Family & Relationships - 12 July 2007

My brother's wife and I are always arguing, which always puts my brother in an awkward position. However, we have to see each other during family gatherings. I really don't want to make it difficult for him, or my parents, but I find her stuck-up, arrogant, annoying, aggressive, shallow and possessive. What can I do to help relieve the situation when we're in the same house.

If you knew your husband had a fetish for pantyhose and heels, would you wear them to please him? My wife never wears them, and I would love to ask my wife to wear pantyhose in bed, but don't know how.

I'm 15 years old, turning 16 in three months, I was in a gang since i was 13, smoked bud, stold things, i even shot somebody. Since my last arrest (4 months ago), my mom stopped working and won't let me go out anymore, I tried leaving but she called the police and always threatens to do so. Now i feel like I don't have a life at all, like im locked up. im sorry for what i did but i wanna be out there in the streets. Was she right to do this?? Am I wrong??

My goal is only to find a companion that I can share some fun with. Just went to a happy hour and I realized that OMG...I have lost my nerve because of being committed for years. Any tips on how to approach a woman at a lounge/bar without looking like a jerk. Or advise on where to meet others. Never thought I would be in this situation. Any advise is appreciated..thanks ladies!

Everyone likes this girl exept me and the manager. She is fake,fake,fake. I am a very honest person. I want to tell her how I feel but I can be a little blunt which comes across as rude. I cant respect my other co-workers if they like her. To me they have character flaws if they cant see through it all. We butted heads once, I can get along with her but I truly can not stand her plus she's lazy, and isnt clean. Im a neat freak. I dont like it affecting the way I feel about the others. HELP!!!!

I have an Aunt who is full of hatred and is envious of quite a few other family members. She degrades me to other family members who then turn around and tell me, and then she denies it. She is obviously unhappy with her life, and wants to make everyone else unhappy too. Hence the term "Misery Loves Company". I stopped speaking to her for about 9 months, and then began talking with her again about a week ago, and she's back to the same undermining schemes and rudeness is even worse than before. I ask her what her problem is, and she says there is none, and then I inquire what did I do to ever hurt her, and she says nothing, and acts like everything she is doing is acceptable. I think she has a split personality disorder, but I am personally fed up with her talking about me behind my back, to other family members about things that only exist in her mind. I'm just wanting to know if anyone else out there went through something like this, and what they did to handle the situation.

Me and boyfriend have been going out 6 months and im thinking about having sex with him (I'm a virgin but he isn't, he hasn't asked or pressured me or anything and were 18). We both love each and have an amazing relationship, but im wondering, i want to ask him to get tested for STD's and maybe HIV before hand or just use condoms in the meantime because i don't like the idea of using condoms really (i'm also on the pill) but i don't know how to go about asking him. How should i word it to him because i don't want him to take offence or anything? It's not that i don't trust him or anything i'll just feel really paranoid after if i didn't ask! How would you guys feel if your bf/gf asked you to get tested?

Ps- we're both quite shy.
Thanks everyone for your help in advance!

If you do not like how your child's father treated you, would you want him around your kid? If you feel he would be a bad influence is it wrong to keep him away? No abuse involved. Lets say the child's father has cheated on you and is a liar....you don't want him to teach your child his morals and ethics do you (esp your son)? Is it wrong to keep the father away from a child when the mother has been wronged by the father?

I brought home two baby bunnies a few days ago. I knew I couldn't keep both, but figured I could give one up and keep one. I work for a local pet store as mangement so I make good money and get a discount on supplies. I am also the one who would be caring for it. His response was to find homes for both and then tell me to bring them to his job, so his coworkers could each take one. He then informed me that there ould be NO more animals in this house. I mean my stand point is it's my house to (or so I thought.) What would you do?
