Family & Relationships - 20 June 2007

What time of year did you have your wedding? I was thinking about April (spring) or October (fall) for my wedding but now I have started thinking about maybe Mid November. I love Christmas and I think all of the lights and Christmas decorations would be beautiful. Do you think it is bad to do it in November with all of the holiday stuff going on? also, what about January? Could you still have a Christmas-sy theme then? I live in Georgia. I just can't decide whether to have a nice outdoor wedding in the spring or fall, or to have a "white" christmas wedding in the winter.....

OK well me and my boyfriend (ex)....went out for about a lil over a year and we broke up about a week ago...and I found out yesterday that he cheated on me with more than one girl...and even on my b-day! Why did he tell me he loved me and I meant everything to him, and everything nice you could say? We hung out all the time but some weeks we would just not hear from each other...I always thought he was cheating but I never thought he would do that to me, and I think way to much sometimes...So I didn't think anything of it! But why did he cheat on me? We were so close, I thought, I loved his family and hung out with them all the time and he made me get attached to them and himself...and after a year and after we break up he finally admits to cheating on me the whole time! WHY DID HE DO THIS TO ME?

my boyfriend and i , well ex i think now, havent talked since yesterday after i had hung the phone up on him. we had an argument, i was crying, he tried to call me back several times in the half hour after the fight happened. i changed my voicemail password and havent called him back since yesterday morning when the fight happened. i feel like i ended things with him by saying what i said and hanging up, but after almost 2 years going out i dont want to be immature and want to make sure he realizes my feelings. should i call him to tell him it's over? or wait and see if he gets it that it's over and leave it alone? i am in love with him but working things out i dont think is going to solve the problems we have. ... do i owe it to him to talk to him about things? or owe it to myself that he doesnt care about me obviously and just let him be?

Many responses on here regarding money and level of independence in a marriage tend to agree that its justified to keep someone on a leash. Example: one spouse buys a big ticket item w/out the other's consent. Most relpies automatically say " Put him / her on an allowance." or " Make them pay you back $100 at a time and YOU get to spend it on what you want."

Other questions that deal w/ concerns about a spouse's activities online / at-work / etc... Most replies are "Get net-nanny, have a co-worker check them out for you, tell them they can't hang out with that person anymore, etc..."

Is this REALLY the way most of us act in our marriages? Would you actually follow the "advice" you dole out on this board?

What ever happened to talking w/ your spouse and asking for an honest answer? What ever happened to, "I don't really like this / that, but overall my spouse loves me, the kids, takes care of the home, and comes home to me, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt." ?

There's a group of us that have been friends for over 20 yrs. (we're all about 34).1 guy (married 3 yrs.) has just recently found out that his wife had a really serious 5 month affair.She ended it 2 months ago & talked to the other guy up until 4 wks ago.She also said she loved the other guy up until 4 wks ago. She was ready to leave husband but decided at the last minute to try & save their marriage.They're both in counseling but not in counseling together.She got an apartment in Dec. & hasn't technically moved back in to their house.As his friends,we're trying to be supportive but don't trust her at all.He makes a ton of money.We're also trying to look out for his best interest. He has begun to say that he's not sure that he wants this.We,as hs friends, have reserved our opinion that he should end it & find someone who will really love him. What he doesn't know is that she has been unfaithful to him 3 times,in varying degrees (including this). Do you think he should end this?

I just want to let you know that my wife is a very religous women who has brought Jesus Christ into our lives. She is also a person and very banal.

When I left for work yesterday morning, my wife asked me what I wanted to have for dinner later that evening. Even though he is nearly 8 months pregnant, I didn't want to shortchange myself on the meal, so I asked for a full spaghetti meal with special sauce and a couple of different sides. I'm worth it.

So I get home from work after a long and emotionally draining day, and I find pizza on the table!!!???

I guess my precious wife was too tired from being pregnant all day to get up and make some pasta for me.

I'm a great catch, and this is just wrong!

She prepared a dish for me and brought it to me along with a beer. She started to talk to me about her day, but I couldn't respond. My eyes were watering and I was choked up.

I even notice my girlfriend will do this on occasion some nights as well when we are "working late". I ask for the steak medium well, and she burns the heck out of it. It's a personal affront.

Why did she go against my word like this?

We are having a dinner after the wedding at a nice elegant resturant for about 30 guess. But I would like to decorate the table alittle more but what things could I do to make it a little more nice. My colors are lavendar and white. I already bought some lavendar colored candles with clear glass candle holder and I was going to be a white ribbon around the glass and light them and put then out the on the table. The table will be in a "U" shape. I will also have the favor out on the table in front of each chair. What else could I do? The cake will be off to the side on a round table, what could I do with that? Any ideas that are too expensive.

