What made you suspicious? What did you do with your suspicions? If you are the type that would prefer to pretend it isn't happening, how long would you let it go? What are certain things that would make you very suspicious? What did you do to try and catch him/her? Anything you have to add. THANKS!

We have been in our present home for nearly 10 years, I dislike the town we are in and have never truly settled here. We have a disabled son and a teenage daughter. My mother and brothers live 20 miles away and I want to move back to this town where my husband and I met and were brought up - its our roots. My husband is not budging one bit - he refuses to go backwards, for him it is, for me its forwards. Its a busier town, feel so comfortable with the people, we have friends there and family. He doesnt want to uproot our daughter's school, she is 13, nor do I but I have been so unhappy for years and I can't take much more living here. We are arguing alot and the strain is taking its toll on all of us. How can I make him see that we need a support network around us, I have struggled for so long caring for our son and I need help with him and my husband obviously has to work. We have been married 20 years. Thanks

Here's the picture...a woman in her mid forties has started a relationship wiht a much younger guy..mid twenties. She looks very good.. maybe ten yrs yonger. But the guy still has years of college to go while she has a stable job. He seems to really like her and there's loads of chemistry. Do you think there is a future for this couple? She'd like to settle and she's a good person. What if he'd like a child later on? Anyone have experience with this? Are guys often able to pass a woman by because of her age, even if its the love of their life? Especially, I'm interested in how you guys think on this one!

Men - do your wives become less attractive / sexually stimulating to you after you've been married for a while? - i.e., b/c you get used to your wives, & there is newer (perhaps more objectively attractive) stimuli out there... I'm not talking about committment ~ just wondering about mens' sexual reactions after they've been married for some time.

My sister-in-law was complaing over the tux rental her husband was having to pay and she was upset he bought the couple a gift as well. She thinks it is gift enough to the couple for him to be in the wedding. But of course no gifts were turned down by her from her own wedding party.

One of my friends is studying abroad in Japan right now, she said before she left that we're going to have to keep in touch through email (said it 3 times in 3 diff texts lol), a few days before she left I felt like she blew me off in hanging out because she only wants to be friends (I like her but she doesnt like me same way and I know this because she said she just wants to hang out as FRIENDS (in caps)). But we hung out the week before that and then we both got busy.

Anyways, I emailed her about 1.5 weeks ago (1 week after she got to Japan) to see how things are going there. The thing is, she hasn't initiated any emails to me since she has been there. She usually initiated text convos here in the US though.

If I email her after 1.5 weeks of no contact, would that look like I am chasing her? or something? Do you think she will laugh and be like "haha I knew he'd email me..." or something? Would it be nice to ask

Why do Men Cheat on their girls??... Here is the situation... I knw a guy that is totally unfaithful to his girl…. He is a very well known guy, good looking, successful, and very charming. However, when he is away from home (travels a lot) he tends to call another girl (booty call) and COMPLETELY acts all very lovingly to his girl when he is home. She is completely in love with him. He seems to be the perfect boyfriend around her… but when he is away, he has a total different personality. Why is he like that??

We really don't know this family at all. They just moved to town a couple of months ago. My daughter spent the night there earlier this week. They live in a brand new house, that is very nice. They have a daughter that is my daughters age and then two little boys under three. They would be going to a lake resort about two hours from our house. I am not sure if I should even consider this or not. My daughter is a good kid and is very smart, but she likes to flirt and be in the in group. I am worried about not having enough supervision and her getting into trouble with boys. What do you think??

Ok, I live right around Philadelphia (city of brotherly love, amirite?) and one of my favorite things to do is shoot some b-ball outside of my school with my friends. A few days ago, though, a couple of guys who were up to no good started making trouble in my neighborhood. I thought it would be safe to go out and play with my friends, but while I was out I got in one little fight, and when I told my mom she got all scared and started talking about sending me to live with my uncle and auntie who live near Los Angeles. I tried to talk to her about it but she was too busy drinking a fouty and eating fried chicken to listen. What should I do? I don't want to live in California because I heard from hal turner that there are gay men who will rape you in the street!!!

