Family & Relationships - 13 September 2007

When i first heard about missing maddie, i was 100% sure it was the parents, to me they seemed quite calm and hardly the parents of an abducted child, far from it.
As things have progressed with the case im not that 100% sure they did actually do it.
I think they are being framed by the portugeese law, something is not right, i could be wrong and so could thousands of people. The news are saying they think it was an accident with sleeping tablets so why would blood be found, now her diary has leeked to the press saying that her kids exhaust her, well im a parent of 2 young children and they exhaust me but im not going to kill them because im tired of them, i think they are at fault for leaving their kids on their own in a strange place, but im not sure about what has happened now.
I think there has been so much hype about it and its gone world wide, the portugeese police are at fault and are panicking about something.
Tell me your thoughts.

So, I went out with this guy tonight. So, cute and sweet. He met my parents before we went out and they said they loved him so that's a plus. I don't know though, I kind of ended the night with an embarrassing hug. I didn't want to kiss him ,well I do, but I would like to wait till the second date or third. To make sure I like him. Anyways, so, my hands were full, so I kind of gave him a awkward, butt out, half a hug. Kind of rested my head briefly on his shoulder and then let go and he said he would call me tomorrow. I feel really embarrassed though. I can't believe I did that and I can't stop thinking about how embarrassing and dorky I was. So, what do yall think? Do you think he noticed? Think it was a turn-off for him?

There's this girl I like and I have told her how I felt last year, but she said she just wanna be friends. However, as time goes I feel that some things have changed, and she sometimes shows some interests. But yesterday, for the first time in few months, I saw her talking to this boy who likes her too! They were talking about a bowling plan, and they seemed to talk more than usual (they also talk like five months ago but it ceased). That guy and his pals ask her and pals on a bowling plan, but the first time they declined. The second is cancelled due to a clashing schedule though. She seems to talk to him more though, but she also tries to evade him sometimes and I don't think she makes any attempt to be with him. I'm a more shy person and hence I can barely start conversation, although sometimes she would teases me, but today we were having a group dinner, and I seem to be more quiet (also due to the shock yesterday) and she rather grumbles asking more people to speak more. She also teases me and laughs at the comments that my friends made about me. And she also talks to her friend about me (one of her friends is really angry with me, I don't know why), I think it's like asking her to forgive. But I DIDN'T start a conversation, although a couple of times she show some interests, like teasing me and helping me a lot.

And now I'm thinking of 'asking her out' by texting like, "Hey, let's watch ... movie some day..." and see what goes on. Would it work? Is it too late? But looking at her talking to him and his friends about the bowling plan - somehow it rather stops me from chasing her? It seems that she talks to him more and more interested - but she doesn't seem to want to spend more time with him! But, besides the moment when he starts a conversation, she doesn't seem interested in him. Does she like him or a 'just friends'?

I have an idea about moving out there. I grew up in the Ozarks all my life, where people are so nice it bothers some people. I love the atmosphere here, but in order to better myself academically, I feel I need to move on.

So are people out there friendly? If I'm getting petrol at the gas station and am waiting in line, are people going to freak out at me if I start talking to them?

I love the social aspect of where I am, but I get this feeling the rest of America doesn't operate like this (at least its not on TV).

If anyone who lives out that way (bonus if you've lived in the south before) can tell me what I would expect, I would be very happy.

I tend to attract them at my work (which is, at a bank). But I am very aware of their status and don't flirt with them. I am in my twenties and look younger than my age (baby-faced to say the least). I am not interested in dating them at all! One of them even asked me for my phone number (which I refused to give him), and after he realized I found out he was married, he began to act angrily everytime he came into the bank, even sitting down at an empty employee's desk before getting up and storming out. Does being vulnerable-looking attract these types?

