Family & Relationships - 29 December 2007

My daughter is almost 3 months old. I love her but I've been thinking about leaving her and running away. I can't handle everything that's going on in my life right now. My relationship with her father is horrible. He's been physically abusive in the past, but he's constantly putting me down verbally. Everything he says just reinforces how I already feel. He's told me my life is ruined, my body is ruined, no one will ever love me, etc. I'm living with my family and we don't get along well either. I haven't worked in 6 months, I'm out of money for the first time in my life but don't know how to work with such a young baby to take care of. I'm so overwhelmed I don't know where to start. My life makes no sense anymore. I've thought about suicide but know I could never go through with it..so I've started contemplating running. What am I supposed to do? Where am I supposed to go? I don't want her to grow up with a depressed, miserable mom around. I know it's not her fault. Please help.

Ok, so i really like this boy, right??? idk, when he has a girlfriend, he goes all the way. he gets attached, when they break up with him, he is like a sad puppy. His gf just broke his heart, my best friend likes him too (theres no jealousy, we are still bestfriends, it wont get between us, weve talked about it) so, i know that he is very ... fragile right now. my other friend, allie, comforts him, and i am afraid that he will start to lean on her becuase she is there for him. i have tried to console him, but allie seems to one-up me. i know she doesnt like him, but she is a shameless flirt. she is giving him the wrong idea, and i dont want him to go wiht it and get led into a false trap! i really like him, and allie is just always there for him, and it makes me feel like i cant help him at all. HELP!

My husband was married before, and has three children from that marriage. His ex-wife will not follow the visitation as it is stated in the divorce decree, as he has not seen or spoken to his children in almost two years, as per her doing. She has decided that she would rather have him give up his parental rights and/or give them up for adoption to her new husband, than to allow him to have access to them. He has agreed to this, but we have no idea as to go about this without spending a lot of money (he pays $600/mo in child support on $9.50/hr). Is there any advise you could give me? We live in Missouri, and so does she.

"Compliment" meaning being vocal about the physical attractiveness of these women, who are not his wife, to these women's faces. Only when the wife's back is turned though.

Oh, and I am not the subject of this question so please answer it like the hypothetical situation it is.

First of all thanks for taking an interest. Second of all - this doesn't have naything to do with me, but my bestie. There is this guy that i believe she likes, even though she's uncertain herself. The only reason she doesn't want to accept it is because she is afraid of getting hurt, because believe me, you don't want to fall for a guy like him. I think, despite the fact he can't stop dissing her he actually does like her. It's like whenever she's around he tries to be cool, loud..NOTICABLE! He is not the usual 'nice' guy, but when she is around he tries to be slightly more mannered and less pimpish. It's like whenever she's not in the room you see him sorrounded by girls and enjoying their company, but when she walks in the room he chucks them away. What i think, is that he doesn't want to accept the fact that someone as cool/bad/popular (whatever you call it) as him, has fallen for a generally nice girl, and the only way he can show his feelings is by hurting her. Any thoughts?

...if you stumble across his myspace page and a bunch of his "friends" are porn stars and 22 year old hot chicks from the other side of the country that he doesn't know but flirts with telling them how hot they are? I have nothing against porn by the way but c'mon who does that? I had to laugh but now that I think about it I kind of lost some respect for him. Don't think that's the kind of person I'd want to be dating...I feel like he's an internet creep now! lol. None of my guy friends and brothers are like that on myspace so...what do you think? Is this guy a weirdo? btw he is 35.

Why why would he do this?????
he's one of my best friends. he says he dosent like me and he's always like i know you like me (maybe cause i havent admitted that ilike him) but he does all this, he looks at me during class all the time. I see him check me out. Some times he calls me for no reason. If feels like he finds ways to touch me (like when he laughs his head is always touching mine.) and it feels like he finds ways to touch my hands. hes an outgoing/flirty person btw. But he's really sweet and nice to talk to. he also hangs out with me the most. he always tries to make me laugh. Ive heard from friends that he pushed them just to try to talk to me. and people always say we like each other and were such a good couple

