Family & Relationships - 26 November 2006

My ex-husband and I are still residing in the same household. Our split was amicable and without lawyers. We still reside together primarily for financial purposes but he has made plans to move out by the first of the year. Although there is no romance or sexual tension in our relationship, I still find myself extremely jealous now that he has begun to date. He tells me everything about them (the girls) even how they don't measure up to me. This is beginning to take a toll on me emotionally. Because he still pays bills in the household while I finish school, I feel awkward telling him that I don't want to hear any of this.

Any advice on how to end this barrage of details gently?

I've been waiting to ask this girl out on a date because of our conflicting schedule. We've been talking for a couple months and seem to get along pretty well.

I have a Christmas party to go this Firday night for the compnay I work for. I was thinking about asking her to go with me, but I'm not sure if that would a weird setting for a first date. My parents will be there because my Mom works for the same company.

Should I just wait to take her to dinner and movie or should I ask her to the party?

So some people find friendships...some people find good connections...some people find potential lovers..some people find others going through the same thing in life.

But would you really like to meet your connections?

I was dating an awesome guy for a little more than a year. Then I had to go and break up with him for a low life loser. I feel so stupid. My ex lives in TN and I live in GA. I miss him so much and I apologized for leaving him and I begged him to take me back. He basically said not now and maybe when I graduate (in 2010!). I want him back and I don't know what to do. Do I keep after him or let him go?

I called my crush. It was a voicemail, but she never called me back. Could someone read some of my previous questions to say if she's still mad? If not then just tell me why she didn't call back....I said that I'd call at a better time and she said okay. So what's up?

well i had been fooling around with her a while and then i noticed she was sort of getting attached to me so i told her we should stop, using the excuse "friends shouldn't be having sex" and then she asked why i couln't or didn't want to be her boyfriend. now i don't know what to tell her cause the reason i don't want to date her is because she is a little over weight. but i can't tell her that.i'm sure that would hurt her. or should i just tell her the truth?

I LOVE YOU
I've got your back
You've got mine
I'll help you out
anytime
to see you hurt,
to see you cry.
makes me weep,
and wanna die
if you agree
to never fight,
it will never matter
who's wrong or right.
if a broken heart
needs a mend,
i'll be right there
to the end
if your cheeks are wet
from drops of tears,
dont you worry
lets go of your fears,
hand in hand
love is sent
we'll be friends
till the end

My grandmother is blind. My grandfather is going blind and is already partially deaf. My sister, whom they adopted 30 years ago is multiply handicapped, deaf and has cerebral palsy. My grandfather delivers newspapers with my dad and gets paid $60 a week. My grandmother can't work. My sister works at Salvation Army, and they do her wrong. She gets paid less than $1 an hour and works 40+ a week. Her average paycheck for 2 weeks is 40 cents. She only gets $250 a month in disability, and they're hurting. Bad. They have been buying their house for over 40 years, and the bank is now coming to get it. I've offered them a place to stay at my house, but I'm 800 miles away from them. They live down the street from my father, but he wants nothing to do with them because of my sister's disabilities. I need to know of a good place to post their story and help raise money for them. I've done craigslist, I've emailed Maury...and I would just like to know of a few more places where I can do so. TY.

I was raped by my b/f's friend. My friend says not to trust ne guy. We are 16.
Is it wrong to trust my b/f when I fall asleep in his arms and know that he won't want more?? Is this too much trust/too much to expect from him??
My friend says that no 16yr old boy can sleep with only his arms around his g/f and not cop a feel or ne thing. Is she right??
We have been together for 2 years and yes he knows about the whole rape thing.
I trust him and used to b4 I was raped but now my friend says I look easy in his eyes.
She says all they want is sex and will do what ever it takes to get it. I never told her that we already had sex, b4 I was raped.

I never had any experience with girls at all - never dated, never had a girlfriend, never had any friends that were girls, never had sex. I never had any sisters or cousins that were girls who would be able to teach me - all my cousins (and I have a lot) are guys.

I'm an undergrad at Stanford studying psychology and there is this girl in my class who I'm kinda attracted to, but I only talked to her once in groupwork. I have no idea if she was at all interested in me or not. How do I flirt with her? Should I even flirt with her?

Should I ask her out? How can I become her friend? Or is it just hopeless alltogether? I'm only 5'5" and she's a little taller.

I'm at a complete loss of what to do. I don't think my parents really want me to be dating anyone as my mother has been telling me that I'm better off being alone and that girls would probably hurt me.

Can it be true? I met this girl on line, and then got to meet her in real life. Can it work? Only time will tell. She is beautiful. She is nice. Soooo sweet. And she says she wants to keep seeing me... What to do? What to do? Can the "L" thing work from an online thingy? Am I freaking crazy or what?

last night i called my ex...to say that we shouldnt stay in contact for awhile until i am ready. so he agreed and said that's fine. so he and i had a friendly conversation and talked about what we did yesterday. then he said, give me a call even if its a booty call?! now, seriously even if its a joke.. that is something u dont say to someone. all i wanted was to have a good convo n peace between us cus we argue still even tho we are not toghther... n after awhile we dont talk... i wanted to remain friends with him..but now, i dont know.

i was gonna send him an email n ask him why he had to joke arond like that.........my friends said dont even try to talk to him. its already been done n said... its past so move on. i guess i am hurt by it.

i know he doesnt hate me.. im sure he still cares for me.. we been broken up for 2 weeks only.. so its still fresh. i just needed to vent out.

i'm not gonna talk to him for awhile until i am ready. maybe in time we'l talk again.

His message kind of turned me off as he said he is arguing a case before a high court (kind of bragging, like) and he hopes to be distracted from his preparations some. I was out of town (he called my cell) but I was busy and obviously not there anyway.

Also, I haven't really gotten to know him much and felt he was assuming too much that I would do something with him on one day's notice.

I'm older and just got out of an abusive relationship so I'm just getting back out there and have no idea. AND, if I decide something is not right about it, do I have to call him back?? I am generally nice, etc. and do not want to be totally rude. THANKS.

i haven't talked to my dad side of the family for the past 13 or 14 years. My parents have turned me away from them because of things in the past that they can't do anything about now or then because of their own choices. today i went down to the cemeatry where we buried my grandmother and decided to stop in just to see if they would treat me like the susposily did my parents before all ties were broken off. they didn't they were actually surprised to see me and we exchanged numbers. but my problem is i'm still living with my parents and if they knew i talk to them and want to continue talking to them and actually have a relatonship with them now besight all the crap they would flip their lids.but i will be 20 in june and i feel that i should be able to have contact with my rest of my family if i please. so do i tell my parents that i went down and decided that i want to have contact with them. or do i do as i please anyways and hide from them until i'm no longer living with them?

I live in VA, and a good friend of mine moved away to NC last year without notice. At first he would call me every once in a while, but after about 5 months he didn't call anymore. Soon after that I moved, and I lost his number in the process, and I think he might have moved as well. So neither of us can contact each other. I tried looking him up online to find a number or address but didn't get anywhere. The last I heard, he didn't have a computer, so I'm out of ideas. I really miss my friend and I don't know if I'll ever see him again..does anyone know how I could find him?
