Family & Relationships - 14 October 2007

If a guy says, "I'm falling for you" does it mean "love" or could it simply be "like" ? I welcome everyone's views, but I'd especially like to hear from guys. Thanks.

Hi. I have this class assignment which I'm suppose to interview adults or couples who are over 50 years old about their views on intimate relationship (you don't have to be in a relationship to answer this. you can be around 50 years old--that's fine).

It's just a few questions. Please state your sex and age too.

Thank you so much in advance!!


1. How do you feel that love has changed as you have grown older?
2. Does love change as the relationship ages? If so, how?
3. Looking back what would you change knowing what you know about how you negotiated love and intimacy?
4. What is the best advice you could give a young person about how to negotiate love and intimacy in the first decade of the 21st century?

My Boyfriend and I have been dating for a while, and we are expecting our first child together on May of 08. He also has other child with a younger female. I sometimes wonder if she still wants to be him? I feel she does at times by the amount of times she calls him. But I'm with him almost 24/7 and when I’m not I trust him. (She cheated on him so I know he doesn't want her) But hey all I can do is have trust right....... But my worry’s come in that he hasn't told her about me and the baby. And his excuse is that he doesn't want to create drama with him and her and his little girl. But dang how is that suppose to make me feel. It's been on my mind for sometime...and wants to know what ppl think about this situation. Should I bring it up to him are just let it play it's self out. The relationship is great besides this.....Please only answer the question at hand and please don't pass judgment because no one is god nor perfect. Thank you for all of you guys responses.

When I was young I grew up to have a father who's inhuman to my mother, my sister and to me. In my case, Ive lost count the beatings I had come across. The memory is still fresh on my mind how he kicked me while I was watching tv on the middle of night, he got mad because he was awaken by the sound. He bumped my head unto the wall. Not only for these instances that he would physically hurt me, actually there's alot. Like, one rule in our house: "go home before 6 pm", I went home like 7pm, as soon as I entered the gate he slap my head using his sleeper. I could list down the number of beatings I had. Now, Im 23 but I am not yet ready to open up myself for him. My heart is filled with so much silent anger to what I have experienced. My mom, my sister, my friends and our relatives advised me to forgive my father, God knows I have tried my best to get close to him, talk to him but I just cant.

we live in a million dollar house in fairfield county, ct. they make 250,000plus a year. we have a summer house worth 750,000, a house in florida, and a house in colorado, and a timeshare in maui and hawaii. and yet, we are "broke"
yesterday was homecoming, and we didnt even have fifteen dollars for me to get my eyebrows done. i had to collect quarters and pennies from my backpack and pants pockets and turn them into coinstar.
my parents say they've hit a "rough patch". but we've never sunk so low as having to collect pennies to feed ourselves.
what do i do? my parents are reckless and irresponsible and last year they forgot to send my sister money (she was in college in canada) and she almost starved to death and the doctors thought she was anorexic.
ahhh help this is no joke
WHAT THE H E L L do i do???

I am in the architecture/design field and guys I meet are either already married...or gay. I also live and work outside of LA, where there are unfortunately lots of people interested in "superficial" things. I value nice things, but I don't have alot, and am not materialistic. I like the area, but think I won't meet a "real" guy in a place like this. By the way, I'm not moving!!

went through a horrible time with this disease and died 6 months later. Their 41st anniversary was in June 01 (the last one they had together) and it was just days before he was confined to the bed until he passed. My father took my mother out to eat at a very nice place to celebrate. He passed away in August of 01 so that dinner was the last place they ate together outside of their home, AND it was their anniversary. My mom ended up marrying someone else this past year, 5 years later, and I found out the other day that she met my brother to drop something off to him, with her new husband at the same place my dad had taken her to celebrate their anniversary. Would this upset anyone else? By the way, my brother had no idea that's where our Dad had taken her.

For part of our honeymoon we would like to spend 1-2 nights at the Poconos. After reading endless reviews I can't find a decent place to stay at. We would like to stay in a "romantic" room with a jacuzzi but are not fans of the heart shaped or champagne towers. Any ideas? Or recommendations? Thanks!

yes i realize im looking more for advice than for an answer...
i have been so depressed lately..
i dont feel loved. i feel as if no one cares about me. when i go to talk to my parents they ignore me. and yes i have many friends but im not sure how much they truly care about me.. i mean i know they do but they just dont show it all the well all the time.
and i currently have no love life. ya i know love hits you when you least expect it and its wonderful. i know what true love SHOULD feel like but i am so longing for it that i dont know what to do. i feel so hopeless.
i think what i am really looking for is someone to care about me and to hold me.
any advice would be GREATLY appreciated

let him? Do you like it. My husband and I had a conversation about this. He thinks about 60% of wives do it and like it. I think probably less. Got an opinion? Let's try not to get deleted here.

Ok so me and my gf have been goin out for almost a year and we havent really had a conversation about sex. There have been certain occasions where we have came close to actually havin sex, but since neither of us was prepared for the moment (u know, protection or birth control) we ended up not goin any further. Even after these incidents we didn't really talk about wat happend or wat we woulda liked to happen... Its also been a while since we have sexually come on to each other, and Since its comin close to a year I wanna spark up a sexual relationship wit her, I have perfect plans for how i want things to happen. Problem is I just don't know how to actually bring up the topic in a conversation wit her, to make sure she is ready and feels the same way as i do.

Also, my dad sprayed some Bod Body Spray for men on my neck as a joke. Some of it went in my mouth and I swallowed it. Is swallowing just a little bit bad for me?
