Family & Relationships - 21 August 2007

I'm 24 - living alone and paying my own bills also live faraway from parents. My boyfriend is 35 and he has a 5 yrs old son from his previous relationship.

I love him so much that I want him to be proud of me. But one day, when his son was with him when I was there - I had to sleep on his son's bedroom (not with him), because he uses to sleep with him when he's around and on his son's mind is only both of them - no one else. He didnt even kiss or hug me in front of him made me feel that I've been pushed away.

Then I was at the end of anger when he asked me to sleep on his son's bedroom. Really pissed me off that made me ended up on the couch.

I want him to be proud of me. I want to know how to act maturely and understand his feeling also tolerate his son. But what is an adult? How to act maturely? How to tolerate a 5 yrs old? For me, I think he should learn to sleep on his own bedroom so I can have cuddles at night. Is it selfish?

My mom and I are visiting my Aunt as well as my cousins.Any way today after I had breakfast with just my mom and my aunt I went shopping on my own and then my aunt and my mom went back to my Aunts Apartment at her Assisted Living Place. About a half hour into my shopping my zipper to my purse broke. I went to a store and purchased a new purse (a bigger one to hold everything). This one does not have a zipper but a magnetic snap. Anyway I transferred all my stuff from my old purse into the new one, checked the old one to see if I missed anything and then threw the old one out at the mall when I saw I transferred everything into the new purse.When I came back to the apartment my mom saw my new purse and I told her what happened. When I told her I did not keep the old purse (that I threw it out after transferring everything from the old purse to the new purse) she asked me was I sure I took everything out of the old purse. I told her I did and she asked me three more times was I sure that I did take everything out of the old purse. I then told her that I needed to buy the new one and I asked her what she would have done and she said you know me I would have brought the old purse back to the apartment and checked the old purse a few more times. However, when she said the above to me what went through my mind is that she was implying I should have still used the old one.MY QUESTION: Am I thinking stupidly and how would you have interpreted what my mom said if she said it to you?

MOST guys are better than girls when it comes to approaching and hitting on a desirable stranger. And until a relationship gets underway, guys usually are better at initiating sex. It'll be really nice when ALL girls get to be just as good at these two things as the guys are!

Studies have shown that the female sex drive is JUST as strong as the male one. It'll be great when society in general is clearly able to observe the evidence of it.

(And -- just as girls enjoy getting hit upon, most of the time, guys, too, find it DELIGHTFUL when girls act that same way toward them! **Really** delightful!!)

Back in the BAD ol' days, before the Sex Revolution of the '60s and '70s, much of society moronically criticized sexually-liberated girls and women. But it's the 21st century now, and -- fortunately! -- most such critics these days are very properly regarded to be laughingstocks & busybodies. So why aren't the gals, on average, as likely to be as openly assertive as the guys are?

Me and this girl have been friends since 9th grade, but during the 12th we got really close. She started dating a guy. Everything was good for about the 1st month and half but after that he started treating her like crap. She called me like every other day complaining and asking what should she do. she never took my advice and would just do what i told her she shouldnt. Well she put up with him for about a year. she just recently starts dating this other guy and tells me that after being with him 1 week she wants to sleep with him. I told her she shouldnt because its so early. well today she calls me crying b/c the guy dumped her and she did sleep with him. Now shes asking my what she sould do. I dont know what to tell her anymore. Im really tired of hearing all the complaining and does that make me such a bad friend?......what should i do, or tell her.

If you really look at it you're doing nothing more providing a pleasure that you're able to give one another. Is that really so bad?

I think society makes too big of a deal out of it.

I have a question for you. My mother is overbearing and trying to control me now at the age of 26. She has come to the point where she tells me kids they don't have to listen to me but to her. She answers them when they say mommy. She has also went as far as to go to the school and ask what their visitation policies are during the school day. I wondered if anybody had any advice as to how to deal with her and make her stay away from my kids while they are in school. Also to help her understand they are my kids and she can't just do whatever she wants with them and not ask me.

My exbf and I rekindled our romance just recently after 2 years of not talking to eachother..During this time we were both in relationships. His was more serious than mine..i was just dating around and had a flings..now that we are kind of back together again..i became really jealous to see pictures of him and his exgf on his EXGF's myspace page just now and reading the comments made it worse. Why would she still have pictures of them on her profile? I mean they are no longer together since the beginning of summer.

Well my dad doesnt know if we are gonna move to a new place and that place has a school right next to it. I dont think he can handle all the rent & bills by himself anymore. But I really dont wanna leave. I've tried to call him and message him to his cellphone but hes not answering. He's probably working right now but if I dont go to that registration idk if i can make up. I mean what classes will I have on the first day. Man, Im really scared right now. What should I do?

Would you like to be able to give this type of punishment to your boyfriend to help him behave better and treat you better? I think if girls had this type of control over their boyfriends, guys would treat their girlfriends better, and respect and love them more. Girls, would you like to be able to do this to your boyfriend when it was necessary?

Don't get me wrong- I am looking forward to my wedding and I am having my dream wedding but sometimes it feel like a nightmare.... dealing with my mother-inlaw, my own mother and my fiance's sisters..... plus all the nameless relatives who I have never even met! But sometimes I just think- WOW, maybe I should have taken my money and eloped or bought a vacation home with it instead of this.......
How do you guys feel??

Ok ladies only. Given the following situation how would you react?
Assuming your an adult, your at an modern art gallery and there is a booth with a curtain a sign is attached. It states,"Inside is an average male masturbating. He is behind a two way mirror and so you can see him but he can not see you. You are free to observe as long as you like."

1. Would you go in?
2. Would you stay to see him finish?
3. What about this idea appeals to you or does not appeal to you?

We all know if it was a woman in there just about ever man would go in. I wonder if women have the same sort of sexual curiosity.

(i am knowingly posting this question under several topics to obtain a wide range to answers.)

My husband and myself have been together for almost 10 years and things have been up and down..stressful at times.His family doesnt like me much, so they dont come or call or visit our little girl. And when they did visit they told her mean things about me! That broke her little heart.(by the way shes 5) He never really sticks up for us like he sticks up for them when we argue. He calls me names and my daughter sometimes like brats,bitches,stupid,dumb. I get so mad and we start to argue, he has a bad temper and I tend to always be the one to make things better. He is not putting much of an effort. Also he says he will change and has for the past 2 months but little by little I see him creeping his old habits back into the relationship like the name calling and not spending enough time with us. That was one of our conditions we would try to work on that. I cannot make it by myself he makes 3 times more than I do, my daughter is already having a hard time at school, I am scared to move?

I offered this young lady that I have been dating for a couple of months $250.00 to get her car fix because she does not get paid for another two weeks, and now my boys are clowning me saying that I am sprung, and that no man offers or loans a young lady money unless he cares about her. I do care about about her, but I am not sprung or anything. So what would it mean for you if you offered to loan a young lady $250.00 to get her car fix? Also my sister said, I must be expecting something in return, but we have been dating for a while now, and the relationship is already sexual, so what could I be expecting in return because I don't want her to think that I am expecting something.
