Family & Relationships - 15 August 2007

Do any tricks work for you? My mother is leaving, my dad just lost one of his jobs (so now all we have is 28,000 dollars a year), and we can't afford the rent, so we are moving into a cheaper place. To knock it all off, our car isn't working that well lately (it is old). I would be grateful for any tips that work for you.. Thanks.

I have a female cousin (33 yrs old) visiting from Italy with her dad who is 71 yrs old. Her mom died years ago and now she is the primary caretaker for her dad who has several medical issues. She does EVERYTHING for him. As a result she has no time for herself. She only works and takes care of him.

She looks sad all the time. Her eyes are blank and without much expression. She has low self esteem as evidenced by her comments about herself like, "I'm fat and ugly, I will never get married, nobody wants me."

She confided that she's been depressed for many years and once attempted suicide. She's only in the states for 2 weeks. What can we, as her cousins, do for her? Should we try to convince her that although its honorable she's taking care of her dad that she should also take care of herself? What can we do? What options does she have?

I have a wonderful boyfriend and I love him very much (our plan is to get married in a year to two years). We have a great sex life, but he's too rough with me during foreplay. He bites too hard on my breasts and upper chest area before we have sex. It leaves bruises and teeth marks- not just normal hickies, but actual bruises. It hurts when he does it and then my breasts are sore the next day. I have told him to be more gentle and "no biting," but he only "behaves" for a little while and then he gets rough again. He sees the bruises, so he knows what he does. I have told him not to bite, but I think it gets him turned on when he does it. Don't get me wrong- I like it a little rough sometimes, but not all the time with the bruises to show for it. Is there a nice way to approach this without hurting his feelings? Please answer seriously. I love him, and there's no way I'm breaking up with him over this- this aspect just needs to be fixed. Thank you!

My husband has been married before and experienced a lot of selfish women in his life so he says. I'm really cool, I allow him to ride his motorcycle, he invites his sons to visit and I have a great time entertaining them. my only problem is, he doesn't spend enough time with me. I get tired of it and I've told him time and time again. what do you think would happen if left?

My husband has a pacemaker, and is not allowed to have sex, because of the risks. I'm 55 and still want to have a sex life. What do I do? I know that basing a marriage around having sex is probably wrong, but we all have our needs in life.

I'm not really wild, or a rebel, per se, but I do like to stand out from the crowd, (I do but not like I’M A PARTY AND I’M HIGH SO EYES ON ME! WAYYYY LESS THAT) and I love being the center of attention. (NOT like LOOK OVER HERE CUZ I'M PRETTY OR WILLING TO SLEEP WITH SOMEONE TO BE KNOWN-not mentioning names-*cough cough*- Something WAY less than that) That, plus my great sense of humor, makes me a quality addition to anyone's buddy list. Oh, and did I mention? I'm pretty kind-hearted. Of course, it doesn't hurt to take things seriously sometimes. Like, for instance, my feelings. I can true to myself and try not to be afraid to make myself vulnerable. It's scary sometimes, but it makes me a stronger person. I have a kind heart and an unusual empathy for all living creatures. I tend to absorb others' happiness and pain. Even though I have a really hard time on wanting to show it, there are very little people who know this and I get compliments that people envy my compassion, and more imp

Honestly??

I am leaving my job of the past 2.5 years in less then 2 weeks , I've been rather tight lipped about it, telling only my 2 closest friends here, it has slowly disseminated.

I am getting a sense that the "others" want to throw me a going away luncheon. I'm not really for this, it's not that i have any social anxiety, I've had going away luncheon's before at other companies where I welcomed the opportunity.

The fact of the matter is that I just don't like the attention where it's unwarranted. I came to this job not putting my heart into it, because i only came here to be closer to my gf at the time. I didn't put my all into my work, and i didn't really give a damn. I don't have any anomosity towards my colleagues, i'm just not that close to them and don't feel like a going away lunch would be all that... peachy?

How do i get out of this without looking like i'm say "screw you" to them? or should i just man-up and go through with it?

She expects my husband to phone her everyday. He phones her twice a day js to please her and always has to listens to her complaints, of her being upset over the slightest things etc. She wants to hv a say in our lives and expects us to put her and her husband on top of our list. She is never satisfied with anything we do for her.

Can anyone share with me your experience how to deal with such difficult MIL? Any advice is appreciated.

I've been reading a lot on various sights about how interracial relationships can't work and how the children in interracial relationships struggle with their identites. I think that's BS!!! My fiance` and I are of different ethnicities and have no significant problems or differing opinions. We've come from different backgrounds, she is fairly wealthy and I've grown up poor most of my life, yet we are in perfect harmony. It is both foolish and ignorate to say that a marriage can't work because of race, it won't work because of the reasons any marriage won't work. And as far as kids go, kids with both parents the same race struggle with identity crisis, too, most teens do. You're identity does not have to be defined by your race, it was something that I struggled with in High School. Being an African-American, I was expected to wear baggie pants, and use slang terms and foul language , and play sports. But I didn't, I refused to be a stereotype. My race did not define me, I define me!!!

I have proposed to my husband that I would like for him to have sex outside of our marriage. I have a high level of trust in our relationship and am not worried about him leaving. It really excites me to be able to let him do that and for us to talk about it. He is totally into it and wants me to have the same experience. Just talking about it has made our sex life even more amazing and the excitement has filled a void that I have had for some time. We have discussed different scenarios and rules so I feel like we know what we are getting into.

I will never have sex unless i commit with him to having a very serious, long-term relationship. I don't have sex with a person with whom i just want to have a good time (i.e. short relationship or even casual sex).

Is this the reason why I am finding it almost impossible to get a boyfriend?

I love my husband very much, and there are days where I don't want to let go of him. Times where I want to be with him 24/7.

But then there are days...like today... where I don't want him to even touch me. The smallest things will annoy the crap out of me.

We have been together for many years, but only married for 2. My sex drive has gone down, and I don't know what the heck is going on with me.

Is it hormones? Do I love him but, not IN love with him anymore?

What's going on?

Does anyone else have this problem? Is there anyway to fix this?

Any constructive advise would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks
