Family & Relationships - 16 October 2007

My parent's expectations for me are completely ridiculous, and it's getting really annoying.
Right now, I'm taking most of my senior year classes at a nearby state university, since I ran out of courses at my high school. I'm 2nd in my class, and my SAT scores are excellent.

Here's an example of their expectations:

So far there have been 2 tests in my Chem class at the university. I got a 100 on the first, and I just got the results of the second back - a 90. Now I'm taking **** because I "trashed my grade" and "I can't go to a good college now" and "I'm just an idiot".

It's f***ing ridiculous, there's no way to live up to it. No matter how well I do, it's never enough.

WTF am I supposed to do?

I'm lonely without him. The weekends are fun but the week nights are so long. There is no hope in sight.

my stepmom discovered the other day that i am not as innocent as i had led her to believe. My stepmom and i are really close, she came into my life when i was four and has been the only real mom that i have. then this year came around. I just turned 15 a few months ago. my stepmom was doing laundry when she found a note that i had written to my boyfriend. after reading this letter that was in NO WAY for her eyes, she went snooping through my room. well, she found alot of things that let her know that i have been sexually active for a bit. she found letters, e-mails, and pictures that my bf and i took as a joke (we NEVER thought that anyone would see them)
well, when i got home, she called me into her room, and told my older sister to take my younger siblings to the park. my stepmom had everything that she found lying on the bed. she demanded to know exactly what i had been doing and for how long. i didn't know what to tell her..to be continued

My husband says that men have a right to change their wive's first names just like they change their last names upon marriage. He likes to call me by his former wife's name sometime but not all the time. It makes me feel like I am not good enough by myself but he says he just does that because he misses her and stuff. Am I taking this the wrong way?

Not only did I hide a $5000 debt I rang up (paid for a family vacation) I also was searching on the internet often for someone from my past I needed to get answers from. (my wife discovered websites, I was searching for him in men 4 men sites). I lied to cover this, was too ashamed and proud to tell her about what happened to me in past (searching for molester). Married 12 years when this happened, 4 kids, great life until then. 1.5 years later, we are existing in same house, separate lives and rooms. She hates me I feel, has told me she is confused and does not trust, nor ever will, trust me. Needs her space, leave her alone, etc. I am madly in love with my wife still. she refuses counseling. She refuses to talk or discuss this anymore. I have pushed, been not nice about it, I know I've been wrong, but I want to fix this. I don't believe in divorce (except for safety reasons)
What should I do? I am miserable, my kids are hurting, I'm lost. How can someone NOT love their spouse?

I really like this guy, and i don't know if he likes me. he acts like it sometimes. he sits behind me in algebra (3/4 in case you were wondering) and out of the corner of my eye sometimes i can see him staring at me. and then, in orchestra (yes, i know. Laugh) he has been known to stare at the back of my head... we've got this competition going in our section. the person that can play the hard part the best will get first chair, and everyone is confident i'll win (for some reason) and this guy is pretty sure he'll get second chair, which is what he's been aiming for for about the last two years. he wants me to be in first and him to be in second chair, basically.(ps-- there's also this bet going around in that class we'll go out soon... no ideas as to how it got started tho...)

OK so I know. I'm lucky. I have a great life, and my mom is alive. But uh... at times my mother gets on my nerves and I just wanna slug her! She's always bothering me and she says the same things all the time. She helps out in volleyball and she is so embarrassing telling our personal family business to the coach and she acts like she knows everything. Volleyball is stressfull enough already, and I don't need to worry about what she's doing. I need a polite not hurtful way to tell her to quit it. Like at times, she starts swearing (mild achoholic) and I tell her to go away. Well, guess what happens then: She stays mad at me, ignores and blocks me out of her for the rest of the night. AHHHH! She's driving me nuts! Just recently she quit her job and refuses to go back to work. I need a way to get her out of the house and out of my hair. I JUST HAte tHe WAY SHE'S BEING RIGHt NOW! help me cope :(

We live in the South and have hurricane's very commonly ... I just worry that during bad weather, me and my (future) kids will be without him due to him having to stay behind and help in dangerous times. Also, I'm afraid for his safety. He's not very quick sometimes (not to be hateful but it's honest) and it scares me that bad people will hurt him. What about holidays? Daddy won't be home and it kills me. How do I cope?

My boyfriend and I have been together plenty long enough to be engaged by now so I am kind of expecting it soon. I know it won't really be a total shock when he purposes because we talk about it all the time but still , I really want to be surprised! So tonight he asked me if I'd like to look at the engagement ring he picked out!! I don't know how to feel about that! That kind of ruins the surprise... not kind of... it REALLY ruined it! I mean, I'm not expecting romeo to sweep me off my feet kinda thing but still, it seems like if I go look at it and pick it out with him that he shouldn't bother at all!

I am pretty upset and I don't know what to do or how to feel about it. Maybe I should go so I'm not disappointed in the ring he chooses (though I'm not fussy). I feel like just the fact that he told me he's looking at rings has ruined it.

Is this something normal, that girls go look at their rings pre-engagement??

Just need some help with this one!

No responses from kids, please!!

Just a survey. I wanna see how many woman keep it real when they know they're not interested in a guy. You know what I mean. The guy that works at Burger King and does'nt dress all that well, but you still managed to give him your phone number anyway. Yeah. I'm bored folks. Lol.

I like to think that I'm 100% responsible for my own thoughts and feelings and my partner his, but we must be supportive. Many answerers seem to think that they're responsible for how their spouse feels, especially when it comes to jealousy and that their behaviors or ways of being must change to accompany that. I disagree and think that if my partner is jealous, that's his problem and I can only support him, through reassurances, but not changing my behavior as jealousy is often illogical, in dealing with it. What do you think?

Ok so we have been going out for 3-5 months, and we go to school together. Through out these months I constantly tended to her. Made sure if something was on her mind, I could help her. If her friends didn't eat with her, I would so she wouldn't be alone. I would TRY to hang with her after school, lunch, or whenever, but she would just walk away, and talk to someone else. She gives everyone else attention, but me. If someone is having a bad day she will cheer them up, but when I have a bad day she doesn't give a rat's ***. She gives other people hugs or talks to other people, but I have to ask for attention. I AM FED UP! I don't try to hang with her anymore hoping she will come and hang with me, but she doesn't. I eat alone every day, cuz my friends are out hanging with their girlfriends. She knows I get jealous easy, yet she still flirts with other guys, then when I tell her I'm kinda jealous, she gives me all this "I love you" crap, that doesn't hold any friggin value. WAT DO I DO!

I'm not gay or anything. I like to listen to women. They are good to talk to. I don't like conversing with most men.
