Family & Relationships - 3 October 2006

Today when I was riding in to work I was listening to the radio and the dj is talking about a music artist by the name of Akon who is African and how he is a polygamist, which means more than one wife. His father had three wives and he has more than one and many people called in saying that they did like the idea and accepted it as way of life and there were some who were full americans who were raised in a home with two mothers who did not mind him slipping out in the middle of the night to the woman's room. What is the world coming to, is sharing partners now just a normal thing at all?
Please comment and be honest would you or would you not be in polygamy relationship why or why not?

You see, he is older than me and not sure whether to get involved but I think I have come on a little too strong and wondered what to do as I really don't want to miss out on a date/relationship with him. He is a neighbour and we don't know each other well but we have spent a few evenings in and had lots of cuddles. He says he likes me but wants to get to know me and see how it goes but how can I get him to spend time with me? How shall I win him round and make him want me as I know he is attracted to me. Do I play it cool and let him chase me? But what about if he doesn't? This is so hard. I haven't liked a guy this much for ages. Please help all of you!!!! x

My husband of 3 1/2 years dated this girl from his cousin's other side of the family. After he stopped talking to her when we met, she was very upset and I can totally understand. However, we moved out of state weeks after we married because he was sent to Iraq. While he was gone he had the same cellphone number and I would get prank calls for months, finally I changed the number. Last Halloween we attended a party that his Aunt had and this girl was there. The whole night when fine until the very end when I walked outside and her and her sister drove past me calling me names and flicking me off. I was upset. The other day I called his Aunt to see if this girl would be going to the upcoming wedding, and they told me yes, also, told me that they had hired security and that they would be keeping an eye on me. Why me? I did nothing to this person! She told me if anything happens at his wedding that we will be escorted out. My inlaws are going. Do I? If something happens,they will blame me

Last week I asked a bunch of saddo questions:

http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ak.hPRn6eaJn0kDQNCenN.sgBgx.?qid=20060926075706AABxz0h
Obvious answer - If I'm thinking about it then yes

http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApoXO2Tt8R1ybNtf1sT9afwgBgx.?qid=20060926080722AAU4YVs
Obvious answer - If that's how I feel then no

http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AsbY73VOlrTJEKmC987XTeYgBgx.?qid=20060926080819AAVms3K
Obvious answer - if it was really that special then I wouldn't think of ending it.

So I found the courage to do it. And it was surprising amicable but painful.

What does a 45 year lonely man do now?

Do you think they have to many? Do you think that the children are missing out on one-on-one parent time that can be so important? Why do you think motivates them to keep having kids? What thoughts do you have in general on families with LARGE amounts of children? I'm not sure how I feel about it, I don't suppose it really matters, but I do worry that since they have implimented the "buddy system," (older kids each have a younger one to care for) that the older kids might be missing out on some of their childhood. The kids are also homeschooled, and seem very sheltered. Just wondering what other people's opinions were! I know it's highly abnormal, but I guess normal is just a state of mind right? How do you feel?

My girlfriend tries to control me by using sex as part of her tactics. Is that fair?...She wants to have sex when she wants to, not when I want to most of the time.. When we get mad at each other, instead of coming together for sexual healing, she puts on me some kind of "Puzzy probation", to where im not able to have sex with her untils she feels like it...Why do women do this?.. And women wonder why men cheat..Women who denies sex is the main root of why men cheat.. Men figure; "ok, I'm denied sex with the women I love, i guess I'll have sex with someone who shows me attention"... I know a lot of men reading this can relate to me.. You women need to stop trying to control us men with sex...

Not here to judge, but why is it that women don't like nerds? As one myself, I'm not bad looking,but if women find out what I like they would probely run to the hills.

Ever had one of those days where you just wish you'd stayed in bed?

I woke up this morning to a disgusting smell and had to play hunt the cat crap to find it behind the sofa.

I had nothing ironed for work so found a crumpled shirt to iron. In my haste to get the ironing board up, I dropped the hot iron, burning a nice iron print into my carpet.

I got caught be a speed camera on my way to work, so I now await my fine and 3 points.

I checked my online bank statement today and found that due to a mistake with amending a standing order, I was £300 over drawn and I'm not facing charges of god knows how much.

I've had the worst day ever at work and I just feel like giving up and going home back to bed!!

He's had an emotional affair with a woman a his job earlier this year and sometimes still answer his phone for this woman (it's never work related) and once even let her get him lunch thinking that it was fine since they're both cool with the same coworkers. He also feels curious to know what his ex-girlfriend wants when she calls. He's told me that he tries to make sure everyone is happy and that he doesn't want anyone to hate him or anything and that's why he do what he does. He thinks it's fine to continue talking to women even though most of them end's up telling him their in love with him or like him alot and he still continues to talk to them even after he let's them know he loves me. I don't like him talking to other girls because we've been through this story over and over so my question what should I do if he doesn't listen to me? When he do answer for them I often feel like he's pushing me away or carrying to much for their feelings.

He's had a bad year and I want to get him something special, but I'm not particularly well off. He's into motorbikes (racing more than harley davidson type bikes), steam trains, warplanes, DIY, gardening, animals, punk music. ANy ideas would be much appreciated.

I think my sister is in a mentally and abusive relationship with her fiance. He says mean things to her, ugly names, and constantly telling her to leave. Then he begs and pleads and apologizes and says he does it cause he is an alcoholic. 2 weeks ago he put everything she owns on the front porch and told her to leave then he begged her to stay and even brought her stuff in. He told her that he would never tell her to leave again and last night he did. She came home and he wasnt even up for work yet and she had tried calling him 49 TIMES! he left the phone in the kitchen and not by his bed. He told her to get out, to leave, and slammed the phone out of her hand. He has pushed her several times. held her down, and slapped her once. She has nowhere to go and lives in a different state than me...she has 2 sons and a good job so she can't just up and leave and come to live with me. Please help! what should she do? should she leave to make him wise up? she never has before

Girls wear thongs with low hip hugging jeans to show off their undies when bending or squatting. So, why do they get offended when people stare or comment?
Also is it comfortable?
It can't be that comfy cause old folks don't wear them.
