There's this boy who always looks at me with a funny look. His eyebrows go up and he curls his lips inward. It's almost like he's scared of me or something, it's so weird. Any idea what this facial expression means?

I'm 13 and my older sister is 15. We are really close and she is my best friend. She was always the quieter, doesn't-like-conflicts sort. She is also very very intreverted. Lets just say i'm kind of the opposite. She recently went to school, away from us, but we still talk a lot. She's been decorating her dorm room with like..."emo things" I think that it's really cool. -Now people think that being emo is cool and they tell people that their emo, that's not how it goes- My sister is real emo...but she doesn't admit it. But it's deffinite emotional music obsession in her case. Like hell. She's freaking my parents out and i'm trying to calm them down (I think she's the coolest, even though I wouldn't be emo) but the only thing that will calm my parents down is "She might not even be emo in the first place!" But, really, she is. I feel responsible. Like it was my fault becasue I shouldn't have even given her ideas of cool "deathly" song lyrics to post on her wall in the first place!

I know its common for guys to go by their last names in their everyday lives. How about you girls? My first name doesn't fit my personality, so I've been going by my last name for years. I've actually had people tell me they're uncomfortable with my first name (and it is a very common name)!

Do any other girls go by their last name on a regular basis?

So I've been with my bf for about 6 great months now... and I've known him for about a year and a half.. I met him online... and things are amazing, really.
But with this whole situation, my family [immediate that is] really doesn't seem to understand... with what it's about ya know? ...
So to show my point, my sister... is quite the judgemental type.. and probably thinks I am hiding stuff from her... but the matter of the fact is, is that I don't want her downgrading my bf just because he doesn't live near me...
She knows nothing about him because I really dun feel I should HAVE to tell her... we are not even close to begin with so why does it all of a sudden matter ya know?
It's been bugging me for the past months.. but I've come to realize that I shouldn't care one bit what anyone has to say... I am still gonna do what I want regardless....
But to further get my question out there.. I would just like to know can I be able to let her know about him... without worryin myself.?

When I was 19 and in Viet Nam, I frequented the base tailor for a series of chevron additions. Somehow the Viet Namese lady tailor took a liking to me. She set me up with her daughter. She was right up front in 1967. She wanted to save her daughter from what she feared for the future. She was looking to find her an American husband. Well, we had a number of dates together, mainly at restaurants but also visiting temples and other landmark sites. The dates always chaperoned by her mother. I was fairly new to dating. Never did in high school. But had statesside with but 2 girls. Funny thing I fell in love with this girl. We kissed but call it kissing like a good Catholic girl... her mother was watching. I got ribbed by guys in my unit. Yeah, I went to bars, but never messed with the girls. I got called a homo because I didn't go to the rooms with the girls. And razed for as they said, not getting rid of the old lady and shagging the girl. I went to the CO to get consent to marry. But,

I just found out on Sunday that my husband of 6 yrs has been having an affair for the past 2 yrs. I never noticed a difference in him. I didnt want to be intimate,too tired and bored. He said he went to her because "she made him feel good and she didn't argue" What bothers me is, if I hadnt found out,he wouldve continued with the affair.This was ok the first couple of days but now I think "Wait a minute,he stopped the affair because he got busted,not because he wanted to end it" I can't get over that fact.The affair itself hurts tremendously but the ending it because he got caught gets to me even worse.I told him that I need something more from him,besides ending the affair, to help me heal. We signed up for counseling.I asked him to go back with her. I wanted him to be happy.I feel like I forced him to be with me.Even though I love him very much,Id rather he be happy and not feel like I ruined his happiness.Of course he says he wants to be with me and loves me so why the affair then?

For me, he'd have to be:

sensitive
ambitious
funny
easy going
loving
likes luxury
hard working
understanding
tough on the outside but a softy on the inside

I also wouldn't mind if he were the semi muscular type. i hate guys that shrimpy and all skinny.

My boyfriend and I have a 4 month old baby together . We are 20 and 21. About a year ago we moved into a place together, but about a month ago he moved out because he didn't have a job and he was going out too much at night, and because he wasn't being responsible enough.
Since then he has gotten a 9-5 job, tucks the baby in at night and helps give her a bath.

