You take $200 bucks a month for your trouble, and don't tell her because she wont notice anyway. No harm, no foul... Is this moral to do this?

Ever since I've been concentraiting on dating I have realized having strange feelings about potentail partners and women I know, namely concerning sexuality. Some of my upbringing affects it in that my mom was religious (LDS aka. Morman) and some exposure to that church. Yet I have always believed in other people to have the right to express their sexuality anyway they want. But when I enter the equaision my reaction to liberated sexuality is far diferent. But also I wonder if some of my feelings might go back much farther--genetics. My niece has several parrots and one of the males is in heat and doesn't like other males, including humans, to be around him. I wonder then if some of my jealousy towards other guys and the feeling that these guys are violating or soiling the women around me may be more an instinct. This said I must add that I'm completely inexperienced with women and have no comparable sexual history.

I've been with my girlfriend for about two years. We've had a pretty wild ride, and we fight no less than 70% of the time we've been together.
She has a very internet-based life, and makes good "friends" on the internet very often. Turns out she has developed these crushes for some of them, when I asked about it, she lied and abused me for not trusting her (she later told me that she did have feelings for them).

I work an average of 55 hour week and when I come home she never wanted to hang out, she wanted to use the computer. Well after several years of this, I've grown tired and I think I've fallen out of love with her.
I've been spending a lot of time with a girl at work, who I'm starting to have feelings for (which I never thought I could have feelings for anyone else) and my girlfriend is very upset over it.
I know she has done some pretty nasty things to me in the past, but I still love her, though I think as a friend, since I do not want to be with her anymore. It genuinly

many different times my father inlaw has yelled at me to the point where i cry. He yells at my children, tells me i am a bad mother and is always making fat jokes towards me. My husband never stands up for me and i'm dealing with that, but i have now decided to not see my father inlaw anymore, is that wrong or do i have that right because of the way he treats me? My husband is worried that it will effect their relationship but i am not stopping my husband from seeing him. It may be weird at first, but i think its weirder when i'm crying and hes yelling at me...someone help me.......

125 people at the wedding. The cake is going to be a 3-tier cake. How do these flavors sound?
For the bottom layer (which is the biggest and feeds about 70 people) we are thinking about white cake with fresh strawberries and whipped cream filling.
For the middle layer (which feeds about 40 people) we are considering a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup filling with chocolate cake. My fiancee LOVES peanut butter cups, and the filling was REALLY good! However, we are concerned that this is not an appropriate cake flavor for a traditional evening wedding in January. But, it was very yummy. For the top layer (feeds about 15 people) we are thinking about a vanilla cake with hazelnut and chocolate filling. Do you guys think that Reese's Peanut Butter Cup filling and Chocolate Cake are appropriate for a wedding?

First of all, I'm ELCA Lutheran, so yes, female pastors are allowed. I'm not asking your opinion on female pastors.

Moving on, how to I tell my parents about this calling? Other people I am close to know, and are supportive. I have a friend or two who has laughed at me and told me I'm wasting my life, but that's beside the point. I can deal with them. But how do I tell my parents? It seems like they expect me to go into business or law or something like that... But that's not where I see myself. Any advice, please?

Ok, so i have been going out with this girl a lot recently. She has told her friends she thinks i am cute. she asks me out and i ask her out to do stuff. whenever i see her she lights up. she wears makeup, looks amazing, and smells just great. She sends me several random texts like complaining she only got 2 hours of sleep etc. In fact just yesterday the count was at 38. She asked me about my relationship status at one point. And she has hugged me on occasions. She also says how much she wants to hang out more, cook for me, and how much we have in common.

There are times when i get confused on what she feels however... Like when we saw a movie together, she sat with her arms crossed almost the entire time (so did I tho, i feel more comfortable that way). This gave me no chance to grasp her hand :( When i drop her off to her house, she doesnt hesitate to leave, she looks at me smiles a lot, and thanks me for a great time and goes.

Im not sure what to think or do.

Under which circumstances can you not tell him and get away and be righteous about it? Can you forgive someone if they did this to you?

