Family & Relationships - 1 December 2007

back in 2004, a 54 years old father of 3 decided to have a romantic relationship with an escort who was 25 years old. the proposal given by the escort (commercial sex worker) was a scholarship to a nursing course, an apartment, a generous allowance and intermittent sex service. she strongly encouraged the man not to leave the family as she did not like to destroy a marriage ! ?
the wife did not agree to the proposition, and when things went rough she brought the case to court. she demanded an allowance for the kids and asked the court to protect her and the kids from violence of all forms.
the court decided in favor of the wife and kids but instead the husband elevated the case to the appelate court.
a few months later, while waiting for the desicion of the appelate court, the man had a mild stroke, his business crashed and wanted to return to the wife and kids.

When a friend of mine and I disagree, she becomes sooky and plays the silence game until I phone her and apologize, regardless of whether I did anything wrong. In the past I have overlooked this & called Miss Stubborn anyway to keep the peace, but it's started to bug me that she never recognizes her part in our disagreements. Last year I made a trip to the other side of the country where Miss Stubborn lives, but stayed with another friend of mine who I'd been planning on staying with for ages. I contacted Miss Stubborn and let her know that I'd arrived in her city and would love to catch up sometime. I could tell she was annoyed that I'd chosen to stay with someone else, but given that Miss Stubborn was in the middle of moving house, I thought it'd be best for me not to stay with her. I told Miss Stubborn how long I'd be in her city for & suggested she contact me when she was free- she never did & we haven't spoken since. Should I let her sort out her issues or give her a call?

My mom is wonderful and I just want her to be happy. She's been through bad relationships and I just want her to meet someone really nice to make her believe that there are still good guys out there. Have you ever been in this situation? Any tips? thanks!

My inlaws are nasty people. My husband has finally started sticking up for us and now they have disowed us. My father inlaw rang up and very rude so my husband rang him back and said that he needs to appogise to me. He told another family member that he will never appolgise to me his pride is worth more. He told me to stay away from their family functions cause i said for him to reconsider coming to my husband and daughters and my birthdays cause he has a problem with my family and i am sick and tired of having parties and being uncomfortable cause of them. My mother inlaw came he twice when my husband was here and didn't say a word. When she finally got me alone she was very nasty. She said she can't stand my family, that the way their son behaves towards them is because of me. That i'm behind the way he feels. that where all jealous of the her other son and daughter. Another family member kept telling us that they where jealous of us. We are the victims of her son & his girfriend visous behaviour. HIs girlfriend would say nasty things to our two year old daughter (psycho) say shes doing things when shes not. having parties and inviting the whole family and leaving me out. Telling me that there is not enough food for us when at the inlaws. A cousin tells us everthing that she says about us; that she is jealous etc.I know that the cousin really plays us agaist eachother and lies. i told my mother inlaw when she was fighting with me about that and she said that i lesson to to much gossip. i also caught them out in lies and she was denying evrything i was saying. how can you do that? She was calling me a lier but i had to refrain from calling them a lair even though i had proof. I said to my mother inlaw that i am sick of her always snapping at me. she said that she snapps at me because she works not like me who sits at home with my legs up in the air. hows that? we are not dependent on them at all. where as her son and his girl friend are.

My sons dad was my first love, my first everything. We have been togeather sence I was 15 and I am now 26. the last five years has been on and off because he has been abusive, but he said it was because I was using drugs, wich I was the hard ****. I know that is know exuse for him hitting me but he says he is was going to change and so far he hasn't hit me four a year but is still sometimes verbally abusive. I guess I am addicted to him, and the sex is good so I stay in it. How do I know if I really do want to make this work and try again? cause sometimes I really do , and then sometimes I don't. Confused and tired that I can not make up my mind.

Has anyone tried the new kind of guestbooks that are available these days, or did you go for the traditional guest book?

I found this website selling guestbooks which are engraved instead of the traditional paper ones.

Should I go with one of the new ones, or the traditional one, or perhaps both?

so theres this guy, i'll call him jake. jake's best friend asked me out last year, and i said no. jake's best friend has now moved away and his best friend and i have had a really big fight.

anyways lately ive talked to jake more. at first i thought he hated me, because he had sent me this proof about how ppl are evil after the first time we met on msn. so i was really scared, thought he hated me. then when i asked him about this lately, he said he just wanted to make me laugh..and also he tells me not to wear too short clothes cuz i'll catch a cold, cheers me up when im down, and hes told me one of his secrets that he said he has only told one other person.

.but then he told me last week that there was this girl he likes who is moving away soon..which is not me.

recently he sent me a :( face later, and i asked him why..he said cuz i didnt wave at him..and i dunno how to interpret him....

This is a ridiculous question, but my seven friends and me got really sugar-high and we started thinking about random "rap names" like my friend Chrissy was Chrissy-crunk and we can't find something to go with Dia or Klaus.

Stupid question, I know. We're not like all serious over the names, we just wanna see if anyone could think of anything.

In 1989 I joined the Navy and went to Hospital Corpman school. While i was there I met a girl named Lana, We were just friends but we had a great connection. We never made out but the one time we were about to kiss, someone walked in on us. We were at the school for about three months when the Navy sent us in differnt directions, she gave me her mothers address to write her and I put it in my sea bad and I left it at the front desk as I walked her back to her dorm. When I returned i checked for the address she gave me and it was gone. I was never able to find her again until now which is almost 17 years later, but I never forgot her. I am married now and I have her address and phone number and I was wondering should I call and would that be cheating. She showed me how a man is suppose to feel and what it feels like to be respected and loved in a way beyond the physical.What do I do?

-taunts me
-sometimes laughs at me for no reason
-takes interest in my personal life when she knows it is doing bad and asks me how life is treating me
-when am asked a question in the class she answers for me before i do ( she doesn't do this for anyone else though)

i have felt she is interested in knowing me better as she has asked many a times to introduce her to my wife but when i told we were separated she called up to complain about her husband.


she's a nice girl and i wish i had a friend like her but if her actions can be termed as advances, she really scares me as she is also married and i don't want more trouble.
