Family & Relationships - 20 March 2007

and I don't know what to do. It's my dad, and we've never really gotten along. I live in NY and they're way down in NC. Yes, I go and visit but, I don't feel like that's still enough. I think I'm just trying to make up for lost time but, it's not helping-at least, not to the extent I feel it should. I feel lost. It's really a crappy feeling, and no one helps. I mean, they offer empathy, but I want advice. What is he sick with? Everything. And no, I'm not kidding. I only wish I were. He's a severe hypochondriac, and I'm all into holistic healing (the power of the mind, vitamins, herbs, minerals) and he loves going to physicians and hospitals while I don't believe in Western medicine. Regardless, I just need ideas on how to cope. And my mom coddles him endlessly, so she never listens. I hope someone will answer me-thanks. ~N

i ve noticed that Most of the white guys i ve met prefer African to African American girls. I'm wondering why this is the case.I now realize that it's not the black thing but i don't understand. I ve African friends that i hung out with, all the african girls i know & i ve met are dating & some married to successful white American men.I don't mean to sound like a B but i'm beautiful & lighter in complexion than all my african friends. I do understand that African girls are good, thats why i prefer than as my friends but my do white guys always leave me out. whenever we go out as a group of friends, the white guys after talking to us will always ask for phone numbers of the african girls & leave us the african american girls out. I mean they do talk to us but thats it. they always seem to be more interested in the african girls.some African Americans say, you can bet that whenever you see a white man with a black woman, 90% of the time the woman is african.WHY.i'm attracted to white men

I hear a lot of Italian men like Black women. I'm half Italian (and half German) and I admit that I love my girlfriend, not because she's black, but because she is the most beautiful and intelligent woman in the world to me.

I hear that they like them because of there skin tones, lips, and naturally curvy figures. My question is, is this really true? If it is, what do you (or they) like? If not, why not? Is it for a stupid reason like color alone or is it for a solid reason?

Would you like you go on a date and possibly start a RELATIONSHIP with. ..(A) a handsome guy who sometimes smokes cigarettes and is somewhat a"rebel", and is the type who argues a lot and may be needy, but is the type who initiates conversations with almost everyone he sees, and deep down is a good person.(B) a strong, handsome guy who is a little shy but is very respectful of women, and is not the type to initiate conversations with girls or start fights over nothing..but you can tell he is very nice and just needs to open up to you, or (C) a guy who dresses "metrosexual" such as bright colored, tight clothes, and is the type of person who makes a lot of jokes, and is pretty funny and has a lot of fun? A,B, or C...please tell me why you chose.

Maybe it's dumb, but I'd like to hear it more than once or twice a year when I ask him if he still loves me. If I ask, he says, "I married you. That should tell you something." He says it's ridiculous when I tell him that sometimes I feel down and wonder how he feels about me. A long time ago he told me that he never says anything he doesn't mean, so I wonder if he doesn't feel like saying it because he doesn't feel like he means it.

I'm just having an insecure and vulnerable moment, but if anybody (especially guys) has any insight or advice I'd appreciate it right now. Thanks.

oki so every guy i talk to, always gets the idea that i like them and i had enough of that. i just found out today that my 3 guy friends think that i'am hot but easy to get (what in the world does that mean) i found this out because my friend over hearded thier conversation.
i asked my friend if it looked like i was flirting and she said that it did look like it but since she knows me, she knows that that's the way i just talk to guys, also that i'am really innocent and the guys just think that I'm pretending to be.
what can i do so my other guys friends don't take me the wrong way?

I have seen some of the dumbest questions here. Men, quit bragging on yourselves, you only look more foolish.

before me and my husband got married, he told me he didnt want to be with me, later i found out i was pregnant, then he wanted to marry me, well between the time we wasnt together i messed around with someone else, he didnt know, but i told him after we got married.well he cheated on me since we've been married, and lied about it too, i found out on my own, he even told the girl he loved her and wanted to be with her, cheating is cheating but its worst when your married, who is mostly wrong?

Do anything not to pay child support? My sons father went to jail because he was stuiped (this is his second time) And went to court and stopped all child support. Because he is in jail and does not make any money. I thought that should go into rears. Like it did the first time around. Now i get nothing not even in the rears. That is not fair.

Are you always sure about it? There are many times when i doubt it. Is it normal? I mean, he's the guy i used to think as "the ideal guy" before i met him. But now i still doubt if i should stay with him... I guess it's just my character.

PS: I'm 18 and i've been in this relationship for a year.
