Family & Relationships - 29 December 2007

My wife gives me a very hard time whenever I tell her that I'd rather not go to see musicals or operas. I hate going to them and they make me insane with agony when I'm sitting there. I've gone to a number of them in the past because she likes them, but I can't sit through any more.

She says I'm not being a good husband b/c I don't want to go w/her. However, I like to watch football and basketball (I know this is very stereotypical, but it's true), and have never, ever made her feel bad about not watching the games w/me. I figure, if she doesn't like to watch the games, then why on earth would I want to make her sit through something she doesn't like? I'd never do that. Why doesn't she think the same way about the opera & musicals?

Why is it that I *must* endure the operas & musicals in order to be viewed as a good husband? I don't get it. She *knows* I don't like them. What enjoyment could she get if I'm sitting next to her, when she knows I'm suffering through it?

I have a friend whose parents are first cousins and he is completely normal and he has a sister who is completely normal too and pretty smart!. She actually learned to play the piano when she was like 5. So why do people usually say that incest is an unforgiven sin and all that? What about if your parents were first cousins, would you guys say the same?

Okay. So, let's say you're 17 or 18, dating--you know, the usual high school puppy love stuff. Your girl moves because she has to. You guys are fine with it at first, but then, she writes to you saying she found someone new. Fast forward, seven years later. You're high school sweetheart and your best friend are engaged and set to marry. Unfortunately, your best friend dies. But before he dies, he makes you promise to get back with her. You're torn between getting back with her and breaking your promise to your best friend because all of the hurt is re-openned again, as you see each other for the first time again in years. What would you do? You still love her, and she obviously still loves you. But the hurt keeps coming back. Would you get back with her and fulfill your promise to your best friend, or would you let your ego get the better of you? What would you do?

It all adds up there are no pictures of me when I was under 1.5 years old but my mom have pictures of all my siblings when they were that age. Also I am naturally short and skinny,Have blond hair,greenish eyes while my family members all have black or brown hair,I am the only one that is blood type0 in my family and whenever I ask my parents or my oldest brother they always say of course not in a odd way. I cant ask my other siblings because I am 12 and they are each only 1 year older than each other(there are 5 of us). What are my chances of not being adopted?

I noticed that as me and my boyfriend's love started to grow and develop, we started arguing alot. We are normally happily in love one week, and not speaking the next....but we still love each other, and are growing closer...
Is this normal or a warning sign..??
Does this ever happen before couples get married, and does it continue..??

My dad is in his 70s and he lives with me. I feel bad because I'm never home, always at work and he doesn't really have much in common with my husband. He always seems so bored and to be honest, he exhausts me when I come home from work.
I was thinking of getting him a suite at a retirement home in our town, but my sister and brothers, who by the way only sees him barely once a month, think that's a terrible idea. I think it would be great for dad to be there, be with people his age and make new friends, all while living in a comfortable environment. What do you think I should do?

well, Thanks for all the good answers. English is my second languange.Please forgive my poor English. He even email me said he only helps me and answer my email. He is so perfect.There are a lot a girls like him. But he only being so nice to me. I have already left the College and didn't meet him anymore. But he has my phone #. He has been calling me for half year. Maybe he is shy. He block his phone #. Each time he called and didn't say anything. Only answer my question by press the button on the phone. (press once=yes, press twice=No). I know it is him because he answer most of the questions about me correctly.I don't know why he is doing that. I warned him said i am going to call the police if he don't stop. But he is still calling me. I did ask him if he likes me or not? But he denied(say no). And i do like him still. But he keep calling and not say anything. It really peace me off. What is wrong with him?By the way he got his PHD at Microbiology when he was 26. He is 30 now.

Finish this phrase. I ask this every few months and get very interesting responses. So, for me: My spouse does not know I ... When we recently had our antique claw foot bath tub's inside re-finished, at $440, I did not get to one of my 3 years olds quick enough when he said he had to pee and he got to the bathroom before me and left a tiny palm print in the tub's new finish. (you have to know where it is to even see it, but he would crap if he knew it had a flaw, due to the cost)

I posted an online personals ad pretending to be my ex, to see what kind of girls he could get. I didn't use his name or photo, just described everything about him.

I'm really upset with him - he broke up with me by not calling anymore. No explanation.

All my friends insisted I was way too good for him anyway, even when things were going well. So I wanted to see if they were right, and so far, they are. The only women who've responded are trashy and already have kids.

