Family & Relationships - 16 April 2007

I grew up in a Baptist church, but have been away from church for a year or so. My fiancee and I have been to a United Church of Christ in the past few weeks. He really likes it, but I'm not very comfortable there, because the minister has preached some things that are not Biblical. For example, he will not take a stand on how to be saved. He says it's not his place to decide who is right and who is wrong. But the Bible is clear on how to be saved. Anyway, my fiancee wants to continue attending there, and he said I can go where ever I want. But I'd really like for both of us to go to the same church....especially once kids come into the picture. Any advice on what I should do?

I have been with my husband for 6 years, married for 2 yrs, and have 2 beautiful kids. A 3 yr old and 1 yr old. On December 2006 I found out (by child support papers that were mailed to my house) that my husband cheated on me. To make long story short, the woman who he cheated on me with has a 3 yr old daughter as well. She gave birth on October 2002 and I gave birth February 2003. While we were dating, he never told me about this 1 girl he slept with. What hurts me the most is that he never told me this. If I would have known he had cheated on me, I would have cut the relationship off. But now im confused! I have 2 beautiful kids and im just hurt. PLEASE HELP!!!

My younger brother said something really hurtful and offensive to me in front of my whole family. Should I confront my brother in front of the family or how should I go about it?

A 17 year old girl had a baby. The mother's parents had legal guardianship and were assisting her raising the baby. One day in school, she told her guidance counselor she was having stress. The guidance counselor arranged a meeting with an adoption agency the next day, and had the minor sign adoption papers without her parent's knowledge. The guidance counselor and adoption agency assisted the teenager in running away from home and hiding her whle she signed the papers. They then took the baby away and sold her for upwards of $10,000.

What do you think of this? All opinions welcome. For more information you can search the web at

to read more, but I'm curious on your thoughts. Was this an ethical adoption? Should a minor be able to sign a contract without their parent's knowledge or consent?

There has been on-going tension between me and my sister-in-law since my marriage to her brother. We all attend the same place of worship, so after service this lady who I had never met came up to me and introduced herself and when she found out that me and my husband had married she immediately asked how the women (meaning sisters in law) were treating me. I told my husband that she wouldn't have said that if she didn't already know that they could be mean and funny acting. I just couldn't understand why in the world would she say that if she was just meeting me.. Was I wrong in my thinking or do you all agree?

My husband found out I cheated on him by finding some old texts that I forgot to delete. I didn't sleep with the other guy, but my husband's feelings were still badly hurt. I know I made him feel like less of a man. He found out about this in February and we had been doing well. We had been communicating about our feelings and really trying to work things out. But recently, he's been very sad , and he won't talk to me about it. It is killing me to see him so sad. I wish I had never hurt him, but I can't turn back time. Do you have any suggestions to boost his spirits?

I already know everyone's going to tell me I'm a cheater, tell me I'm horrible and all that crap I don't need to hear. But have any of you cheated and not regretted it like me?

This is new groud for me, so I'm not sure what's "right" or "wrong".....My husband and I are legally separated and in the process of divorcing (no kids). Well, I met someone I'm really interested in and would like to possibly start dating. My question: is it too early to date since we're not divorced yet?

From time to time my girlfriend of 5 months will tell a story about an old boyfriend. I haven't said anything to her, but it makes me uncomfortable and also makes me wonder why she is telling me about an old boyfriend. Is there some psychological reason she does this? I would never mention old girlfriends to a new girlfriend. Would you? Any answers are welcome.....

I have paid my whole way through college (about $30,000). I still owe about $3700. My Mom and step-dad (who do not talk and are not married anymore) split the money owed so I could graduate in June. I want to do something inexpensive for both of them (seperatly) as a way of saying thank you. I need an idea for my step-dad (whom I am not very close with anymore). He likes gunsmithing, animals, hunting etc. Any ideas?

My husband was returning from a day business trip and stopped in a Subway to get some food. A young lady (14 at the most) walked up to him and asked him if he would buy her for the night.

My husband almost laughed at the youngster then replied "I am not ready."

She asked "Not ready for what?" He replied "To go to prison" and shooed her away.

Men if a female stranger(Doesn't matter the age) walked up to you and asked you to have sex with her what would you do?

I am looking for a good place to get a reasonably priced wedding cake in the Sterling Heights MI area. Even an at home baker would be great. We are paying for the wedding and can not afford what I have found so far. There will be about 200 people at the wedding.

I am 25 and a virgin, I have told guys in the past early on that this was the case and honestly I think it scaried them because its not something most people would think based on who I am.
I am just starting out with a guy who is older then me and I know has been in sexual realationships, I am fairly sure he has no idea i'm a virgin. should I tell him earlier, later or just when and if it comes up?
