Family & Relationships - 25 September 2007

How do I convince my 14 year old highschool daughter that she does not have to have a boyfriend all the time? She thinks that when she breaks up with a boy that she needs to get another one asap! She is beautiful, very athletic in scoccer, volleyball and basketball. She always makes the team when she tries out at school. She is always an honor roll student and loves school. She loves our church, she never misses and is on the drama team and dance team at church. She is always the first to volunteen to help in her youth group. But, she feels incomplete without someone to call her boyfriend even though she is not allowed to go out on dates (just talk on the phone). Maybe I'm just being silly and this is normal and I should not worry.

Me and my boyfriend have been together 6 years and we have two kids together. I have been unhappy for a long time and have told him many of times, He is a truck driver and is never here i am always here alone with the kids, we have lived with his mom for the whole six years on and off.I have no friends or family here and i am a stay at home mom.i dont go out or anything except to take the kids out..I have been cheating on him for the past 6 months and this other person makes me happy, He also has kids and seperated from his wife a year ago. he has asked me to be with him. He even changed jobs to make more money for me and stopped going out like he used to. So do you think that is is right for me to leave my boyfriend for someone else?? I dont want anybody to be mad but i dont want to spend the rest of my life unhappy either And i want to do what is best for me and my kids, but people tell me that i should not be with him just because of our kids so what do you think

I guess I am worried because we are not super religious.... I believe in God and the bible but we don't go do church or pray very often. My fiancé doesn’t believe in anything so that worries me. We are meeting with the Minster who is going to marry us tonight. For our first meeting class the Minster was a real jerk so I am little worried about the new one but he can’t be any worst. Anyone have any good stories for me? Horror stories, funny stories or did it go great for you guys?

I'm a 24 year old college student that finds herself in a strange situation. I was out with a girlfriend and we ran into another friend of hers. We were having a drink and talking then her friend asked if I would like to go with her to a formal party she was going to. I thought it sounded like fun (heck a chance to dress up) and said yes. After the friend left my girlfriend told me her friend was a lesbian and I had just agreed to a date.

Wow I had never even thought about hooking up with a girl before but the more I think about it the more my heart races :)

now my friend has told all my other girlfriends that I'm going out with another girl and they are all playingly teasing me about it (and for some strange reason I'm loving it) They are calling me their little lesbian and it makes me blush.

I can't wait to do this and I'm really hoping that something sexual happens. Was I secertly bi or lesbian and didn't even realize it??

My stepson married his girlfriend of 6 years & most of the family does not really care for her. She got mad at me because he was 19 and she was 15 and I refused to let her spend the night with him. When I remodeled the kitchen she had the nerve to tell me "I don't like it but when I own this home I'll change it to how I like it". She had at one point said that if they ever had kids that she didn't want her child to ever come to our farm because farms are "so dirty". Yesterday during a converstion with a friend from out of state I found out she was pregnant. She nor my husband's son had bothered to let us know - my husband was hurt to find out this way but we can't do anything about it. But since we know now, I received an e-mail from my husband's ex that "it would be appreciated if you would contribute to the nursery". Since they have nothing to do with us except when they are getting a gift (Christmas) I say just buy a gift for the baby but not help with the nursery. Opinions?

So, I was with my girlfriend the other night, she just came back from an 8 month seperation from me (financial issues, she had to move back home to hawaii from dc) and we recently were hanging out in my apartment. We started fooling around and before I knew it, I was ontop of her on the couch.. we just made out for a bit, then as she was about to leave my apartment, I grabbed her and slammed her into the wall and started to kiss and bite her neck. She was so overwhelmed and turned on, that we kept messing around for about another hour or so.. my question is, do many or most women just get so overpowered by a turn-on that you can't help yourself? How powerful is a turn-on for you?

I called the treasury dept in my state, but since he had remarried 2 months before his sudden death with no will, they say his widow has the right to claim. Me and my sister got nothing from his estate. How should I go about convincing his widow to sign over rights to me and my sister. We are not talking about a fortune, it is less that $1,000. We just want it closed out.

P.S. This woman gave us nothing of my fathers after his death for even sentimental value. ( except his families photos).

I have been married for six years. About three month ago i had a row with my husband . We were in different countries during the time we had a row(I was on holiday for two months).We didnt speak to each other for about month, then i decided to call him from the country where i was and suddenly probably problems with telephone lines I could hear on the telephone line that he was talking to another women and understood from the conversation that he just met her but there is nothing between them.Now I am back and I am 90% sure that he doesnt speak to her anymore but Now I cant trust him and i am very jealous, wherever he goes I I mean after work with freinds or collegues I cant stop being jealous and i dont know what to do. I am really fed up with it.What can you advise to me?

Would you buy a new Christening gown for your baby? MIL just mailed a family Christening gown but enclosed a long list of "do not"s -don't iron it, don't wash it, i'll iron it when i get there, make sure to hang it on special x hanger ASAP, and make sure to return it in same shipping box mailed by x date. not even a thank you or please. plus the neck seems too tiny for the baby (buttons won't close in the back) and it's yellowish-looking. i'm afraid baby spit up will dissolve front part and leave a hole! LOL. Baby is at stage of pulling on clothes and am afraid it would rip. plus MIL disagrees with much of what we do at our house. it's no problem for us to buy a new nice gown we can keep. what would you do? what would you say?

i am the oldest of my fathers children. he never married my mom. when i was 8 he married someone else & had three more daughters. my half sisters know nothing about me. he did pay child support for 18 years. my step mother knows about me. he never had contact with me over the years, mainly because of my mother & his wife. its a very long story. anyway he did come & visit me as an adult but then stopped coming because of his wife. i was wondering if i am not in his will, could i fight it to get some of his estate? any help will be greatly appreciated. also, should i ever tell my sisters who i am if i should meet them? the decission not to tell them was their mothers.

Masturbation is sick.
Women who love sex are s.l.u.t.s.
Sex education makes child premiscuous.
Sexual behavoir usually ends after age 60.
People who enjoy pornography end up committing sexual crimes.
Using a condom ensures that you wont get HIV.
Most women prefer a man with a larger penis.
Few women masturbate.
An erection is necessary for good sex.
An orgasm is necessary for good sex.
You partner should like the same things you like, sexually.
A man can not have a orgasm unless he has had a erection.
Most people know a lot of accurate information about sex!
Women secretly want to be raped.

I think the last one is the sickest.
But just for all the people out there, these are all proven myths. As in...Not True!!!

I'm 21 yrs old and this semester i'm a full time student. I'm currently working at my job for 16 hours a week & only making $140. I was just recently kicked out of my father's apartment because he 'thought i broke the washing machine'. i know it sounds insane, but that's because it is. He's a rage-a-holic. I've delt with his temper for 6 mo. now and it's making me really depressed, and even coming in between me and my studies. He makes me cry uncontrolablly on a regular basis, keeping me from wanting to go to class.
So now i'm temporarily living with my mother whom i can't stay with (i was told by her i can't stay).
My dad has given me the choice of going back to his apartment, but deal with his mental abuse.
My other choice is to move with my friend into an apartment and drop all but one of my classes so i have time to work. BUT i'm out $1200 that i payed for tuition. However i wont have to worry about getting kicked out. I will return to school the following semester. Help please.

A German lawmaker is proposing marriages that would expire, then come up for renewal, after 7 years. Is this a good idea? It seems practical to me, but not very romantic. Do you think this would have an effect on the divorce rate? If so, do you think it would make it better or worse?