My husband didn't trust me when we got married b/c his first wife cheated on him. He made me sign a prenuptial and he told me repeatedly throughout the marriage that I was going to have to suffer for the rest of my marriage with him b/c of what his first wife did to him. He was very selfish with me, he bought his groceries and I bought mine. He got more and more distant to me. The last three years we stopped sleeping together. I was out of work for a while and he put so much pressure on me that I went out of town to live with my children to find work. When I found work, my boss and I fell in love immediately. I never in my entire life have had such a strong love and attraction for anyone. He says the same about me. But for some reason, sometimes I so wish that I could be in love with my husband. I do love him as a person. He has made strong effort to make things right. He burned the prenup and he signed a notarized statement voiding it. I have tried for the past 3 yrs to love him again

I don't get what is going on! My boyfriend of 6 months did me wrong last weekend. He said he would call me and didn't. I called him and tried to make plans for the next day and he never answered my text until the next night when he wanted to hang out. But because my reply wasn't prompt he said "maybe next week." I was mad but didnt say anything. I was trying to figure out how I was going to handle it. Then Monday at work he shows up sick. I was already mad so I wasn't very nice to him. I wasn't really mean, either. He went home sick and I haven't heard from him until about 30 mins ago. I sent a text at 9 to ask if he was better and at 1:30 he says he's better, thanks for asking.

What is the deal? Is he done with me or what? I feel so hurt by him. I've put so much effort into our relationship and he treats me life this? I don't know what to do. Any help???

I am a step mom to 3 children. A girl age 12 and two boys (10 and 8.) Biological mom disappeared 2 1/2 years ago after my husband took custody of them. For 2 years she did not even see them. She finally picked up again legally in January of this year although (as the last 2 1/2 years have been) she has financially abandoned them. My husband and I still help mom out by helping with transportation for visits since she lives 3 hours away. She sees them one weekend every 2 weeks. The rest of the time I am their primary care taker since their Dad works full time. Usually things are great. We all have a great relationship and have lots of fun together. I have 2 sons of my own as well and we have really all come together. But their biological mom calls 2 or 3 times a week and for the rest of the night my step kids ignore me and act angry with me. This woman is horribly jealous of me and is intent on knocking me down to them. What would you do when this starts? Anything? Or nothing?

ok, like I said I knew he didn't want to be in a relationship but he treated me like his girlfriend. He would invite me over for dinner, I met his moms side of the family, he would hold my hand and kiss me in front of his parents and would invite me to baseball games with him and his family...anyway I figured he changed his mind and realized that he wanted to be with me. But then he all of a sudden changed his mind and only called me periodically a few times a week and stopped inviting me over. He said he wanted to take things slow and stuff...after I thought it was over for good after not hearing from him in 2 weeks and not seeing him for a month he calls me tonight and leaves me a message about missing me and that he's been thinking of me all week and his phone getting disconnected. I just want to know why he's back. I wasn't being clingy, I just feel like he led me to believe that the relationship was more than it was. what should I do now?

Currently at the job I am at I can barely afford a car. But I want to pay off my debts 100% and get my next raise before I buy a car. So for about 6 months I will ride the bus to work. The bus to work doesn't bother me, and it is a minor inconvience not to drive around myself because my friends have cars.

But dating is another situation. I can't do much exciting on dates because I am taking taxis to get around, and long trips are impossible. I could date someone with a car, but I like to drive as the man.

This question is for women, would you work around your boyfriend being car-less, or am I just too much of a loser?

You may not know me but I know everything about you. I know when you sit down and when you rise up. I am familiar with all your ways. Even the very hairs on your head are numbered. For you remain in my image. In me you live and move and have your being. For you are my offspring. I knew you even before you were conceived. I chose you my plan creation. You were not a mistake. For all your days are written in my book. I determine the exact time of your birth and where you would leave. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. I made you together in mother’s womb and brought you frought the day you were born. I have been misrepresented by those who don’t know me. I am not distant and angry but I’m complete expression of love and it is my desire to lavish my love on you simply because you are my child and I am your father. I offer you more then your earthly father has ever done. for I am the perfect father.His death was the ultimate expression of my love for you.

It hurts!! He said he loved me. One day it happened after only a few weeks of dating him. When I was sitting right there, he stared at a pretty blonde in the sunlight the same way he stared at me the first time he saw me. He stared at other girls all the time. One time at the mall, I noticed a girl walking by who looked flattered and was smiling at him because he was looking PAST me and watching her!!! Men with chivalry and women who don't tolerate this, please comment!! I need to remind myself why I broke up with him...
