Family & Relationships - 13 December 2007

I have a family member that is always doing something great. At least they make it look like that. They always brag about their great adventures and how well their life is going. Then after they do that they look at me and ask me a question, i answer and they just look at me with this blank look on their face and say 'oh'. Are they really trying to make it look like their life is wonderful and mine sucks or am i just insecure because I dont measure up?

alright, boys.......... you have a lot of girlfriends right (and when i say that i mean you have friends that are girls) how do you decided if you like them or not, do you get to caught up with them being girls so you start liking them, or are you just friends? and how do you notice when a girl likes you. and how do you deal with the situation

and if you think girls are confusing please tell me why you think that!
HELPP!

My parents have extremely high expectations. Their 1st son is an angel sent from heaven. Amazing grades with AP classes, great athlete, obedient. But here comes me, I have mathmatics disorder, I'm lazier, I'm not as amazing of an athlete but I'm extremely talented in music and art. I can't meet their expectations because I'm just a normal teenager who wants to have fun. So in their eyes I'm rebellious and disobedient. And the reminders are constant. I feel like a terrible person I've been taken to therepists and taken pills. They show they care for me that way, but I'm still depressed. I have always been overshadowed by my older brother and my parents have left me feeling worthless and the feeling of "I'm never going to be good enough." People forget about me. I do great things but they only focus on him. But what makes me feel even worse about this is that I have so much, parents who care to take me to therepists, a home, dinner. But I'm still sad. Now, do I sound ungrateful to you?

I'm at a total loss. I have no clue what to do in terms of floral design for an amphitheater wedding. The site is outdoor and all stone. I like simplistic elegance, but I don't even know where to start. I don't want anything gawdy, but I have to do something, right?

I let her borrow some money because she did not had gas on her car so I let her borrow ( give her money cause I'm never going to see it again) money but she wanted more and I told her that I don't have anymore and she insisted and I told her that I don't have anymore cause I'm the one paying for all the bills in the house and I mean ALL OF IT, so she got upset and threw the money at my face and told me to screw myself, and I never did or said anything that would upset her besides that I don't have more money. I'm the provider and do not ask her for anything on this house her money is just hers.Now does she has a problem, or am I overreacting?

CAN YOU PLEASE CHEER ME UP!. I have had a bad day, actually a bad month.

My big screen is doing funky stuff with The color, same day I got my kicker check in the mail.......Guess I know where that money is going.

My daughters monthly medication went up from $10.00 generic to 50% generic(I had to pay $180.00)

Just paid for my surgery(had my tonsils out) $1500.00

My so called best friend of 15 years got mad at me because I was able to watch her kid one time, I had plans already(even though, I watched her kid numerious times including when she was working daily as a temp for 2 months, and when she went overnight someplace with her husband).

SO, COME ON CHEER ME UP!

Almost 11 years ago I had sex with another women and my wife gave me a choice to stay with my family or go. I choose to stay and we had two very rough years but we had started moving on and I thought everything was ok. We had just had our 20 aniv. and was gone for a week together and we had just bought this motorcycle to take trips on and where talking about the stuff we were going to do as the kids left the house,(20, 18) When out of the blue she told me she wanted a divorce and would not talk about it. Of course there is another man in the picture,but she says that she is not in love with me anymore and is madly in love with him. I am still in love with my wife. I have tried everything to get her to stay and work it out,she just refuse's. She wants to be friends after the divorce. Should I be?

Obviously women are different and we'd prefer something probably a little more romantic or sappy. What do you like, sports even, a meal, then sex? Why do I even ask...

I'll give you the "Readers Digest" version: My Dad's rich, I'm not. He doesn't really care about me, and I don't really care about him. We still exchange xmas presents just to keep up appearances. Every year all he does is send me $200, and I kill myself trying to come up with something, ANYTHING that isn't the same old crap I get him every year (booze, cigars, last year, if I recall correctly, I got him Omaha steaks). I haven't the care or the energy to try anymore. Anyone have any ideas?

He's retired so he doesn't need a tie or anything like that.
And a picture of me is out of the question because despite how many pictures my sister and I have given him over the years (school, my wedding and such) he hasn't put one up in his house. He only has pictures of himself and wife #3.

I should just send him a check for $200, shouldn't I? That would be funny.

When you give advice in Marriage/Divorce, do you tell them how you feel all of the time? Do you tell them what they want to hear?

I met a guy 2 years ago on an internet dating site. We haven't met yet, but I fell like I know him so well. We talk a few time a week. He wants to meet me. Go on a date with some friends so I feel more comfortable.
I just don't know what I should do. He's told me that he really care about me even though he doesn't know me as well as he wishes he could. We also talk on the phone. We talked for 5 hours the day before I had a plane flight, I was leaving town for Christmas. He leaves me cute messages, and calls me his girl. I'm happy when I talk to him, on the computer or the phone.
I'm worried that I may like him too much though. If i do meet him, I don't even know what I'd say. I'm scared, I feel so close to him. He told me he knew he was falling for me. It was sweet.
I'm just a little confused with what I should do about it.
I just want to know what you would tell me to do if you were my friend.

My ex-stepmom (she was my stepmom for 17 years from the time I was 1 until I was 18 and is like a second mom to me) just lost her new husband (together for just over 5 years) yesterday to a sudden heartattack. She's now a widow at age 41. I don't know what to say to her. I haven't called because I'm scared to. I have no idea what I can say to let her know how sorry I am. Any insight? Thank you.

I am still with this man who is in Iraq. He sends tons of message that how much he loves me, he wants to spend life with me, stuff like that. I am also 4months pregnant. He said he is very happy and he is planning to have his leave in Jan and come see me.
BUT,I just found out that some websites that he goes to and never told me. In myspace He did put there as "divorced", he has divorced from couple of his marriages. Although he never mentioning about relationship with me there. He once told me he has to go to Iraq to save money for me and baby. He wrote he had to go Iraq because he has to support his 12year old son, nothing else about me and baby.
Also, I saw his profile at Adultfriendfinder.com. I had to sign up to see his profile.he was wanting to meet some woman who match with his type or sex life. He did not put any naked/sexual pictures himself there, just one face picture with his army uniform. he wants no long distance relationship. I live in NY and he lives in GA.
