Family & Relationships - 26 February 2007

Am I crazy for disconnecting our cable because my husband watched wayyy too much tv?
He was mad at first, and now he's ok with my plan for us to watch less tv and do more activity. But I'm starting to wonder if I'm crazy for doing it in the first place-was this rational behavior?
Of course I had already tried a million other things to get him off the couch, including telling him it concerned me, inviting him to do a myiad of other activities. He had gained about 80 pounds from all his tv watching and eating. I know how hard he has tried to lose the weight and be more active, but every time he watched tv, he'd watch so long, he'd forget his other plans or goals. I did it coming from a good place.

He was definitely exhibiting compulsive or addictive behaviors. I had warned him at least twice that I would take this step if he continued to spend entire weekdays or nights on the couch with the tv.

I am getting married in May. As part of our celebration, we are inviting our guests to stand up an answer a question about the bride and/or groom which will make us kiss. I want to leave a few basic questions on each table.

Other than the obvious questions, (for example, "how long have the bride and groom been dating" or "what is the groom's favorite cookie") we are out of ideas. Please help me come up with some more questions!!

I have been dating my bf for over a year now. We havent had any problems with the exception of two fights (1.he was mad at me one time when i brought something up about his past..im still not over that..and 2.he said i try and keep him away from his friends...i dont, he must forget his ex gf, not me, came between him and his friends) ANYWAY
I would say for the first 6-7 months or so everything was almost perfect..but now I just dont know whats changed.
1. He NEVER says he misses me anymore..no more than a week will go by but I miss him all the time.
2. He does say I love you, but only when we hang up the phone, like its just another word for bye.
3. Sometimes when I stay more than one night (we live an hour away so I stay over the weekends sometimes) he gets really moody like hes tired of me or that I am some annoyance to him.
4. Any time I bring up his "mood" he says "well I bought you that ring..and " whatever it is at the time") to justify his behavior.
More...

[please dont be mean. its a big issue!!]

to start things off. im still in high school and im a junior. my best friend moved before freshman year but we always have been close. during this time. it has always been me, hill, and this guy brandon [who hill and him were going out but broke up but still were MADLY in love with each other.] anyways hill tried getting over him and found another guy. but she still liked brandon.

anways she sent an email to brandon pretty much stating that she loved him and blah blah blah. they got in a fight. so she doesnt talk to him anymore.

we started hanging cause she told me to so i can see if he loves her back. well its been at least a week and a few people told me that he had a MAJOR crush on me.

1: i have never liked him like that. i will never!
2: im sure she has heard about it because she wont talk to me!

what am i to do? i didnt want this! i did what she wanted me to do! what should i do? i want my friends back!

I just recently broke up with my boyfriend (last week) and am already wondering how long it will take me to get a new one. He was a great guy and I'm sad about our relationship ending, but I want to find Mr. Right. I'm only 27, but I feel like I need to find him soon. I can't just be happy being single, I feel too alone. Some of my friends are single and happy about it, they don't seem to need a man all the time. Whats wrong with me that I just can't be happy being single, but always have to be searching for my next man?

Last week, I found out I'm pregnant. I'm 24. I've been with my boyfriend for almost 2 years, and even though we have a "stable" relationship, I didn't want to think about kids or anything like that. However, and without getting into details, I've already had abortions before, and I don't want to go through that again, so I figure I have to keep this child. I estimate that I'm probably about 4 to 5 weeks pregnant. So the question doesn't have to do with the baby itself, since I'm gonna keep it, but more with my fear of what's in store for the future. For example, I was planning on starting law school this year, but now I'm going to have to postpone that. Plus, I'm not even that sure I'm happy with my boyfriend. I've been thinking about leaving him for months now, but we live together and it's pretty hard to break up under those circumstances. And now I'm pregnant. Any ideas? I'm really depressed, and that can't be good for the baby...

why do they wait until you are ready to move on to get serious? I have been living with my boyfriend for 2 years and now that I am ready to move out, he is wanting to try. I have given him numerous chances to include me in his life, all ending up with me feeling alone and neglected now, he says things will be different. I told him that I love him and still want only him, I just feel he needs more time on his own before he can truly commit to me. What do you think am I being stupid or is this a good move?

Seriously, so my hub is locked up because he is stupid and violated his probation and got caught drinking, but anyway, two weeks ago she went to visit him and told him that I didn't want to go see him anymore, that I am the worst mother to our 6yr old boy. She don't think is necesary to call me and tell me where they are and what time they will be getting home when she has my son. And gets offended when I call her to find out. She thinks she can just decided for my son what is best for him. I'm sorry but with my hub in prison and her daughter running away with her boyfriend, I don't think she really is qualified to tell me how I should rise my son. Now, my hub seems to believe everything she says. I am pretty much tired of the whole thing. My hub is a MACHO man!?! who still listens to his mother!. He wants me to go visit him again this weekend, but I don't really feel like making the 6hr trip to have to sit through 2 hrs of bitching and have to sit another 6hr driving back home.
