Family & Relationships - 17 November 2007

My cousin who is 11 years old has separation anxiety. She is staying over our house for the weekend, and she can't stop crying when she gets off the phone with her mom. Her parents are on their anniversary. Her mom always takes her side, and she treats her like a baby. I don't know what to do. She won't listen to anyone either. Her mom doesn't want to go to a phyciatrist (don't know if I spelled it right). I really need some advice!! I don't know what to do or how to help her. She goes to school, but she doesn't have many friends, and she gets along more with her little sister's friends! Please give me some advice! Thank you!

Is he into me or just being friendly? I work at a restaurant in the airport and he works in a coffee place not too far down from where I work in the airport as well. I get off work before him and I have to walk by where he works to get out of the airport. He will always see when I walk by and call me in to the coffee shop and make me a free drink. Or he'll come by my workplace and visit other co-workers but always makes sure that I acknowledge his presence while he's there.

I like this girl who told me the other day let's have a cup of coffee sometime. She doesn't know I really have a crush on her. I don't want her to know that I have a crush on her. This might scare her off. What should I do?

I have worked hard for over 20 yrs and want my mum to come and stay with me in Australia. I would fully support her. I don't meet the balance of family guidelines but there are only 3 of us.

...she seems to be in a pretty serious relationship. I've liked her for many years now, but just in the last couple months we've become really good friends. I've got a girlfriend but now that im good friends with this other girl i tend to think about the other girl more. Despite her being in a pretty serious relationship i cant stop thinking about her. Is there any hope in this other girl, or am i just kidding myself?

When my husband was 17, he had a child with a girl he was dating. They never married or anything. When this child was born, he and the girl both signed away their parental rights and her parents legally adopted the baby. My husband doesn't pay child support but so far, he's gotten to see his son anytime he wanted.

Both of the grandparents(adopted parents) are getting older and are right sickly. My husband has told me that if anything happens to them that his son will come live with us. He doesn't want the child's mother to have any contact with him. However, I have serious doubts that the grandparents would leave custody of the child to my husband over the child's mother (their daughter).

I guess my real question is: Does my husband have any legal right to a child he's been a father to, but he legally gave up for adoption?

my live in boyfriend has been spending more and more time with the T.V. and not enough time with me. We have been together for 4 years but living together for 3 and it seems as if the romance is only in our relationship if I bring it our complain about the lack of it.

I don't want to become those type of women that nag but I have been communicating how I feel and he agrees that he is wrong and that he will work on this "problem" but after a week of correcting himself he'll just go right back into his routine.

Any suggestions, ideas or should I just end this relationship and save us both the headaches that seem to be arising out of this "problem"

There is a bartender I've been liking for awhile now, and we flirt and mirror each other, and do the other body language things. I went to his bar last night. The girl that works there saw me outside and hugged me and told me he was off last night. She acted like maybe I shouldn't go in. But I went in anyway, and two guys that work there were really teasing me saying things like Oh, where is he? hahaha...I felt really sad, so I just stayed for one drink and left. I went to the bathroom and the girl who works there went in after me and asked me if they were teasing me or something when I came out of the stall. I am so sad. When I left, one of the guys there said to me again Where is he...where is he...teasing me and bothering me. whatever...i am very sad. The guy I like is the manager of the place, too.

I have been dating a guy for 16 months. We are really serious and want to get married sometime. Right now I am living with a family and I don't like it. I am wanting to move out and get my own place, so I can have more privacy. I have have lived with these people for over year. They have two kids and they get really annoying. Anyway. I told my boyfriend 2 to 3 months ago, that if I didn't know for sure that I was getting married next year, and I gave him until Dec. 31st 2007 to decide if he wanted to get married or not then I was moving out and moving in my own place. He wants me to continue living where I am because it is rent free. I feel that he has been dating me long enough to decide if he wants to get married or not. There is no reason we can't. He says it will save us money so when he decides that we can get married we will have extra money saved up. He has been telling me he loved me since a month after we first started dating. Was I wrong to put a time limit on it?

Some say the size of his feet, some say the size of his hands or fingers (long, thick, etc). Are these true/false? Any other indicators? Please share.

Question 4 girlz?
I've known this girl for 2 yrs and i've liked her 4awhile now and I know she likes me becuz...
- she would stay up late to talk to me even if we argued
- she said she missed me during the summer
- she emails me & IM's me a lot
-she actually asked me whether i'd consider her to be my g/f

Oh wait... She chose her cheating-doesnt go to school or have a job, jerk b/f over me...a girl whom I confided with , was there for her through thick & thin...& I can't believe shes going back to her ex...why do girls do this! I don't care if im "Just friends" with her but the fact that she lead me on and did this speaks alot of how her character is..if anything I said she can do better with other guys that she has more potential in herself to succeed at anything & yet she doesn't listen

i kinda told her to have a nice life and take this fabricated illusion she calls a friendship & shove it

What does it mean when a guy who is a little drunk, and who never ever would say anything like this normally, says " you know you love me"? I said he was being annoying, and he says that, with his arm linked through mine, dragging me back to the party.
He never shows any kind of emotion like that normally. I just thought it was weird, seeing as only my bestie has ever said that to me.

kk well my problem is that i am feeling so sad and im not sure why.

it kinda started a few weeks ago cause i honestly believe that me and my girlfriend are ready to go the next level (not sex). we havnt done anything and its been just under half a year. im not one of those guys to pressure, in fact ive been told by may women that they wish their bf was like me. anyway i thought we had the trust and comfort to do stuff. she disagrees.

there is also the fact that i undetrstand most women except my gf. i never seem to know what she is thinking or feeling.

and then there is also the fact that she wont drink more than 1 drink unless she is not with me (and its cause she thinks that what happens in movies is true)

and we have the same friends. most of them are women. every month my gf organizes a girls night and it bothers me because she is saying every friend of hers except me can go and also she gets really excited about this night and never gets excited like that for out dates

My family members hate me so much & they're all trouble-making & conniving & when I explain to them that I don't like the way they're treating me, they say I'm starting trouble. They do everything they can to annoy me & don't care how I feel & they don't care about my disability & they get their rocks off of psychologically torturing me. I try to work things out with them but they get worse & worse. Outsiders like counselors & social workers tell me I'm a fool for dealing with them & that I'm putting my hand back in the fire.

I hae no one to turn to for support & my family members lie to me & lie about me & they do't trust me because of lies & rumors being spread. Why don't I have a right to deal with my family? I'm all alone & my family likes to emphasize on my problems & weaknesses & not my strengths. They don't like the fact that I'm a goody 2-shoes with a college degree under my belt & tey're jailbirds, drunks, & druggies who try to ruin my life & tear me down. I have no one.

I have been dating my boyfriend for 5 months and ya know how at 1st everything is so exciting because its new? well at 1st we called and texted eachother ALOT but now its every other day that we talk and he gets mad at me because he wants to know why i dont call him that much anymore and its because when i DO call him he doesnt answer and when i DO leave a message it takes him forever to return the damn call ...So i basicly just stopped calling him and now sometimes when he calls me its at 1 or 2 in the morning ... Im guessing that he must be talking with some other females but whatever ...What do u think?

I think it's silly, I mean I know it's a "sin." But hell, many things are and you don't hear or see people getting a slap in the face about it. I think it's okay if you're truly, honestly in love with somone and plan on being with them. Having random, meaningless sex is wrong in my opinion, but I was curious about everyone elses thoughts.
