Family & Relationships - 28 February 2007

I'm a single mother, and I am feeling extremely overwhelmed. I have a demanding job, but it pays very well. I have two daughters that want to participate in everything that they can after school. I have a live-in boyfriend that seems to make more of a mess than not. I feel guilty about asking him to do anything. When he does do something, I feel like he's giving me a kidney or something. I want to take time for myself too. Is that too much to ask? I'm in tears and the end of my rope is fast approaching. Any advice or at least some sympathy?

My best friend and I are on maternity leave. My friend has decided that she only wants to be a homemaker now and no longer wants to work outside of the home. Her husband earns enough to support the family well on his income alone. My other friends make fun of her now behind her back and say that she is a loser for not wanting more. I am only worried that if he leaves her, which I doubt highly, that she will be in a bad way. What should I advise her, what should I tell our friends who make fun of her?.

my ex and i broke up 3 months ago yet lately i have noticed some very weird things like i was going to put the lyrics to a new song up on my msn but before i could he had already done so! a few days passed and i saw he was on msn again ( we don't talk tho haven't done since he dumped me on msn, coward i know) anyway i looked at his private message and their were some very familiar lyrics to a different song this time by frou frou! the lyrics were taken from the very same song 'let go' which i had download 2 months ago! he couldn't of known! Two very different bands of which he and i never spoke of, its really weird. i didn't think me and my ex had that much in common apart from having the same cuddly toy when we were kids! i'm seeing someone else now and we are very different eg we don't have the same taste in music and i know i shouldn't make a big deal of all this but i found it so weird!
this happened to anyone? fate? why am i noticing this now? we have both moved on

I'm currently attending high school, and pretty much every good looking girl acts "thugged out", it seems that they care more about buying sneakers and messing around with guys way older than them that believe their in gangs, than their future.

i went out with a couple girls like this, and everything seems goes wrong, they never seem to understand what i'm saying, so all the conversations i engage lead to silence

so i'm basicly asking how can i spark up a future date

When you think this other girl is falling in love with your partner or vise versa. My partner says that I have no reason not to truth her b/c she have never gave me a reason not to. Supposeually they are related but its impossiable b/c this chick is russian and my girl isn't. I mean they both are adopted and all so I don't know but still ii've been so worried I've tried to talk to her and then she gets mad at me =( someone please help!!

She's never cheated on me or anything and hasn't gave me a reason not to trust her but all I here is about this girl and all and it makes me jealous and its like it doesn't matter to her or she gets mad at me.

I was gonna get on with a room mate. But if I cant my bf wants me to move in with him. (As in this weekendd). He said he would pay for everything I would only have to pay my bills I brought with me. At the end of the month I would have 500 left. I'm going to put 200 into a money market account, just in case I need money or something. I feel bad becuase if I do move in with him, I would only be able to offer 300 to the relationship. He makes WAY more money then me. But I talked to him about this and he said he didn't care he would pay. He said it wouldn't be any more if I lived there or not, so it wouldn't be a big deal. I still feel bad though. I don't want a sugar daddy. I want someone I can spend the rest of my life with. I was with him when he didn't have any money at all, and I payed for everything. He felt bad becuase I payed but I didn't care, I took care of him when he was down. He said he knows I want out of my parents house and he's willing support me to make me happy.

At the end of the movie when her niece gets married, the wedding was so beautiful. I'm in the beginning stages of planning my wedding and was wondering where can I get that theme. It was a parisian theme. Very, very beautiful.
I would like to recreate that wedding scene.

I just moved out of my good friend "Rose's" house because her husband "Eric" has hit on me so many times I can't keep count, even though I've threatened to tell "Rose" and avoided him when he was home (he's a long haul truck driver that is gone 2-3 weeks a month) he'd find a way. Finally I packed my bags and moved out. Rose keeps asking me why and I've hurt her feeling because we were helping each other with the living arrangements. What do I say to her? They have been married for almost 15 years with 4 children ages 12-3 years old. I don't want to break up a family or worst have my friend not believe me.

I've been around for some time and I've been observing (sometimes answering) your questions. Breaking up, falling in love, being shy, being a loser; questions about threesome, cheating, having sex... etc.

Now don't ever think I'm a jealous or a loser or something like that, but seriously: where the hell are we going? (The answer seems to be hidden in the question!)

I mean... Even kids are having sex. In fact, questions here are either about having sex or being so lonely. The community of horny people and losers.

What about love? Are people going crazy, or is it just me? Anyone who wants to talk and share feelings about love and friendship are welcome.

Today I feel depressed because I have a feeling of worthlessness. Las week my childhood friend came from my country to visit me, she's like my sister and she invited me to have a dinner together. When we went to a restaurant and after 2 hrs. I came home and my husband doesn't talk to me. Monday he went in a bussiness trip and has been 7 days without calling me or nothing, he just calls our children that are in college. But I don't have a social life, when he's at home my friends can't come over or call me because he gets mad at me. I feel now after so many year or marriage that I don't want to spend the rest of my life with a man that doesn't respect me or care about me. When he calls and he's traveling just calls to check if the house is ok, if I mow the lawn, if I put fertilizer, if I take care of his truck for change oil and stuff like that. He made ugly comments to me about my breast, that are big. That my legs are not ok for high hills. My height is 5' 8 and my weight is 145 .

How do you get the strength to walk away from someone who doesn't love you. I am seeing this guy and I care for him so much but he doesn't feel the same. We talk and see each other a few times a week and each time it gets worse. (I fall deeper) I think about him when we are not together and I want to become a real couple. I won't mention it to him because he likes things the way they are and was clear in the beginning that he wasn't looking for a real relationship. I know it is completely my fault that I fell for him and that makes it worse but I just didn't expect to fall so fast or so hard. I know I should stop talking to him and stop seeing him because its unlikely that he will suddenly decide that he does want a relationship. How do I walk away? I know one day it will end and he will find someone and then I will be left even more heartbroken but how do I break my own heart now by leaving. (My stupid heart keeps telling me to wait around just a little longer)

My ex broke up with me 3 and a half weeks ago. I have decided that no contact is best for another week to give her time to reflect if the break up is what she really wants. I plan on calling her and suggesting meeting for a coffee or lunch so that I can just "test the waters"

The one thing is that whilst we were together we made pretty big plans for this weekend. I got us tickets for her favourite band. Part of me wants to invite her as she was supposed to go!

Another part of me thinks that is a bad idea. The purpose of me giving her space was so she could think. If I invite her to something we planned as a couple she might interpret that as me trying to hard for us to get back together!

What do I do?

I have a friend. I only always call her I rarely get a call from her side. And when I ask her Y she never calls me so she told me that she doesnt have money to call me or balance in her mobile.

She talks to me on the phone as long as I talk to her and our coversation is always funny and she tell me her probs and I tell her my problems and we try to solve it. I asked her many time that does she gets irritated by my calls, sometimes in a teasing manner she says that I eat her brain and sometimes she says she find me very childish she is 6 months older to me.

What bothers me is y cant she make a call to me. she calls to all other frnds bt to call me she always some excuse. she says she miss me. she sometimes buys gifts for me and she tells all her secrets only to me.

What do u think what is this going on?

please help!
