Family & Relationships - 28 September 2007

I've seen this guy around a lot in my zombie like clone school, who stands out from everyone else. I'm interested in him. He comes off very mysterious. I get this hutch in my stomach when I know that someone is worth getting to know. I want to talk to him, we've never said a word to each other. If I go up and say something, would I come off too strong? Would this scare him?

My husband was watching a war movie in the living room. A specific scene showed a soldier dying with blood gushing from his neck. I told him that he needed to finish the show in our bedroom because it wasn't appropriate for our 10 year old daughter. So of course he gets his Marine attitude and tells me to shut my pie hole and stomps off into the bedroom. What do you do when your spouse acts like an *ss?

And we went to the street. " I am not sure how the judge did that one and got by with it". Well that has been 9 months ago and now she has came down with Cancer and lost Lots of weight.
Do you think that the under current of reaping what you sow has came back around and bit her? What is your opinion?

The following is from an actual 1950s Home Economics textbook intended for girls, teaching them how to prepare for married life:

1. Have dinner ready: Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal - on time. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him, and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospects of a good meal are part of the warm welcome needed.

2. Prepare yourself: Take 15 minutes to rest so you will be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people. Be a little gay and a little more interesting. His boring day may need a lift.

3. Clear away clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives, gathering up school books, toys, paper, etc. Then run a dust cloth over the tables. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too.

4. Prepare the children. Take a few minutes to wash the children's hands and faces if they are small, comb their hair, and if >>necessary, change their clothes. They are little treasures and he would like to see them playing the part.

5. Minimize the noise: At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise don't run the washer and dryer, or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet.Greet him with a warm smile and be glad to see him.

6. Some DON'TS: Don't greet him with problems or complaints. Don't complain if he's late for dinner. Count this as minor compared with what he might have gone through that day.

7. Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or suggest he lay down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him. Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soft, soothing and pleasant voice. Allow him to relax and unwind.

8. Listen to him: You may have a dozen things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first.

9. Make the evening his: Never complain if he does not take you out to dinner or to other places of entertainment; instead try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his need to be home and relax.

10. The Goal: try to make your home a place of peace and >>order where your husband can relax.

I have been married 14 years. Two years into the marriage, my husband cheated but did everything to try and fix the marriage. And did everything he could to try to make me trust him again. Anyway, that lasted for a while. Now he lies and I catch him in the lie and he says things like I had misunderstood him or I forgot and got things all mixed up or whatever. He desperately does not want to get divorced. Probably because of money. Help

Recently a judge made a girl give her engagement ring back to her ex-fiance, how do you feel about that? If fiances break up should the girl get to keep the ring or should the guy get the ring back?

P.S. I posted this question before but I forgot to mention that the ring was given as a christmas gift, the guy didn't just propose so it was probably thought of as more of an unconditional gift not conditional.

My ex and I broke up 2 years ago. We have a 5 year old child. I have him paying $1000.00 a month in child support and he complains about it even though he makes $2500.00 a month. What he pays is not even enough to feed, clothe, or pay rent for me and my child. Recently he recieved an inheritance of a large sum. Can I get more child support from him and am I entitled to some of his money? I can not afford a lawyer so and free advice would help.

I like this guy in my class. It's a small class of about ten kids and I've been trying to get up the courage to talk to him. I thought maybe he liked me because our eyes meet a lot in class and the halls and when someone says something funny we make eye contact and laugh. Well, we always sit next to each other and he's quiet and doesn't talk to many people so I kind of started a conversation with him and another guy. I felt like we really clicked and he made a lot of eye contact and we laughed a lot and were comfortable. Plus he talks to me more than all the other s! Is it too good to be true? Do you think he likes me or is just being friendly?

mine does.. he says the meanest things to me.. and it hurts my feelings.. i don't understand why he says things that hurt my feelings.. i asked him that and he doesn't answer me at all.. i even cried infront of him because i could not take the pain anymore.. but he just sat there and didn't care at all that i was crying in pain.. i asked him if does it bother him even just a bit that i am crying.. he just told me he isn't moved a bit at all like he doesn't care at all..
i feel so hurt right now.. i don't know what to do with my feelings.. i want to make myself feel better but how..? we have a 2-year-old daughter and i love her so much..
i am aware that marriage has its ups and downs.. but shouldn't a good husband do anything to make her wife feel bad? if the husband really loves his wife that is..
i am hurting right now.. i want to feel better.. but i don't know how

Its funny..sometimes I ask my boyfriend for something he tells me he doesnt have money or he is broke.But he gets me stuff all the same but this is at his own time, when he wants to get me something, but when i ask for it..i hear a different story...I dont really hear "Yes I will get it for u"straight away, he always says i'll try or if only i get it, stuff like that. I feel like he prefers to get me stuff at his on time..than when i ask him.Is that a good sign..

I worked 12 hours. Came home and my fiance is working on his garage and expects me to go get dinner. Should he go get dinner or should I let him continue working on the garage because he wants to get the garage done? Am I being shelfish for wanting him to get dinner because he is working on the garage?

The Bible says to be fruitful and multiply, but I find peace in just knowing the word of God myself and not trying to evangelize others or feel the NEED to marry a man. I can live a peaceful life with just Jesus in my life, right? Without Jesus, I am a lustful woman who seeks out sex sex and more sex and even lust after married men. This is absolutely wrong of me.

I bought my friend a heart shaped necklace for her birthday. I didnt know what to get her. I asked a mutual friend and she said jewerly. I didnt want this gift to say too much or anything at all, but she said it wouldn't, so I found a heart shaped neckalce. A couple days after i gave it to her I asked if she liked it. She said "I guess". the mutual friend asked if she liked it and she said "yeah, it was weird".

My friend just recently got a divorce. They had one kid together and she had another kid from a previous marriage. She moved straight out of their house together and into her boyfriends house. They have split the "mutual" kid up one week him, one week her. And the older child just gets to see his "dad" on the weekends. The older kid is acting out for obvious reasons. Is there anyway to get through to my friend and convince her that she had made a very BAD decision by moving in with her boyfriend without even taking a break?

Girls and Guys in their 20s: A Question?
I have friends who are getting married and others that are not even in relationships. I myself have never been in a relationship and I am a single, straight, 28 year old male. I have not even had my first kiss yet, but I digress. The thing I find astounding is the fact that my friends seem to be acting more like aging women than young men. They constantly talk about finding a woman to settle down with and having children. Who the hell wants to rush into that in this day and age? 30 is the new 20! These people obviously didn't get the message. Being single has allowed me to work full time and still live at home with my parents and other adult siblings (24, 26). I go to school for my masters and have some spare time and money on the side as I have no rent to pay etc. What I find even more disturbing are the parents that actually seem to push their children to date, get married and have children. I am fortunate in that mine do not. Anyone have any thoughts regarding my observations?

I am living far away from her guys. With my husband. I was in Australia before. But just moved to the UK last month. That butch is in France. I am stressed to the sky when I think abt her. I was depressed for the whole half of this year, just recovering from it.. And now that butch is trying to get in my way again..
She just cannot accept that I come from an Asian background and that I am different! I have lived in so many countries, met so many people, but I have never met someone like her. And why did it have to be my mother in law?????!
She wants me to be like .. what? typical french girl???!
FYI: She's had pretty harsh childhood. But I thought that's supposed to teach you to grow wiser! Am I wrong?