I have a BIL 22 years old, and SIL 32 years old, that still live with their parents. My wife (their older sister) and I have put in new tile, installed cable, etc. mainly for my mother in law and not them, although they benefit also. Not only do they not help in any way, either financially or physically helping me install the tile or cable, or say thanks, but only make critical comments about how the things could have been done in a better way. I asked them one time if they wanted to help me and if not then I didn't need any of their comments. Didn't work. How should I respond to people like this, if at all ?

One of my personal goals for next year is trust women more. Here's the deal:
For some reason if a woman does something nice for me, or says something nice about me, in the back of my mind, I'm asking myself "what does she want"? I realize this is all in my head probably, but I've watched over the last few months with the females I do know, they have time for me when they want/need something from me. I was brought up to help my friends no matter what time of the day/night, and I always will. I'm just a plain average guy (looks, income, possessions, etc), and a single parent 24/7, so my encounters with women are very few. When I say "hi" or "how was your day"?? etc,,,they don't have time. But when they need something, they're around a lot more than I can count. I'm even at the stage when a female friend says "hi", I ask her what she wants. I know this isn't right, but how can I overcome this if the only time I see them is when they need something.

How can I trust more?

okay so last night my friend had her bday party.
We went out to eat and it was fun.
Once we got back to her house two of the 10 girls where on there phone texting. Everyone thought it was inpoilte..so we go up to my friends room and i leave. I didnot care for wat they where tlking about i mean its not any of my business..so i go downstairs to watch a ftball game...out of all my friends i am the only one who watches sports. I cannot help it i grew up watching them and going to them... So they where talking about me behind my back saying man she needs to get a life all she ever does is watch sports. Which that is a false statement.. i mean i could have either been up in the room talking about boys and drama our watching ftball..so i chose ftball. then two other girls came down bc they didnot care for drama either...soo in a way i feel bad but then again i donot. I donot get why girls dont like sports and why they judge ppl?!?
someone help me out on wat to do.

The guy stopped answering my phone calls the night he was suppose to come see me on Christmas Eve. I blocked his number, if he really cares won't he go out his way to contact me. What would you do: pop at her house or call her from another number.

I have been with my partner for 13 months and have a major problem. His ex wife. He has a child with her and has to go up there to pick the child up every week or so but when he does he spends maybe 5 or 6 or more hours up there. He says that shes a lovely woman and that he actually loves spending time with her and its tearing me apart. He says im possessive and jealous and our relationship is hanging by a thread at the moment. Before he was with me he was intimate with her 3 times since they have been divorced but he says not in the 13 months that hes been with me. He says that he has to keep a good relationship for the sake of his daughter. Its tearing me apart because I have an ex husband who I have a good relationship with but I would never say the things to my partner like he has said to me about loving to spend time etc as I dont do it with my ex husband. Please any advice would be appreciated and can anyone see my point of view.

Hi all,

I finished university last May and in my final year I got to know a French girl quite well through doing projects and stuff with her.

I really fell for her in a big way, but I only got around to asking if she was single in late April, of course she didn't really catch what I was asking her and it ended in awkward smiling and stuff, I was going to just kiss her there and then, seize the day and that but didn't.

I haven't seen her since our exams finished in May but she's constantly on my mind. I'm always cursing myself for not taking the many opportunities I had to ask her out, yada yada.

I keep thinking of sending her an e-mail just to catch up that kind of thing, bit useless though as she's back living in France and to be honest I have doubts whether she'd reply or delete just it.

Looking at it objectively I know she knows I like her and it's just drilling my head day in day out even after 6-7 months.

A catch-up e-mail can't hurt right?

But people at my school are very accepting and really like it a lot especially the chicks.

But I wanna get another one but this time in my right ear. cuz gots one in the left. Don't do that left right gay thing though.

So my Moms fine but my Dad ain't cuz he's so old fashioned. and sticks by his rule book you said you wanted one but I said contracts extend and new ones are created but still ain't bending.

What do I do? Please help? Should I just pierce it myself or have a friend pierce it for me. It's now or later.

Here's what happened. I got married in July and my husband and I seperated in November and it is kind of my fault since I was cheating on him with this other guy whose 20. I'm 25 and so is my husband but the age thing isn't the point. He used to work all of the time and leave me alone and never had time for me so it's not completely my fault. Now that we've seperated I've started dating the other guy. Now everyone keeps saying mean things about me behind my back, And I'm sick of it . What can I do?
