Family & Relationships - 1 August 2007

I have two girls and their dad and I got a divorce about 7 years ago due to his infidelity. Since then I have married the love of my life and moved. Well my oldest daughter who was 9, decided she wanted to live with her dad when we caught her stealing from us and lying. I confronted her on this and Dad made me the bad guy and claimed she didn't respect me. Therefore, I let her move to her dad's without a fight. Fast forward 4 years. Well, now she is doing all the same things to her dad that she did to me. They have cameras all over the place in their house, bugs on their phone, locks on their bedroom door, pantry and fridge. My question is, my daughter never comes to see me unless it is her birthday or Christmas. Should I still buy her stuff or just not bother? I had her in counseling for a long time but her Dad decided that nothing was wrong and took her out. She doesn't want anything to do with me even though I have done nothing wrong. I have tried to reach out but to no avail.

Masturbation is not as good without porn. Without it it takes longer. Is this normal? I've decided to try to quit watching porn, but its not as good without.

I am standing in my sister in-laws wedding. We are doing all the normal, throwing her a bridal shower and bachelorette party and then standing in the wedding. My question is do I buy a gift for her for everything even though we are paying for all the parties. I don't mind buying gifts but I don't have a whole lot of money so do I not buy one or look cheap with a cheaper gift??

Thanks in advance and please serious answers only.

I was just in Denver with my aunt, and all around her house were pictures of her three children and their significant others - their wedding photos, their children, ect. It made me want my own wedding very bad, and sometimes I wanted it so bad my stomach kind of hurt. Is this normal at 13 years old?

I've been hanging out with my best friend at her boyfriends house, and her boyfriend is trying to hook me up with his friend. I am into his friend, and I think he has a GREAT personality, not to mention he is gorgeous.

Jokingly, we were saying that we were each others dates for the night, I only wish it was true!

We've hung out 3 times now--, and I really just want to let him know that I'm into him--but I don't want to be too direct...here's where the sticky part comes in...

He's in the process of getting divorced, and I know he has a lot on his mind with that. My friends boyfriend told me he is just looking for someone to hang out with and make something out of it a little bit down the road...which is okay with me. I just want to let him know that I'm into him--and I think he is into me. When I left the last time we hung out, he said "I hope we get to hang out again soon..."

What should I do? Should I lay low or should I kinda put myself out there a little bit? HELP

I have a friend in a long term relationship (7 years) and he is miserable because the spark is gone. I thought that when you pass some years together, being in love becomes real love, you can get to eachothers nerves, but since you love eachother you are content and happy. BUT, if one stopped loving the other, that is when a person gets miserable, both of them of course, but mostly the one that still loves but doesn't get the love back. So, if I am correct, if my friend is miserable after 7 years, she must've stopped loving him. Or???

I was with my ex for a year and a half on an off (we are both 25y/o). We broke up because of the strain of the long distance relationship on both are parts he is in the military. Since then I text him once every 3 months to drop a line to see how he is doing. He always responds to the text by calling me...which is cool. But this week he called me out of the blue and we just had a casual conversation for a hour and half.

I still love him but I do you think Im waisting my time trying to nurture this friendship/relationship.

I have not seen him in a year. But I do like to keep tabs on him being that he has a dangerous job in the military.

Please give me your insight

This girl was born and raised in USA in the Indian culture. Her father and my father are high school mates. I used to play with her when she comes to India for vacations. As now we both are in USA I started calling her. She was excited. We talked for hours. She told me everything abt her past ( abt her boyfriends, why she broke up, what she like and what she doesnt like etc) We talked for hours. She used to call me as soon as I come home. What she like and dislike seems to match what I like and dislike. She even told me what kind of kids she wants to have ( I mean what gender they should be ). I really really love this girl and I wanted to marry her. I proposed to her over the phone( probably the worst thing ever I did in my life). Then she said she wanted to date me. She invited me to a BBQ before I proposed. After I proposed she stopped calling me everyday but talk me nice when I calls her. What does it mean? Since she doesnt call me does it mean that its an unofficial "no"

I have been with my wife for almost four years now. A month ago things got real weird. She has become addicted to the internet and has multiple emails and web sites which I have no problem with but lately she closes everything when I walk into the room. When she logs off at night she erases all history where I cant even find pages I was on. I have access to all of her emails I know of but her myspace. We tell each other all of our passwords but she has given me false pwords multiple times. She started to claim she wanted to be with me and another woman at the same time which I sure have NO problem with. So now she is on adultfriendfinder and other websites searching personals. All this came without warning. I am concernd she is hiding secrets by the way she acts sneaky about things. I have caught her in lies before. Is this just leading up to the biggest lie of all? I love her but I am not willing to be hurt. Do I need to leave before she drops a bombshell on me or ride things out?

im 23 going on 24 and i have no clue what i want to do with my life, how to go about it or where to start. the college situation is horrible, it seems as though i cant finish its very frustrating. ive lived a very sheltered life. i never really had to work for anything. and its hard to try to go out there and get simlple things done that any other person my age can get done. it just seems like its taking me forever to get my life going. and to make things worse is that i lost my brother last year and im still not over his death . i t was the first person that i have ever lost in my life and the first funeral that i have ever been to in my life so that was very tramatic for me. people are wondering why is so hard for me because i have been given everything that i need, i have never wanted for anything. this is something that i am struggling with myself

I have a hard time dealing with my mother because she makes everything seem likes its my fault.

I know that I can not be wrong ALL of the time. We have never been close in a mother/ daughter sortof way.

What is the best thing to do except ignore her and not let what she says get into my head?

I used to work for a married couple at a marketing firm and it was interesting to watch. They would argue endlessly. Anyway, I decided to leave because there was too much drama. Plus the husband started to become flirty with me, which caused friction between his wife (my boss) and myself.

I recently posted a question regarding a longstanding friendship with my high school ex, and his somewhat dissaproving fiance.

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AjTsrDpvty2fdt5g1ZHFfAPsy6IX?qid=20070801075418AA1wogo

I've gotten so many nasty responses, saying I should cut ties with him, because his future wife is uncomfortable with our friendship.

Here's my take on things; Insecure women ruin their relationships by letting their insecurities dictate their feelings.

Newsflash: Not every other human with a vagina is a threat.

Why is it so unnacceptable for a heterosexual man and a heterosexual women to be friends?

Why do most women automatically assume that a female friend is out to steal their man? And why is it so difficult to get to know the female friend, see what she's all about,before jumping to such an UNWARRENTED conclusion.
My fiance has many female friends, most of which I've become quite close to. Am I the only woman capable of rational thought?