I propose that if my boyfriend gets to go out twice a week that I should get two free nights as well. What are other ways we can make sure responsibility over the baby is shared equally? What have you done with your partner to make things equal?

I'm a 17 year old guy with two twin 5 year old sisters. They have too much energy. Anna wakes me up by tickling my feet; when I'm trying to do my homework, Emma will cry if I don't give her "pretend homework" to do next to me. They both smack my butt when I'm brushing my teeth, and they follow me around until I sit down and then they jump in my lap.

I have a girlfriend, and when she rings the bell, if they get their first, they tell her I don't want to go out with her anymore (not true), and when I am talking with my girlfriend, they ask her if she has fake boobs. They take my cellphone and call people with their idea of a prank phone call (shouting the alphabet or saying "we want dinner" [??]) and want me to, and I quote "teach us how to swim in the bathtub"!

ERGH!

I moved into my own apartment in August of 2006. Two weeks after I moved in, my older brother told me that he and his wife were seperating. He ask if he could stay with me for a couple of weeks and of course I said yes. Well those couple of weeks have turned into a year. I am due to have a baby boy in February 2008 and would like to be in my apartment alone, with my child and his father. Except I have no idea how to tell my brother. Does anyone know how I can tell him without hurting his feelings?

I cry every night cause I miss him and it hurts me I can't cuddle with him anymore or ever talk to him again. Everything I do reminds me of him cause we were best friends and everytime I was sad he would make me feel better and I could tell everything to him. Now I feel like I'm never gonna meet a guy like him again and I'm going to be lonely and sad. He was my first love and I was his...he left me cause he moved and hes like 2 hours away from me and the long distance relationship was too stressful for him but our plans were to move in together in 5 months... he couldn't wait for me anymore =( I can't eat I went from 110 pounds to 100, I can't sleep it's 3 am and I have been crying all night and I don't know what to do.

I have a friend who is trying to move to my area from 2 hours away. She is going through a lot right now with her mom, ex husband, and stuff like that and she thought it would be best for herself if she checked into a mental hospital for help. She left her 19 month old son with me. I love him to death and have been taking excellent care of him, but my friends mom has found out about the situation and wants to come get him. I told my friend this and she does not want her son to go with his grandmother. Can she legally take the child away from me, even though his mother wants him to be left with me? And also my friends car is at my house, but it is technically in her mothers name. Can her mother report the car stolen and get me into trouble?

My husband's grandmother passed away yesterday, and my mother in law called me to ask me to tell my husband that she died & to have him call her when he gets in from school. We've been married for almost 3 years, and the only time she ever calls me is if she wants me to do something for her, and then plays the "you're a wonderful DIL" card to guilt me into doing whatever it is. My husband calls her back, and she says she'll pay to fly him out to Pennsylvania from Dallas for the funeral, but not me because she doesn't want to spend the money on it. He points out to her that with the price she is paying for his plane ticket, she could easily buy two and even save money using priceline. She calls again today and says she just can't see how she can afford to buy my ticket. It is very obvious that she doesn't want me to go, and I am fine with that. I've tried talking to him, but he just won't believe it and keeps trying to find excuses for her. How do I deal with my husband & mother in law?

I had to make new friends last year after I lost all my old ones. Yet feel like all my new "friends" hate me. I come over to say hi after a while of not talking to a few, and they have this look on their face like I was not wanted. I then kind of dismissed myself and felt embarassed and rejected. This happens a lot with different people. Maybe I try too hard to be assertive and am actually rude and obnoxious. I feel really bad, and don't know what to do. How can I be a more likable, better friend. I want to be liked and I want to be a person that makes others feel good about themselves. How can i do this?

There are three kids in my family ... me, my brother who is engaged and my sister who is married.

When talking about getting a Christmas gift for my parents; my siblings think it is fair to split the gift three ways since they are both couples so apparently each couple counts as one person. They don't see that their thirds of the gift are actually split between two incomes and my third of the gift is only coming from ONE income so technically I am paying more money.

I know it sounds stupid and I'll pay one third either way but they are so pig headed that they don't even see where I'm coming from. I just need one person to tell me they know exactly where I am coming from.

They want me to pay $60 for a gift out of my ONE salary when they are paying $60 out of TWO salaries. There has to be something wrong with this picture.
