Family & Relationships - 12 June 2007

So my bf and i have an ldr right now...he's pretty far away. He has this child hood friend who is female, i have known about her from the beginning, they were babies together, dated at one point and i know they had sex at some point, in high school, they're 24 now. He told me that they'll always be friends and she is one of his best friends. I cant say she ever came between us, but I feel jealous. I feel like, maybe he'll always have a thing for her. He tells me he doesnt, that they are friends, that's all they'll ever be, he loves me. I didnt really hear from him over the weekend, then i checked his myspace page and there are always messages from her. Things that say, how are you, miss you, call me. I told him she needs a life, he just comes back with, we're just friends, i talk to you way more than i talk to her. One of her messages said, i havent heard from you, what's up. The most recent note says, what's up with all the crazy drunk texts from you this weekend? What should i think?

We got into an argument last Saturday night and he said
"Give me my ring back"
I said "You gave it to me, its my ring."
"Well I bought it. Give it to me."

So he came over to me, ripped the ring off my finger, and wouldn't let me leave the room. After he sat there for awhile, he forced the ring back on my finger and expected me to forgive him. I ended up sleeping on my counch (in my own apartment) just so he'd leave me alone.
He says he is sorry, he was just being stupid kuz he was mad and had been drinking.

What should I do?

My husband never wants to discuss problems when they arise between us. He is non-confrontational to the point of completely ignoring things. I've even tried to discuss THIS problem with him but nothing changes. We had a disagreement recently which was not resolved and he wants to act like nothing happened, hug me, "Love you honey", and I'm still seething over the disagreement. We've been together for nine years and fortunately do not have a lot of problems or disagreements but when we do it is always this way. I don't want to seem childish and hold on to hurt feelings or drag out a disagreement but I think we should at least discuss how we each feel whether we can completly agree and solve the problem or not. Suggestions??? Anyone else in a relationship like this?

I really love this style- I like the one with the ribbons that get glued into the sides and then you tie it for the front.
My colors would be pink and brown.

Anyone buy this style before?

Just recently my fiance's brother began going through a divorce, is not yet legally seperated no paperwork has been started but wife has moved out.

He has began dating a new girl, who has just plopped right in where his wife left off, taking care of their infant son, cooking, cleaning etc. And while I do like this girl, I do not support their relationship I feel it needs to be put on hold until the divorce.

My issue is, they have only been seeing each other a month, and I am feeling jealous that she gets to spend so much time with my nephew when I used to babysit all the time-now she does. She is sending my MIL pictures of our nephew, emailing, etc.

I know I am being stupid, but it is frustrating and im not overly upset about it...more upset about the fact that it even bothers me!!

One who may be a bit rough? Have you ever liked a plus-size girl? Have you ever liked a girl with so-called 'imperfections'? Have you ever fancied a girl who was a bit strange in some way? What about any girls whom most people said was ugly, but you thought differently?

So I am going to stay with my boyfriend for the summer and I am leaving my house when no one is there and just go. He doesn't live far from my parents house and I am a little nervous but I know it's the right thing to do! I just don't want to hurt anyone! Am I making a wrong move?

Our niece on my husband's side of the family got married sometime late last summer . They told people about the wedding 3 months after they were married. We were also told that they only wanted to have the people that meant the most to them at their wedding (immediate family and close friends) I'm assuming. Anyway when we found out that they were married and we were not invited we got a little ticked off and just carried on with life. Now, all of a sudden we have received an invitation to a wedding "celebration" being held 3 hours away from us, the celebration is only a few hours long and a cash bar. We (my Husband and I) are both feeling like the only reason we are being invited to this celebration almost a year after they got married is because they want a gift. We declined to go, we feel like if we were not important enough to be asked to the actual wedding or at least be told about it, instead of waiting for three months, then why are we important now. What do you think?

