Family & Relationships - 2 August 2007

How do you feel about high school kids dating one another?
I'm an incoming sophomore girl this year, and I've actually always been opposed to teens dating...It seems the majority of teens who get involved in relationships, only do so for some kind of social pass time, rather than anything meaningful. And lot of the time (probably most of the time) it leads to things such as sex, which, in my opinion, is not something high school kids should be doing. Plus, I don't believe in pre-marital sex anyway.
However, I've been thinking about the whole dating thing, and my opinion is starting to sway( at least for some of the older, more muture kids)...For example, I'm very muture for my age and I like this Senior guy, who I don't know very well, but we're friends; and if he were to ask me out I'd probably say yes...I have high standards set for myself, and school is very important to me so I can't see anything too wrong with that...WELL, I'm confused!
What do you guys think about all this?

i broke up with my ex about 4 months ago, for a lot of reasons, and some of them had to do with him acting like a jerk. i never told him those reasons, and i really dont know why. and now he's being even more obnoxious, and he thinks he's completely innocent and im just ignoring him to be mean. but honestly, im being as nice as i can by not saying anything. i come from a church where everybody knows everyone else's business. and his family is the worst. you tell one person in the family something, and two days later the whole church knows, and the story's gotten twisted around ten times. so if i tell him how i feel, itll get around to everyone and ill be made out to be the bad guy, while he looks completely innocent. my family is very strict, and my mom keeps telling me to try and be nice to him and not tell him what i really think about him. but i dont know if i can hold it in any longer. what should i do??? thnx for the help.

A good friend of mine is getting married next August and since she is currently in Idaho, I told her I would help her find her place. She wants to get married on the Oregon Beach, so I am looking for a place that is blocked from the wind and usually has decent weather at least in August. Thanks for you help!!!

but it's hard enough to take care of our 7 year old son and 3 year old daughter. And our work hours, are hard to deal with and she's not even home that much. And her drunk mother watches our kids about 14 hours a day. And why does she want another kid, shes like hardly home. She goes to work at 3:00am then she goes to school for 4 hours. Then she always has errands to do which takes about another 2 hours. And by the time she gets home it's about 7:00pm and she leaves at 3:00am but still shes gone and i have a job too. And hardly spends time with them. Why does she want another kid?

My husbands parents have never been very respectful of me or my feelings. They live directly across from us and are always in our business. Let me give some examples, one day I was having severe cramps and I was terrified I had an ectopic pregnancy. I went to talk to his mother about it b/c I was so scared I was pregnant and I would have to abort it and his father was listening and came in and actually told me that if I was pregnant the baby would be better off dead then to have me as a mother for it, and his mother laughed! I went home crying and told my husband and all he said was, "He didn't mean anything by it." Luckily I wasn't pregnant though. They also say little things, like they know I'm from the city (they're from the country) and they're always talking about how horrible city people are right in front of me and my husband just sits there. Well now I have a 6 month old baby and they keep him alot b/c everytime I ever kept him his mother would throw a fit and everyone would...

Ive been with my GF for about a year and a half, she just texted her ex asking him how he is doing. If she loves me why would she text him? She said she just wanted to see how he was doing not to think of anything because she is in love with me and she wants to grow old with me. Now today i saw on her MYSPACE that she sent another EX a comment telling him she ran into a female friend of his. When i confronted her she said that she is just being nice and i have nothing in the world to worry about. We have split up once cause she cheated. Since we got back together she has shown me alot of love and difference. But now these two incidents happen. She says that she will never talk to them again if its going to hurt us but its not the first time she has done this. Does that mean she is cheating again and should i end the relationship?

I bought a silicone dildo (safe, non-latex) on-line. It wasn't cheap but I know my wife could use silicone instead of other materials that make her itch. HOWEVER, this morning I get the UPS package, take out the box and HAHAHAHAAH... the thing is freakin' huge. Two inches around. Like a baby's arm. Do I send it back (they allow that if original package was unopened -- it is transparent) and get my money back, or do I show it to my wife who may one, get turned on... two, laugh... or three, get grossed out and wonder why she married such a sicko. Help

in order to take care of his girls on visits...His ex-wife says she can't have them. The power of attorney gives her the right to do everything from taking care of school things to getting medical treatment...even though the ex- wife has custody and it is shared parenting can the power of attorney help her keep visitations after they are married

I have a really great family. Each loves me and my parents work really hard to earn decent wages.
The thing is Im VERY different to all of them.
... I read alot and my sister always slags me calling me boring ... My mother always says 'why dont you go outside and excercise, socialise - but she doesnt realise the only thing people my age (17) is drink and have sex . . . Not what I want.
My Dad is loud and abbrasive, he is known to my cousins as 'their crazy wild uncle' but to me, he is silly and loud ...

I just feel confined, and were going away tomorrow on a family holiday, all they want to do is lay on the beach, and then go out and drink at night.
I want to go to Museum's, sites and carnivals...

I just feel so dumb and out numbered, I feel like Im adopted sometimes....

So when having sex with other women...all I have to do is let her know about it before it happens.

What are some current trends that will stay and become traditions.

I'm talking in terms of decor, practices, attire, etc.

I'm totally confused about what to make of my wife's relationship with some of her coworkers. I really trust her completely, but don't trust her coworkers at all. My wife is gorgeous and she's also extremely friendly and smart. There have been three or four occasions over the past year when she'd be telling me about a guy who she'd become friends with. She mentioned one guy had been putting some pressure on her to go out to office-party type things because he wanted to get to know her better. I asked her why he couldn't get to know her in the office. She said I was overreacting. Another guy started asking her to go jogging with him, she never went. Still he gives her apples every day, which she takes. He also tries to impress her by writing her some emails.

She continually reassures me and always tells me how much she loves me. I trust her completely, but I just can't settle my mind about why she gets all this attention all the time unless she's somehow sending signals to them... It also seems so disrespectful of her to not be more upfront with these guys to the point where they won't try anything. This sort of thing happens when guys think they have a chance and act on it. Some guys are just real ladiesmen and can impress any woman. I hate knowing that they see her as a potential, and I hate knowing she somehow lets them see it that way.

And now, in her new job, she's been telling me about her new manager, a 31 year old guy (she's 25), handsome, successful, single, cocky. She'll be working in the same ofice as he, and she stays late regularly and she travels with him together across town. Now I really wonder about what sort of working relationship they have...

When i am at work..this guy talks so badly about his wife sometimes and sometimes normal. Then he flirts terribly. But he won't leave her nor do anything to resolve the terrible situation he says he is in with her. What do you think of this?

Hi,
I've been asked to do a reading at my brothers wedding ceremony. I have spent ages deciding what to read and decided upon The Art of a Marraige by Wilferd Patterson.
My problem now is, how do I start the reading?
Do I just go straight into it once I stand up, or give a little introduction.
If you think an introduction would be appropriate, ideas would be appreciated!!
Thanks
