He says he wants to get married out of state but I don't. My family can't afford to travel. I just don't seem to get excited about anything that has to do with weddings. Even commercials and shows about weddings make me nausous. Lately he seems to be lossing his temper and gets mad at me over nothing. Like this morning, I borrowed his laptop to surf the internet. When he opened it up again the desktop picture was a different size. He accused me of doing something to change it even when I told him I didn't. I am still mad but he acts like nothing is wrong. That is another thing. Every time we have an arguement, I still am upset but he acts like we didn't even disagree. Help!! What should I do???

I see so many questions on who pays for what.
"Well if he pays for child support he shouldn't pay for college."
"If he pays child support why should he help with braces?"

Does anyone know how much it even costs to raise a kid?

According to some sites I've looked at it will cost around $300,000 to raise a child, which includes 4 years of public college, up to the age of 22.

Now, if a non-custodial parent pays child support at an average of $400 a month, they're paying $105,600 for 22 years. That's not even half of the overall cost of raising the child!

The custodial parent is responsible for bringing the child to birthday parties, school events, sporting activities & so on. The other parent just has to show up.

The custodial parent has to help with homework, make sure the child stays healty, stay home from work when the child is ill, go to doctor appts. etc.

Unexpected expenses arise, one would think if it was ABOUT THE CHILD the other parent would readily help.

My boyfriend of 2 years and I can not communicate, we have been in counseling for the last 4 months to work things out and keep this relationship. He knows how I feel about being unwed and realizes he hasn't fully committed.. I'm expecting this month and I've been so down mentally being an unwed mom. My new role is to stay home and raise my child, cook for everyone, clean, and find a child or two to watch to pay my bills. I am starting to fight this stay at home situation lately as I feel why am I committing to a man who will not marry me but wants me to be here for him. He has a mortgage but he has to pay that if I'm here or not. He does try and provide here and there, I just don't want to be here and be this stay at home mother/girlfriend and not get anywhere with it. Why force someone to marry? My dream is to be find a man and be loved unconditionally, a man who truly wants to marry me. I'm just at a lost for words...I feel like giving up.

I am currently talking to someone and we went to the store; he ran into a set of girls he knew and was talking with them for a while. I stood by him the whole time and not once did he turn to introduce me to his friends. He didn't have to include a title especially since nothing is official. I would have appreciated if he said such and such this is so and so. I consider this disrespect. What does everyone think?

My mother in law has decided that this is 'her' wedding. In her words: its my son so its MY wedding! (this she yelled at me when I objected to the menu choices)
We are young and paying for it ourselfs, however the reciption is being held on her property. She seems to be making all the decisions. She said that we have to have beans and rice because thats how her 'traditional' mexican family throws a party (they are not traditional though), that it has to be before a certain day so her best friend won't be out of town (I have never met the woman) and that we need it early in the afternoon so that her friends won't have to leave right away to go home and get ready for work the next day (I want it toward sunset, its outside and the daytime is so hot in Texas!).
Not only that but she is so excited she is planing to wear the suit she was married in 12 years ago (ITS RED, BRIGHT RED!)
How do I regain control of My special day without starting a fight that could ruin it completely?

Im a responsible person, a very marture person for my age. i've, as always, exceeded expectations despite of what people think about me or of me. Im a smart person, loyal, faithful and would never ever ever cheat on my gf. I love to tease, sometimes i look so serious that people mistake it. People know me and what i would do, and if they dont they should believe me when i would say i would never hurt a person intentionally i personally have always have been generous.

If any acts of unbecoming have or had happened (or happens) then its not my fault and if you stay out of my affairs then i wouldnt have to get so angry and emotionally upset at the person(s) - if not people - responsible for such a punishable crime(s). I dont seek hatred (or even love) i seek to be left alone (with my gf) to mind my own business (affairs) and dont expect anyone to get in the way of them whilst im dealing with them. I dont want help and seek none.

If you need help i always will because thats how i am.

I have my side of the bridal party already picked basically. My main question is, she wants me to ask my sister to be one of her bride's maids in the wedding so is that appropriate for that? or should she pick bridesmaids based on her own friends that she has known for awhile?


My other question is, does the bride pick her part of the bridal party and the groom picks his side of the bridal party? As much as I get along with her brother, she wants him to be one of my groomsmen, but I already have mine picked out?

