Family & Relationships - 27 October 2006

I have been dating a wonderful young woman 25 for 1 year, and we fell instantly in love. Never having been a father, I also learned to be an influence on her beautiful 3 year old son. I have been able to offer her affection and happiness that she hasn't had previously, at least that is what she had told me. Lately, she has trouble with the time spent apart from her child when he is with his father, and is considering going back to him to spend more time with her son. He spends about 2 nights on average a week at his home, but the rest of the time at her place. She had lived and been with him off and on for 6 years, and she finally moved out permenantly about 1 year ago. I make a good living, have offered her the chance to stay home throughout the week to maximize the time with her son, but she can't stand being away from him. How successful or damaging can it be to grow up in a household where the mother doesn't love the father, is it best for the kid?

My husband is upset because I don't make a lot of money, according to his definition of a lot of money. He wants to be able to say that his wife is a pharmacist. He has threatened to divorce me if I don't apply to pharmacy school. How can I get him to understand that it's important that I do something that I really want to do? I'm just not sure about becoming a pharmacist. I think I would love the job, but studying chemistry for four years will be dreadful! My husband doesn't make "a lot of money" either, and is a workaholic, anyway. I suggested that he go to pharmacy school, but he said "I'm already doing what I want to do," which is psychotherapy. I make $44,000 a year now, and I kind of like my job...It's not the best, but it'll do. I want to have a family soon, and my husband said he won't have "Wal-mart babies" with me, whatever that means...I think it's time to dump him! What do you think? He expects too much and doesn't love me for who I am.

Let me first start off and say that I have two best friends. They both mean the same to me (I don't like one more than the other). Although I have known Sam longer than Jessi, I still treat them both the same.

We all have our little group. I was friends with Jessi before Sam was friends with her. I have been Sam's friend for five years though. Jessi and I have been friends for two.

Lately, Sam has been ignoring (not intentionally) Jessi. He doesn't realize it and she feels really bad. For example. I will be talking to Jessi and Sam will come up to me and talk to me, and totally move Jessi out of the way. I don't have any cool advice to give her so I was woundering if you did. What should I do?

you see, I am going on a retreat and the only one of my family members who will be there is my brother and I probably won't see him much because he is in a different group! I am afraid that I will get homesick in the middle of the weekend and not be able to go back! How can I work with my homesickness?

If you did something wrong but not fatal is sorry ever enough to warrant forgiveness. I said sorry for something I should not have done but it seemed not good enough. Do you forgive? I forgive because life is too short for anger.

He told me its cool to write him a letter to express myself. im scared to do it because we work together. he's been so hurt before and i dont know how to approach this situation. he's religious too and i like that aspect about him. he came into a patients room to wink at me, and i guess he likes to get my attention. i know the ettiquitte for work romances. but its obvious he finds me atractive. and i feel the same.

One of my friends is pregnant with twins and the father wants to keep her a secret from the mother of his other child..

The other child is a 5-year-old girl. She went home and drew a picture (of her dad, herself, and his friend -who is his girlfriend and has been living together for a year, she is pregnant with his twin boys). Both the women are mad at each other but I want to tell my friend that she should be mad with the guy. He told the other girl that my friend was a “friend”. I want to tell my friend that he is running game on her but not sure how because she is not reading between the lines or will telling her cause problems between us.

they're not good enough or their men deserve someone better than them? Or is this just a nice way of saying they're done w/ a relationship? I mean, either way I'm screwed. She either thinks she's not worthy or I'm not worthy of her. Damn!

I have a crush on this guy who is in my class. I think he likes me,because hes always looking at me,and when I look back at him he smiles for about 10 seconds,and looks away,and after school,while were at our lockers,hes always joking around,and every time i laugh,he looks at me and smiles.
We are both get really shy in front of eachother.
How do I find out for sure if he likes me or not?

PS: He doesnt have a gf,and we have all of our classes together except for 3 of them.

My boyfriend and I have discussed that he looking at porn on the computer really bothers me. He said he wouldn't do it anymore since it bothers me so much. But the thing is, I found out he's been doing it behind my back and acting like nothing is going on. SHould I just ignore it and realize that men will be men, or should I confront him about it which will end in a fight anyway? what should I do?

Are there any good reasons to get married BESIDES love? If I meet a girl and we are very compatiable but not in love and I KNOW we could last forever but not love each other... Does love really mean anything in the big scheme of things?
