I wait around and bring my phone with me everwhere waiting on the call, but it never comes. He's always making up some stupid excuse as to why he couldn't call. I don't know why it drives me so crazy, but it does. All my friends and family keep telling me that it's just how guys are. Is that really how all guys are? Is there no hope?

attractive lately (in terms of manners). I don't why, it is more of a recent occurence. The men are more disciplined, swift, smart and dedicated. The women are more nible, sharp (and thin). They're more witty and some dress quite cute too.

Anyone else into Asians? (Im not Asian btw & Im Muslim lol)

I have a guy friend and all the signs point to "more than friends" behavior...but we're not dating.
What is going on if the clues scream, but his mouth is mute?

Today my boyfriend went to pick up his close lady-friend (who just got back from visiting her boyfriend) at the airport. He said that he'll be back soon, and we agreed that I should prepare food.
I was lovingly cooking for him, however and he left a voicemail saying the flight was delayed. So I didn't eat the food I made, and I waited for him, for 2 hrs (airport is 30 mins away).
I finally call him, and he says that he ate with his lady-friend, at a restaurant, cos' she had a stressful trip etc.
I expressed my displeasure, told him i was disappointed, and that he treated me like crap. He apologized in his adorable way.
Looking back now, I'm wondering if I overreacted. And before I apologize and fall for his puppy-dog look, I need to know if I stand corrected. THanks <3

My brother is dating this girl that continues to play mind games with him. He got into a fight with his best friend and me because we have tried to tell him that she is no good for him. But he thinks that she is perfect. What can I do to make him realize that she is no good for him?

Don't say "move out"....that's not an option at this point due to many complicated reasons. I'm sleeping in the living room but I have dreams and wake up crying.

Well I am 14 years old and this summer was my first summer of working. Well i was a dishwasher at a restaurant and was doing great. people were saying was doing a good job, one guy even said I was the best guy in there and my employer was going to give me more hours. Tonight i got in there and there was no running water (pipes broken) and i couldnt run the dishwasher or the sink. They brought in a vat of water and put it into the sink and told me to handwash which was redicolous for a restuarant on a busy night . I was trying hard but soon found myself overwhelmed in an absolute mountain of dishes I couldnt get cleaned before the waitors were complaining that there was more and I had to hurry up. It was way to much for me I was very stressed out at the time as well about my grandma in the hospital and I just lost it and walked out without saying anything. I called my boss and explained what happend and asked if I could still work there and he said dontcount on it nd hungup.WhatshudIdo?

A lot has happened but it seems that life keeps bringing my old high school sweetheart and I back to the opportunity for a relationship. We both were married and divorced and then got together again in '02. We both went different ways, both have had a relationship and had a child with someone but we are still the best of friends. Everything is so easy and comfortable with him. I just don't know what to think. He told me tonite that "the truth comes out, I miss you, you complete me". I am in a relationship that has problems to say the least, we never communicate and then things go bad from there. My old flame and I have excellent communication and always have. I just wondered if anyone has thoughts on the idea of people being meant to be together or if you think it is a load of crap.

At present, the Family Court plunders the hearts and souls of men and pushes them to the abyss; and often, then some. Was there ever a time when injustice was so well lubricated by a woman's tears?
Fashion is so ubiquitous. But who would of thought that its vagaries could frolic with quintessential virtues of the human spirit as justice and truth. Particularly, in the forum of our own venerable Family Court.
The current fashion in the Family Court is for a man to be met with the ex-partner's sworn affidavits, prepared by lawyers portraying him as a depraved and violent beast who is a danger to both the ex-partner and the children.

One of the common, coolest and effective approaches at separation is to enrage and upset the male partner by totally denying him contact to the children prior to issuing the Court proceedings. The payoff really comes in if he then becomes emotionally distraught so as to behave in a self-destructive manner, as this can really zestify an affidavit.

It is also very chic at this time to obtain a restraining order. With a bit of luck, the bonus of getting the police directly involved will soon present itself. This is often achieved by the woman hinting that contact to the children, a reconciliation or even sex, are a possibility, this will usually lure the big dope into the Restraining Order Forbidden Zone.(ROFZ)

Once the man is, by his mere presence, in a breach of the restraining order (and the woman has ensured that her fridge is stocked with his grog),then….the piece de resistance; the woman engineers an argument and calls the police. If all has gone well, the police will find a half drunk, emotional guy ready to redefine the term "idiocy".

If he then be hand cuffed, oh so tightly, dragged away and charged with breach of a restraining order, offensive language, resist arrest and even the "biggie", assault police, then the woman is superbly poised to be showered with such attention and accolades at the next talk-fest of the shrivelled hearts club so as to warm the very cockles of her ego.

Even if the male protests that he was invited to the home by the woman, are to be believed, the criminal charge will stand. The woman will not be prosecuted for aiding and abetting the breach; to do so would be so distastefully gauche!

But... back to the Family Court. The congenial manner in which the Family Court accommodates the machinations of deceitful and vindictive women is a marvel to behold. The Court so often displays psychological acumen equivalent to caving in to a child chucking a tantrum over a Freddo Frog at the local Woolies checkout.

