My fiance and i have not been on vacation (not even a little 2 day one!) in three years (the last time we were is when we got engaged!).

We did not plan on taking any vacations either (only $2,500 worth of debt to go Horray!) But his mom offered to invite us to Canada. At first we declined because we are looking to save our money, then she offered an all expense paid vacation because she said 'she knows how hard we've been working and just wanted to get away with us'

The trip was 10 days long. All we had to pay for was gas to and from the US, and we stayed at the moms boyfriends house so we did not need a hotel. We brought $250 with us, in case of an emergency (car breaking down, illness, etc)

Ahead of time, we were told that tickets to an amusement park, the CN tower, Zoo & other attractions were paid for, which was part of the aggreement. Going out to eat was also going to be covered. (Yes, her boyfriend has a very good job lol)

All in all, it was a disaster. Heres why

My sister and I have always had problems. We bickered constantly growing up, but as we got older, it got much better. I'm 25, my sister is 27. Back in June, this started because we had family visiting and she wanted us to change dinner plans so her husband could come. (she called late in the day and we wouldn't have made it in time; she had known about dinner for a week and waited until 3 hrs prior to call). She didn't speak to me for a month. We started speaking again on her bday in July. We went out and my Mom and BF were teasing her about her bachelorette party, because it took place in the same bar. She cursed me out because she thought I brought it up - I didn't. Her friends came up to me to console me and I vented to them about how rude she was. I've tried reaching out to her and she won't respond. I admitted to her I shouldn't have vented to her friends, but said that if she wants an apology, I deserve one too.

I don't know what else I can do. Its been a month. Anyone?

I dont know how this works...I have only been w/ one guy seriosuly,my whole life, before my fiance I am with now... Me and that other guy waited 2 and 1/2 years to have sex, and he was my first. we did it 2 times. i was 18 then.I am now 21 and I am happier than ever,and my fiance is 23. He has been with 3 other people, had sex with them each about 5 or 6 times a piece he said, but I am just so hurt, and I think its so unfair he doesnt have to worry about a sexual past w/ me and worry about me thinkin about it or comparing him to past men. i know he hasnt "done" anything to me, but his past has hurt me. i dont know how to handle it, i dont want to be compared. yes, they had bigger boobs, yes, they had brown hair, i have blonde.they had different qualities than i do.he says i am gorgeous,&that they were trash all the time.i just dont want him to ever miss anything, mainly physically, that any of them have that i dont now?i just want to feel special sexually w/ him, and i dont b/c of them

Okay heres the deal.I broke up with my boyfriend because i'm moving soon and we both can't do a long distance relationship also his mom hates me and won't let me see him and he says if he's seen with me at school the teachers will tell his mom and then he would get in trouble so we broke up.The next day our friend Geri said he liked me and wanted to be with me so I said yeah then Brad (my ex) said I was a whore for dating his best friend even thogh he was my friend too.We were broken up so who's in the wrong?Me or him?The best answer gets 10 points.

He was there when I got it and never said a word until we got home. Now he keeps complaining about it. We have agreed to get it covered with something else when it heals and have agreed on what to cover it up with. Now, I find out that he keeps telling his friends and co-workers how much he hates it! His friend approached me the other day and begged me to show him it, telling me all about my husband making fun of me, I was so embarassed! What should I say to hubby to make him stop???

my girlfriend was pretty much "gone" and she told me a lot of things, good and some bad about our relationship, which i dont quite know if she would have told me had she not been drinking. my question is: is she most likely telling the truth, she doesnt remember saying anything because she was soooo trashed

It's been a week since my boyfriend has come home. He's been gone on vacation all summer with his family to visit his home town. We've spent pretty much everyday of the week together and they've all been wonderful. Wel..yesterday we were just layin there and I told him that a friend at work mentioned the term "absense makes the heart grow fonder" and that I thought about it and it really is true. And I explained to him thats its not that I love him more or less when he left but going through what it was like without him I now feel like I should stop taking things for granted like I did before. (Meaning spending less time being happy with him.) And that I wanted to be with him all the time. I asked him if he felt the same and he said no.that he always wanted to be with me and that he feels the exact same for me as he did before he left. Then he just wasnt acting the same the rest of the night and drove me home in silence. Did I say something wrong? Help.

My husband feels this is just revenge- so what, I say. Why should she get off scott free? I guess they should have thought of the consequences before they slept together.

