Family & Relationships - 25 January 2007

I am an adult, but I am a very nice person who does not want to go yelling at other people or putting others down. My sister wants to control my thoughts, my religious beliefs ( she is a very strict christian and i am a Gnostic christian) , what i should or should not be watching on television, what i can believe or not believe, and now the new one is how I tell her a story which is the craziest thing i ever heard. She is always harsh and judgemental if i am not like her and its not done out of love. She cannot stand if people are not like her in the family. I get the most of the crap in the family from her. I cannot deal with it anymore so could someone please tell me what I can do or say the next time she makes a harsh judgemental or controlling comment towards me? The only time she is really nice to me is when she is talking about herself! Listen to this, she really had a suspision of online college because I am getting A's, how insulting is that. I work hard for my grades.

my husband was dating other women. i filed for a seperation. he stopped, however doesn't think it was wrong. he said he wanted to work it out and go to counceling and was willing to do what ever it took. he didn't...He use the counselor to try to get me to sign off my kids in a postnuptial agreement, instead. i changed the case to a divorce. now again, he says "i'll do what ever you want, just tell me what it is". We live as roomates at home, theres no love or effection. we dont talk...and some how i have to tell him how to do this? is he really that ignorant? he wants me to tell him what to do. he hates me! he should start with that. should i really have to tell him how to love his wife? should i really have to be this spacific. he plays severe mind games and i think he just wants to continue this never ending emotional rollercoster. i fear that if i believe him, AGAIN, he will say i'm instable and take my kids.

I am an AVON Independent Sales Representative. Recently, I have been thinking about "party selling" but not sure what makes people want to host a party.

If you are in direct sales, what are your best strategies for group sales?
If you are someone who likes to host selling parties, how do you determine which companies to host in your home?

my husband has a low sex drive and I am working with it because I do not.In the past week he has been talking in his sleep and acting out sexual motions...(3 times this week) And Im not the one he is talking about...( it is no one that I know.)I dont think that he is having an affair.Normaly I would say its not a big deal ,we all do it.But he is waking me up in the middle of the night and Im almost to the point of sleeping in the other room. I only get 3-4 hrs of sleep and its starting to hurt my feelings..Should I say something to him? What could be the cause of it.

Why do I feel like I need a constant reminder that there is NOTHING wrong in my relationship with my boyfriend? The last 3 bf's I have had (including the one Im with now), I constantly worry about stupid stuff....like, weather he likes me or not, & weather he wants to be with me or not. I worry if I dont talk to him, or if we are on the phone and dont have anything to say, I worry that he's bored with me and plans to break up with me. He doesnt know I do this, I dont let it show, so Im not worried about freaking him out about it. But I have to keep telling myself everything is fine, and look back over text messages when I need a physical reminder. Again, Im cool, calm, & collected with Im with him/on the phone. Its almost like I cant think logically about things....I make stuff up in my head & worry about it!

I know this isnt normal..its psycho! Is anybody else like this? What can I do about it? Is it just some kind of insecurity within myself? Any SERIOUS advice would be appreciated

There is no wrong answers here, just be honest. It could be anything from Money matters, to having contact with old flames, or just not giving all the information to your spouse to not upset them. Both Men, and Woman also should answer this one, because it's not only men who do this.

My husband is in Canada this week for business. He tells me this morning that his co-worker and boss both have naked pictures of their wife/girlfriend around the home. I assume they are tastefully done and not like gross porn pictures. They both used the same photographer. I am a little weirded out. I have never met the boss or his wife. I have met the co-worker and his girlfriend. In fact they came for a visit and stayed at our cabin last year. But now I am like, okay, my husband has seen her naked! I am not a prude but in all honesty I am not that comfortable with my body that I would do that. And if I did, I think they would be private pictures for my husband, not hanging up in the living room next to the fireplace. Is this like a new thing? A Canadian thing?

I just want to know why when some guys have to lie. I can confront my husband with things that I've busted him on doing and have proof in my hand that he has done it and he will still look me in the eye and lie to my face. Whats up guys? Help me to understand.

I think I love him, not a deep love, but a love you know?? and yes I do know what love is. Just please let me know if this has happened to you or someone you have known?

When I tell him things that I would like to have done for me, he may try the littlest thing, but goes right back to me catering to him ALL the time. I've thought about not doing the things that I do for him, such as cooking, cleaning, etc., but then would that be beneficial?

You tell a girl you like her, but you do not think anything would work between you two. She says we can "have a nice friendship". Now, she is awkward around me. Why? We are pretty good friends!

We just started living in the same city and we've been together a year and a half. He seemed to like intimacy as much as I did. Last week, he started to seem less interested. His reason was that he was tired, but he's been tired before and this wasn't a problem. Is he really tired or is he uninterested?

We talk all the time we have been w/ eachother two times...we totally adore eachother. We finish eachothers sentences, we say things at the same time (jinx) we completely understand eachother too. I talk to his family on the phone to let them know how he is doing in Iraq too and we are all very close. I love him soo much and I want to be with him always and he feels the same. Do you believe that ppl meet this way for a reason? Do you beleive that relationships work if you meet online? I believe that we did meet for a reason b/c we have both been hurt before and we understand one another so well its like complete magic!!! Let me know...thanks