One of the common ways in which the Family Court validates its bias against men is by deciding cases on the basis: that to accede to the whims and convenience of the woman makes for a happy mother who makes for happy children ... cute isn't it.

In contrast, the man appearing in the Family Court usually responds in a sullen or angry manner or bleeds stoically from the heart, either way presenting no problems for his clinical disposal by a judge whose sense of chivalry has been thrust into hyperdrive by the womans's perfumed and tear stained affidavits before the Court.

The Family Court is an expensive failure. It's "head" centred structure is abjectly useless at dealing with the children in adult bodies that have cusody and access disputes before it. The Court also mostly sees couples only after they have mortally slashed at each other and gangrene has set in. Furthermore, at present, Family Court orders are flouted with impunity and the enforcement procedure, which is left to be carried out by the aggrieved party, is asinine and toothless.

Separation is the critical stage that should be regulated. An application to separate made to an enlightened body presided over by persons who have courage and justice in their souls, and love and understanding in their hearts, would go far in stemming the tide of acrimony which courses from the Faily Court into the community. This Tribunal would not use affidavits as evidence but would have the guts and also the heart to see and hear the parties at first hand.

At such a "Separation Tribunal" the parties would also be supported by persons skilled in handling emotional pain and who do not have a vested financial interest in scavenging amongst the emotional carcasses of failed relationships.

A procedure whereby failures to comply with orders of the "Separation Tribunal" were prosecuted by police, would not only gain genuine respect for the Tribunal it would also immediately abate the pandering to deceit and vindictiveness by those currently making a career out of it.

At present, the Family Court plunders the hearts and souls of men and pushes them to the abyss; and often, then some. Was there ever a time when injustice was so well lubricated by a woman's tears?

I have been married for almost 4yrs with my beautiful wife. I'll do anything for her, i have proven this to everyone in our lives.She asks i respond, (not like a servant). Its just that when ever I ask of her she acts like she is very put out by the things i say. I have even found her ignoring me. This has been going on now for a little over a year. It is getting out of hand. This is now to the point that we can not even communicate. I have been always an open door to her when ever she has something to say, I do find (some) of the things she says facinating. She also has gotten very(very) lethargic in this year or so as well. She litterally lays in bed all day. She is not depressed just i think...lazy (I hate to say it). What should i do, I can not live like this any more. And yes we have been fighting about communicating. Please Help...

My best friend thinks I broke a promise that I gave her but I don't. What I did was not what the promise was but she thinks it is what the promise was. In my eyes I think I didn't break the promise but in her eyes I did and the only eyes that really matters are hers. She will not talk to me. It has been two weeks and I have tried to talk to her at work and I was talking to her for like 5 minutes and all she gave me was a head nod, shrug of the shoulders and thumbs up or down. I haven't heard her voice in two weeks. And I asked her if she wants me to wait untill she comes to me and she gave me a head nod. I told her that I am not going to do that. She walks right by me and looks at me then puts her head down. I feel horrible but I think that it is just a big miunderstanding. What should I do? Is it really that bad for her to not be talking to me for 2 weeks?

I'm moving 11 hours away from my boyfriend for 10 months. I'm hoping that everything will hopefully work out. We've been down a long bumby path and dated on and off for the last 2 years.

I want to give him something to remember me with and I'm leaving right before his birthday and I want to give him something really cool.

He's into skating and stuff, any ideas?

I'll preface this by saying that I am not a rose kinda girl. It would be so much easier if I was but I'm not.

Colors are deep plumy purple, pumpkin orange, chocolate brown, and white. I really want a clean look so something that would look great as a single stem is a bonus.

Links to pictures would be great if you have them but not necessary.

My husband says he wants to make our marriage work and I want that too. I have never felt so unsure about myself before. We didn't communicate about alot of stuff and I feel that led to the affair. I've been asking him about details and he has lied to me (he says he lies so not to hurt me). I just feel like I need to know everything, so that way I can just get over it (or decide not to). I just don't want to find out about something later and open up the hurt all over again. Should I just let it go and judge my husband by how he is with me know or do I need to know everything, so that I can keep it from happening again?

Ok, my wife said she was going to work this morning and instead of going she went with some guy for 8 hours where she says that she talked to him about bankruptcy and other things about finances and stuff...I called up at her work today and they told me that she wasn't scheduled to work and that they hadn't seen her all day...when she got home I asked her how work was and she said that it was ok...then I asked her what area of the factory she was working in and she said a different one that normal...I then told her that I had called up there and everyone said that she wasn't there....She admitted that she was with this guy all day and that nothing went on other than them talking about financial stuff...she said nothing more than that went on. Is this constituted as cheating? She has cheated on me once before...what should I do? We do have a 6 mos. old son....

A guy at a store I visit often, it's small and he's usually manning the desk when I go. We usually chat a bit, though I don't know what to say or how to ask him about himself, and my mom is convinced he has something for me, because he seems glad to see me. Once I went and he wasn't there, and later he said he was sorry he didn't see me because he was out of town. I thought he was just being friendly to keep me as a customer.

Oh but he's got a ring on his right hand ring finger..doesn't that mean something?

And I don't want people to focus on age, but he is older than me, probably by only a few years.
