Family & Relationships - 23 February 2007

My boyfriend has been so stressed out these days about his job. He's been feeling very low. He had a fight with his boss as his boss refused to promote him and in his job the only way forward is to be promoted. He works till evenings and in the meantime he goes for interviews in the lunch time looking for a new job. He spends his evenings and weekends preparig himself for these interviews. He's actually going for 2 big interviews near my city in 2 weeks time so we can see each other more often. He told me yesterday that we will meet each other in 2 weeks. He told me he needs time to focus and he warned me he may be less available for me until then but I have not been able to leave him alone. I have become needy and I told him we're loosing our relaitonship. He became upset with me. He said he has warned me, he has tried to explain to me his situation but I keep insisting on having talks about our relaitonship. He said I don't respect him to let him be. He said he cannot help him now.

Johnny Cash covers Hurt, the song can tell many stories of one's life, what does it tell for you?

They are 12 & 13 yr old girls.

He was MIA for many yrs, then about 4 yrs ago he decided to get involved. (Well, not MIA exactly... he knew where we were & I knew where he was... he just wasnt interested... we were only about 8 miles apart.)

The younger child NEVER bonded with him. The older one did. They saw each other a few hours every other weekend. Then, last year, he went MIA again...

This Christmas I put both girls in contact with his mom (who he lives with) b/c his dad is dying and I didnt think it should be HIS choice to deny the girls &his parents these last few mos.

Now he continually harasses them through nasty text messages on their cells. (No we cant block)

Current court order that says
~visitation is at the discretion of my girls & their counselor
~he must participate in counseling & pay for it (he doesnt)

He has 2 more children that are younger than mine. He treats them the same way.

How do I keep my girls from internalizing his behavior?

If you are the bride and the groom had a name like patio, roof, stairwell, gutter, etc.
Would you take his name?
What if you could add one or two letters to the grooms name and it would a cool name!??!
Would or should you change it (both of you together)
It would save your future children being made fun of !!
Would you do it??
Why or why not?
Then both of you COULD change it to the cool name.


Here is another idea....
Put the two names together with brides last name such as:
patiotaylor,roofmiller, patiosmith, stairwellmiller etc.
This is a real question!!
Thanks for your thoughts!!!

i have a problem. im 14 and my sister is 15. you can immagine we but-heads all the time.. but heres the problem..

she has serious issues with my mom and is always fighting.. it seems typical for a 15 year old daughter to fight but they are really loud and mean and hurtful fights.. this puts tension on the WHOLE family... and really hurts me. i never want to be around my sister anymore.. shes always grumpy.. my mom is always upset and hurt.. and my dad is angrry because all they do is fight. this really tears me apart because she is always having fun and getting into trouble.. and im like the good child. i never go out. i never get in trouble. i never have fun because i dont want to be a neusence. what should i do? ive confronted my dad but get NOTHING back.??

I have a bit of a crush on this guy who is a year older than me... I haven't actually talked to him much but my best-friend thinks he likes me... but my best friend tends to jump to conclusions quickly. When we (me and my crush) are walking down the hallway, we;ll glance at each other for a second or so but quickly look away... he mentioned to my brother (who happens to be one of his good friends) that he wants a girlfriend (he's not some desperate creep though....) Idk... we have a lot of things in common too like class choices (which in my case is rare)- but we don't actually have any of the same classes, and we have many of the same interests... but not so many that it would be boring to be with him. What do you think?

...I am glad he hasnt but I am wondering what it means. He kisses me so I know he likes me. I really like him and he works way too much and has very little free time. He has spent most of what he has with me. He passes out alot and we fall asleep all snuggly but I am so confused. He works two jobs and has a small business. Thats what I use to justify his always falling asleep. I am getting so attached to him and sometimes Im not sure of whats going on in his head. We speak every day on the phone and in the begining it was 3 or so times a day. I almost want to run away before I get hurt. He doesnt seem to like to go out much.....and I met him in a bar..his second time there and my first. I dont get why he has not tried to sleep with me. I wonder if he just doesnt think of me "that" way. Maybe he thinks I have cooties. I guess Im not really asking a question, Im just seeking advice. Do I run away yet or wait to see what happens? Is he attracted to me? Why does he always fall asleepwithme

I have a huge crush on this guy that I go to school with. I used to talk to him fine in the beginning...but i suddenly started liking him, and everything has changed. I see him everyday in class and at the library, and everytime I walk by him, or anytime he is nearby, I freak out. Everyday I tell myself that I will start a conversation with him, and even plan out what I am going to say, but each time I chicken out. How do I get the nerve to talk to this guy. I'm so afraid that I may go up to him and lose my voice or start stuttering. I'm 22 and in medical school...but i just cant talk to guys....

I really dislike myself, low self-esteem and have no confidence at all and all this stops me from finding a partner and I wanted to know how to fake it so then I can actually start believing it..

Do men last longer in bed in the morning? I usually don't have sex with my man in the morning and usually if we don't have sex for more than 3 or 4 days he usually only lasts a few minutes. But we had sex the other morning and lasted like we had been having sex for a few days. Do you think he cheated on me? or just a fluke?

ive liked this guy names tyler since before thanksgiving but he has a girlfriend (he could do so much better than her even if its not with me). my best friend knew it and then about a month ago i realized that i needed to move on so at the valentines dance i danced with this guy named kyle and he was so sweet. he would pull me in and then make sure that i was ok with being that close to him. we danced for like 7 songs so close that his belt was pushing into me. well i decided that i could really like him so over this past month ive liked him but today i found out that "he doesnt like me like that". also i found out today that my best friend really likes tyler (the guy ive like since before thanksgiving) and i realized coming home that ive never stopped liking tyler. what should i do since she likes him and he flirts with both of us. what should i do with kyle since hes be flirting with me for the last month but he doesnt seem to like me. is he sending me mixed signals or is it just me?

My mom is always leaving us home alone (13, 8 and 5 yr old) to see her boyfriend for hours at a time, while my dad is at work. Yes my dad knows she is doing this to him, he loves her very much and is always trying to win her back. He doesn't know what to do. She always says that my grandma is going to take care of us, just because she leave is the front house. I ask my grandma if my mom asks her to take care of us while she sees him, she always says that my mom never has asked her. If I were to report her to someone at school at would they takes us away from my mom and dad or just my mom.
