why is it that most christians say things from the bible like they're facts, I mean kids nowadays say "jesus was the son of god" like the say "2+2=4" its annoying and no ones stops them because everyone else in the room is Christian as well. If I were to go around school talking about Allah or mecca, I would get jumped Immediatly, I just want to know why a lot of Christians are so smug? Why is it that out of the hundreds of religions in the world theirs just happens to be the right one? It is one thing to feel strongly about your religion but to denounce others? that's just wrong

I am so embarassed. I went up to a guy named Tavin and asked himwhere his friend Mason (Guy I like) was. He said he didn't know. A couple minutes later, he dragged Mason to me! I didn't know what to do, so I randomly asked for his e-mail adress. He said he didn't want to give it out. Then he asked if I had one. I said yeah, doesn't every girl? He said what is it? I said it was long, and he said, I'll remember it. So i told him. and then he said bye and walked away. Why wouldn't he tell me his e-mail!? And is it good that he asked for mine...will he really remember it or just say he did?

A 44yr old man 'married' to a beautiful 24 yr old woman. Have been together for 6 1/2 years with 3 beautiful children, all girls age 8, 6 and 2 1/2.
Nice Home, happy healthy relationship apparently and great sex life ;) .

Man cheats on his 'yummy mummy' who loves him more than anything. Why?

Man says he loves his wife and Only his wife and denies the affair to an extreme. He is cheating on her...proven fact

Why do you suppose he's maintaining the affair with the girl on the side?? And~ how can I gain back his full attention?

I love him a lot and don't plan on separating from him. I know he loves me deeply as well. He treats me like a queen, except for the cheating (which he denies and hides it very well from me) Should I ignore it.. I don't want to.

My ex and I had a misunderstanding 1 1/2 years ago. He had a problem with communication; would feel I was pursuing him to try and push him when I was just trying to talk so we could make well-informed decisions. I was good at this, and we were very happy. One day, though, I lost my job and I was not on top of things. He thought I broke up with him. It was too complicated to deal with at the time, and I let it go. He got together w/ a rebound person and I was hurt, and then, I think he thought I was just trying to either make him be with me against his will or keep him as some play –boy, but I really don’t know, because he was never even willing to admit he had lost trust in me, and I was too stressed about my job situation to be able to do serious relationship repair. For a long time, I thought he really hadn’t been in love with me in the first place, but as time passed and we had some exchanges, I gradually figured out that he feels very overwhelmed by his feelings for me and is for that reason somewhat afraid of me. Now, I am coming back to the other side of the country for my best friend’s wedding, and he is, for whatever reason, going. He’s not even that good of a friend with my best friend, I’m pretty sure it is me he wants to see. But, he has been with a new girlfriend for 4 months. In the past two weeks, we started talking and explaining some of his actions in a different light for the first time. Last Thursday, I got a text from him saying, “Do you want to tell me why I should trust you again?” I texted him back once, but I haven’t heard from him. I don’t want to seem pushy, so I texted him a second time saying I wanted to talk, but I would wait for him to call. But, he has not called. The wedding is next weekend. There are many things I could explain to him that would probably make things better, but I think we really need to talk, because I don’t know exactly where to begin. Should I chill or write him an email?

Most of us would say that honesty and trust are the keys to any successful relationship. Keeping secrets from our partners can lead to trouble, but some experts say it can also be the secret to our success.

So when it comes to relationships, it is OK to keep a couple of secrets?

My boyfriend is really rude to me sometimes. Recently, for example, we were talking about this really cool animal store in the area, which he has never been to, and we agree we'd go there sometime together, since we shared a common interest in reptiles. When we made plans to go on our day off, he said he was visiting with his brother and wasn't sure when he'd be leaving, so I shrugged it off. Well today, we talked on and off, and I just called him about 30min ago, just to see what he was up to (besides hanging out at his brother place this entire weekend) and he said..."oh I'm going to the ***store I mentioned** with my brother.....did you want to come?" This pissed me off so bad! It's like mentioning a restaurant you really like and then that person taking someone else. Wasn't that rude? Also, i've noticed that my b/f tries to always make fun of me in front of friends. When ever we're around others he'll make really rude/humiliating/just plain mean

I am a 41 yr old female. I started dating when I was 14 and have had countless relationships. Several months ago, I started dating a man that I had little interest in. I thought "hey, it's something to do". He turned out to be the most wonderful man I have ever known and made me so very happy. We fell deeply in love. Well he is having guilt issues about his daughter - he feels he is betraying her by being with me and also just told me that he is not emotionally capable of being with me now. I've gotten over many many breakups in the past, but I know I've just said goodbye to the the greatest love of my lifetime. Can anyone help me with ideas on how the ease the pain?

