Family & Relationships - 12 December 2006

You're a billionaire and you've just discovered that after years and years of frivolous spending that you have only $1 million left and two weeks to live (cancer of the brain - inoperable). What would you do with the money and with your last two weeks of life?

You're a widower with have three spoiled children that rarely call/visit you; they have no children. You have two siblings, a sister (you know where she lives) that you despised growing up and a brother that moved away and you haven't heard from him in over 25 years. Both of your parents have died (each of them was an only child) so you have no aunts/uncles or nieces/nephews. You don't know if either of your siblings has children.

Would you rectify your relationships and spend your money on that? Live in simplicity and give the money to someone else? (Who?) Spend some and give some? Spend it all? Or would you do something else with it?

She had a dream that I cheated on her and then she had sex with her ex-boyfriend. I'm a naturally jealous person, so what can I do to act rationally?

Does the dream really mean anything?

this is a little off topic of my previous questions... but

when we first met, my bf asked me how many guys i had been with. we weren't dating or maybe we had been for a day, but i told him 5. I have been with more but we've been together for a year and he hasn't asked. He looks at porn(f***ks other girls in his head) but i have been with more guys than him physically. Do i have to tell him. I mean I have always been safe, and i had been checked before and after we hooked up. so....

I guess i don't really see a problem with not telling him but if it's being dishonest then maybe i should. It was before we met so... But then i think he is being dishonest because he does the whole porn thing like many guys do and he tries to hide it.

Ok...hard to write everything in a title. Here is a bit of the background. I am in my thirties and married. I have an old friend (well, more like he used to be a friend with benefits kinda thing) from college that I've known for 15 years..but have lost contact with over the past 6 of those. I have a myspace profile and my old friend found me and wrote me a letter. He is also married now with children. The emails have been harmless. I even told my husband that he contacted me. He didn't seem to care that we spoke online too much. My question to all of you out there in cyber world...is why do you think an ex..out of the blue..who is married would try to contact you? I can't help but be curious, and I have to be honest that our letters back and forth have stirred up some old feelings. I know that I'll never act on it, and writing online is seemingly harmless...but I wish I knew what he's thinking about all this on the other end of the PC w/o directly asking & sending a wrong message.

I was going to go visit my daughter this Christmas who is 14 and lives in another state with her Dad. I decided not to at least for now because I can't get time off from work. I would have to quit my job if I wanted to go and spend time with her after Christmas during her break. My boss is going on vacation and asked me not to take vacation after Christmas. I found this out after I started this job.

My daughter really wanted me to come. She misses me and wanted to spend time with me. She is technically supposed to come to visit me at Christmas per the divorce decree. She does not want to because she is afraid that he Dad will tell her not to come back. He did this when she visited over the summer.

I feel bad because I am disappointing her. Yet, I know if I spend time in the other state, I will end up staying with my ex and her and give them hope that I am coming back to live with them.

My fiance wears his engagement band on his right hand. He says I have to wear mine on my left but then it looks like I'm married and he isn't. I started to wear mine on my right hand now and he says that's not right. Does anyone know the proper etiquette for this?

Now be honest people...sometimes..if your in love does it bother you that you may never sleep with another person again?? Can sex stay that fresh for years on end with the same person..what do you do to keep that way? Be totally honest!

Hello everyone,
I have recently used this board for reference with relationships, and have found it to be useful. I am having a bit of a crisis as of now and I need your help.

Background information:
I am 19 and she is 17. I am currently enrolled at a university that is decent. She is dually enrolled through her high school. I am a bit of a partier but also studious and dilligent. She is extremely studious and does many school oriented activities, such as: quiz bowl, model U.N., and German club. She admits often to being a "nerd"

At about the end of October, I started to get a crush on this girl in my German class in college. We had never talked, but I was wowed with her intelligence and ambitions. On Nov. 8th, I walked her out of class and talked to her a little bit. She told me where she wanted to go, what she wanted to do, hobbies, recreation, etc.

I then started talking to her after class and walking her to her car (parents were dropping off and picking up)

I am doing a story for my journalism class about dating violence. Emotional and physical abuse that occurs during a realtionship. If you have been involved in that I would like to ask you a few questions. If you could leave me your name & email address as well that would be greatly appreciated. As well as answer these questions:

1) What were some of the early signs of violence you saw in the person?

2) In what ways were you abused?

3) Did you stay with the person or get out of the realtionship? And how?


I just want to you peoples stories. Because then it will make mine good. Thank you so much :)

I am 23 and he is 30. We met back in May 2005 while I was still in college. We both hoped for me to find a job that was closer to him but that didn't work out as planned. So he lives 2 and 1/2 hours away from me. For for a year and a half he didn't and I never seriously dated anybody. We liked each other a lot and talked to each other over the phone just about every other night. The only thing that was keeping us apart was the distance. Two months ago he decided he would like to take the chance and officially date me. The weird thing is before we got together he was asking me questions like what style of engagement ring did I want and how many kids I wanted to have and he kept saying when we're married. Do you think we could be ready for the next step?

I'm in a hard situation right now... I have 2 close friends at the moment. They both know about each other and they both want to be in a relationship with me. I've been knowing both of them for quite a while now and I really don't know what to do because I'm afraid I will make the wrong decision. One friend (lets call him Guy) is a real sweet person. Guy doesn't have much to offer me but his love and emotional support And I love him for that. But he can't offer me any financial support and I need that since I am a single parent of a 4 year old.The other friend ( lets call him Man) is a nice person also. He provides me with the financial support I need. When I'm in a bind he comes to my rescue. Although he is not too romantic he does have a lil soft side. Guy cannot help me when I get into a bind or if my son needs anything, but my son loves him to death. I really dont know what to do or who to choose. Can someone give me some advice PLEASE!!!
