Family & Relationships - 24 January 2007

First off im 24 and he's 28. Second, I am not desperate by any means and find it odd that people assume that. I didn't expect to meet some guy offline, and the things we have in common are a rarity to me. I work in Audio Production and I love his understanding of music. He wants to leave his girlfriend but just doesnt seem to have the ba**s to do so. He said it feels like she would kill herself if he left her. What I want to know is why is he talking to me more than her first of all. Second, why do we stare at each other? And no distance isn't the issue I'm just not getting involved with someone who has a gf. I have more respect for myself than that. I just don't know how to describe all this...

We are a blended family and I am in need of support. My husband and I have had custody of 4 of our children from his previous marriage for going on 4 years now. Mom is not really around. I am supportive of my children and their relationship with her when she does call or is around. I never disrespect her. Just recently I found out that Mom and her husband are trying to have a baby. I am in a state of shock. She doesn't take responsibilty for the children she does have emotionally, financially and she thinks its responisble to have another child. I find myslef increasing inpatient with her and becoming shorter with my kids. I love them so much and would never do anything to harm their relationship but COME ON. I struggle so much with balance. I feel like I am fighting a no win battle. I feel like its a contest I can never win. I know its not a contest but it sucks sometimes. Any words of widsom would be appreciated.

sex in public? what were the circumstances?

I was skinny dipping with my girlfriend in high school, we were getting pretty hot and heavy when all of a sudden there was a spot light in our face.
It was the local police he just asked us if we had been drinking and asked my girlfriend if she was ok. She said yes she was fine. The cop said well be careful and drove away.
By then my johnson had been scared and didn't want to get back up and my girlfriend was embarrassed so we just went home.
Never been skinny dipping since

My stepson is getting married this year and we can no way compete with the money his fiance's parents have. They are giving the newlyweds a kitchen make-over complete with appliances. What can we give that won't seem cheap in comparison?

People often say cliche things like "move on with your life" but what is the first step to making peace with past pains in your opinion? (Any examples based on life experience). This is a general question.

a guy friend you were never dating, but turned down for sex, fabricates a story that you were dating and that he broke up with you?

a guy has told a lot of our mutual friends this, as well as his newly-acquired girlfriend... and that he dumped me because i was a "mormon" (community of christ is not mormon, actually, he is confused). is it even worth it to try and set the record straight? it IS a small world... or is this just too stupid to think about?

I think that she is in love with her friend to the point that she cannot say no to her. The girlfriend is what I would call a floosie. She has affairs with coworkers and shares all the details with my wife.

IS there any hope for me to be the focus of my wifes affection or is this situation too fargone?

I'd like to give a unique gift that sort of represents something, like love or friendship. Just not a gift that they registered for. That's no fun. Please help!

My boyrfiend and I have our own relationship issues, but its even harder with his family - His brother and his girlfriend (they have 5 kids) are crackheads...They blow money borrowed or sell stuff...Last night he came to borrow 8.00 and we didnt have 8.00 only a 20.00 - He begged and bug the hell out of my bf till he gave it up - Luckliy today when his brothers gf called to borrow 20-40, my boyfriend said NO. Its very hard for him cuz its family but he knows we have our life and bills to take care of. They dont work and live with her mom. They will run out of milk and use the money for drugs then cry abot milk and diapers. Which we have broght them to for the kids - not money cuz they wont use it right.
but recently his mom lost her place and moved in with us to save money and get her own place. We have held money for her to help her save but then she needs money and gets money back. She has no bills - other than helping us out which we dont ask for. Sha hasnt saved any money. 1 month

i like a boy, and be4, In November, he admitted that he liked me. But now, when I asked him if he still likes me, he said no not really. I still like him and wanna know if i can somehow " open" his eyes, and make him see me as more than just a classmate/buddy.

This is sort of a continuation from my other question. Anyway, the bf & I broke up about 3 weeks ago over something, which in hindsight seems pretty trivial. We both graduated college not too long ago & just started our new jobs so there isn't as much time to spend together as before. But he initated the breakup & said that "We should just be friends," yet in reality we both agreed that we would never "just be friends." We both dated other people since meeting each other & I have to say I just can't shake the feelings I have for him. After the initial breakup, we didn't talk for 1 week b/c he didn't pick up any of my calls & but he started calling a lot like he used to, to say good night, etc. A few days ago, he came to my house to bring me dessert & a DVD he wanted me to watch & he's asked me to lunch twice since he's consulting at a company not too far from my office. I don't know what's going on, are we just friends? I can't seem to get a straight answer from him.

I have been in contact with a woman who is still married, they are divorcing, they have spent the last 6 yrs living seperate lives, she fosters and he pretty much has no part of that and his social life is his only importance, i started speaking to her 10 months ago and we just became good friends, i have met her on 2 occasions where we have spent time together and nights, we have just talked and enjoyed each others company and have grown into much more than friends even though we have both chose to not go down the bedroom side of things, we have not made any plans for after her divorce as we feel it is not appropriate at this time however we both feel that something will become of us once we are both in a situation to want it,,, does this sound and is this a really bad thing we are doing ?????

Because of problems between his family and me, my bf is considering getting married without a wedding. His family won't approve of us because I'm not a Catholic and that I won't convert. We've been planning for our wedding for months and now he said that the wedding is off because his parents won't be there. He's been trying to convince his parents but wasn't able to. He said he'd be in an awkward position if his parents aren't there for him. I don't know what to do now, because I've always dreamt of a perfect wedding. It really means a lot to me.

My son is 5 years old and the principle called me this morning and told me that he got wrote up for hitting another child. I don't know if he hit the child first or was defending himself but his conduct is not good at all. Other than that, he makes 100% on all of his work. I have tried taking away his toys and video games and making him go to bed early and nothing ever works. BTW, I do spank him and nothing works. Me and his dad are divorced. Any suggestions to help him improve?
