Family & Relationships - 14 November 2007

BACKGROUND INFO:
1. Me and Boyfriend have been together for 8 months
2. We’ll be engaged soon- married next year( He has
bought the ring and yes I have seen it ;-)
3. I make three times more than him……..
4. He asked me for money about 20 times- 10 of those
times were for necessary expenses which I have helped out but had to rough it a little without the money. The other 10 times were for unnecessary expenses like an I.POD, T.V. Clothes

Problem:
He feels there's nothing wrong with asking me for money..

and

I feel offended and irritated because he should be able to live off what he earns.

Please answer any one or all of the following:

How do I explain to my boyfriend that continually asking me for money and material things is offensive and irritating?

What's the difference between asking and begging?

Do you think there's something wrong with a guy that continually asks a woman for money?

i have found a nice place to have my wedding at and they provide the food , cake cutting , linnes , a place to get maried, glasses , they will take care of flowers when they arive , a room to get ready in for groom and bride. its a little expensive like 30 dollars a plate . all together it would be like 3000 .second choice to have it at a nice hall somewhere where they dont provide nothing . i would have to buy food and linnes , toasting glasses ect .the grooms mom thinks it would be cheaper doing it all myself.

Today me and my best friend were having a conversation and she asked me if i thought she was spoiled? I told her the truth and she didn't take it very well. Alot of people say she is spoiled because her mother buys her everything but, i told her not to worry about what other people think and thank god her mother helps her. Unlike me who has to work to get everything on their own. I told her to enjoy it it s her mother why should she be hurt. Of course your mother is goinging to look out for you Now she thinks that boys dont want to date her because she is spoiled. Why wouldnt a man want to date a spoiled girl?

(my parents).. ok so i never drank in high school, mostly because my friends didn't either. now i go to a party college and i do drink with my new friends on weekends (but responsibly). i'm not sure if my parents know or how to tell them.. the only reason i feel like it's a big deal is because
a). my twin brother lives close to home. he is more 'innocent' and i influence him, and i don't want to influence him to drink or anything. (he is a little depressed and also has aspergers, mild form of autism)
b). my older brother is a recovered addict- of alcohol and pot. he was never like on the streets or anything, but now he is weird about drugs and alcohol. not weird, but he tends to think everyone is going to become an addict.

so advice? it feels like such an awkward situation.

If you were a complete and utter *** to your finace because you said mean things and he stated it would better that you didn't see him for the 10 days that you planned to visit. Because this is not the first, second, or third time you were mean to him and used your tongue to be harsh.

Oh and if you did visit him he stated to you he wouldn't see you, and he mentioned that it wasn't over you just needed to work out a couple of things,....

Would you have......

Went to see him anyway even if he said he was so angry he didn't want to see you, because of the off chance he would have changed his mind?

What would you have done????

Question : 1

Go visit your best friend who lived on a tropical island that you haven't seen for over a year and she had a new baby.

By the way I choose to see my friend who just had the baby.

2nd Question;

Even if he said it wasn't over, is it really over and is he letting me down easy?

So my question is..
Is there a website that has examples of wedding poses? Or does anyone have any great ideas?
I already have my list made up but I would like something other than just standing beside one another

sweating and out of breath; these guys are in nothing but jeans. shirts and beaters thrown on the ground because it's so hot. they're loading heavy boxes and racks of old clothes onto a truck for the drama team. they're performing a play in another city.

one of them looks up as he gets off the bus and this girl is staring at his chest. she smiles and winks, then keeps walking. he sees her around at school but she never initiates conversation and doesn't notice him. she smiled at him once, but he's noticed her smile at other strangers in the same friendly, approachable manner.

Guys, if this was you, what would you think?
What would you think about the girl and her intentions?

I mapped out my life down to the smallest detail. I planned to major in education, marry at 21 and have two kids (a boy & girl). I'm so stubborn that it took me years to realize that I'm not driving this car, no matter how well I outlined the map.