Maybe by your explanation some light will be put on this issue and more people can understand it and (hopefully) avoid it in the future.

i had a first date tonight with a girl i 'met' online. known her two months... one month on match, one month on myspace.. in which she requested me on and sent me a msg first. i mentioned meeting up few weeks ago, just saying we should sometime, and that i enjoy talking to her. she said ' i like talking to you too' and agreed we should meet up. a week later she brought it up.. i asked her what shes doing that next week, she said, 'hanging out with you silly.' i was on vacation, which she knew about, so i replied 3/4 days later, to find a good time to meet up. she said she was getting over a cold... 3 days later she emails me saying shes all better and says "maybe we could talk on the phone. what do you think? and arrange to meet up."
i reply with yes and my cell#, and then she gives hers. we've been txting back n forth. so today around noon or 1pm she txted me (havent talked on phone yet) and said she had to cancel and shes really sorry, that she has to get a tooth pulled

with my dad. I haven't spoken to my dad in three years for personal reasons, but last night I found out that he was sick, something to do with his blood. He is awaiting a specialist to determin what is wrong with him. Then my boyfriend calls and we had an argument, and he hung up on me (very rude), so that made things worse. My question is this: I know that I need to be there at a time like this, but what do I do? Should I call him, or since Fathers Day is coming should I buy him a gift and show up at his house....or, should I wait till he calls to give me the news (I know he won't, it's a pride thing). If I do nothing, and something happends to him, I would never forgive myself.
What to do?

Do normal people do online dating? It seems like only desperate and insecure ones will have a reason to do online dating. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Men are like a fine wine. They all start out like grapes, and it's our job to stomp on them and keep them in the dark until they mature into something you'd like to have dinner with.

Ok from my previous questions its obvious he is playing games with me.

It bothers me of course, but i like this guy so should i play games with him too???

Like right now, i called him....no answer...no response. Last time we talked he said he is for sure coming to see me. Catch is he has never been to my house.

Should i send him a text message giving him my address, and say "call me if you get lost" ??
Or should i just sit around and wait for him to call?

I am 18 years old and am dating a 35 year old man. I have the best time with him and he makes me so happy and i do the same for him. We have everything in common but i am a little unsure about the age difference. my mom doesnt agree with my decision to be with him but for some reason she allows my 25 year old sister to date a 40 year old man... i think it just sounds better than an 18 year old dating a 35 year old. UGHHHh what do i do?

I have a friend that said a month ago that she wanted to go get pedicures soon and she is pregnant and married and I know she is probly very busy but I wanted to email her and ask her if she still wanted to go do that. Do you think if I do ask her... then it will seem like I am pushing her to do things? I mean... I havent asked her before and she is about due so there is not much time left. What do you think???

I’ve been seeing a great guy for 2 mos. Im divorced and have 2 kids. he’s never been married and has no kids (if that means anything) Last night as I came home from a date I called to check on my daughter and she said her dad was outside waiting for me. To avoid a scene I told boyfriend to drop me off a block away. He was pissed but did it anyway. Then I told my ex that if he ever did that again, I’d file a restraining order. I spoke to boyfriend later on and he told me he liked me and enjoyed my company but that he didn’t need this. That I didn’t not have control of the situation. I told him I took care of it and not to make any hasty decisions. Today I text him and he text back but I could tell he was still pissed. I don't blame if he wouldn't want to see me again. what to do?

I've posted this before, but I'm hoping to get more suggestions

I'm 26, and I'm marrying a 43 yr. old man with two daughters. The girls have been part of my life for the past two years now...they are with us every other weekend.

We are including them in the ceremony, they will be part of our "Unity Sand ceremony" (instead of a unity candle), and at some point during the wedding, I'm going to give them each a piece of jewelry (The 13 yr old is getting a necklace, the 11 yr old is getting a charm with a charm bracelet).

As part of giving the jewelry to the girls, I intend on explaining why we picked those pieces of jewelry. I also want to give some sort of vows/promises to the kids..but I have no idea what to say.

I want to recognize the fact that I'm not just marrying their Dad...I'm becoming part of their family. They will be the only children I'll ever have.

I need suggestions on vows...ideas on what to say...or tell me if you have done this in your own wedding..
