Family & Relationships - 24 July 2007

My boyfriend and I are young we are both 17 almost 18. We have been dating for 4 years, and haven't really fought at all. We are both secure in our relationship and often talk about marriage. I think we are both ready for the next step, but our parents are more than likely completely against it. I know mine are for sure and his are more than likely. We don't want to get married until we are done with school, but we would love to be engaged. We both feel that having that commitment is a huge step for both of us and we are ready, but our parents are the issue...I guess I just need advice...

I met a man a few months back who has two girls aged 11 and 15. He has then half time every Thursday til Saturday afternoon. When he's with them during this time or away with them, I do not hear from him and I have been respecting that.. I guess I'm just trying to figure out how I fit into all this...I guess I just feel a bit left out at times....like may-be I'm not that important. I know his kids will always be more important, but where is the line here in terms of us? For example, I had been mentioning that it would be great for the two of us to go on a trip or something in the fall/winter, but his response was that he wanted to take the girls on a trip somewhere...he didn't tell it was his birthday 'til after the fact and basically said that it was more important to him that his family remembered and such...it just made me feel like I was in a separate box from everything. I have not met the kids yet and he says his younger one is protective of him..I just don't know..advice

My husband is in the army and has been deployed numerous times in the last 8 years. This last deployment really took a large toll on him. He came home a completely different man. I understand that the things he's seen over there were probably really ugly, but he is rude to me, very impatient w/our son, totally bipolar and flies off the handle about EVERYTHING. He's not the same man I married. We've been through deployments before, so I really dont know why this one has totally screwed him up! I'm scared! I dont want to risk our marriage, but something has to be done. Please dont recommend marriage counseling, because we've been there and done that. He just thinks we're ganging up on him
(the counselor and myself) even though that's not really the case...We had another baby a year ago, and I thought he would mellow out, but no. He decided to go to an anger management class, he went once and never returned. He calls me nasty names...I've just had it. Anyone else understand?

my cousin is getting married in 2 weeks. We are not very close. (and the past 3 years her dad and my dad have been fighting and he isnt even invited). I am bringing a date who doesnt know anyone. I also get uncomfortable in churches because i am not religious at all. I would like to just go to the reception.

I start picking my own guys instead of letting them choose me. She said to browse myspace (she did and met an awesome guy that she's been with for over a year). So I decided to give it a try just for kicks, not really trying to "find" a guy and I clicked on this guy's page and got a strange feeling of deja vue and butterflies when I saw him and began to read about him. I can't describe the feeling. I've never felt anything like it before and it sort of freaked me out. We have so much in common its scary. It felt like I was reading about myself. I can "see" myself in this guy. I'm aware that people often feel a connection with those that have common interests, etc. but it was totally different. I sent this guy a message making casual conversation (not implying that I "liked" him) and he just ignored it, but I have a gut feeling deep down not to give up on him, like what I felt is real, its just not the right time to meet yet. *continued...*

Before you answer, It is merely an invitation to join a website. Let me explain the situation better I was her Online Boyfriend for about only a month I broke us up because I didnt feel like we really had much in common at all.

I said to myself before "Its for the best that I break this relationship up now then later there's no use living a lie and pretending to like her" Still it puzzles me why she sent me an email just today to join a site!

My Question is Why did she email me? I was the one who broke up with her before why would she want me to get back into contact? It doesn't make any sense at all to me.

here's the deal. i've been w/ my child's father very off and on for the past six years. we have both made some major mistakes and done some cruel things to one another. but dramatic life changes,soul searching,and major growth have changed both of us, seemingly for the better. we love our daughter and enjoy raising her together. she wants to see us together and we have talked about marriage but i haven't given him a concrete answer. because of our past issues neither of us fully has the support of our families/friends. does anyone here have any POSITIVE or encourage stories to share? this will help make my decision to be fully committed to this union. we do love one another in a way no one can seem to understand but im questioning if this bond is bc we share a child/are best friends or bc we really want to be together.
