Family & Relationships - 30 July 2007

hi...i'm a 21 yr old woman. i have a step-brother and step mom. all my life i've experienced how much they hate me. mom's always discriminated against me and my step brother has always tried to bully and humiliate me. he's just a about a yr older to me. gradually as we grew up, he was kinder to me......kind of stopped talking to me altogether unless it was something very important. he has always taken everything concerning me jokingly. i don't hate him, i detest him. last week me and my boyfriend announced our plans to get married soon. dad was very happy....even mom approved. my two younger half-brothers were excited (perhaps the only 2 people to even care about me in the whole household). my step-bro was mad at me. he was dignified in front of my bf but after the whole thing was over he came down on me like lightning. he said i was making a big mistake by choosing 'that guy'. he said he's not good enough and god knows what. where is the brotherly love trickling in from suddenly??

I thought living together was all about not being committed. If you want the benefits of commitment, get married!

I'm resubmitting this question due to a recent article on the subject:

Please read the article before answering. It is an eye opener.

He says he told her that he just wants to be friends and that because of that, I shouldn't have a problem with the situation. We broke up over this yesterday. He is now screaming that I want to control him and he should have a right to have any friends he chooses, and if I really trusted him, I would have no problem with this, even though this married woman has come on to him!!! Wouldn't any girlfriend ask him to give up this relationship?? Isn't he showing an incredible lack of respect to me, not to mention the woman's husband, by continuing to be friends with her after she has come on to him? We are over, but I need reassurance from the people out there that I'm not being over controlling!!! Thanks!!

I met a Lady 19 months ago and we started dating.From the on-start, I've been the one who holds and keeps the relationship going.After nine months of our love she was transfered to a far state where she now works.Is been ten months since she left, and she had only called 5 times.While I always call her to see how she's doing. She does not even care for me. The last time I visited her, I came back with anoyance due to the treetment she gave me. She did not even give me a hand shake not to talk of a hug, someone you said you love and have not seen him for a long time. I don't talk too much, but this lady has turned me a talkative due to her attitude.She does not know how to make me happy and does not even care to know the things that makes me happy.But she keeps on telling me that we are meant to be. But I have not seen any sign that shows that we are meant to be together, yet I still love her so greatly than any other that have crossed my way. I love her so much,she always say same.

I've been with my boyfriend for 18 months. Trouble is he is in awful debt. His parents keep lending him money...never help him out..they just seem to encourage it.

I was meant to be moving in with him but to be honest i don't think i could trust him with paying rent and bills...(as he probably would spend all his wages and not have enough to pay the rent etc)

On Sunday he promised he would stop the spending..then last night i found out he is spending £200 on his mum's birthday present..i'm so mad...because its £200 he doesn't have..Its a quarter of his wages..and his mum lets him spend it..even though she knows how much in debt he is.

I don't know what to do...i've tried talking to him..but he won't listen. I've put money aside for our future..but he has made no effort at all. i don't know what to do?

My boyfriend and I used to share the same home, but I moved out recently. He said he neededsome space. I don't know if I have to believe in that. At first I was devastated, but I have 2 jobs right now and took all the appliances I bought , and moved back to my parents' house. I like my independence, and I think I'm doing well, and I'm good enough, but why doi feel I need his approval to make me feel better about myself?

I don't wanna go to the movies or the mall, because that's so cliche. Where else can we hangout that doens't require a car. Because we live next to each other kindof. Should I just ask him to take a walk with me? is that weird? oh yeah, and our parents are strict and dont let us hangout with the opposite sex so we can't go to each others houses.
HELP?

if your mate was invited to a 3-day cruise by a friend.

the friend is married also and is the same gender as your mate. the friend is in town to visit your mate.

keep in mind your mate's friend has even welcome you coming along too if you wanted to.

would you be ok or comfortable with letting your mate go on the cruise? if not, please state why?

This girl is always asking me about the men in my life and
always asks the guy I secretly like what is the deal with me...there's nothing going on YET...
The girl always asks me did you sleep with and names different people. And when I say no she says she can tell I want to...WHAT?
She asked me how you is the youngest guy I've ever dated. The guy I like is younger than me...


Now on to the guy...
He asked me if I was flirting with another guy in front of him...(I was only talking).
And he asks if I am sleeping with a specific guy...but not the guy the girl has picked out for me...

I have heard the two of them discussing me. She asked was my music what he liked about me. I didn't hear his answer.


So why are these two so interested in who I am paying attention to, who I'd date, who I'd sleep with...and why does he act jealous...and frankly so does the girl...


I'm not a **** or anything. I am not even currently dating. But I do like the guy in the situation.

My neighbor is from the Dominican and she doesn't speak English well. She has been beaten by her husband many times before and is scared of him. She cannot get a PFA because the daughter is scared and will not confess to authority. The psycho husband has been sleeping with this girl now 19 since she was 4. What can I do to stop it. Last time I spoke to (Gladis) her daughter was showering with her father?! She needs help and the cops won't do anything because the kid is scared. Please help!
