For me, chest hair on men is such a turn on, as is hairy, muscular arms, but back hair is a no no as is big nipples or middle-age spread!

Your thoughts please?

I am still getting calls from co-workers of my husband inviting us as a family to functions. I am also getting calls from people he has known several years inviting us to their summer homes for a weekend. How can people not know? What do I tell them? He left me for a colleague and someone they know. How could they not know?

If so, where do you find your motivation to clean every day? I love it to be clean, I get so discouraged when I spend a lot of time cleaning and then my children ransack the clean area. So I feel like quitting altogether. I know I can't, but some days I want to scream! KWIM?

My 48 year old wife has ALS, also known as Lou Gerhigs Disease, for over seven years. Things are getting real tough now. She still talks but all her other movements are pretty much gone. Latley she has become more and more demanding and downright mean! I fully understand what she's going through and all the meds are not helping. She also keeps demanding to be put into nursing home. I married her for better and for worse. I cannot let her into a place like that. She doesn't understand that we take care of her much better than a home could, During the day we have hospice come in. Then our 19 year old takes over until I get home. Everyday now she cries and says she can't go on. She constantly asks me to give her all her oxy-cordone at once to end it. If it weren't for my daughters, I would help her leave. But it I did that, my kids would lose both parents. Me to jail and mom to god. We both now know that Kervorkian was really a caring man.
Sorry for the ramble, I just needed to vent...

Why is it that Guys tell you what they think you want to hear instead of telling you what they feel. I am a true believer that we all will get our feelings hurt, one way or another, so why is it that they feel like they have to lie so that they dont hurt you. But if you think about it, if they tell you they love you and that they miss you and then they disappear that hurts more then just telling me the truth. Help me to understand please.

My wife asked that, in lieu of buying her an expensive gift, that I give one of her boys a big chunk of cash for college. I still want to get her something. I am taking her on a trip, but want to get her something she can hold in her hands, but is not terribly expensive.

She is pretty, looks much younger than 50, slender, athletic and very feminine. She also will not tell me what she wants for a gift, or implies that she doesn't want anything, which I assume is not true.

Why do women not want to tell you what they want for a gift? My first wife was the same way. I wouldn't hesitate if somebody asked me that question! Why do I have to figure it out?????? Help!!!!!!!

Well one of his long time friends came into town and he went out w/ him and more of their other friends. I don't trip off that, if anything I encourage him to hang out w/ his buddies. All I ask is that he keep in touch w/ me because I worry about him drinking and driving. Well I text him about 11:30pm to let me know when he is on his way home so I can expect him, So I fell asleep and woke up at 4am to find him still not home(which is not like him) So I started to feel sick and worried. I called and called w/ no answer. Finally calls back a lil b4 5am and says he's ok and he feels he has done nothing wrong. Now I am not mad cuz I think he was out cheating or anything, I am mad cuz he had me worried and up when had to get up at 5:45 for work. How do I address this? Is he taking advantage of my niceness?

I mean when you think about it - not many people choose to be that way because they obviously have trouble finding friends who are like them or whatever and it is challenging to go at everything alone and not have anyone for advice or guidance. I think being a loner deserves a lot of credit, especially for people who manage to still be successful.

Women...should I be angry if my husband goes to Hooters? They are having a party for a co-worker there and he feels obligated to go. We have never went to those kinds of places at all (although he did before me) I don't like the idea of him going and said that...he thinks I'm wrong and over reacting and made me out to be some kind of nagging wife. I just don't like the idea...I'm a mother of 2..toddler and newborn. I am here at home all day taking care of our babies and our home while he is out google eyeing other women?? Am I wrong?

I believe that a bride should never be outshone on her wedding day. The three girls I have as my attendants are all very pretty. They are all brunettes, although two are pale with medium brown hair and one is Italian. I want them to look nice, but I want them to be made much less attractive so that I really stand out. What is a good way of doing this? Should I choose an unflattering dress, or pick a way of doing their hair that is not the cutest, any ideas?

My wife and I have been seperated since Nov. 06. Having 2 kids together and 12 years of history I think its foolish for us not to try and reconsile our differences. We have tried with some success, but she says she doesnt "feel the passion" anymore. She says that she loves me, and doesnt want to be w/o me. She has me come over all the time, even gets angry if I dont come over, spend days doing things together, I have even spent the night several times. I have done everything I can think of. Flowers, spontanious "adventures", show up unexpected with wine, etc. But nothing seems to work. She wants me to do all the things a husband does, fix things, help with kids, take trips, mow the lawn.....But she doesnt want me to be her partner.
The mixed messages that she sends me really has me at the breaking point. Should I pack up and move on or keep trying?

There is this guy who i've known since college, he has a GF for 7 years now. A month ago we were out together and ended up making out, but not having sex. Since then there has been a series of emails and texts coming mostly from him about his emotions to me and how is confused and unsure what the right decision is for him. She is a very nice, sweet and loving girl- and i think that heis afraid of hurting her but also of their mutual friends. However all of them think that he is clearly not into her since he hasn't even popped the question yet. They just got back from a trip and b4 they left he told me that he would make his mind up about the relationship. The minute he gets back he texts me and says that he couldn't stop thinking about me, even if he wanted to- he just can't. Then we unfortunately made out again later on. Now- I am so confused. I know he doesn't seem like ingenuine, but how long does it take to end a 7 year relationship? And how long should I give him time if any?

Can you take a gift back if it is really expensive and the person you gave it to is now your enemy and is messing with you and won't give it back. If they don't give it back can I sue/call the cops?

Guys! What is the biggest difference in girls either being your friend, or a love interest?

What changes when a girl goes from friend to lover? Any advice for someone who is trying to encourage that change to happen?

my marriage has been rocky for years. I have two children and a husband who drinks a 12pack a day and can be verbally abusive to me and my oldest son 11yrs. My son has recently been hurting himself after his dad berates him. I need to let you know taht we are lving with my in-laws because we sold our house, because we were in financial difficulty and trying to recover from that. My husbnd won't listen and thinks we can buy a mobile home and put it on his parents property but I don't think we can make the payments and want to continue trying to pay off and save. We got into debt over the past 5 years, I went through a real tough time with my job and then losing my dad and didn't work becuase I was so depressed and couldn't get out of bed, so I quit my job after two years of struggle and then for two years stayed home with a daycare, which then added more stress to the family, so of course to my husband we are broke because of me.

Recently, my huband & I both lost our jobs.
My husband's company shut down, we were tied up in legal matters with that for weeks, & I was forced to look for a better job in my field to make up for the loss in his pay. Most people don't realize that the application process at established companies for professional jobs is at least 3 weeks. Employment is down in our town, & at the end of that month I was out of a job, too, w/ no new work.
This situation is so uncharacteristic for us. Family usually comes to us for favors & money, etc. They shamelessly ask for hundreds of dollars assuming we have lots of $$ because we keep our house clean & don't complain to everyone about money matters.
Now that we're in need, everyone has scattered. We discreetly asked for help, but no one really responded. Our utilities were due to be cut off this week. We asked everyone if they'd pitch in a little, but they all were suddenly broke. We had to accept $$ from our 70 year old grandparents. That hurt.
