Family & Relationships - 6 December 2006

I've come to terms with my addiction to gambling... mostly lottery tickets (scratch off, draw games). It's been months building up, and I had no idea what I was getting into. I took a good look at my finances, and I am at the point of no return! I've been searching for the right counselor, and found out thru my work we offer Employee Assistance Program (EAP). I found articles on the internet, and all of my symptoms and actions diagnosed as a mental disorder, Pathological Gambling, I can deal with the difficulty of getting better, but my major problem is how I've kept it a secret from my spouse, friends and family members. That was one of the key factors to my illness. I am taking the first step in getting help....but how do I disclose to my spouse the mountain of debt we're in? I am prepared to end our marriage if it comes to that. But honestly, I feel my spouse will be supportive in helping me recover, and we would have to start over (most likely have to file bankruptsy).

ive had some good friends who have said many times "ill be here for you" and "i love you" and "ill never leave you, i promise" ect. yet they always leave, even if i try to keep in touch they always seem to stop emailing or calling or writing always. How come the only people who will actually truely b there are the people that you pay to be there for you like a therapist or something? i know that the whole world doesnt care about me. im not asking for much. i try hard to make sure people know i care for them becuase that is so important to me. how come after a while, no one cares back and i feel so alone and abandoned?

this dude said he was sexually ruined. i read lots of questions on here of men saying they feel mutilated. Do you think all the anti-circumcision people are being irresponcible by telling circumcised men that they are inferior to uncircumcised men and that their sex lives are ruined??? Kinda seems like they are using the same tactics the modeling industry uses to make women feel like crap.

games wise which is better, i dont care about graphics as long as there isnt a vast diffrence between them. So which one is better?
And i think the Xbox360 is a better choice cuz its cheaper and has fun games like Rainbow six:vegas, Superman returns and the new GTA, but to play online u have to pay, which Really Sucks.

so which one is better and why?
oh and i asked in singles and dating cuz ppl dont answer in other categories.....

1.I was walking and then he tapped me on the shoulder and I turned around and he jumped on the stage (it was on the side) and smiled at me

2. We wer talking backstage and my friend said we had to go (I was sleeping at herhouse) so I was starting to leave and he put his arm on the door and said 'Where are you going?" so I told him and he's like oh and took away his arm

3.We were talking on the phone and he out of the blue said Man I hate preppy people and I said then you must hate me too because i'm preppy and he said well I guess i'll have to make an exception for you then.

4. He's started calling me names like "Stalker"

last time I ask this question I got all kinds of jokes and bad comments that didnt help, but I also got some really good.
Anyways, like I said before, I been seperated from my girl of 7 years due to all kinds of problems, verbal abuse, liyin, not carin, concentratin at work more, payin attention to my dumb guy friends, but not cheatin. Anyways I been livin at my mom's since a month ago; my girls' aunt pass away like two weeks ago, she call me, and we started gettin closer, more "ok", she did told me durin that time "i want u back, cuz u are showin that you are changin, but give me time to fall in love wit you, cuz i do love u", but then again last week I acted like an idiot, and put pressure on her for us to get back together, and now we are back to square one again, now she tells me, "right now i dont know if i want u back" the same thing that she told me when i move out of the house. Before you go all crazy on me, i know is all my fault, and I want to fix things, we have a son of 2

this makes me sound like a s**t but anyway; about three weeks ago i had unprotected sex with a man, then about 5 days ago i did it again with another man. is there any way to tell who the father is if i am pregnant, before the baby is born. could they scan me and see how developed the baby is or something? i can get one of the "dads" to give DNA i think but the other one is an idiot anyway. what can i do??

I asked my friend to be the maid of honor in my wedding. I'm getting married April 6, 2007. My friend lives in California and I live in Michigan. We always said to each other that if one or the other gets married we would be at each others wedding. I've known my friend for 14 years. We went to college together we've been there for each other for happy and sad times, that is why I asked her. When I did ask she seemed less than enthusiastic, I thought she was having a bad day maybe, but she agreed. That was about 8 months ago. She has not mentioned anything about the wedding since then. I've sent her emails of pictures of bridesmaid dresses asking her opinion she never responds. When I do talk to her on the phone she nevers asks anything. I not the type of person to be a bridezilla, I'm not bombarding her with wedding details. I'm really not asking anything, only for her to show up and be in the wedding. I don't know what to do, should I ask her not to be in the wedding?

I've liked this guy for a while and we are really good friends. I go to an all-girls high school and he goes to the all-boys high school down the street. I've known him for 6 years and I've liked him for a while. We asked each other to our homecomings. At his homecoming we had a great time. WE were dancing flirting, holding hands, ect. and he really seemed like he wanted something more than friendship.However, when it came to my Homecoming, a couple days before, I started feeling really sick. The night before my homecoming, he called me to ask how I was, and was being really sweet. We talked for hours and he really seemed to care. The next day, I called him to let him know that I was too sick to go, and he was so different and it didn't seem like he cared anymore. Now things are kind of awkward between us, and we don't talk as much. It's so odd because I was sure that he liked me as were the rest of our friends. Why did he act so differently on the phone and what's going on with him?
