Family & Relationships - 11 November 2007

My friends had the idea to get married on horseback, and that worked out nicely for them... the bride rode her own horse but the groom had to rent one.. it went off without a hitch (no pun intended); We are having a time planning a fantasy-themed wedding and I would like to ride down the aisle on a unicorn... preferably draft-horse sized and black ( a freisian would do nicely) any help would be great

Well I was set to have the shallow bowls with floating candles but after seeing this one... I think I might go taller instead of lower. http://www.bouquetsofelegance.com/images/Decorations/Centerpieces/c69.jpg

I like that's it's causal yet appropriate for a wedding. I would change up the flowers to match mine, and change the colors...

We are having a casual outdoor wedding with our reception at the (well appointed) hall at the fire house where my fiance is a member.

What do you think?

She started talking to this man on myspace and then mom and I found out. We talked to the man, don't get me wrong he is very nice. Then my sister told us about them dating and mom grounded her off of the internet. Escpecially after we found notes saying how shes going to be 18 and legally allowed to leave in 5 months! HELP WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!! My sister has never had a relationship of any kind and thinks that she is in love with this man. We have tried talking to her but it won't do any good. She just thinks we are the mean family who won't give a man who's 5 years younger than our mom a chance!!

There is no evidence that I've seen of him talking about having sex or anything with her.

I also don't know anyone to date her, plus there's no one in school she is interested in.

She also knows his phone number, address (he only lives a state away), everything!! He knows ours too!

My cousin Kenny is 25 years old, had a kid out of wedlock with some black girl, doesn't pay child support, doesn't work, doesn't go to school, is in and out of jail, and lives in a shack ( yes, a literal shack) behind his mom's house. Plus, he's an alcholic and a pothead. See if you can beat that.

I was in LA, on business, was food shopping, met a really cute guy, he was telling me how he does hair and if i need my hair done to come to his salon, as a nyer im always suspicious, kinda felt like he was just trying to make business, then he had asked what i was doing that night, i had plans already and told him, i was a little nervous about saying yes, i dont like saying yes right away for a date.. then his friend says "we should all hang out sometime", didnt like his friend.got a bad vibe.
Well i called the salon the next day, he didnt give me his home# or cell, they were closed.
next day i was leaving to go home.

My friend and i we're using the restroom at work and as i came out of the bathroom i smelled a really fishy odor. I sniffed around and it was coming from my friend.

No one else was in the bathroom and i told her she had a really strong fishy odor around her. She got really pissed and called me a liar blamed it on someone else and stormed out.

If the roles we're reversed i would WANT to know if i smelled badly.

So now im asking if i was wrong for telling her.

My spouse has many internet relationships with people of the opposite sex. They talk sexy, talk sex, talk about everything. He states that I shouldn't be jealous because I'm the one he's married to. He says when he talks to them, it's only words. When I ask that he stop, he states that I am treating him like a child and controlling him. He says that I've run off every girlfriend he's ever had. These relationships make me feel sick inside. He doesn't talk this sexy to me when we talk.

We are currently seperated over it, the cell phone is in my name and he doesn't have the money to cut it on in his name. I have put down the stipulation that he not call other women, while its in my name. He believes this is wrong. He also believes that I should keep the phone on, so that he can talk to his daughter...I don't think that is my responsibility. He should take that on his own.

Okay, first i want to say this is not a personal question but a general one....i have read several questions and answers on here and i am just curious......In the beginning stages of a relationship should we ( both men and women) compromise, be patient and let that someone else come to and show their feelings in their own time and way or should we stand fast with our beliefs of how we should be treated by someone whom we intend to have a relationship with?

If i have confused you as much as myself....just look at some of the answers to questions asked in singles and dating...there are almost always two very different opinions about how to handle relationship problems....1. be patient and don't worry 2. cut them loose if they don't change......

I am just curiuos which way actually is the best way to handle a situation that arises?

I have been wanting another child (we have a 5 yr old daughter) for over 2 years. Hubby said he wasn't ready, but didn't give any real reason. 2 days ago I said I needed a reason for his reluctance as this has been an ongoing issue. He finally (after me asking what the deal is for all this time) said he isn't sure if he is still in love with me. He said he does love me and always will but doesn't know if he is in love with me. Said he doesn't want to have another child and end up leaving. I am totally shocked. We have had small issues but we really get along great. We love being together, love our daughter and I thought loved our life together. He said he is confused and doesn't know if he really isn't in love any more or not. We haven't had sex in about 4 months which isn't normal for us and I KNOW he isn't having an affair. My best friend thinks I should just end it but since that talk we have been fine and he is being super nice and loving. What the heck? Should I leave?

my parents have this no dating rule...they don't want me to "mess up the same way that they did" so they want me to court. it's really embarresing when a guy (especially one that i like) asks me out and have to try and explain why i can't date. i don't want to go behind their backs because i alrealy tried that one and i was grounded for a whole summer. but there's this guy that i really like right now and a couple of my friends have given me a heads up that he is going so ask me out. so i don't know what to say because right now he has no idea and he's going to think i'm crazy when i have to tell him...i'm almost 16, it's not like i'm 11...i'm just frusterated

My parents always told me to never marry any guy that's younger than me since the faster I get old, the faster he'll leave me for a much younger woman (meaning that he'll leave me once I get old since majority of men prefer to have younger women). Is it true?

