Family & Relationships - 17 October 2006

Married 19 years, daughter of 17 . Husband 13 years younger. Marriage always turbulent as his intentions and plans were not made clear and he had aggressive manner. He had control of finances. I had to fight to have control of my earnings and 5 years ago he conceded, but I suspect because he was then earning more. Our relationship went downhill. He accused me of subotaging our family's future by keeping my earnings although I paid half of EVERYTHING. Last year found he was cheating, he said it was because I was not committed to marriage, I did not trust and value him, he left the house 8 months after, bought himself an apartment, said he needs to feel free as he is not the marrying kind, felt suffocated by marriage to me as I have baggage and am not free to go wherever he would like. Now he is back weekends, takes me out, is nice to me, says he wants to change, but wants to but holiday home and house for his mother. The new him is great, but how can I trust him?

If it isn't hard enough to buy a present for someone!!!

Its my boyfriends birthday soon and i want to make it really special so im taking him out for dinner, we are being picked up in a limo!! I have bought him some clothes and aftershave but i want to get him something REALY SPECIAL.

Girls what have you bought your man that they was realy grateful for?

And lads what would you realy like? And i mean within reason, no sports cars or sex toys and stuff.

My limit is probably about £200, he likes cricket and rugby so i have thought about shirts and tickets.

THERE MUST BE SOMETHING!!! Thank you everyone!!! xx

I was once friends with a goth. Her name was Heather. The last time ive spoken to her was several months ago before she moved away. I just thought that its ironic to find a black guy who grew up in a black neghborhood becoming friends with a goth white girl. we were real kool though.

As a man whats the right age to marry ? I read a Steve Jobs speech where he said 32 is the right age to marry . He says thats when you really know who you are ...
I believe 30+ is the right age to marry , when did you marry or when are planning to marry ?

PS :I am pissed off with people who marry at 25-27 or earlier , not because they are married but the pressure on me to get married by that age :-)

Cheers

Theres This guy I really really really like. I am wondering if he likes me. I am to shy to ask but I think there are some signs there but I don't know if its just me wanting him so much. These are the things that I have noticed.
-We spend lots of time together(never use to)
-He has brought me flowers(for no reason)
-I will go over to his house to watch a movie and he will sit right next to me but he leans towards me.
-He touches me a lot when he is talking like on the arm or back
-He has come up behind me and started giving me a massage on my back for no reason
-He looks into my eyes a lot

I don't know if these are signs that he likes me or if I'm just kidding myself??????

Hi--I am in an ongoing bet here-- GIRLS- who would you rather be with- a 30 year old handsome male doctor who is fit with a nice body and makes 200000 a year, or a 28 year old hot male model who is buff and makes 25000 a year? Please base answer off just this info--nothing about personality--just if you had to pick one from what is said above

The man is 12 years older, married twice, was her councilor at a "not to be named" youth club for 5 years (age 13-18). The club was very active with outdoor activities, camping, mountian climbing, hiking, and boating. She spent one weekend a month and 6-8 week long trips every year with the club for 5 years. He is the only man she has ever loved or dated, she moved in with him at age 19 and has been living with him for the past 18 months. She always had a crush on him. They had a great friendship, but after she turned 18 and was attending college she told us the relationship had changed and she moved in with him. My wife and I do not believe any person with the responsiblities of guiding young minds should ever use that influence to build a relationship for the future. We never want to see this man again. I have no intentions of going to the wedding. Do I try and get past this or do I continue to make a statement that the relationship is wrong and I do not approve?

My son is wanting a 2004 Chevy Colorado. He says all his friends parents pay 1/2 when they get new vehicles. He has a truck now that we paid for, and paid insurance for. I want him to learn the value of money and want him to buy this one on his own. What should I do?