My boyfriend and I were out last night and his mom calls. Since I was in the car I heard the whole convo. She's never met me but hates that her son is dating me because of where I'm from. She also found out Im not very religious like she is and now seems to hate me even more. Its very upsetting to me because I'm a very nice girl. Im what most would call the "good girl" I never get into trouble, I dont drink, do drugs or party. Im very nice, sweet and poliet. But she told my boyfriend that he's changing and Im a bad influence on him. I hate being judged for things I can't really control. I dont think it's fair to judge me when they dont know much about me at all. He tells me not to worry about it and she gets like this with almost every girl he dates. But it still bothers me. He is very close with his family and I feel horrible that I'm the reason why they are fighting. BUt i dont want to stop seeing him and talkingto him. We get along great and have a great time together.

I've been looking for a my own place for a while now. And I've finally found somewhere with my friend that I can afford!! But my mom has become very over-protective since she found out my ideas to stray away from home and be on my own. When I came across her with the idea, she was very supportive and told me she'll continue to help with my tuition as long as I pay for my living expenses. But last week when I told her I kind of found someone to move in with and can afford....she became negative and trying to make me change my mind on moving out! She's been asking me every day where I'm going and when I'll be back home even though she knows that I'm going to class or to work. I have a job, car, a focused student and I'll 20 years old in about 2 months and I don't feel that I should have a curfew that's at 1am...I'm fully capable of moving out. So how can I break it down to her that I'm moving out in a few weeks, without her holding me back?

So my boyfriend of 10months has been going to a college for 3 weeks now. He comes home every Friday night and leaves every Sunday night. We talk on the phone for an hour Monday thru Thursday. It seems like the perfect arrangement, but my heart tells me otherwise. Everybody I have ever cared about has always been there at my disposal, which is why I’m having the hardest time dealing with him being away even if it 4 days.
I hate Sundays only because it means I have to endure the pain of him leaving me to go back to college. I’m a VERY emotional person, and being away from him is effecting my health, I always feel so sick and nauseated and because I’m nauseated all the time I never want to eat. I’ve never known this pain before, like its unnatural to be away from your soul mate even for a short period of time. I believe he is my soul mate because I’ve never meet a guy who loved and treated me so well, and puts me first in his life (even in head of his buddies).
I’ve told him about unhappy I have been but he tells me to just transfer to his school and I’ll be happy. If it was that simple I would., I’m a big family orientated person and being away from my family would be just as hard. I don’t understand why he doesn’t just transfer to a college closer to me. I would make me happier, as well as healthier and save him gas money.

Hey! I'm a boy who is 16 and I think that im bisexual. I have liked this boy for about 1 year now, i had him for class. in class he talked to me but just a little or when we wasnt being talked to. IN the hall ways he looks at me and gives me a look like " what are.. you..doing?" but when his with friends he totally ignore's me. He kind of acts gay, I mean when i message him on myspace on everything he says he types "lol" "haha" he seems to be laughin but in school he dosent. After two replies he stops talking to me. so i decided to make a myspace of a gay guy, i messaed him 3 weeks ago and we have been talking for all those weeks. I mean in the gay myspace we have talked more than what me and him talk or regular bases. I love this boy , i can honestly say that, but what should I do bcause i dont want to get judge by him or by his friends, I dont want to get laughed at an ignored and in no time people will now im bi. I dont want that so what should I do so he can know that i like him

i am involved with a married man. he says that he had problems in his marriage way before we ever met. he says he loves me and he sees a future together. he has children with his wife, but he thinks a divorce will happen in the future. am i stupid to be involved with a married man? i really do trust him and i believe that he loves me. his wife doesn't know about us, and i am okay with that. should i really trust what he tells me? is it possible that he is involved with me because he loves me, and not just because he is a typical cheater? should i worry about him cheating on me if we ever get married and become open about our relationship? i hear so many bad stories about married men, are they really as bad as the seem?

And now Ann thinks we all like Kate more and that the friend that planned everything including the rides and such to go to Kates vball game is obsessing over her. She sent out an email saying that she has a home game coming up, and saying we've never been to any of her xc meet in all her years of running, and we HAVE been to at least one of her xc meets, and shes claimging we never have. its annoying and she thinks we dont like her.....
