Family & Relationships - 5 November 2007

I feel like i just wasted 9 yrs of my life engaged( yes dumb) to a @ss who "dumped" me after he got better financially secure. So here I sit never married with no children at 37. People look at me like a have a disease when i tell them this. Dating in your late 30s is so different than when your in your 20s. My once "single" friends are all married with children and busy with "family things"(PTA/girlscout leader/soccer mom ect) It hard to even touch base with them on the phone once a month. My question is: is there anyone else out there in the same situation as me? How/where can I meet new people?

me, too, but i have this horrible urge to text him a bunch or call him, but i don't want to seem too eager. How much contact is too much? We're both 31, and have been out of the dating world for awhile...what's the protocol here?

1. Guys are more emotional then you think, if they loved you at one point, it'll take them a lot longer then you think to let you go, and it hurts every second that they try.

2. Guys may be flirting around all day but before they go to sleep, they always think about the girl they truly care about.

3. Guys go crazy over a girl's smile.

4. Guys will do anything just to get you to notice him.

5. Guys hate it when you talk about your ex-boyfriend or ex love-interest. Unless they're goin for the let-her-complain-to-you-and-then-have-her-realize-how-wonderful-and-nice-you-are method.

6. A guy who likes you wants to be the only guy you talk to.

7. Boyfriends need to be reassured often that they're still loved.

8. Guys are more emotional than they'd like people to think.

Why is it that people are having a hard time establishing relationships? If they look for love, they cant find it?

All,

My girlfriend is super jealous of my female friend. I call her or text her nearly everyday but it is platonic. I told my girlfriend about her when we got together. She is always answering my phone and assuming I am doing something. I am trying to reassure her but I am not going to give up my female friend. I knew her before my girlfriend. Seriously, she needs to chill or I am done. I am never talking about anything wrong with my female friend, she has a boyfriend anyway but my girlfriend is jealous of the time I spend with her on the phone. Is it possible for a woman to believe I have a friend and I am not doing anything. So what if I text her regularly, we are close and we like cracking jokes. Whats the deal with my girlfriend???

my husband is trying to win custody of my son by claiming that i'm mentally ill, he says i've been prescribed medications for depression in the past and that i didn't take it but that was more than a year ago and i am fine and i dont need to take any meds now, i just had an evaluation by MD that said that i don't need meds.
So how can i proof to the court that i am not mentally ill and that i am a fit parent and that in fact my husband is the unfit one? What do i have to do to get custody of my baby? Please, help with advice.

My best friend has had something going on with this guy for ages, and they started dating three years ago. We're 19 and he broke up with her earlier this year. He and I are also best friends. I hit on him when they were thinking about getting together in the first place, and because him and I are so close she's had trust issues about us ever since.

My boyfriend broke up with me earlier this year and my best friend has just started seeing someone else. I know I want to end up with my ex boyfriend. When I've tried to raise the fact I want to be with my best friend's ex with her, she gets really angry and upset. She has said now that if I really want to be with him, then I should do it, but that she doesn't want to be friends with me anymore. This makes me really angry because I don't think she has the right to feel that way now that she is seeing someone else. I haven't had much luck with boys lately, this could be my chance to move on. What do you think I should do?

This question may seem petty and stupid, but I need some advice. I am a 17 year old girl, never had a boyfriend, and I have been very upset and frustrated lately because I don't have any feelings for anyone. The last time I had a crush was when I was 14, and it was on a boy just because he was cute. I'd never even talked to him. I'm deeper than that now, but I've been frustrated that I don't have feelings for anyone. I'm pretty sure I'm not gay, but is it normal for a 17 year old girl to not have feelings for anyone? Granted that I really have no time to get to know any boys, but shouldn't I at least have some sort of a crush? Is this a normal thing? It seems like most girls like someone every day of their lives...I'm afraid I'm not capable of love or even little feelings anymore. I'm tired of being upset.
Please, a response is much appreciated. I'm sorry if this question is petty--I'm really not so petty normally--but I'm confused and upset and I want some advice or opinion. Thanks!

Ok, so maybe a guy can enlighten me because I just don't get it. My boyfriend started college this year...we're coming up on two years now. I miss him a lot and at since our schedules are both busy...usually we don't get to talk until later at night. But even then, he wants to go and play video games with his friends. I don't want to get in the way of this new experience at college for him, but it kind of stings a little. He says that video games help him deal with missing me, and I'm just thinking WHAT!? I've been replaced by video games?

I want to do something / surprise my boyfriend. No particular reason, but something simple almost. Like basically the equivalent of him sending me flowers here at work for no reason. What can I do for him?!

A little over a year ago.. i FINALLY found the guy of my dreams! He is absolutely absolutely the best thing that has ever happened to me and even over a year later every week just look at each other and say "how on earth did we get so lucky?!"- its like we never left that honeymoon stage.

Well.. im getting "older" ( i know i know.. 24 is NOT old haha.. but i finally feel like an adult. He just turned 23.. so hes a little younger.

Anyways.. my point is... i suddenly have wedding fever! I seriously CANT get married fast enough lol! Ive always been the girl who dreams about her wedding.. but now its like.. i want it to happen SOON!

We talk about marriage all the time.. but im always scared to flat out ask him "so .. how soon are you thinking"- i dont want him to feel liek im rushing him you know?

Any girls ever feel like this? Am i crazy lol? Should i approach the subject or just sit back and enjoy this great relationship?

My boyfriend and I have been dating 1 year and I know we've got a long way to go. But sometimes it's fun to talk about what we would name our kids if we had any or how many we'd want and things like that. I never say I want them now and he never says a lot about it. He'll play along, but I just hope I'm not creeping him out. Guys, is it a huge turn off to talk about kids this early on?

Tell me what you think. There is a girl that is 18 years old. She has an athlete figure with big boobs, not huge but just large. She is a very nice person and gets along with everyone. When people talk to her they tend to tell her their problems because she is a great listener. She is an athlete who has played over 3 different sports but is not buff or anything. She has a pretty face, and dresses very nicely. She gets along with everyone she comes in contact with. She also has a lot of leadershiproles such as lieutenant of the junior fire department and is involved in various activites and has commitments they are written on a calendar with a full schedule which includes 3 part time jobs and was accepted to college is definitely moving forward in life. She is very confident on the outside and stops at nothing for what she belives in. My question is why have no boys or men tried to approach her to ask her out or even ask her for her number?Guys look at her, but why don't they say anythg

I am 20 and in a relationship with a guy 5 years older than me. I live with my parents right now and my dad is being very controlling. He never talke to my boyfreind and doesn't even know him. He forbids me to see him and when I do attempt to see him my dad drives by spying on me and seeing what I am doing. I have to constantly lie to my dad and tell him I do not see him and when he does catch me he turns all my siblings and mom against me. I also recently found out that when I call my boyfriend he records the conversations and listens to what we talk about. I am very much in love with the guy I am with and at the same time my dad tells me I need to choose between him and my family. He is making my life very difficult because I don't want to dissappoint my dad either. What can be done so that I can not lose my family and be with my boyfriend? No talking to him doesn't work either, I have tried that and it just irritates him more. I appreciate any and all advice. Thank you

Im in college. Ive been seeing this girl for a month. Weve been on many dates and have made out three times and kiss and hold hands all the time. I told her I liked her and asked her how she felt about being my gf and she said in two more weeks that will be enough time for her to get to know me. She said she gets scared at the start of things but she does want something out of it. She said we moved really fast. The two weeks that she asked for has passed by yesterday and she never said anything. What should I do???