I haven't been alone with him in a few years. I just happened to see him today and we talked for about an hour. He held my hand and told me that he missed me and thought about me often. Before we parted ways, he kissed me. It was one of those kisses you feel from head to toe. I love him more than I've ever loved anyone before. I miss him everyday. But, it seems that everytime something starts up again with us, it doesn't work out. I know I'm going to get sucked in again. It happens everytime. It's like I have an addiction when he's involved. How do I keep from getting my heart broken again?

This other girl and me have been best friends until I moved away some time when I was in middle school. We're still GREAT friends. She's very nice, and has TONS of friends in school. And I mean TONS, and TONS. She's sooo popular (in a good way)...She has over almost 700 friends on facebook, and she's just so outgoing and talkative.
Me on the other hand...I'm quiet and shy, and while I do have friends and I talk to the people in my class, I don't talk to EVERYONE (the way she does), and I don't have a ton of friends. I have 100 something friends on facebook. I would like to talk to more people, though.

And I feel bad because I'm so quiet and shy. I mean, I still have a great time with my friends, but I just dont mix with a whole lot of people--the way she does. And it seems as if I can't change.
how can I stop feeling so bad about myself just be happy?

Every year I do this theatrical concert performance. There's this guy who is in it as well, who's parents are friends with my parents. However he is very egoistic, has a wierd domineering attitude, thinks he's better than all the other guys, etc..... To make the story short, got in an argument with him and then he sends me a really offensive nasty e-mail saying that him and everyone else thinks I act like a snob and that I should watch my mouth or else. He thinks he could take me out on a fight. But really, this guy is shorter than I'am, skinny, doesnt know how to fight, and hardly works out at the gym. I've been training for years in Taekwondo and lift heavy weights at the gym five days a week. Personally, I could take this guy out with one punch or a combination move. How do you think this situation should be handled ???

Ok. I have been married for 7 years with my husband for 10. About 3 years ago things started to fall apart. I found out he was talking to girls all the time at all hours. He was gone all the time "working" and then one night he came home drunk and hit me many times. We have been separated every since about 5 months. We are currently going through the divorce process and are getting close to the end. My problem is that I still love him, even after all of it. Am I stupid or should I consider not going through the divorce? I feel like the victim, and he took away everything. He has asked to come back many times which I said no. But when I look at him I do feel so sad and miss him. What do I do?

it's not me or anything. but my bro is going through a really bad divorce, and his soon to be ex wife (WHO CHEATED ON HM WITH THE GUY SHE IS WITH NOW) is trying to find any reason to screw him over as much as possible. she had an investigator go over to her apartment and check out their computer. the porn was looked up AFTER he moved out of that apartment. but since the computer is registered in his name, it's getting pinned on him. she also has a new boyfriend living with her, which is illegal now anyway since they are not divorced yet and have a 3 year old daughter. how, if we can, do we prove that it wasn't my bro? if he gets this all pinned on him, he will lose what little custody he already has of his daughter. what do we do?

My husband had an affair 2 months before we got married and it continued for 1 yr after we got married. I of course did not find out until the day before we had our first child. I left for a few weeks but we decided to try and make it work. It has been a hellacious ride ever since. I just don't think I will ever love or trust him again. It'll be 3 yrs in may 08 and he hasn't done anything since then, well that I know of, and he's joined the army and is trying to do all the right things. I love him but I don't love him like I use to. My mind is always filled with unwanted thoughts of him cheating on me again or leaving me and our two girls, after I have sacraficed even more of my life trying to make it work. I'm scared that I will finally let my guard down and he will do it again. And sometimes I just don't get why I stayed and I want to leave. Does anyone have any advice. I feel so lost and confused, i just don't feel like myself anymore. I'd appreciate any input. Thanks.

Was she up at the crack of dawn daily shooting thousands of jump shots to become the best ever at her craft?

I mean seriously, 168 million!?

Wow

On the other hand, maybe Mike deserved the penalty for being dumb enough to marry that breezy without a prenup.

I love the look of an hourglass figure and I think tht I do have one because I have a butt and boobs but my friends always say I'm so skinny so I feel like i dont have a body then. I am 5'5 113Ibs measurements 34c-24-37. Does this sound curvy to you please only for those who know about measurements! Does this sound like I have big hips for my size? I like big hips on women so I wont take offense. I am not a young girl I'm in my twenties.