I was watching the 40-year-old-virgin (hated it, but I don't like comedies) recently and the scene were the guys decipher Steve Carell (sp?) is still a virgin, one of the guys asks him: Are you gay? What is it about being a virgin and not wanting to talk about sex, has always made people (of all races and ages) assume that a person who's a virgin for such a long period of time is Gay? Being a virgin is about not having sex. Right? Being gay is about being attracted to the same sex and/or having sexual relations with an individual of the same sex. Right? So what does one have to do with the other? I've always wondered about this.

Boy breaks up with girl.
Says he isn't falling in love with her. (Boy had been badly hurt by cheating ex-wife and the divorce is less than a year old).
Boy calls ex-gf a few days a week and talks for HOURS.
He calls or emails her about silly things...that really don't need discussing for any immediate reason.
He is going to a concert with her.
They hang out with other couples.
They go to church and are in a Bible study together, and are starting a band together.
Boy calls/emails girl to make sure that she is coming to his shows (that girl isn't in).
When there are things going on, they almost always come together. Sit together. Ride the double rather than the single tubes at the water park together.

But, he doesn't want to be with her? Can you see why girl is confused?

Does boy just WANT to want to be with her? Or maybe he is struggling with issues from the divorce, and just needs a break?

Actions or words? Which is a better indicator?

My husband bought a $1000 gun while I was at my mother-in-laws for two weeks. We dont have enough money to pay our bills and live in a neighborhood where the guy under us was shot when we were home. I know eventually he will need it for his patrol car, but he isn't even done the the Police Academy. The gun isn't returnable and so we have to keep it. He never even told me until I saw it hit a credit card. How mad can I get at him??

my bf and i have been going out for 6 months. i love him but neither of us have said it yet. We are taking a trip together and usually spend at least 3-4 days/nights a week together (neither of us are interested in having sex until marriage though so its not just about that - we really have a lot in common). He always asks if i like him and when i say yes, he says "how much?" so far i just answer "a lot" because i really want him to say it first. The most he's said is "wow, I like you a whole lot" . why doesn't he just say it? should i just say it already or will that scare him away if he doesn't quite feel ready?

A parent has visitation-only rights, and for his full week this summer, he is leaving his 12-year old alone in his trailer all week while he is at work for 11 hours per day. I understand this is wrong for the obvious reasons, but is the parent breaking any laws by doing this? Can this threaten his future visitation rights if taken to the courts?

We're both 16 and this friday would have been 6 months. I'm completly in love with him and I know he loves me too. He's my first boyfriend...among other things. He's my absolute best friend and I'm his. He just got a summer job with his mom working 11-6 everyday including weekends so he broke up with me cuz we will never see eachother. I tried to tell him we can get through this cuz it's only 2 months but he doesnt think he can. All I can do is cry and nothing else. What should I do. I want to keep him as my bf but he's stubbon and doesnt think very open minded sometimes. I need to know how I can show him we'll be okay. And I need to know what to do with myself if that doesnt work. I'm a very closed person and I dont open up to anyone but him so it's hard to talk to other friends about this stuff. And most of them dont understand. He also said mabey when school starts back up, but that will hurt more to keep me waiting and hoping. Please help

I knew a boy at work who suddenly began to be very kind to me, even if we could rarely meet along the corridors of the office. Whenever he saw me at the phone, he always asked me if I was talking with my boy-friend; when I was absent for some days, when I came back he wanted to know where I had gone and with whom. When I once asked hime why he was so interested in my boy-fr, he remained speechless and it was very embarassing. He always looked at me with sweet eyes and a big smile, but I didn't trust him because he was aware of being handsome and he was very nice with all girls, especially the most attractive. But what I couldn't stand more was the fact that, besides paying me many compliments, he never simply asked me to have a coffee with him to try to have a "normal" conversation. So I decided to ignore him, and he in turn began to avoid me, even if when it casually happened he looked at me with a strange expression of sadness and reproach. So I returned to be nicer, but when

I included a web address on the invitations that said for more info please see the web address

The web site has links to our registry, our story, pictures and wedding details.
Is it still coming off like we are asking for gifts or is it just getting the info out to the people who would ask anyway?

The top of the registry page on the site says

More then any gift we want you to share in the celebration of our love and commitment.
However we would get calls if we didn’t register so here’s our list.

Is there a way to better word it.

I have been dating this guy for almost 3 years and we just seem to have grown apart. We don't argue or anything, we just find ourselves spending a lot less time together and calling each other less frequently. How would you end this relationship? Feel free to share a story.
