You want a fairly small wedding but have a HUGE family?

If I invite everyone we'll be in debt for life, but I feel pressured to invite everyone because it's a fairly close-knit family. People who I wouldn't invite to my wedding DO get invited to my sister's baby showers, etc., and all went to my siblings' weddings. (we're talking 2nd cousins...) I want to invite who I want to invite but I don't want to insult anyone. What would you do?

If a husband and a wife both love their own and each others families equally (and they live very far apart), and they want to live with ONE so they can at least be near some family, do you think it would be better to live with the wife/mother's family or the husband's family?? I know this is a hard question...but without any complications (and knowing we want to have kids), what do you think?

So since she got this position she makes like 50k, and al she did was tech school. So now she got a new car and thats all she talks about and material objects. I am really fed up because I am still in RN school and working very hard but broke. I feel we dont have much in common anymore, she acts like she is better than me because of being an "tech" and working w/ doctors.

I am 22 and he is 26
Ok, I know I may be over reacting right now. We have sex maybe once every 2 weeks but its like "making a quota sex"
My husband and I were dating for 2 years married 7 months I was a virgin the WHOLE time. Now him on the other hand he has been having sex since the age of 14. He had just decided to become celebate a couple months before he met me which was great for me because I wanted to WAIT. Anyway. I don't know how any of you were when you started having sex. But I want that stuff ALL THE TIME! I am willing to do it any time, any where, any way he wants. I just want to give him pleasure. I get pleasure by his pleasure. I could go to bed with no close on and still that doesn't excite him. I have to coax him into the mood. He could care less if I wear lingere. I am in great shape by the way with abnormal breast sizes everything a man could ever want! It wasn't always this way even though we weren't having sex the temptation was always there. HELP!

I am 32 years old and met a single 40 year old man with no children and we hit it off really well. He calls me and we talk for hours but this happens when he is up for it. We have known each other for 2 months and since then have been on about 4 dates. I have not had sex with him although he has shown me his strong desire to have sex with me. We have come close just things didn't fall into place. He will call me back, flirt with me, tell me how unique, fun, special that I am and how I will make a great wife and mother...etc. This is the weird behavior...Every time I pull back and decide to write him off that is when he becomes more attentive, When I have tried to discuss it with him he finds ways to deflect the conversation and then “hides” for a few days or week. I do give him space. I am sure the he is just not into me is the answer but since he is not getting sex from me and I have tried to let him go twice....why does he try to come back? What is this about?

I really need some help. I don't want to sound like a drama queen here, but I can't stand my family. Both of my sisters (and only siblings) had moved out by the time that I turned 12 to go to college, and that was when my dad quit his job. Don't get me wrong, my mom can support the family well enough on her own, but he is ALWAYS home. He micromanages my life, one of my sisters is COMPLETELY weird (like she believes in faries weird), and the other one can't seem to stop putting me down. My mom is hardly ever home, and when she is she pretends that she knows me better than all of my friends (and believe me, she doesn't). It's been 2 years since my sisters moved out, and it's gotten to the point that I hardly even talk to my parents anymore, even when they ask me questions. I get so annoied of tehm that my only answer will be a grunt or mumble. I can't find anything to connect with my family on, and i feel retarded confronting them on it. I'm not trying to be a drama queen. Please help.

My husband & I already married civilly. For financial reasons, we are having our big white wedding with bridesmaids & flowers, cake & out of town guests in August 2008.

What do we call this on the invites? Is this a 'second marriage'? A renewal of vows? I want to walk down the aisle, but is this inappropriate now that I'm already married? The "wedding" will look and feel like a real marriage - I will have a band, big cake, flowers, dancing... but how do I present this event to my guests?

It is okay if they know we are already married, but I do not want to take away from the "magic" of the big day.

Thanks!

We're close to 50, and it seems like I'm always horny, but my wife's desire has waned considerably over the last 8 years. We're down to maybe once a month.

I just got out of a physically abusive relationship where my husband said of all the women he has been, I was the ONLY one he was physical to. I highly do not believe him. I think he has done it before. What do you think? Like cheaters, once an abuser, always an abuser????

I divorced my ex-wife 6 years ago. She got pregnant with some other guy, ruined me financially and left.

We have shared physical and legal custody. I have them Saturday morning through monday morning every week.

I have made my kids the focus of my life after the divorce. I volunteer when I can at their school, work with them on their school work. I don't hate my ex, but she always treats me like a second class parent. My kids have even say commented on it (I go out of my way to tell my kids that their mom really is not like that and they probably just misunderstand her when she whines about me....) I also back her up when I hear how she punishes them for something even if I disagree with it.

She always seems to go out of her way to spite me. This weekend I am taking the kids to NYC. I was not planning on returning until Sunday afternoon, but she bullied me into dropping them off at 8:30am for a picture appt she scheduled without asking me first.

Why oh why?

we have been married 1.5 years and in the begining she always wanted it and would start the act, now she wont hint about it or act like she even wants me. We have had a past of me doing drugs while she was drinking and alot of abuse and fighting went on but its over and she cant let the past go. I try to start over new and yet she still holds on to the bad times and the bad things i have done to her and doesnt see the good i have done or the changes i have tried to do to make her happy again. She is very bitter and her attitude tells it when she speaks to me even if i have done nothing wrong she is still angry with me. What do i do to help her forget the past and work on our future...I ask her to do things i want and i will do the things she wants..and i do them for a while and she doesnt do her part so i get mad and go back to my old antics....help me

this guy i am seein, cheated on me and never told me. After he cheated, he never told me. He tattoed my name on his back and said he will tattoo forever and always underneath it. He then gave me a lot of money for school. He said he will never cheat again. He even put me in his will before he went over seas to Iraq. But here's the catch, he got the woman pregnant which is his ex or should I say his kid's mother. He said he only wants me and it was a mistake. Should I trust him not to cheat after all the effort he has showed me that he is sorry? I forgave him.

My mother in law is like the bad dream that wouldn't end. My husband and I thought we had seen it all when it came to her. But recently she sent some sort of greeting card or what have you to someone and it's been getting around. I didn't want to be petty and get back at her but this has been going on for 2 years and he and I can't stand it. Could you guys please help us find a card, funny comic or anything you can think of to help us. She's gone too far and it's really past the point of annoying. I can't believe she's this old and still has nothing to do with her time. I wish I could be sorry for doing it this way but I'm not. He and I have too many other things so worry about. I appreciate your help in advance.

Hope y'all can help us.
