Family & Relationships - 30 November 2006

I am wondering what I should do for Christmas. I am not very close to my family as we had a fallout. I am in my 20's, married, and have a young son. Question is... my family (parents...) are getting us gifts as I know. I am wondering for simple Christmas Ideas for them for gifts.

They rarely seem interested in our lives, and never see us. Nor is the rest of the family close. I would feel weird getting them something extravagant, but I can't just give them a card... type of thing.

Thanks in advance! Merry Christmas!

My boyfriend is almost perfect. He treats me like royalty, showers me with love, tenderness, etc. The family LOVES him. The problem: he will go days at a time w/o a shower!! This is Thursday night. He has not showered since Saturday. OMG he smells awful. And I told him so, & he said he was going to shower before bed, but he didn't. In fact he got pouty & instead of sleeping in our bed he's sleeping on a two-seat loveseat in our bedroom. Ladies, have you ever encountered this type of problem? How did you curtail it? It's also a royal pain in the booty to get him to wash his hands.

So there is this guy, and I really like him but the problem is, I don't want to like him anymore. Everytime I turn around I'm showing off for him or flirting but I stop when I realize it then tell myself he's not worth it! I'm so confused! Please Help! Anyone with similar experiences?

He goes out every day of the week. Mostly nightime only. I will call him & sometimes he answers & others he doesn't. I found out that when he doesn't answer is when he's at the dance. Which he denies. If I call him too much then he will hang up on me or just not answer the phone. He sleeps alot on the living room couch. On the weekends he goes out at Friday or Saturday at maybe 6PM & does not come back till the next day @ like 2,3, or 4PM. I am so tired of all this. I have tried to talk to him. I have asked him why & he doesn't want to talk & why he goes out so much, he just gets mad & leaves again. He is always telling me CLEAN THE HOUSE, do this or do that. I have told him that we have 4 kids & the house can not be spottless 24/7. I work full time & sell AVON also. He never wants to help me clean. I had made dinner in the oven the other day & he said that he didn't want to eat sh** from the oven. So what do you think?

I would so appreciate some advice.

We lost the court case against my sister, aformer landlord of ours.

Today we got a letter from my sisters saying we had until 5th December to pay the remaining £1400 or they would get the bailiffs for us.

My wife said I was a coward for paying the £400. She said 'what do I need you for, you caused me nothing but trouble'.

We had a really bad fight, just I feel her views are not balanced. She blamed me again for losing the case.

I wonder how we'll survive this. Or if it is time to call time on this relationship. I mean, my sisters and brother will have won (we'll have broke up) - but if she has such a low opinion of me, what's the point of staying together?

I don't want to lose the house after paying so much money in, less so when I think if I was'nt there, she may move her family in....

I am just trying to think straight. any helpful advice is welcome.

A month ago I delivered my 9 mth stillborn baby that I had with my live in boyfriend of 9 years. During a 4 month seperation we conceived, when he found out we where pregnant he asked me to move back in together. During the pregnancy it was the best time of our lives & the relationship was the best ever. We had issues b4 the seperation that included 1)He didn't want more children, this would have been my 1st. 2)He didn't want to remarry for the 3rd time 3)He claims that we didn't have romance/or enough sex. Now the same problems we had b4 the baby came into existence have resurfaced & he wants to break up for good & move on. I know I love him but have felt unsecure for obvious reasons & I know that I need this time to for myself. QUES. What can I do if anything to stay with him & bring him to accept my wants for children & marriage. I'm almost 40, he's 46. If I let him walk away I don't want him to believe that I also gave up on us-it also feels like some sort of dishonor to my baby.

My boyfriend's family is way different than mine. His freely cusses, pulls practical jokes, & has no problem telling dirty jokes. I told him his parents make me feel a little uneasy... like when his stepmom sometimes rolls her eyes when she sees me.

They also know I'm a virgin because they ask him, "So you gettin' any?" OMG we're young (not in our teens). Plus, I'm waiting till marriage. That's how they are... his family is infamous for having babies before marriage. I don't care they know I'm a virgin... it's just something personal...

And when it comes to after marriage, our plans are also opposite. Just the little things.. like he wants dogs, wants to pee in the shower, wants to wear shoes in the house, etc. & this thing about "touching his money"... I don't know if he was really kidding or not...

Have you ever had opposite family members & little things about future plans than your significant other? Any advice? What was it like once you got married? Was compromise hard?

OK. This is the third time I've put this on here. I don't think I'm that dam tired that I can't type my own question, but maybe.

OK...I'm dating this guy that I really like. We've been dating a few weeks. Things are starting to get a little physical, and while I'm not complaining, I don't want to have sex until I know that this is a relationship that's gonna last a while. (I'm not saying that I want to know tomorrow that he's gonna marry me, I just want to know that I'm not some 6 week "fling".) When would it be appropriate to have the "relationship" talk with him? I think I know what his thoughts are, but I'm not 100%.

Please no preaching about sex and STD's. Virginity is long gone (I'm almost 27 years old), and I remember my high school health classes, thanks.

A friend of mine told me that one the most important things in dating is for you to make the other person need you, like to make the other feel the need to talk to you or see you. Now my question is how do you do this? Do you call the guy a lot or what? I don´t get it how do you create that need in the other?

I met a guy on myspace months ago. It turns out that we went to the same elementary school and we were going to the same college until he had to drop out for a month. He even worked at a place nearby for a week or two and I went and I saw him in person from afar. I was too shy/nervous to approach him. In the beginning we did these myspace surveys about what if I was his g/f and what if he was my b/f and how we would act and I think he likes me. The only problem is that he is a huge believer of fate but the elementary school, college part, my chance at seeing him at work, and how much alike we are makes me think that is fate, in a strange way. I'd like to invite him to do something but it seems too bold. I'm shy but he's shy too so I don't know what to do or how to ask. We used to have really long message conversations but lately he just writes a paragraph or two, if that much. How can I ask him out in a casual way, never asked a guy out before? Or should I wait and see what happens?

Just interested in knowing how people view a non-married relationship to being married? Which do you prefer and why? How do you view the other side, either as lucky, foolish, or elsewise?

I'm in my last semester of school and find myself alone at school, always. Its funny, because i'm very popular, but i just cannot relate to any of those kids. I am kind to everyone and know pretty much every single person at the school. Its just when i go to lunch or something, there is no one group where I fit in. All my life i have been the one to approach others and be left the outsider listening in. That's mostly why I decided to graduate a year early. I moved here my freshman year from the other side of the country, played football for the school, but just have not made a single real friend, just 2,000 kids who say hi to me in the halls and occasionally invite me to parties. I am always alone, and i have more than gone out of my way for others. They all know who I am, but none of them know me, or care to. Am I really alone in this?

I don't attract guys much. Occasionally I'll turn a head or one of my friends will let me know someone is checking me out but that's as far as it goes. I'm not overweight, I don't think I'm ugly. Is there something wrong with me? I have never even been asked out on a date. All of my friends at one point or another have at least been asked out. Is there something about me that I should change? I dress and act like a normal girl, I can be slightly shy with guys at first but once I get to know them I'm not anymore. Can someone please help me with this? I don't know what's wrong! I'm into the same things most girls are into. I shop, I play sports. Is there something that I'm not doing?