I dated this guy for about 5 months and I cared about him very much...in fact I was in love with him. I know that doesn't seem like a very long time...but we were practically inseperable. Everything was fine and we were both completly happy. Then he went out of town for work for about 2 weeks. When he came back things were different...he was different. He basically disappeared from my life without any kind of explanation.

It hurt...but I got over it...or at least I thought I did. It has been about two months since things ended...and a couple of weeks ago he asked my sister (who he works with) how I was doing. Ever since she told me this I have started thinking about him again.

I have thought about asking him to meet me for a drink so we can talk. It's not that I want to get back together with him but I would like to know what happened. Should I even bother? Should I just try to move on without knowing? Or should I give it a try and see what he has to say?

In fact, I always feel so lucky to have such good parent. and I also always know that my parent hope that I can settle down oversea, but actually that is not want I want, I just want to stay simple in my home country and enjoy simple life till I die. But I have been taken so many things from my parent since I were born, I really think is time to pay them back, but I am so confused, should I live on the life they expect me to be? Because I don't want them to disappoint and want to see them proud when talk about me. or live on the life I choose? The life that they have nothing to feel proud of.

I really dont care for my stepdad.He is worthless and recently he has been picking at my nerves.He has no job and is living of my mom. He touches and takes my stuff which I dont mind until you dont give it back till 3 days later things like my laptop.
He doesnt talk to me or my bros.He only makes comments about stuff hes such a know it all. like when my cat got sck he said your feeding the thing to much food and sayss things dont blame it on me when the ***** dies. He doesnt contribute to the house everything we have was bought by my mom or grandma EVEN his damn shoes. He lays around messing with peoples stuff and breaking things. Ive cursed him out on 2 ocassions so its a mutal hate relationship. my mom is kind of getting feed up with it b/c she hides all the food so he has nothing to eat and she hasnt spoken to him in 4 days. Shes already kicked him out once. and that time she asked us if we wanted him to come back i said no i was the only one who had the balls to say no to his and her face. so i guess if he leaves again and he asks to come back imma say hell no. But what should i do.

As we all know 07-07-07 was supposed to be a BIG wedding day, and my question to you is "Was it really that spectacular?"
Did your telephone ring off the hook with inquiries and requests? As a member of the Association of Bridal Consultants and a wedding ceremony officiant I was associated with four different weddings on July 7 (a home wedding at 7AM, a park wedding at 11AM, a 4PM wedding in the garden of a country inn, and a 630PM wedding at a historic railroad station), and none of these weddings were spectacular or lavish. Tell me about your 07-07-07 experiences . . the good, the bad, and the ugly. And have you received any inquiries for 08-08-08?

In the insect world the female is usually much larger then the male. For instance the Queen bee, or a praying Mantis are quite a bit bigger then there counter parts. How do you think the world would be different if the same was for us humans? Lets just say an adult woman was five times the size of a grown male. Do you think the world would be better or worse?

I'm talking to someone right now and majority of the communication is done by me. He rarely calls or texts me first. Could it be that he's just not interested?

My husband and I went to a party for one of his coworkers. It was outside and we were there about an hour when my husband got up from the table and asked if any one wanted to play bags. I was up from my chair and said I would like to but he said this other coworker was going to play and she was still sitting down in her chair. So she went and played with them. 2 hours later my husband comes back to the table. He left me there for two hours with people I don't know all talking about work and I was left out of most of the conversation. I am just wondering after three games of bags not once did he come ask me if I wanted to play! If I was OK! If I needed anything! I am just mad cause this is coming from a guy who just asked me to give him a month to prove to me he respects me and doesn't want me to leave him. Would you be mad?

There is this girl that I like. We have spent alot of time together. We get along great, and have alot in common. I have shared with her that I have feelings for her. She can never give me a straight answer of how she feels. She just says " I dont know". Man is she bad at sharing feelings with me. Six months has gone by......I did have sex with her 4 times....Everytime I ask her why she doesnt like me, her answer is I dont know. She says that everyone she talks to about it she tells them the same thing, she just doesnt know why. So what do you think, Why doesnt she like me?

Me and my fiance had our first real fight. I mean yelling screaming and the whole thing. It wasen't one of those that you are over in five mintues. Well when i grabbed the phone to call my dad to come get me ( matt had picked me up) he knocked the phone out of my hands and when I grabbed it back he smacked me across the face. he busted my nose and blacked my eye. That was the first time he has ever even raised his voice to me. He has apologized and he is already in anger management. Should I forgive him?
