Family & Relationships - 26 February 2007

I bought my boyfriend tickets to a game for valentines day, and we broke up a few days afterward. He had asked me to hold on to the tickets, and when we broke it off, he said he didnt want to go if it wasnt with me. My good friend, who really has always been there for me, offered to buy the tickets (a little insensitively) off me and i agreed. My boyfriend and I sort of made up, and he asked about the tickets. It turned out to be that I have to work tonight (game day). He asked if it would be alright if he went with one of his buddies. Problem is I had already promised my friend i'd give her the tickets. Technically I couldnt say no to him- it was his gift! not to mention he took me to a really expensive dinner. I gave him the tickets, and my friend already asked her (jerk) boyfriend to take off work so that they could go. What do I say to her?

Yesterday (Sunday) my x-wifes husband died. I feel aweful and have mixed emotions. He was the man that cheated with my wife some 10 years ago. We had 3 children all under 18 at the time, she also had 1 child with him 6 years ago. My x-wife did every dirty trick in the book to me including bring false charges of physcial abuse during our divorce, the man she was having the affair with lived next door, she married him 3 days after our divorce. She insisted the kids call him dad and me by my first name, that didn't last long. I did get cusody of 2 of my children, their marriage was horrible, filled with huge fights and nearly divorce several times. This man hated me, but I know his hate was because he was so lied to by my x-wife, even in this past year she told him I was coming on to her and begging her to come back to me, he would call me up and yell and scream, no matter how much I told him that this wasn't true, he believed her. My x-wife loved to cause problems and keep his jealous.

I am with a man who started a custody case against his daughter's mother to get full or joint custody. The mother is of course saying that her daughter should not live with her father because of me. She told the court that I abuse my children which is not true. We just found out yesterday that everytime I correct her behavior her mother has her document it on a calendar to say that everytime she comes over she gets in trouble so she doesn't feel comfortable. I treat her daughter just as I treat my own. If she does something that she is not supposed to which is a lot just like my daughter they are 10 and 11, I let her know that it is not appropriate. I don't yell, curse or hit her, I redirect her behavior. Now she has stated to her father that I don't like her and I pick on her. Does anyone know how I can counter this calendar and these accusations against me?

We have been togather 3 years, lived togather for 2. i bring home a steady paycheck each week, his job is commisioned based. some months he will bring home $3000 & some months its $200. He is horrible with money, when he gets a check he blows it! We hardly have $ for rent each month. I have had to take out 2 personal loans just to make up for back rent. I have given him almost $10,000 in 3 yrs. His family always calls for $ I have given his sister close to $800 to put food on the table for her kids. I have never got any money back from anyone. I have given him $ for a x-box that he later sold to his friend and I never saw any money from the sale nor did he tell me he was going to sell it. I have paid for clothes b/c he tells me he 'forgot' his wallet at home once we got the. I dont know what to do. I have not given him money in a few months. His credit is horrible, due to student loans and credit cards while he is in college. How do I get my money back with no hard feelings??

I love them BUT, the insist on once a week visits, holidays including Valentines Day, Labor Day, 4th of July.........all holidays together, all birthdays together....each one individually that way we can all be together more often. Now they're insisting that we spend our vacation time at thier vacation home in Florida. Each weekly visit they pressure us more and more. They explain how lovely it is, how much fun we'd all have. I am willing to spend a day or two with them but not my entire vacation. We only have one week a year alone as a family. I am harboring resentment and don't want it to interfere with my marriage or my relationship with my in-laws but nomatter what I've ever suggested, it's pretty much thier way...they win in the end. My husband want's to be supportive but I can see it's stressing him out. He doesn't want to hurt thier feelings or mine.
I really want everyone to be happy...so that I don't feel so guilty. HElp, I need opinions. Is it me???

that are in a relationship going to strip clubs? I just don't understand why it is "ok" for a man to gawk at other women. Even get a lap dance, and stuff money down there g-strings. Why do men need to go there for bachlor parties and when "just the guys" go out. Why would they need to get exited or arroused with a bunch of men around? Some woman dont care if there men go and even go with them. Why do I get so angry about this. I know my man isn't going to "cheat on me" so why do I feel like he is when he goes to these places?

Here is my background. I was raised Catholic. When I was 19 I was married by a justice of the peace and that marriage lasted about a year and we were divorced. I then converted to Lutheran and became a confirmed member of the LCMS, along with my fiance at that time. We were married in the Lutheran church we were a member of. After 14 years of marriage he decided he wanted out and we were divorced. I am now engaged to a man who was raised in the Lutheran faith, but the ELCA. He was married in the church 12 years ago, but has been divorced about 9 years. We would like to get married in the ELCA church. Neither one of us know if this is allowed in the ELCA and feel foolish asking a pastor we don't know. We are both rather new to the area and haven't found a solid place of worship yet. This isn't something we are planning on doing immediataely as we plan on a year and a half engagement. Any input from someone who knows about this would be helpful. Thanks.

I need some advice. My wife has a twin sis and they are from another country. I just got married and her sis just got divorced. My former bro in law gave my wife's sister $1000 and a plane ticket and sent her to my house! I have had her here 2 wks, found her a room-mate (she moves today), bot her a bed, fed her and entertained her for 2 weeks. Her ex is very selfish, thinks I shud let her stay here 6 mos to save money etc. I work from home and its hard just with my wife here (who can't work now).
My sis-in-law is 23, she's an adult, but she has done little to find work in 2 weeks-she drinks all my coffee and sleeps til10am. She didnt contest the divorce, and got no settlement. Am I doing anything wrong by standing up for myself and making her move on? I dont have a bedrm for her as my spare is a gym. I think her cheapo ex just dumped her on me and I should never have agreed to house her. Isnt this his problem? She has never had a job before and I fear this is going to get worse.
