Family & Relationships - 28 August 2007

He's been dating his gf for about 3 years and they own a house together. My intentions nor his were to fall in love with each other, but it just sort of happened. We have a great relationship, have open conversations and thoroughly enjoy each other's company. But, he's still in his old relationship and feels like he can't get out until he sells the house. We've finally decided to take a step back, just be friends until he can work thru the situation and then see what happens between the two of us. I am in love with him and I foresee a wonderful future with him...and he feels the same. My question is, how long should I wait for this guy and should I be dating while I'm waiting?

Okay have 2 internet dates set up.One is for tuesday and one is for Wednesday.Why are they asking me for during the week.Is it because they have other dates lined up on the weekend? I know you have no way of telling me either but what is your opinion? One is a young doctor 10 years younger than me he is 36 and lives an hour away.The other only lives about 20 minutes away and I am meeting him at a expensive restaurant. that he suggested.Maybe I am making more of a deal than it needs to be.

Should I be concerned? I keep returning to the thought, why does he choose people like this to be in his life? I have always believed who we pick as our friends reflect who we are. One of them cheats on his pregnant girlfriend (they all cheat regularly but this particular one has a pregnant girlfriend and continues to cheat). They abuse not just cocaine but prescription drugs as well. He doesn’t see anything wrong with having these people close to him – in fact he calls them “good people.” These are the people he trusts with his ATM pin. He feels they are good friends because they have been in the past when he has gone through stuff. I look around at my friends and they are all emotionally healthy moral people who use do drugs – they reflect who I am.

I would never ask him not to hang out with them – that’s not the issue (although I cant say I wouldn’t be happy if he traded up). My questions is, should I be concerned that these are the choices he makes in picking friends?

I'm getting married in June and most of the weddings I've been to have done the dollar dance. My future sister in law said that she wishes she did it at their wedding for honeymoon spending money, but my future mother in law thinks its trashy. I just want to know what the general public thought!

I just started dating this guy a couple months ago. When we met there was this instant spark.He has called me everyday since(we live in different provinces)and we talk on the phone for hours each night.I am going to visit him in a week, but the distance thing is starting to take a toll on the relationship. We are starting to mildly argue about petty little things. He said last night that he really wants this to work and the only way to make it work is if he moves here.He kept telling me that he wants me to know hes thinking about the moving thing, but b/c of the fact that he has to make a decision quickly (b/c of school) he feels bombarded. He said hes 99% sure he wants to move here, he just wants to make sure its the right decision. I got kinda angry with him last week b/c hes didnt call me until 2:00am(petty Sh*t) and i felt bad so i apologized. He said thats the only thing that worries him, that if he moves out here we'll argue about stupid sh*t. What do u think about this??HELP!

I was schocked b/c it was the first time it happened. My son had an attitude about something and raised his hand at his father and then hit him in the stomach. Ofcourse my son is only 7 and should still know better but my husband smacked him on the back of his head. I'm sure it hurt my son who dramatically threw himself on the floor afterwards. My son was hurt emotionally too that his dad would do that. I told my son to never raise his hand at his parents and he had to respect his dad (could you believe I said that!! I was ready to kill my husband for doing that but I still wanted to teach my boy not to disrespect him). I told him to NEVER touch his neck area or face!! He was very sullen and told me (that night) that he felt horrible and that it ruined his whole day (he slept the whole day). What would you guys do b/c I'm in hysterics thinking about this situation. It was like a firm smack (not a full force....) on the back of his neck..and it made me maaaaad! thanks

I want to do something special for my husband tonight. He has been having a ruff time at work because work is slow and he hasn't been sleeping much due to the fact that we have a one week old baby.
I would like to make something special for him for dinner when he gets home tonight. Any suggestions on a menu?

I've told them time and time again that I'm single because I choose to be. What's the big deal about being in a relationship..... I don't have the time nor the career to be involved with anyone and I'm happy. So why can't they just accept that fact? Are women really that needy?

my boyfriend and i have been together for 8 months. we're both 19 and sophomores in college. he goes to a community college but is planning on transferring to my university next year. we are very serious about each other and we have talked about marriage a lot. i told him that if we do get engaged i would want it to be done once we graduate, but he wants to get engaged once he transfers. although we have a very good relationship and our families like us and everything, isn't dating for less than 2 years before getting engaged really risky? how do i make him understand? i've tried to explain that it's just better to wait but he doesn't agree.

Personally, I just need a little time and space. And when people try to invade that little time and space I need I tend to snap. I'd rather to wait until my anger subsides and I can speak rationally again.

My mother and father in law have moved in with me and my family and she likes to put her nose where it doesn't belong. I've managed on my own since I was 16 and I think I've done pretty damn well for myself considering. How is she going to tell me how to live when she is living in my house? She apologizes but doesn't she understand my emotions are not on her time schedule? Am I being irrational?

As a single parent, I have been giving her ultimatums for a few weeks, that if she doesn't at least APPLY for jobs and/or schools, she needs to get out. She's even been disrespectful to the point of laughing at me for being financially responsible for her while she doesn't even say "thank you" for anything. She just sits at home, watches TV, surfs the internet, stack the dishwasher, and occasionally walk the dogs. What do you think I should do?

I'm recovering from an eating disorder. but by myself. I don't want to tell anyone in my family, they would get angry, or start judging me. This may sound stupid, but I know I have a problem, and I am willing to change that, but I really don't want to share it with anyone. None of my friends would understand, they would be worried all the time, and look at me anxiously whenever I had food. I was wondering if anyone knew a website, or something like that, that i could use for support. If anyone here is recovering from an eating disorder, do they have any advice?

I got into deep conversations with this guy and he said the following things (he told me if I ever told anyone he'd be so mad at me but I have to know):

1. I'm afraid I'm going to get attached to you as more than a friend.

2. I'm afraid I'm falling in love with you. I can't do that.

3. I don't want to open up to you. If I don't close myself off completely to you you're that girl I'll tell everything to and regret it later.

4. I can't have feelings for you. I just can't.

5. I don't like how I feel about you right now. It must be wishful thinking because there is no way logically speaking that I can feel this way in this little time.

6. I'm afraid if I take a chance with you one of us will get hurt, but I'm also afraid if I pass it up I'll be making the biggest mistake of my life.

7. This can't go anywhere. I won't let it.




I really care about this guy, pleaz give me advice on how to handle him.

In And Out The House

2007-08-28 04:39:03 · 27 answers · asked by Anonymous in Singles & Dating

My aunt recently passed away. Since before she was even sick, due to a lack of space at their house, I have been babysitting a couple pieces of antique furniture that she inherited from her aunt. Her husband approached me yesterday and told me to "make me an offer, whatever you think is fair" to be able to keep them. I like the pieces, they are from my family, and my mother and I don't think we should have to pay for them. But, by default, they are now technically his. I would be willing to give them up to another member of the family if they were interested, but I suspect that if I don't buy them, he will sell them on ebay or to a dealer or something.

Is it right that I should have to pay to keep a family heirloom?