I have been married for 2 years to a guy who is really not very nice to me. He is very verbally abusive and I want a divorce. I told him a few weeks ago that I was leaving and he told me that I wasn't.

My problem is that I do care about him and I want him to be happy, but I can't have that happen at the expense of my own happiness. I really don't know what to do. He and his family are very religious and don't believe in divorce. We have tried couples counseling but he won't participate. I feel like I am out of options to make this thing work and I just don't know what to do? I feel like he doesn't listen to me at all. He is contantly trying to parent me. It does not feel anything at all like a partnership. I am pretty sure that I want to leave and just start fresh, but he says "no." What is the right answer? Do I keep trying to make it work and sacrifice my own happiness for the next 40 years?

well i moved back home after breaking up w/ the girl. finally getting back on my feet financially & emotionally. i'm working 2 jobs. it was hard breaking up w/ her but necessary. if u need some background on my situation look at my previous yahoo questions. that's the story. anyway, the ex called wanting a 2nd chance just recently. she said she is sorry & that the kids miss me. i told her that things have changed & i don't want to be involved right now. i want to focus on me & my life for alittle bit w/out the drama of having children around. they are nt my kids by the way. i wasn't trying to be mean about it. i was telling the truth. i miss having time to myself, going to different places and having fun when i go out w/out stress of them being up in my grill & worrying about a getting a babysitter. most of all i think she wants a "daddy" & someone to take care of her & nt a lifelong partner. i'm nt wanting to do the taking of part. am i wrong for this. i was being honest to her.

We used to get along great, but now that he is driving a car he seems to think that he is all grown up and can call me names for no reason, argue about everything I say, and just plain offensive and rude.
His dad says it is just his age (17). I disagree, I have grown children of my own that would of never been allowed to disrespect an adult, and I do not try to be a parent to him as he has his Mother and father in the picture. Should I just ignore him or stick up for myself?

I was just given a wedding shower on my mom's side and my hosts invited someone that my Mom did not intend on inviting to the wedding. They did not go over the list with me as to who they were inviting. Does that mean that I now have to invite this person to the wedding too?

It just happened. I was working in a bar, and in my free time, reading a book by Carlos Castaneda, "The Power of Silence", where Don Juan kept hitting Carlos in his "Assemblage Point", in the book, but it was not clear on where exactly that assemblage point is. So, anyway, this musician on one lateSaturday night was fighting with another Musician on the stage, and I had to stop it, so I walked up and hit him right where his head and neck joined.
He went down right away, and I actually thought for a moment I might have killed him. By the time he got back up, I had already fled to the kitchen and hid behind the sink and the knives.
He came in and looked right at me, then turned around and got a beer from the fridge. Days later he calls and asked why he had bruises on his neck. Then he finally comes back on Thursday and looks me in the eye and tells me, "Somebody hit me in the BACK of the head!" (Uh oh)
I tried to look very sorry, but later I couldn't stop laughing... I still can't.

I come from a very "traditional" family that looks down at this, and all the conservatives always say that this is bad because it increases the chances of the relationship not working out....but is this really true? Is it really a bad thing to move out with your girlfriend/boyfriend?

My mother is just beginning the process of divorcing my step-father of 7 years... She discovered his online cheating for the 3rd time and is fed up of giving him chances to redeem himself... Well everything is going to have to change for all of us (5 kids, one is his)... How do I help her through this??.. other than helping with bills, stuff around the house and with the rest of the kids...

Also, I was planning on moving out by mid next year when after getting married... would that be abandoning her in a time of need??

and won't let up, and won't let her get away, and she hits him,is it abuse? I mean like when he just sees her glance at a poster of a guy, and then starts yelling at her in the face that she likes other men, and that she is a _______, and doesn't deserve him. And that is all she did. And he keeps on and tells her that the family doesn't need her at all, they'd be better off without her, and she strikes out and slaps him, is it abuse?