I'm 22, but I like a guy that's 18. I'm still hesistant to go out with him due to our age differences. Should I even give him a chance?

I have been going to my friends home for the holidays over the past 4-5yrs. My husband and all the family would meet at her house. Though, over the past 2yrs. I have had an issue w/ her husband. To the point where I feel uneaasy around him. My friend is aware too of the reason as to why her spouse and I have some issues. I want very much to spend the holidays w/ her and her kids, but dont feel at ease knowing he will be there. I dont wish to spend the holidays alone, my fiance will be working all day...I know if I try to explain my feelings, she may kindly ask me to "get over it" for the sake of the holidays. Do I spend the holidays alone or put myself somewhere I dont wish to be?

Info: This girl I really like at my job. I work with her about 3 times a week. I think this girl likes me too, she takes different looks at me when I'm not looking. She touches my shoulders and always talks to me just about anything. She even gave away a secret about her private life. She smiles at me when I talk to her, I also smile at her and enjoy talking to her. I am a 17 year old as a junior in highschool, she is a18 year old as a freshmen in college.
Question: The problem I faced today at work, I was invited over to my one friends house, some other people were going to be there, we were going to watch this one really cool movie thats new on dvd. Me and the girl I like finish work at 8 PM. I also knew my friend wouldnt mind if I brought someone over or anything. So I asked her if she was busy that night, she said "no" and I asked her if she wanted to come over and see the movie with us, she said "no thanks Im kindve tired tonight"
Does this mean she doesnt want to go out with me?

What do you think of the 3 day rule - when you hang out with a girl but doesn't call you or waits until you call...usually 3 days later. Do you prefer her to call? And how soon after? I don't want to seem clingy

I've been talking to this guy online, we've traded pictures and we have discussed that I enjoy being nude a great deal. We are planning a meeting, and he wants me to be naked when we meet. He knocks on my door, I answer naked, he then comes in and removes his coat and he is naked to. He said that we could spend a non sexual evening to gether naked, have dinner and maybe watch a movie (not porno). I would really love to do this, but don't know if I really should try this. Please help me decide.

I like this guy for who he is, and he is the most sweetest man that I've ever known. I'm also a feminist so it says a lot coming from me. I've always had this "father-daughter" complex, and I've "hated" men every since. I believe in equality and good in all people, but for me, there's always something about men that just tick me off.

Here's the gist: the guy I've been seeing or getting to know better is a real sweetheart and we have a lot in common, especially value-wise, intelligence, and we're both pretty creative. We have different hobbies but that's not always such a bad thing, right? Anyways, hes really sweet and he knows how to respect a girl and how to care for her. The thing is, I don't know if I'm physically attracted to him. I think he's "adorable" and I still squeal at times when I think about him; yet I'm also scared. We haven't had our first kiss and we both don't want to rush...yet, he already said that he REALLY likes me...and twice. Why aren't I that attracted to him?

About 6 months ago my husband and I almost broke up due to his possesiveness (didn't like me to have friends and go anywhere by myself) and his verbal abuse, I was very much in love with him but his behavior (which almost drove me to a nervous breakdown) seems to have killed the love I had for him.
Because we had a 2 year old daughter I decided to give him a chance to make it better, we went and saw a councillor and alot of things have really improved.
But my problem now is that I find myself very attacted to a mutual friend of ours who is also unhappy in his marriage and he too has a young daughter.
The situation is driving me crazy I try to stay away from him but I can't stop thinking about him and it is really affecting my being able to be intimate with my husband because I no longer find him attractive.
I don't want to be cause of breaking up two families but I am so unhappy. I just don't know what to do.

Obviously, I am no longer attracted to her and I can not fake it, even with porn. Why doesn't she understand that being 115 was part of the package and it wasn't alright to let herself go? (All guys think this way...they just won't admit it for fear of being disliked)
Please,no ChubbyChaser responses.

According to Joy Behar, women should not let a man know that she is funny because men want to be the funny one in a relastionship. She also said that a funny woman can't make Mr. Happy hard. Is there any truth to the aforementioned statements?
