Family & Relationships - 28 August 2007

Okay so me personally, I'm tired of the typical and over-used stuff when it comes to dating. I like to make a good impression on first meetings and I've done a lot of stuff differently when it came to the first date. I even took a girl out for painball once!
That rawked.
Now though I seem to be running out of ideas.
What would you suggest as a day 1, other than the standard "care to join me for a coffee?"

In a very successfull marriage, 3 kids, great job, great friends, money in the bank, strong love between the both of us.... lots of hugging, kissing, sez blah blah. Ever since I had some friends come in I haven't seen in 15 years I have felt like I have reverted back to the way I was 15 years ago, very insecure..... This is not how I have been at all in the last few years, but now insecurity has readred its ugly head. On top of that, my wife is back to a personal trainer and looking good, my 1st born is going into 3 day a week full day pre school. My 2nd born was just diagnosed with autism so he will be heading into a 5 day a week all day pre school program.

On top of that my wife has been seeing a shrink and her self esteem has gone way up. All of the sudden I am feeling not as important to her, and feeling insecure. Last night I told her and now I think she sees me as weak.

What can I do to get out of this funk? How does she view me now?

There is a guy who has just started at work, and I cannot work out whether he is being friendly, or is interested?

He sends me emails, which seem to be kind of flirty, but when i see him never says much to me, and he is not particulary shy either.

Am I reading too much into it? x

Why is it when women are young, they tend to be attracted to the effeminate "pretty boys" like Zac Effron and Jesse McCartney, but when they get older, their taste changes to older , "more "rugged", less "girly-looking" men like George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Harrison Ford (who is pushing 70). Why this change in taste and what causes it?

My friend died of suicide yesterday morning and I want to write a poem for her to read at her wake about the beautiful person she was and how her friendship meant everything to me.
Ive kind of started it:
To you my friend
Where do I begin?
I dont want to say goodbye
All I do is cry

And thats all I have, if it sounds crap or if you want to add to it please can you help me. I would never write this as my own work as it wasnt and I wouldnt take the credit for it.

Thankyou for your help everyone. If you have lost a friend through suicide then you must know how hard this time is for her friends and family as we didnt understand her pain or see this coming. Maybe you could add that in the poem.

Thankyou everyone for your help!!

I’m 50, she 44, at first (for 6mths or so) we would do it every night or so. She was so HOT I mean really Crave this between us. At some point around a year she told me " this will slow down because we had no partners for 5 yrs and we "both" craved it because of the drought, 2 years later we now do it once every 2- 3 months, Well I crave it the same as before with her, I love everything about her and love doing all things together with her, Especially this very personal thing. I really dig her, Iv told how I feel, She’s said she on a skin med that causes low libido but sounds like a excuse, I’m really not pressuring her but I still want to be close in this way, Iv had this talk (about doing it more often) many times, Sometimes I said it perfectly sometimes not, after going to sleep for the 300th time in a sweat, well Its a problem. Today I overheard someone say "no need to bait the hook, fish is in the boat" is that what this is? Someone help me understand this, am i wrong?

my son has decided not to go into higher education but instead to work for a year then join the army/marines when he is 17yrs. he earns £55 a day and works 5 days a week. we think we should ask him for a contribution as he has decided to join in the big wide world and needs to understand the responsibilties that comes with it.Any suggestions would be appreciated.

do you find it strange when a group of students who regularly take the same bus and dun noe each other..... stare at each other without uttering a word?

This question is directed to the guys, though girls' responses are also appreciated. Whenever my crush notices me looking at him, he looks away. This happens about once or twice a day in a 40-min. period. We don't really know each other, but see each other in the halls often. Could it be because he likes me too, and is nervous, or is it more likely that he looks away because he's weirded out?

Why does regretion hurt so much? How can someon that was so into you suddenly change his mind in hours, keep you waiting a week before telling you not to call.

I want to SCREAM what did I do, talk to me. But I haven't heard his voice in 9 days when he left my apartment with me one Monday morning.

Do you think that sometimes a marriage is really over even when you dont want it to be. My marriage is struggling at the moment and i am not sure it can be fixed. I have been with my husband for 17 years and we have two kids. We have had our ups and downs like everyone else but got through. My husband has always suffered with bouts of depression when he can be unreasonable and very difficult to live with but i have bit my lip until they have passed as i love him. Over perhaps the last 6 months he has been going through what i can only describe as a mid life crisis, with a 'Is this all life has to offer attitude'. He is rarely happy, everything i or our kids do seems to irritate him and i feel like he would be better giving me a script to work from each day so i dont say the wrong thing! He hates his job and the rat race and feels stilted by conformity. Plays in a band, seems to be the only thing that makes him smile. We shuffle along, thankful for the peaceful times

my friend has been seing a man for while now. he's still married but has been saperated for awhile now. he told her that he already started to file for a divorce. after a while he told her that everything in on hold and they can't file for anything because his wife refuses to sign the summons. now i didn't believe that was possible and i told her that in that case it would be even easier for him to get a divorce since she won't even be in court. but she doesn't beleive me. and think the guy is just playing with her.
so i would like to know if you guys have any info about this.

A co-worker told me today she is scared of her husband. Yesterday, He was supposed to pick her up after work, but never showed up. Our boss had to take her home. Her husband went ot and started yelling at her and our boss. Today she was going to take the car to work so she could have a way home. But he came after her and pushed her down and took the keys from her. Then he kicked gravel at her and called her names. Later her husbands dad called her and to her he was drunk at there house.

She does not have acess to the internet. She asked me to get her some phone numers for help hotlines. I don't know where to look. can someone help me find some for her?

Tonight she is staying with another co-worker.

I'm asking this question regarding a very close friend of mine. She likes the guy she is with who treats her much better than her ex and she knows he loves her, but she doesn't feel the same kind of love for him. She thinks it may be partly because she's still getting over her ex (they broke up 2 years ago). Will she love him eventually? She wants to break up and give it a shot with other men, but doesn't know if its the right decision because the guy is really good to her.
