Family & Relationships - 24 September 2007

A lot of people hire someone to do everything for their wedding - flowers, centerpieces, etc. Or they buy them ready made from a store. But it seems more and more people are making things themselves.

What have you made for your wedding?

Okay I have been with my fiance for a year and half now and we are excepting a baby in Jan. He also has a son from a prior relationship (not Marriage) which I do not have a problem with at all. The problem that I am having is his ex. Like I said we have been together for a year and a half, and I have never met his son's mom. I am not allowed to answer the phone when she calls, I am not allowed to go with him to pick or drop him off, and If I ask anything about her he just changes the subject and tells me that she is crazy and he does not want me around that!!! Now my fiances ex's father passed away and my fiance's parents are kissing her *** like it there job and it kind upsets me!! Has anyone ever been in a situation like this?? Please Help me!!! What should I do??

Oh and I forgot to add that she will make comments about me to him and there son that I am just the knock up whore and things to the nature!!! HELP!!!!

I am currently living with my boyfriend of four months. Prior to this, i had been seeing him for aprox a year, while he was living with someone else.
I feel I have problem relating to trust with him now, and he is ashamed of his past, and has told me he would never do this on me, that i am the one for him. He has told me that he intends on asking me to marry him very soon. I love him very much and he is good with my son, but i feel I am sometimes possessive about who he is talking to or texting on his phone, and find i pick arguments with him over silly things, and then regret it shortly after and upset myself. Im totally confused when i comes down to realising why I am being like this? Can anyone shed any light on this for me?

I'm a very attractive woman--thin, in shape, long blonde hair, a pretty face. But I feel like my boyfriend isn't attracted to me. He rarely wants to have sex with me, and he looks at porn and checks out other women. Why is he with me if he doesn't find me attractive?

and after how long should you get worried when he doesnt pop the question?i've been with my boyfriend for 3 years and we've been living together for most of those 3 years.Yes we've had our ups and downs but we always solve pur problems and to tell you the truth eveytime we have a fight(not physical) after we make up our love for each other grows even more.I'm 23yrs and just finished college and he is 30 years and is a doctor.I've got no doubt that he is the one i went to spent the rest of my life with.I've had more than my share of fun and i've dated quite a few guys before i met him so i know i'm ready for the marriage.

I love my husband, but we have sex so rarely it is getting me so down. I feel so unattractive that I can't bring myself to make advances - I feel sick at the thought of being turned away again. In the early days his idea of sex tended to be from porn (which he still looks at?!), so for a while I made the effort and dressed up etc.. but it got to the point that we only have sex when I did this... So I know I turned him down often back then... but that was 3 or 4 years ago. Now we only ever do it when I have had a bit of dutch courage.
This really is affecting my whole life. I raise this every few weeks or so and he ackowledges that we have a problem... his reaction... pet me like a child so we don't need to talk about it.
We have had counselling (he cheated, although he never admitted anything) 2 years ago - but sex wasn't discussed although it was one of the issues we raised with her, he didn't want to talk about it. Help?

My daughter asked me to pay her rent for her this month. I paid it since she didn't have the money. This put me behind on paying a few of my bills. She knew that her dad had been off from work due to heart surgery and that I had just went back to work so there is not much left in savings - and we need to make sure we have the money on hand to ALWAYS get her dad's medication each month (which adds up quickly). Then, less than a week after I paid her rent, she received a check from college where they had applied for more money on a school loan than was needed and she got the rest of the money for whatever she needed the money for (which she will have to pay back when she is out of college). My daughter also works but not full time so her money is tight. I asked her for half of the rent back ($200) since she got the check ($1000). She got mad, said no that I should pay her rent since I couldn't pay her college, and now won't even answer the phone. Am I wrong to ask for it back?

I broke it off with my ex fiancée about 5 months ago. This was after a tumultuous 3 years of long distance and up and downs. Part of the reason for the break up was that I found out that he had been unfaithful to me both physically and emotionally. He had also begun to pull away and stated that we were lacking a spark in the intimacy department.
During this time I've been doing my best to get over the heartache of my break up. A few weeks ago an old flame came back into the picture. We got together during one of the breakups between my ex and I. The chemistry was unbelievable between the two of us and I developed feelings for him (not love), but my ex came back into the picture and I made a choice to try and work things out with him. Thus breaking my old flames heart. My old flame has admitted to me that he still has feelings for me and that he would like more then just a friendship. What should I do? I still love my ex but it seems to be that it is really over this time a

I don't know when things will ever get better.

My 15 year old daughter was living with her father in another state until now. She lives with me now and is not happy with her school at all.

We were living with my parents and now moved into an apartment and she says that it feels like a hotel.

My expenses have gone up so that I will be saving less money for retirement and her college education.

I feel very unsettled and worried for my child. She misses her Dad, Grandmother and friends. She really only has me and my parents here in the state where I live.

Its too much change for her also with the new school, living arrangements and state.
I feel like I have to struggle for everything and I don't know when there will be an improvement in my life situation.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have a friend who I have known for a few years and have always been there for her through boyfriend break ups and difficulties with jobs. I have often been a shoulder to cry on and been there for the good and the bad. She recently got a new job and I went out with her to celebrate but I am feeling over the past year that the relationship is one sided. I have never had to rely on her so much for break ups because I am married but I have had a few thing happen in my life over the past year and she hasn't been there at all. We bought a new house and she didn't come over to see it or even congratualate me. She didn't come to house warming or anything .Also i have been studying really hard for exams and got a promotion in work again she didn't even congratulate me. Also she didn't get me a wedding present - when we married it was just the two of us in Italy but we told everyone before hand. I always celebrate her bday, she never celebrates mine. Is the relationship worth it?

do guys really prefer the larger, more curvy women? i know, well, according to the media, big hips, large thighs and a full rear are apparently attractive, but do some guys prefer the smaller girls?

l'm only 5"1 and l'm 40 kilos, not underweight, but there's not that much devoted to curves, l'm got pretty slim hips although i feel obliged to mention l'm not at all flat chested, l'm about a 12C. so do guys mind the small skinny girls like me, or do they all prefer the curvy and luscious women?

I even tried to instigate sex, turned me down. When home he focuses on sports on t.v. or naps in his chair. The weather is about our only conversation. When he have had general conversation, he usually cuts me down, belittles me. When I come in from doing my parents dinner (I've worked all day) he will be sitting, waiting, then ask when am I cooking dinner. He helps with nothing. He played golf Saturday and Sunday, I had to be at my parents on Saturday but was home on Sunday. I got the laundry done and some housework, but he asked why I hadn't grocery shop and what were we having for dinner. I checked his cell fone, found a cell number for "M". Got a search report it belongs to a 74 yr old woman, I got her address and know she has grown daughters. Is he jealous over my obligations to my parents? I don't know where to begin or what to do. Between my job, parents and this I can't take much more.

Well im just asking because my mate has his first gf ever. They only have seen each other for the past 3 weeks.

Lately hes been seeing her every day since last saturday. At one point he told us that he was at the gym. My mate told her he was gonna be at the gym for a while. She then texted him 20 mins later saying "do you miss me?" My mate couldnt reply because he was working at the gym. When my mate finished working at the gym, he got a text msg from her saying "probably not". My mate replyed " Sorry babe, was working in the gym, of corse i miss u"

Then my mate told us like he doesnt know if its gonna. What ur opinion on the situation here?
