Family & Relationships - 12 December 2006

I hate it when some people in my extended family bad mouths another family member when they aren't around. Don't they believe in karma at all? Do and say good things about others and good things will happen to you. Versus, do and say bad things about others and bad things will happen to you. Or, what goes around comes around to be more precise. Why do some people bad mouths others when they aren't around? Any ideas? Please explain.

Which house for Christmas? My girlfriends parents or my family? Little complicated when you read details?
Me and my girlfriend have been together almost 6 months. She has some sort of prejudice against my family because most of them are older(over40) and not married. She is very close with her family and I with mine. She met my Mother under protest and is very unhappy about meeting the rest of my family(2 brothers and 3 sisters) We spent Thanksgiving at her parents house(slept over, 1.5 hours away) she says her family makes a big deal of Christmas eve and they exchange presents then and I said I would like to be with her on xmas eve and spend the night at her parents house. So I said my family does presents on Christmas day and I would like to be with them and I would like her to be there also. She does not want to travel back on xmas day so she says its okay if I do not want to spend the holiday with her but instead with my family. I feel like she is making me choose between my family or her, is this fair? What am I missing?
Thanks

There is this girl at my school who is pretty, all the boys like her, and all that stuff. She parties alot, so do i, and we have alot in common. I found that out on her myspace. But anyways, I am very popular myself, but none of my friends are really into partying. How do i approach her for the first time and see if she wants to hang out and party sometime? Im straight, and i just want a friendship of course, so how do i start it?

I'm from New Orleans. I'm 16, and go to a catholic school. When Katrina hit, my Dad, sister and me moved to Hoover, Alabama. I attended a real normal co-ed high school for the first time!! I loved it there!! I made SO many friends, had my first boyfriend, found out that I was gay, and I experienced what real high school drama was about!!! But my grades werent good. My GPA was below a 1.9 in May. So we moved back to my old school in New Orleans. My whole life is turned upside down!! I miss my friends, and I keep getting in fights with my Dad. I want to move back SO bad!!! But i cant... I can't stay with friends because all their parents said no. I just feel like I'm not living life like I should now... I've tried to commit suicide, but it only made me end up in the hospital. I keep in contact with my friends in Hoover by phone and email. I don't know what to do... I've tried talking it out with my dad, but it didn't do any good... Please help me!!! I'm desperate for answers!!!

This guy who i really like is so confusing. First off he has a girlfriend. Me and him know each other pretty good and when we are at church which is mostly when i see him he acts like he is interested in me and flirts a little. At school though we dont see each other that often but when we do he doesnt talk much. What does this mean?

I invited a male friend to a party at a pub. He's not my boyfriend but I was using it as a chance to get to know him better. I really want to date this guy. Two other girls and myself were treating our adult students to drinks at this pub. I thought since I was paying for the students, I should cover for my male friend too. I treated him to an appetizer too. He seemed shocked that I wanted to pay. He offered money for the drinks and I said no, that it was okay. He seemed a little hurt. Did I do something really wrong? I felt like I was treating him because he bought me a drink last time. Later, I felt bad--like I was refusing his generosity. I think this hurt my dating chances. He didn't seem so enthusiastic in his voice when he said "maybe we'll see each other again soon". My female friends think I was a dunce. They always make their guys pay or at least go dutch.

Four years ago, at the age of 23, I dated a man who was ten years older than me. At that time, all of my friends thought he was TOO old for me. Our relationship didn't work out and I always figured that one of the reasons was the age difference. We have remained friendly and have talked occassionally over the years. I just found out that he is dating a 23 year old, who he is now 14 years older than! I just saw her and she has a very nice figure and large fake breasts. Obviously he finds her attractive, but it is hard for me to imagine that he could be so shallow. I would think that there would be a HUGE difference in their maturity and intellect and they wouldn't have much in common. I always thought of him as a nice and intelligent man who needed an emotional connection with a woman instead of just phsyical. I would think he would need more in a relationship than just a phsyical attraction. Why don't most men need that too like women do? How can they be so shallow?

I am helping 2 students on a school report. One is for the pros and the other one is for the cons. If you agree that same sex marriage should be legal, state your opinion, and give reasons why. If you disagree state your opinion too, and give me reasons why. This is a school project, so do not attack the messenger. Thank you for your kindess. I need as many pros as cons.

I hurt him by walking away from him, when he was probably thinking everything is going well in our 6 year relationship. It shouldn’t have surprised him cause I have done this many many time.. And most of the time because it was all my fault and I would blame it on him. But recently we were doing okay and we were having a lots of fun...but I ended the relationship because he said a bad joke and after I realize it really was a joke...as always I said sorry and usually he would say nothing but we would be together again but now he is giving me the silent treatment. I really love him we have a lot of history together and a puppy..which he bought for me...I really want him back but he doesn’t give me the chance to tell him how I feel..How do I break his silent treatment?

Why are ugly or fat chicks always the coolest to talk to and most hot chicks have no personality. I swear if some of my ugly chick friends were hot, I'd marry them right now!
I swear it seems like the hot chick have lower self esteem then the ugly fat ones.

I feel very strongly about this woman and she is aware of my feelings. She is currently with someone else, so a relationship is out of the question. We have a very up and down relationship, we can go for days without speaking and then a day later we can become inseperable. Things are very good at the moment.
Today we were talking and she just came out with it. "You're so unpredictable" She even said that all other men are predictable, all except me. It sounds like a good thing to me but i'm not sure. Maybe i'm seeing what i want to see.

This person is a co-worker ofmy husband, and a scoial friend of ours. She wanted to know what type of red wine I liked because they were ordering wine for the company christmas party He then told her that I had stopped drinking The co-worker asked why and he said it because it stopped being fun, so she quit. Which in my book means she was a drunk! Which is true but it is my place to tell people if I want them to know not his, RIGHT?

I know this mother that is so close to her 60 year old son. She has a picture of him @ 60 years of age on her key chain. She also has another photo with him and her hand is on his lap. She always talks about him day and night. Even when she dreams about him she wakes up yelling his name. As a housekeeper, they even go on vacations together, and I talked to her friends, and they said when the go on vacation "they play with each other". Can this mother and son really being sharing the same bed.
And when they stare at each other across the table it's as if they are in love with each other and communication like lovers. Would sleeping with mom be elder abuse? Or your thoughts?

Your ideas about your men not going to strip clubs puzzle me.

We come home, routine as ever. Ask for some off the wall sex (diff room, outside, etc etc) or ask you to show some skin, or do some sexy stuff. Just ravage us when we dont suspect it, or show up at the door naked, or just initiate sex ONCE.

But, NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.
I just want to snuggle tonight. Hear that alot.


It really sucks to hear that all the time. Then women say, to keep him from going do something sexy, or get a pole and show him.

You ladies get mad when the romance is gone, and we get upset when our frisky wife has 100% VANISHED.

I think the women just dont trust ther men or they are insecure with themselves in one way or another because a secure women would have nothing to worry about.

My wife can go to a male strip club any time she chooses, after all,, I am not her father. i am her partner. She is a grown women and if she loves me, then she will respect the trust and come home to me.

Would you rather have a wife/girlfriend/mate who is a really good cook & cooks all the time, or is really good at giving head & does it all the time? Personally, I go for the second! I can pick up a menu & order Thai any time. What do you guys think?
