Family & Relationships - 21 January 2007

A lot of times when you tell an overweight women that you perfer toned, thin, or women of average weight they become so insulted. I hear a lot of comments from them like "why would you want a bony girl when you can have a curvacious girl with meat on her bones" or "what are you a child molester going after girls with no **** or *** that are built like little boys?". I'm not saying that men should hate or insult overweight women but honestly its just not as attractive to most men. Like most women want a man bigger then them, most men want women that are smaller then them. I just hate seeing these women wear clothes way to small for them and then get defensive when you don't find them attractive.

You see my mom has a close friend with 3 kids. The lady is really sweet and we like her, but her kids are annoying as hell. They are all around the age of 3-4 and so are my brothers. They are really mean to my brothers. They are greedy and very much smart asses. How do we tell their mom that we want nothing to do with her bratty kids?

I am now 33 and he is 16 years older than me. I know we are in very different life cycles and this will only become more apparent as we age. Can something like this be overcome?

OMG - help! Just went into my local supermarket there and saw this guy i've fancied for a while (he works there). I know him to speak to, but not very well. Anyway, me and my mates were having a few drinks earlier and when we went to get some shopping. When we went in, I saw him on all fours on the floor sorting a display. I thought it would be a good idea to go up behind him and crack him on the ****. After i did, i realised it was the wrong guy when he turned round!!!! The problem is that this is my only local supermarket and there's not another one near. I have to go back in so what should i say to this guy who's backside i slapped? Should i not make a big thing out of it, or should i act really embarassed? He looked very shocked when i did it. Help i'm so embarassed!!

I'm "seeing" a guy that's 14 years younger than me. We agreed to be bed buddies, and we've been together almost a year. He texts me everyday, and he really acts jealous when I go out of town on business trips. I'm trying to be realistic about the age difference, because I know eventually things will come to an end. But anytime I mention that he's my best friend, it kinda ticks him off. Guys? Help me out here. Is he reading more into this? I could fall for him, but I'm not going to bring a commitment conversation up first. Your thoughts? He's 22, I'm 36.

This girl and I had been friends as long as we could remember. We lived across the street from each other.

A couple years ago, she got into a few "bad" things, and, without involving me in all of them, took me down with her. Things got so bad that she got sent to New Jersey, sent back, and everyone lost all contact with her.

So she's been dead to me for a couple years, right? So I'm sitting at home just enjoying an episode of The Office, when the phone rings. It's her. I have my mom take a message for me. I just couldn't talk to her.

Turns out she's been in a rehab for a while, and has completely redone her own life. She wants to meet with my mother and I and apologize to us for causing me and my family harm. She also wants to inquire about being friends again.

I want to, but I don't want to. It would make her feel better, but I'm just scared it's going to open up that part of my life again, and that's a box I've had locked for so long.

Any insight is greatly appreciated

I am considering getting involved a man who does not share my cultural or racial background. I love his culture. I am concerned that these differences will become more apparent as they years go by and would become the very thing we would split over. Relationships are hard enough without adding complications. What do you think?

Remember that guy I told u about who works at the video store. Well I went back there on Friday and when I got there he didn't say hi or anything. Then when my uncle said my name Matt the guy I'm talking about looked up at me and smiled. And when my uncle and I got home the thing that keeps the movie from being stolen was still on and Matt was looking at me when he was taking the rest of those off. Does he still like me?

Help me. I want to leave my husband of 7 years. He never wants to have sex, is very inconsiderate of me, etc., does not want me to work, wants me to stay home with kids even though we need the $ I could make. I am scared and try to figure out how to leave him. I have not worked for 7 yrs and have 3 kids under 9. I feel stuck. Pls advise. Every time I begin a job search I have difficulty b/c my job experience is ancient and so is my BA. So I stay to feed, clothe, and house our children b/c you cannot rent a place w/o income. My family lives 3 hours away. Should I take my kids out of school and move down there? My husb gets very upset when I try to talk with him but does not change and he will not go to therapy. My therapist always pushes me to divorce but I feel I cannot if I cannot support myself.

give. He's very sensible an often clumsy though successful in his career .Since childbirth (now 5 an 9)i grew too much critical with his clumsiness which I really regret. now he has found someone per internet and slept with her too He's honest whenever i ask him whats going on. He says he's unsure what he wants. he loves kids an even still attached to me too. He wants to know her better to decide if she's right for him so I have to give him freedom to see and sleep at her place. he says she's alone, having psychological problems, she needs help and she admires him. He needs this admiration an devotion. Family is important for him but he needs to go through this infatuation till whatever the end might look.We can still have fun when we are together and very nice to me and i dont want to lose him.
What do i have to do, let him all the freedom without criticism?
He has no will to steer his emotion, just letting it happen. He's an european and i'm from another culture.

I met a man on-line 2 weeks ago. After emails and phone calls, we decided to meet. He expressed sexual interest during the first phone call, apparently based on my photo and our interactions. He also expressed interest in the possibility that this could become long-term. We agreed to a 2-day trip, and he booked a room with one bed in a very romantic hotel. I admit that this was all a grievous error on my part, being swept up in the moment, etc. Last night in an email to him I revealed I have genital herpes. Responses in his email this morning included "bad news," "not necessarily a dealbreaker," and "perhaps twin beds are in order." My discomfort with the entire situation at this point is high. Should I cancel the trip? Go along and assume it is platonic (what we should have done in the first place)? Have him order a sleeping cot for the room? Forget the whole thing? So much projection and denial have taken place, and I am regretting not being more level-headed through this.

I am really needing to get out of the house(no,school doesn't really count),but she's not letting me go anywhere without her being right there with me.
I'm fourteen,and I just want to go hang out with my friends and relax,but she's all of a sudden freaking out about me going anywhere where she is not present.
Parents,what can I as a kid do to help her settle down and let me have my space? She thinks I hate her.