I'm getting a little better with verbal confrontation however I still feel more comfortable saying what I need to in written form. My Mom and I live in different provinces and a couple nights ago we had some words over the phone. There's so much I need to get out that I'm afraid if I try and talk to her over the phone again I will not say everything or she will interupt. I really need her to hear my side.

I have thought about snail mail but I would really like this resolved as soon as possible and a letter could take up to a week for her to receive. Is e-mail okay or should I just suck it up and call her?

Okay, ever since we have been together he has told me that I am nothing less than the most gorgeous thing to him. We love each other more than anything, and are now engaged. He loves me for who I am. I know this might sound stupid, but do guys lie about saying stuff like " oh , your boobs are perfect" or " your so and so " or your so amazing in bed..." i mean no matter how much a man loves a woman, wife or g/f, do they lie to their woman to make them feel good, or for any other reasons? i want to know 100% that he means everything he says... i mean if he says " your boobs are perfect" i want it to be the truth about the size/shape and all!and if he says " your sexy" i want it to be the truth done to the smallest detail! no lies? im not a insecure PERSON! i just wanted to know if men do this....

My parents are political asylees - the came to the United States when I was ten - I'm a US citizen... Seven years after we have been in the US I went back to see my family back home in the middle east (I was 17)... well... lets just say that I was not what they expected and they were not what I expected...

I was more of a guest - a temporary inconvenience that they had to deal with till I left (I was hurt when I heard this - I overheard them talking) - but now... another 3 years later I don't feel that they are my family anymore...

It has been 10 years... is it right of me to just let them go and forget about them?

Who else is sick of having their relationships on their partner's terms, and not theirs? I am so tired of it - it is what, when, how, and where HE wants - why can't it be my turn?

I don't know what to do anymore. He is a really great guy 80% of the time - everything I could want in a partner. Then, he will turn around and be completely inconsiderate, even rude to me - wanting everything his way - and not caring how I feel about it. It is good to have your needs met, but it seems like his needs are the only ones he considers - not mine, at all.

I don't know what to do - I do want to be with him, but how do I make these terms more equitable? How can I stand up for and get what I want out of this?

Here is a more concrete example. We spent the night Fri. and day through early evening together on Sat. He was awesome - absolutely great. Sat. night he went to a party (guys only) at his friend's house, and was supposed to call me on Sun. to get together Sun. evening.

My parents have been talking about celebrating Christmas in the mountains since I was little (we've never seen snow on Christmas; we live in Georgia) and they're finally going to do it this year because my younger brother no longer believes in Santa. The only thing about that is, I'm now grown and live with my boyfriend who wouldn't be able to join us because he's going to be working on Christmas Eve and Day (something he can't, and doesn't want, to get out of because of the EXTRA pay he'll be getting). My parents will be paying for everything (except gas) as a gift to us and I REALLY want to go. However, if I go I won't be able to spend the holiday with my boyfriend who I love very, very much. But if I don't, it'll be the first time I didn't spend Christmas with my family and I don't want to have to cross that inevitable bridge until I get there if you know what I mean. Obviously, I'm in a HUGE pickle and have no idea how to get out of it.
What would you do in my situation?

Do you think you should call it quits if your significant other doesn't propose after you have been dating for a while? How long would you wait for a proposal before you move on? Does it depend on the person?

The brothel would be Nevada’s first legal bordello catering exclusively to female customers. It still needs approval from the Nye County Liquor and Licensing Board, and Fleiss said she plans to submit an application within the next three months.

“I have at least 400 women who are ready to buy a membership,” and men applying for jobs. One scenario I am considering is combining the brothel and a male stip club in one establishment", Fleiss said. "I plan on conducting a survey of women's interests in the interim".

What do you think of the planned brothel? Would you visit? Do you think it will be successful? Why or why not?

What do you think of her possibly including a male strip club adjoining the brothel? Would you visit both?

I had a huge fight yesterday with my dad because I feel that he's being ridiculously overprotective of my 17 year old sister. She's interested in a 19 year old guy who my dad says is too old for her, and because I didn't tell her not to even think about seeing this guy (instead I encouraged it because to me two years is no big deal), my dad's decided I'm a bad influence on my sister. My dad refuses to even consider any point of view other than his own, and I'm afraid that instead of keeping my sister emotionally and physically safe, his overprotectiveness will leave her vulnerable when she goes to college next year. He also said that he doesn't want my sister to end up like me because when I was 19, I married the wrong man, and my dad didn't speak to me for two years. I've since fixed my life and it's really good now. I don't want to make up with him because then he'll think he can make all the decisions forever, and I have other younger sisters, too. Am I being unreasonable?