My wife is on the other side of the world with my son for business and to find herself and there's the nascent possibility of a flirtation I have w/ a good looking woman I have a connection with here. I know it's SO wrong so how do I avoid the temptation of committing infidelity while there's this void of my family gone for months on end? How do I keep the love of my wife and family strong in absentia? I keep busy but I work close to this woman and it's easy to find a connection here when my wife's absence leaves me with none. So how do I get over this and move on until my wife and son return?

Someone broke into my apartment and stole some things. The police said whoever it was knew exactly what to look for and where to look. They also said it looked staged and wanted to know if anyone else had a key to my place. I suspect my boyfriend but have no way to prove it. Everything points to him, but that's a pretty serious accusation. I did ask him if he did it, but he denied it. I think he might be really good at lying. But what if I'm wrong?

He says they are just friends but everywhere I turn there's myspace, emails a few calls on his cell phone and work call log. He says nothing is going on and she is his ex for a reason, he can be nice to anyone and forgive anyone and that there is is no reason to shun anyone, no matter who they are. Dispite my voiceing my concerns, she seems to pop up every now and then...should i be concerned?

My guy friend and I have been dating for three months almost. Things were going really great, but the past week he's been acting really distant. I talked to him last night (and it probably doesn't help that I was talking to him at 1:30 in the morning), and it left me feeling worse than I did before. He said a lot of stuff that confused me, like he doesn't know what he wants, he's confused about everything, and that he wants to be close to someone but have freedom to move around. He said he still loves me and he's not going anywhere, but I feel hurt and confused. He also said he's going camping this weekend with his family and hopefully he'll "get some sort of sign" as to what to do about things, i.e. our relationship. I think he just needs space to think, but I'm not sure. What can I do/say? Should I try to fix things or will that make it worse? How can I stop feeling so crappy (without moving on or anything else)?

I have been having problems with my Family which has been going on for years. It is hard to go into all the details about each relationship and why or whos fault it was. I know I have some blame as well. However, I have told some of my Family members that when I do die I do not want them to be at my Funeral. I feel that if my Family could not be around to support me and not even call me on the phone that I should have some rights in my death requests. Is this true? Can I request in a will to have nobody be around my Funeral at all?
I am alot like my Mom before she passed on she stated, " If you could not buy me Flowers when I am Alive, don't buy me flowers when I am dead." That is how I feel with my relatives now. I have tried to foster a family enviroment all my life just to be mocked, ridiculed and stolen from. I do feel like that If I can't have a Family when I am alive why should I have a Family when I am dead?

Hey okay well here's the story.
My bf in Missouri who's planning to visit me in colorado like in august. The thing is, my parents are ultra strict with the "no dating" rules. They don't know about any of my past bf's or him, but I'm gonna have him stay at my house. My parents are either always out or working all day so do you think it will work if he stays at my house for a week? Or would it be too risky? I have a car too so I think it can work. Please don't leave comments reprimanding or preaching me Just need your advice on what you think.

Is it common for them to withdraw from their friends and to be mean to others? Do they like to be alone and to not talk about what is going on? How can one show them support?

Ok, I recently started dating my best friend, he and I are going great, as far as he knows... But see, I have been thinking a lot about us as a couple, and I think I just want us to be friends, but see, I've been his girlfriend like 5 times before, and I want us to stop the cycle, but I'm not sure how...
He's an angel to me... and he loves me so much, and I love him too, a lot, which is why we're going out right now, but he isn't "that guy." So, what sould I do?

A friend has a young baby (almost crawling) by a married man. I don't know if she knew he was married or not when she conceived, but that is irrelevant. The man remained married to his wife. He has asked to take the baby for an overnight visit. The wife has been openly hostile to my friend since finding out about her husband's affair. My friend is concerned about her baby's safety. The husband has been paying child support and health insurance. If you were in her shoes, would you let him take the baby for an overnight visit? Her concern is that the wife might injure the baby. I personally would advise her not to, but I thought I would get other opinions. I've seen the wife's hostility.

My dad's been text messaging this lady he claims was seeking marital advice. The lady is supposed to be in an abusive marriage and she doesn't know what to do. Since my father is kind of active in church, she thought he would be a good place to look for advice, but in turn she' actually ruining my parents' marriage.

My mum had always been a suspicious person. This isn't the first time she's accused father of such nonsense. I say "nonsense" because I believe my dad is just doing his "Christian duty".

What should I do to make things better between them? I'd appreciate your help, thanks.
