaming my parents for it.. But i never really took it as an issue just until yesterday.. anyone have this kind of experience as if they arent even close to their families at all?

Has anyone ever seen one of his shows before? My girfriend and I are always on the lookout for fun stuff to do for dates, and we saw that this guy is coming to a comedy club near where we live. She definatly wants to volunteer to be hypnotized, as am I, but we are both worried about the matierial. His website says his stuff is PG-13, but...the comedy club is billing it as an "erotic hypnotist" so..I'm just wondering if anyone out there has seen one of these shows and knows how it is. I really don't want her to get embarassed or humiliated. SO..I'm asking has anyone seen a hypnotist show like this, or This guy in particular. What is your advice, do it or not? Thanks.

I am 20 years old, a full time student.
I have only one immediate family in the US, my brother. we have been living together since i came to the US, three and the half years ago his girlfriend whom he is persently married to joint us.
Things wasn't and has never been working b/w us, before then i would cry and find ways to keep me from worring and i thought we were going to pass all of that as time goes by.
In most cases, i avoided her by being with myself, i know it may sound crazy but thats the true. Just recently i met a men, and i started dating him, within week, i sept at his home, and if he was real, i was going to move in with him unfortunely, he wasn't a good person.
I had never slept at any man's house before (relationship). I did this because i was looking for way to ecaspe my sister- inlaw. Anything that geos on b/w she and myself, i don't tell my brother because i don't want people..
I really want to get out, if anyone have or know anybody who's renting room

I have been with my partner for two years now, and for the past 6mths or more I find it really hard to get (for want of a beter word) sex. I have tried talking to her but she blames the lack of enthusiasim on stress and uni. Any suggestions? Should I just move on (not that i want to, i just want to overcome this)?

i mean, does it effect price? heres my look with having 4 prongs..

With just 4 prongs..

1. doesnt look that tacky
2. less to clean
3.. it shows more diamond with less prong..

with 6 prongs..

1. cant see the diamond...
2. less likely it'll fall out.
3. looks tacky..

am i on the right lines? does it hold more value with more prongs? or should i just let her keep it with 4 prongs or should i go back and get more prongs on? can i put more prongs on???
