Family & Relationships - 8 October 2007

Lately I have been thinking alot about how my life would be if I wasn't married, and didn't have a child. I got married when I was young ( 19 ) so I figure its just because I thought I would be doing different things then what I am doing now...but now Im thinking about it all the time....having my own place, seeing different men, having friends around...and I don't want to make things in my marriage weird because I thinking about life without my husband...Am I just over reacting?

Please don't take this wrong, but I keep reading from women who say how wonderful their marriage is and they or their spouse would never cheat or lie or deceive. Don't you think most people felt that way at one time? Many of the people tell you, after 23 or 25 years of marriage their spouse is having an affair? Do you really think you are the 'chosen ones' and this could never happen to you or by you? Isn't there vulnerablility to this for everyone? Can you really say 'he will never' or 'I will never'? (Thanks for your answers - just wondering)

I have an ex that broke my heart worse than anyone I've ever been in love with. . .then he left me for scum and made it seem like he never loved me at all. However, recently he has been prank calling me and texting me. I'm just wondering why he would do this if he treated me the way he did (cheating, lying, psychological abuse, etc.) I've started to heal and move on, but I'm lost and just don't understand why he would make such an effort to prank call from random phones and send random text messages to me? Someone please help me understand what is going on!

I want to know if I'm overreacting. When I was in college, I had a "friend with benefits." We'd been hooking up since High School, and it went off and on for several years. I had never said no to sex to him before, but when I got a serious boyfriend in the later aspect of undergrad I stopped things...or so I thought. Well one night when I was home at my parents for a weekend this guy decided to sneak in my room for a little... you know...late one night (this guy is a family friend and has a key to my house). He woke me by kissing me and trying to have sex with me. I told him "no, we talked about this I have a bf and I'm not going to do this anymore." In the end, he didn't listen and pinned me down. My parents were in the next room and I didn't want to wake them up (this is because he is a family friend and he works for my father, it would cause so much drama). So I just gave up. We'd had sex before, is it really rape? Years later, it still bothers me & I have MAJOR trust issues w/ guys

Been happily separated for a year. My ex lives hours away and we have no contact with each other. I recently received a phone call from a woman that I know but not too well (she was a friend of my ex ). I am not fond of her at all but I have been cordial when I saw her. The last time I saw her was five years ago and she drained the s--t out of me. Anyway, She got my new phone number by showing up at my house when I wasn't there and telling my daughter that she and I were very good friends and she needed to talk to me. When the woman called she kept asking me how to get in touch with my ex because she was getting a divorce and HER Ex-husband (who is 500 miles away) was looking for a job with my ex husband. (She and her ex have always had my ex husband's phone number and email address. They did not have mine because I had changed both and never kept up with them by choice). She kept digging for info about us etc,. but I would not give any info and she seemed frustrated.

After dealing with my son's continued lying, not doing homework, lazyness,you name it, its becoming glaringly obvious, he needs to go live with his dad.

I have had my son evaluated by professionals in "hopes' something was wrong with him, he tests fine.

He is polite and well liked by everyone, but you can't trust him, he will lie through his teeth for absolutely no reason.

His dad is a known pathological liar, and has lied many times to my son. No matter what I do for discipline, nothing works, so for the sake of my sanity, I am going to send him to his fathers.

I know I will pay child support and have figured it out to what it would be. I am thinking that we will do a 'temporary' order and try it for a year. If it works, I have no qualms with him staying there. His dad can't hold a job, isn't a stable person, but maybe a taste of the 'other side' of life will be a wakeup call?

No disciplining has worked to get his grades up nor fix the lying.

He says HI once in a while when we see each other, but otherwise.. I IM him and he talks with questions relevant to the topic i persue, never really starting another topic.

When I see him I try to say something, but he comes off saying,"ohreally?" or "i see"

This isnt going to work is it? I should give up trying?

Everybody on here is always like, "brunettes!!" and thumbs down anybody who says blondes or redheads. i'm a blonde, and i have a 4.0 and i'm athletic and don't need a lot of makeup, what's wrong with that?

i've never felt so insecure after being on here. everybody says blonds are sluts or easy or fake. i'm a natural blonde and now i feel like people see me like a slut of fake.

What is your opinion on the difference of your significant other saying "I love you" to you or them saying "Love you" to you? Is one more powerful or more meaningful than the other?

I really like using M&Ms as my favor. However, the personalized ones for the website are too expensive. I was thinking about just buying One Pound bags of M&Ms from the grocery store. I've seen them for as cheap at $2 a bag (on sale) I'm having 150 guests and I'm figuring everyone should get a quater(.25) of a pound each. That means I would need about 38 bags (I'd just round to 40 and have a few extra)

The cost would be about $80 for the M&Ms. I then would place them in cute little containers and attach a cute little poem to them.

My first name starts w/ a M and so does his. So, it's saying is about use being M&M (get it...cheesy I know)

I'm having a fall wedding, so I'll try getting the fall colors M&Ms. But, if I don't. Do you think this will be a good favor, regardless of what color M&Ms I use.

I'm trying to keep the favor cost to about $1-$1.25 per person. So far $80/150 is about .53 cents a person. I'm getting containers cheap by the bulk.

My boyfriend and I have been dating for almost a year. He's a whole half foot shorter than me though, and he's very self-conscious about it. I'm comfortable with it, but with things like greeting him...I think it embarrasses him for me to try to come up and bend down and hug him. He comes up to me a lot though and just squuezes the heck out of me (in a cute way i mean-makes me feel good). On days he's feeling down though and I want to greet him in a nice way and make him feel better, what am I to do? He had a death in the family recently and he's been suffering from it. What can i do that won't embarrass him that he'll be comfortable with? Is there anything?

Oh yeah, and if it matters any, we're both 16.
