Family & Relationships - 8 June 2007

I have just recently separated from my husband of 14 years (we had been together for 21 years) today is his 40th Birthday as well as my son's 6th Birthday.
My mother in law who has been totally against my husband for splitting up the family is meeting his girlfriend for the 1st time today.
I feel very torn as we have been together for so long and this is a big event in his life that for the first time I have nothing to do with.
Should I feel like this or just shut up and get on with it?

Under what conditions would you sleep with someone that you weren't attracted to if you were a decent civilized guy: etc... you have to be so depressed you can't get out of bed in the morning, you have to be drunk 3 times, you have be suicidal, you have be desparately lonely after not talking to anybody for three years...

They don’t really like me, just coz I have a few luxuries,I am always thought of as spoilt and intolerant
My intolerance comes up only on bad work, not because I am arrogant, moreover they are forever arguing with me, I always speak rationally, whereas they always go with traditions and don’t like anything that is not from their nation
What I’m trying to say is: now, it is their 50th marriage anniversary, and according to customs they are giving me something just coz I’m their grand daughter
I only value true love, not money or gifts that are given in the name of religion (and that too its an expensive one)
Since they have come(my parents are celebrating it in our city): my father has started becoming more angry with me and even they back up the feelings, I’m not like that!
I don’t want to accept a gift that is given out of no true love, and I have no problem in refusing politely, should I do this please?
I’m not at all happy to publicize these matters,but I wanted some advice

I've heard arguments that it enhances marriages, especially the sex life within a marriage. I've also heard arguments that it detracts from the same. I'm looking for married people on Y! Answers to weigh in with their opinions. One-liner response answerers need not bother.

Would you dismiss a guy of that height on first impression for he may be too tall, would you be delighted to be with a guy that tall, or would you be intimidated by him?

Statistics of the guy: 6'5'' and 215 lbs with an athletic build

Again, my husband and I filed for divorce. We separated our bank accounts. Since we have a child, he's still paying the mortgage and child support. He comes over to mow the yard and fix up the house. I can also call him to talk and we do talk when he calls for the child.

If we are still in each other's lives, what is really going to change? Will things be this way forever? I just want to know what to expect once the divorce is final.

How did you know you wanted to marry the person? What had you needed to accomplish in life before you wed? Did you know you were ready or hoped for the best? Just curious and would like to hear about everyone.

I'll be 32 next month and my girlfriend is 19. We have been together for two years and I am thinking of taking this relationship to the next step. We have talked about this 13 years gap but she insisted that she prefers older men than young men and she is looking forward for my birthday next month.

We share a lot in common and we always have a great laugh. She always ask me when I'm going to marry her and have my babies. I want to settle down with her but I'm concerned with her age. Age does not matter to me but I'm worried that if we settled down and probably have babies, later she might leave to experience life or cheat on me. What do you think guys?

This might seem like too early to ask the question, but it takes me forever to find dresses that fit, soo here we go.

My boyfriend's brother is getting married on September 29, and I'm going with him. It's going to be an evening wedding (around 5) followed by a reception. I don't know what to wear to it, as it's going to be very formal and very elegant. I'm not skiny (size 12), but I do like wearing dresses, and I'm assuming that would be something good to wear to this. I just don't know what colors or styles to wear. I'm not sure where it is being held, but I think the ceremony is in a church.

I don't want anything that will offend my boyfriend's relatives (especially since I'll be sitting with his parents and his other brother's girlfriend since both brothers are in the wedding party), but I also want to look good. Any ideas?

I just got married this past Sunday. My wife and I invited our old college room mate whom we were very close. We graduated college a few years ago and invited her and her fiance to our wedding. We all live in New York and our wedding was in Newport, RI. They said they were coming and we included them in our final count. Then a week before the wedding she called and said her fiance was overseas and they would not be coming to the wedding. We asked if she could come and she said no because he is not around and she doesn't feel comfortable driving that far alone. The thing is, we all went to college together up there. We are hurt and got screwed financially by them not coming up. Their wedding is next month at Tavern on the Green in Manhattan. Should we go or screw them over?

My cousin asked me this so I thought I might try to get some opinions. He has many girl mates (not girlfriends...nothing romantic at all). When he goes out for meals with any one of them they expect him to/he thinks he should pay. He wants to know that since it's not a date and they're really absolutely and completely friends shouldn't they go dutch?

Hello All & Good Morning!

I am going to my Uncle's wedding and my sister is loaning me a dress to wear to it. This dress is very classy and dressy, but I don't know if the colors are appropriate. It is solid black with a champange colored bow going around it. On the front of the bow, there is a circle with rhinestones going around it. It has a pettycoat going around the bottom underneath to make the dress look full. It goes to my knees and is halter. Tell me. Is this appropriate?

Yes, I asked this question a couple of days ago, but only got a few responses and would like more thoughtful input...

Okay, my brother and his wife decided a long time ago to not have childern. My brother goes and gets clipped, problem solved, right? Wrong, 14 years later and two attempts at a reversal later, they want to have a child. So they ask me to donate sperm and I am okay with this, but they do not want to pay the doctor fees, they just want me to have sex with her until she gets pregnant, and my brother is okay with this!! He said that since I was his brother and it was not some kind of affair. Am I just being too old fashioned to not want to have sex with my sister in law even though it is just to help them have a baby? She is very attractive, so no comments about how she looks.
