Family & Relationships - 13 March 2007

In my culture, my fiancee or the one I marry has to pay my parents a dowry of up to 8,000 dollars just to marry me, and the minimum of 5,800. I dont know whether I should consider myself fortunate or not, but I just wanted to know how many guys would do this for their girls.

Okay here is the deal, my boyfriend and I have been together for almost six years. I love him unconditionally and I know he loves me too. I could never see myself being with another man (emotionally or physically), but I sometimes find myself wondering what it would feel like to be with someone else. Our love hasn't died, we still show each other everyday our love for one another. I wonder about past relationships. I wonder if things went differently... would I be less/more happier. I don't know if this is a "step" in life I am going through, or if I am starting to fall out of love. Please Help!! Or share a simiular story.

There's this certain guy that I happened to lock eyes with in a public setting and he would not stop looking into my eyes and I turned away because I felt that he could see my soul. I knew him for a few months before he did this, but I orignally considered him to be just a friend although I thought he's cute and our conversations went on and he didn't want to stop talking to me. When we had our first conversation, someone else noticed our chemistry but I just thought it was a friendly chemistry. Also, I keep running into him whenever he randomly pops into my mind and its scary, like I am going somewhere and he is too and I run into him without ever having contact w/ him. It's been at least several times when this occurred. And he remembers like everything I say by mentioning it in our next conversation & he mirrors my body language. Like if I put my hand on a table he'll do the same thing 20 seconds later. Oh & when he looks at me I see a twinkle in his brown eyes.

OK I'll try to make this short. I dated my ex for a short time then HE ended it. He's 26, I'm 21. He has lots of experience with dating, while he was my first kiss & first bf. Our relationship was so innocent, cuddling in his room, holding hands, kissing. We never had sex cuz he knew I wanna save sex for marriage. He would still say hi to me on msn even though HE ended it. It has been over for more than ONE YEAR. 2 months ago, he called me, after one yr. & wanted to make plans together so we could see a movie sometime. We set a date, he picked me up & after the movie he took me home. IOn the drive home, when I asked him why he wanted to see me, he said that he wants to "see me every once in awhile". I felt disrespected so when I got home I said "bye forever" to him on msn. Then I felt bad so a week later I said sorry to him on msn. Since then I have said hi to him 2 on msn. Then a few days ago he said hi to me on msn & he wanted to know what I had been up to.

I mean, HELLO?!?!?!?! There comes a time in life were it's not worth it. Just tell the damn truth. If you just want to get laid, say you just want to get laid. Saying you want a relationship and getting into the other's soul is a waste of time and waste of pain to the other person at your own risk when you are 25 and above, right?? Why do guys continue with the high school behaviour when it's sooooooooooooooooooo not worth the time and pain inflicted onto others,and possibly the other's child????????????????????????????????????

I've finally come to the conclusion that this whole dating thing is not for me. I'm fine with the whole idea of being a spinster for life. what do you guys really want in a girl? a good girl or a bad girl or an in between and if an in between, when is it best for her to show her bad girl side versus her angelic?

Why am I doing this to myself??? My ex husband is 7 years younger than me, he is an ex because he was a junkie and I caught him cheating with our teeny bopper neighbor.
Why do i still love and care about him??? He was a druggie, and blamed the incident on being high...I know that at times he was high and didn't remember what he had done the night before...He went to rehab voluntarily, and is now serving time for assault because his drug problem...Why do i care...

We knew each other when we were younger-had the same circle of friends, moved on -each got married and had our seperate families. Did not see each other in over 25 years. We became re-united 3 years ago, became very close friends. We saw each other everyday while he was at work then he started coming to my house in the mornings for coffee, sometimes in the evening on his way home from work, we spent one evening together, I never felt so complete with anyone and I'm 47 years old! He has been married for 30 years, we crossed the line of friendship, his wife discovered that we were talking on the phone every day at least once and sometimes up to 5 or 6 times a day. She was and still very angry that we became so close, and she felt very threatened by me so she demanded that he stop talking to me, that was a year ago, we still talk every couple of days and we have met occasionally, not sexually. She never lets him forget about me, she brings my name up often-thows it in his face...

For my birthday my boyfriend's mother bought me the tackiest, ugliest, smallest, handbag, that was also very expensive. I feel like crying at the thought of actually being seen in public with it. Would it be tacky to gently tell her that I love it but would it be okay to exchange it for something more practical that isn't pink and purple and perhaps larger so I could use it often to remind me of her kindness???? I can't imagine why anyone would think that this is nice, but I don't want to insult her either.

What's it all about for you? Making commitments for the rest of your life, or the wedding ceremony as an excuse for the biggest best, most expensive honeymoon ever. I'm going on honeymoon to Cornwall for a week- I see it as a way to relax together and revel in the new status of our relationship. My friend amazed me when I told her by saying her wedding would be all about the honeymoon. She is in a long term relationship and intends to marry the guy. What's your view?

How do you deal with guys who have commitments issues? I have a friend who I like and am attracted to him as well. I think he's also physically attracted to me and probably likes me as well. But the thing is I THINK he has commitment issues. I've seen him jump around from one girl to another and cannot really stick to one. What should I? Should I hook up with him? How do I get into him involved in a relationship with me? How should I act so he won't run away after our night together?

Please give me some advice how to deal with guys who have commitment issues.

is it natural for my boyfriend to accuse me of checking out others guys when they walk buy... even if it's just something as simple as me looking up when they walk by and then saying that i feel bad for what they're wearing (boys went to a privte school near where we were). Is it normal.. and is it ok?

I heard a lady on NPR state: "My husband loves St. Patrick's Day because it is the only time he can cook corned beef & cabbage in my house." Are men actually living under these conditions or is it just window-dressing?

Hello, I am a virgin. (not really by choice) haha. And one of the few I know of these days, however i find people constantly telling me after losing theres that "its not that big of a deal". So, Id like some opinions on why people feel they need to say this to me, and if its not a big deal then why does EVERYONE talk about sex constantly.

My ex-boyfriend and I broke up 6 months after I left for college but have remained friends (he broke up with me b/c he couldn't handle the long distance and I am also seven years younger.) Its been 2 1/2 years and he continues to call me every two weeks or so, send me texts saying he misses me etc. He use to want to get sexual with me when I came to visit but now, for the first time ever..he said he has to be good and the sex is "weird" because we do it and then don't talk for awhile. tells me he loves me, misses me, but has to be good. What does this mean? he says doesn't love anyone else and texts me all the time saying he misses me etc. . do you think he wants me for the future and doesnt want to ruin it? does this show respect? what do you think? he changed his behavior after he thought he hurt me by being too busy to see me a couple time when i came home to visit. does he see me for the future
