Family & Relationships - 19 November 2007

My mum and dad have been together for over 25 years, happily unmarried.
I don't plan to get married, but of course over time my views may change.
Marriage isn't what it used to be, and if I were ever proposed to I'd let my guy know, "Okay of course I'll marry you but I will never give you a divorce."
Is that crazy?
I dunno I just don't think I need a piece of paper to show my boy that our love is forever you know?
And I don't believe in divorce, hate the word and what it stands for.

Anyway just curious to know other peoples opinions.

What do you think of a 17 year old girl falling for and soon getting married to a 18 year old guy?

been together for a year and 9 months, and couldn't be happier.\

My grandma just recently passed on. We have issues what to do with all her old cloths, shoes, hats. We value my grandma very much, but we have to clean out her house, and we don't know what to do with cloths dated back to the 1950's.

Are there any websties that we could sue to determine the value if any of old cloths, and stuff.

I'm looking at having a Christmas time wedding next year. I'm not a huge fan of traditional wedding "stuff" but love everything Christmas and am looking to incorporate this as much as possible. I'm wondering if anyone has any fun ideas to share. We are also Irish and are incorporating this as well. We are not the dancing type, so anything avoiding pop music/DJ's is key. Some of my ideas have been to have couple areas where people can do fun stuff like make gingerbread people or whatever anyone suggests. I hate weddings where everyone just sits at their tables. Getting people up is my main thing!

Is it getting harder and harder to find a good guy with a job and his stuff together?

My boyfriend of 2 years recently proposed, and he bought the engagement ring (of course!). So, now what?

Do I buy his wedding ring (traditionally-speaking)?

I just started working at a new job, great right! Well their is this lady that has really latched on to me, she an older lady (late 50's) it started out she'd come sit with me during lunch and we'd talk, then she started giving me advise then she started saying that she's my mentor, I've noticed that no one talks to her, the reason is she's crazy- she always snapping out on people ( I witness it twice) and she gossip a lot, she has not did anything to me but I think it would be best to disassociate myself from her, how would you go about doing it or would you?

First: I DONT want to take revenge upon someone, in fact i'm single. I'm just asking something for curiosity. I dont like hurting people...
Ok. suppose that ur in-laws are really bad with u and with ur spouse, that they only want money, not even a call to ask if u are ok, they just call when they need money, other wise, they forget about ur spouse and u. Suppose that they lie, create gossip, etc. they are really bad. How do u take revenge if u could? In a creative way plz, thanks.

I have a brother that is 12 years younger than me. He has 3 kids and a sweet wife.

Whenever my 10yo son plays with his children, who are a bit younger. They horse around or get into spats like boys do and my brother gets mad at my son and then threatens him. In the past he has said "Im going to kill you" "Stay away from my son, dont go near him" and then kicked him out of my parents house. My son was devestated. Just yesterday, he said "You better knock it off, or else Im going to come and smack down on you and you wont like it" - I dont know exactly what my son did. They were all playing and seemed if they were having fun. My brother didnt tell me at any time that my son was misbehaving. He just took it upon himself to discipline my son.

This makes me very uncomfortable. I dont really think that he would harm my son (though Im not totally sure) but I would never threaten to physically harm a child - not my own, certainly not anyone elses!

I'm getting married in 3 weeks and we didn't hire a wedding coordinator. Who usually coordinates the wedding procession for the ceremony in this situation? The only weddings I've ever been in or to have hired someone to help. Is there a particular person other than a coordinator (DJ, minister) that is supposed to do this? Any help is appreciated! :c)

So I'm having trouble with the big O. This guy I'm seeing is really rough in bed, and I don't really like that. I can't ever have the big O with him and he gets mad. I have told him several times to be genital, but he has done nothing to change. Like he's not even listening. How else can I tell him, or should I just break it off now?
Regards,

I just started dating an ex of mine, he is an ex because he cheated on me. Anyway, we go out on the weekends and I see guys that I know and I will leave him sitting there and go talk to my guy friends. I just do it to make him jealous and it works. It makes him really really mad and this past weekend when we went to a bar where we live close to I saw a guy friend and went and talked him for like 45 mins. and my guy went up to the bar, even though he was the one who was suppose to drive home and started takin a bunch of shots and got a little tipsy. He was very upset. Do you think it is ok to do this to him. I mean, I really do love him and want to be with him more than anything but should I really be doing this on purpose?? Why is he getting mad after what he did to me??

I don't mind people being rude at church because that's just who they are but when it interferes with my praying or trying to be silent, and it goes on for too long it's just sad.
There was this family of a father and 3 teenagers who came in late and I had to get up for them--20 minutes late. O.k. Fine, then another daughter comes in later, and then the kids giggle, laugh, text message on the cell, and hit each other on the back after Holy Communion, and so forth.....

I was raised to be good at Holy Mass, pay attention, and act as if I was in God's House with reverence.
After I told this family politely: "We are in God's house and should be reverent not acting like it's your home playground."
The family looked at me so shocked and mortified, and went out with such shame.
I was taught not to say anything to rude people but this continued the whole time of Mass and it was right next to me.
Your thoughts, please.

My brother's girlfriend is coming to Thanksgiving dinner and it's not a secret that I hate her and the feeling is mutual. My parents think she's really nice and cares about my brother but she's only with him because he is a star athlete in college and I can see right through her and she knows it. My parents invited her without thinking of what I think! They just said if my boyfriend can come then so can his girlfriend but there is a difference my guy is actually NICE and cares about me and she is just a shallow groupie girl who needs to go home for Thanksgiving! We have a small family so it will be hard to avoid her. I was thinking of just going with my boyfriend to some restaurant that serves Thanksgiving dinner instead but I know that will hurt my mom. What would you do?
