Family & Relationships - 29 July 2007

Help, I need your honest opinions: Should I, at 58 yrs. old, adopt my niece's baby? The baby is due in December 2007. My niece has Attention Deficet Hyperactivity Disorder and was abused as a baby, by her dad (who was convicted and is in jail). Anyway, I would need to quit my job, vacate my apartment, sell my belongings and drive to Florida and wait for the birth of the baby. WHAT SHOULD I DO? Is this move what I need in my life? Am I taking a big risk? WHAT SHOULD I DO? One more important thing to add, I have never been a "parent" even when I've wanted to while married. I was married twice and now I'm divorced. There is nothing keeping me where I am - I am free to travel, however, will need to find employment where ever I choose to live. I will accept all sincere opinions and suggestions. I have started packing up my apartment just in case your YAHOO! ANSWER favors highly. HELP me make the correct choice. Thank you.

Ok.. I'm searched and searched so I decided to ask for any help I can get...

Can anyone help me find a picture of a couple fishing... if it's a cartoon, it needs to be serious and pretty, if it's a real life couple, I need it to be generic and not show faces.. something like, out of a painting or just a nice scenery...

Thanks a bunch!

Thinking whether I should proceed with the relationship. It bothers me slightly but she's such a nice girl plus she has a small frame so it looks proportional plus she has other great physical features but again she's really small.
Keeping it anonymous considering how touchy the subject is.

I do love my partner, but I find that I get a kick out of having initmate relations with someone else, especially if they too are married or in a relation. What is strange is that when I try to perform with my partner, it takes time for me to reach orgasm, and more often than not, it doesn't happen. However, with other women, I find that I come earlier than I want to. This may be entirley psychological and this is a sick and dirty habit I want to get rid of. Has anyone been in a similar situation and what tools did you use to stop this horrbible betrayal? Regards

i've known her for awhile and am interested in her, but i do not know if that feeling is being reciprocated. We planned to go to the movies, but should i bring a flower? or is it too much and should i go empty handed?

Recently, I joined myspace.com. I reached out to an old classmate. She friend requested me and wrote me an email back. She informed me that she was living in NYC and that she is dating a great guy. She said to me, "people here in NYC are either single or dating, marriage is like foreign here. lol. But I'm so happy for you though." I was a bit offended by this statement. Is it just me or was this offensive? Didn't it seem like jealousy?

I really want to experience going out to the bridal store, picking out a gown and just wearing it. But he wants me to wear something simple. I find myself getting annoyed. I feel it's my 1st big day whereas we both would become one. I don't want the whole big sha-bang like a bachelorette party and etc. I just want to wear my dress and have a photographer take pictures of the BIG DAY when it comes. I want it to be memorable and simple at the same time.

I pitched a plan to my fiance. The plan was to throw a nice Thanksgiving Dinner Party at a hall and invite all of our family and friends so we can make the big announcement. We are getting married on my birthday which is October 11th of this year. So all we're doing is just announcing we got married already.

I really don't know what to do. I need all the suggestions I could get about my situation. How would you work this out with your fiance? What simple wedding plans did you arrange?

I'm an only child turning 20 soon. My parents are getting older, and I'm realizing that when they die I wont really have any family. I'm kinda depressed about it. I've always wanted siblings, but never had them. I'm not sure there's any benefit to being an only child, I got a lot of nice stuff, but I have no one to share it with.

I am 20 year old girl and live in a flat on second floor. My bathroom window is toword the street and covered with curtain. But if you try little harder , you can poke inside, but for that you will need ladder and there is big risk of being caught. Most importantly, it is not ovious. I never dreamed that some body will look. To make long story short, two neiougbourhood guys, on the excuse of doing maintaiance, did poke through when i was taking shower at night. I think that they saw me naked, but i am not 100% sure, but 99%. I can see the smile on their face and the fact i know that they were doing some maintainance work at the same time. What should i do? I am really ashamed

We messed around a couple of times and i felt like i was a teenager again. He had dreamy eyes and he was such a sweetheart. Well the last day i was there i found out that he broke up with fiance 2 months ago!!! I dont lkie being played with and for some damn reason i thought we had a connection.

Ok so me & my BF have been dating for almost a yr now& I've known that his bestfriend is a girl (i have no prob w/ that, my bestfriend is a guy) his bestfriend isn't very attractive so I thought there was no reason to feel threatened. Problem is, a couple weeks ago I found out his bestfriend is also his x-gf (was w/ her for 5 yrs & lost it 2 her) Now it bothers me that he goes into the other room to talk to her & if I do the same w/ WHOEVER I am talking to he accuses me of cheating. When I try to talk to him about this, he right away says he is not going to stop talking to his bestfriend and I'm not even asking him to. She also didn't even know he was dating anyone until recently. We live together so I know he's not cheating on me, he spends lots of time w/ me... but should I be worried about his x-gf?

I've seen advertised these tiny stickers that you print your email and hand out to your wedding guests at the reception. This is a reminder to them to email you pics from thier camera when they get home in case they got a special shot that your photographer or the other guests might have missed. I can not recall what they were called or even the website that they are located at. If someone is familiar, I'd love some feedback. (BTW, they can be used for wedding/baby showers or any type of party)

My boyfriend has been friends with this one girl that he knows since about 7th grade. (Note he's in senior year now.) Since he was younger he had he biggest crush on her and thought she was just about the perfect person. However, my and my boyfriend have been best friends since seventh grade to but our relationship was always choppy because of different situations we had been through. The only thing that would make me think that it was choppy was that we went to the same school and him and his other best friend didn't. Growing up with him always talking about her was an upset since he tells her just about everything. He always use to say I was his best friend like his number one which didn't seem to matter much to me. But once he started putting what she thought over what I thought it upset me and now that were going out I don't know if I should worry about him and her but it just seems like they're way to close and theres still chemistry between them. Am i jealous or practical?

so i met this guy last weekend and gave him my email....he added me on msn, we chatted and set up our first date for wednesday...during the date everything seemed to be going well - conversation was flowing, eye contact, smiling, laughter, he paid for the drinks etc & at the end we did the whole cheek kissing thing (am in europe lol) and he called me back for one more since apparently you have to do it 3 times here or something! haha
it is now sunday and i have not heard from him....i know he is busy working and stuff but still...what do you think? should i wait it out some more? should i email him telling him about what a great time i had? or do you think he is simply not interested? :( im really into him and am slightly confused...help!
