Family & Relationships - 22 March 2007

My friend calls me on his phone and says he wants to hangout so I assume he's got my number. Then he gets on leave from the military and later says he lost my phone number so I give it to him over the Internet. I don't hear from him. Maybe I should've called him but I thought his number changed. But anyway one day I'm on MySpace and I find out he married his ex-fiance. I mean we kept in touch but he was overseas.What bothers me is he's always talking about I'm his boy, we'll never grow apart. We were best friends in high school. Are weddings that big of a deal? To be honest I'm not really surprised. He's 20, I'm 19; I don't think anything's real when you're young.

I don't know when someone is teasing me or just joking? 60% of the time I know but the other times I am not sure. Why am I so serious? How do I know when someone is just kidding me? How do I loosen myself up? How do I become less boring and more lively?

In case you are wondering, I am not that much of a nerd. I'm in cheerleading but I do hit my books.

My wife and I got married 14 years ago. I was working as a marine biologist and wasn't making much money. I had to have help from my parents at first just to make the rent. I decided to try something different and we moved so I could go to engineering school. I moved her away from her family. We had a child and moved again, another child and moved again, and moved again always trying to get a better job and do better for my family. However, in all of this moving and trying to make bigger bucks and chasing rainbows, I didn't take into account the emotional damage I was doing by keeping her away from her mother and sisters. I continually looked for a job near them but was unsuccessful. We started having money problems about 5 years ago even though I was making pretty good money. I found out that we didn't have money because she was spending it all on "substance abuse" - and later alcohol to dull her pain... Her family moved to our town after Katrina. Now she is hating me...

And no....I don't want to hear any happily ever after stories...although I'm happy for those that made it work. My marriage was a joke and my hubby is the one that has done all the laughing. I've cried more than I smiled during this marriage...loved him with my everything...and it was not enough. He is such a jerk!! Who else married an idiot?

It seems like at least once a week my boyfriend asks if I'm losing interest or becoming bored with the relationship. I feel badly because that means I'm showing signals thats making him think that! More importantly....

why does he keep asking when I tell him I love him with all my heart and I love spending time with him? How do I let him know he's my one and only?

I was wondering about this should one date another that is oh lets say 20 years older than them or does that matter if the two really like each other and enjoy being together or is this wrong or should one feel guilt or bad about being part of this?

This really gorgeous guy came up to me today and told me he knew me from somewhere. My co worker told me he was trying to talk to me. I just brushed it off. How can I make myself easier to approach? I want to meet guys, but I am scared. Of what I don't know.

I finally decided to break up with my bf of 3 years. We could never see eye to eye. Most of our relationship was long distance, my major complaint was that he never had the urge to unite us, he just wanted me to move to him without a proposal, and give up everything I worked for here, a great career, a home and a network of friends. He talked about marriage but never came through, kept saying our arguing was what stopped him. The reason we argued was because I was always telling him how lonely I was without him and how much I want to be with him. He seemed so content with the way things were, and it killed me. The weekend visits were agonizing to me, especially when it was time to say goodbye. It was like my heart was getting ripped out. I love him so much, but been waiting for him to make the move and ask me to marry him, and he wouldnt. I dont get it. I decided to move on, but it is so painful, and draining, I dont know how to do it. How can he do this to me if he loved me ?

we were together for 4-5 years. I developed severe anxiety and depression then we broke up, but still talked for 6 months after. She found someone else, but hid that person from me. I found out and said goodbye to her last sunday. It's been 5 days now and I cant stop thinking about her. Is she thinking about me as much? I know deep down she still cares about me alot, it just sucks. Why won't she just come back to me, i let her go. As they say if you lov something let it go, if it comes back to you its yours to keep?

A lot of girls tell me I'm the sweetest guy ever. I compliment on the tiniest things, I open doors, I'm always sweet to girls I like. If I'm so nice, why do they all have boyfriends who cheat on them, fight with them, disrespect them and more? If I'm so nice, why am I not with the girl I love so much? She won't even talk to me anymore. What if I started insulting her (I wouldn't actually mean it), treating her like she's trash even though she's special, and started just treating her downright evil?

I like this guy at work a lot. I catch him looking at me but he really doesn't talk to me a lot. He will talk to everyone else but me it's simple conversation. Like "What are you going to do this weekend...really....uh huh" Then he will turn around and walk away. It is frustrating. I know he checks me out, I have caught him. But he just doesn't talk to me, like he talks with everyone else. It is obvious that he either likes me or hates me. Or he can tell I like him and just wants to stay away. Either way, I need some advice on what to do.

I am having a Black-Tie wedding and it's going to be held in an *EXTREMELY* nice hotel (Think Plaza Hotel of NYC). Most everyone going owns a tuxedo, but we are not snobby people (most of us graduated from the University of Florida, lol) so I don't want "waltz-y" ballroom music the whole time, yet I think I'd feel uncomfortable playing songs like "Dirrty" by Christina Aguleria.

***By the way, this music is for the reception. The ceremony music is already picked***

Thanks for ANY suggestions!