I don't know if writing here will help me but I am kinda desperate and would like to know what others think that may be able to make me feel a bit better than I feel. This year has been a horrible year. I mean prob one of the worse. I am bi polar and have been my whole life but never knew it until about a few years ago. I am 25 and still going to school and trying to get my life in order. Recently I was arrested because my mom and Igot in afight in the car and she was driving and I hit her. I know that is horrible. I know that I should not have done it. There are two sides to the story though. there is alot that she does that she does not own up to. I feel she has always kinda put me down and made me feel worthless. I get these rages that I have gotten since I was little and always was told it was a behavioral prob and it was in a way but it was actually do to my manic episodes I think. I am trying to get my emotions in control but the day i got arrested ... I don't knwo what happened

My husband and I have been married just over 11 years. We've got 4 children and 2 foster children at a time. All things considered, we've kept our romance alive pretty well. But do you ever miss that initial spark you have at the beginning of a marriage, or how 'new' it felt to be a wife, or a husband?

We have dated for 6 yrs now. Christmas has come and gone and he knows he is my guest at all my family gatherings. As a matter of fact, I had to work Christmas and he attended our family dinner without me or even an invitation from me. He popped in un announced. My brother told me he arrived un announced and of course, my family made him feel welcome.
Tommorrow, his adult children and the rest of his family are all getting together for Christmas, and he did not ask me to attend. He said he didnt know about it until the last minute, but he told me about it 4 days ago. He knows I feel insulted and poorly treated.
What is he doing? Why would he treat me like an outsider after 6 yrs?

I have known the person that i am dating for about and year and some, and we have been dating on and off for 4 months ( =[ ) But Her aunt (whom she lives with) Says she can't date, so everything we do is always low key so basically i can only call at certain times (rarely) and when we go somewhere friends have to go as well. And i was fine with it and so was she. But then before the christmas break (i am in high school) we made plans to hang out and do things together but we couldn't do it since she could not stay with her friend/cousin again , but instead her aunt. so over the break, we have not been able to see each other or even communicate with each other! So i thought to myself it is always going to be like this and i think i made a mistake. So my real question is, do i stay with her and possibly wait to see if things get better. Or do call it off with her? please answer
also ( if i do break up with her, is it wrong or right to go after a friend of hers???)

Ok, so I know we are not the only people that have had these thoughts but.....well, ok.....me and my boyfriend are planning on getting married by next Aug. we love each other very much and have had a very honest relationship from the start we have never kept anything from each other. I told him when we first got togeather that I liked girls as well and had dated a few(so I guess I am bi) well anyway I brought it up to him about being with other people as a couple. We have done it a few times now since I have told him(both men and women) and there has been no problems at all we are wonderfully happy but I guess I am just wondering I am weird or do we have an odd relationship?

I got this girls number about 2 days ago. While she was telling me her digits, she started with a different area code. She said she moved here a while back but hasnt decided to change her sevice so she has kept the same out of state number but still lives here. So I call her number the next day and I get this "The number you have dialed is either out of service, has been changed, or has ben disconnected." How messed up is that? Do you think she did this purposley? I mean, the only reason I asked her for her number in the first place is because I know she likes me. What are your thoughts?

I am going to a New Year's Eve party, which is being hosted by a guy and woman who are living together...but they are not really a "couple" in my estimation. He doesn't seem to be interested in her and I think they might be living together for convenience sake. I have been lusting after him for a long time now and he seems to have some interest in me. Be my crystal ball and give me your prediction as to whether they will stay together in the new year, or will he move out and ask me out.

OK: We all know that the vast majority of us have had past relationship. My husband tells me that he has forgotten ALL his past relationships (ex-wife and ex girlfriends). He tells me that most men are wire that way-- once they end a relationship with someone, they don't try to remenisce (sp?) the past. He said it's natural to remember some things that have happened, but once the relationship has ended, all the feelings are out the window etc.
I told him that women are different. Most women will sometimes re-think, rehash, daydream about their exes. Heck sometimes most women(I've actually known some that do miss their exes).
Prior to meeting my husband, I did have an ex that I thought of and missed eventhough I was in a relationship. So I am inclined to believe that this theory is true. So what's your take on this? Who gets over faster, men or women. And do women really misses, think, daydream, wonder about exes while men forgets them once they are no longer part of their lives?

My ex and I talked about our relationship and stuff. It was a bit explicit. My husband is angry and says that its over. Thing is, he's said it millions of times before and always comes back. His best friend is in town from college and he is staying at the friends folks place. We have a 7 mo old together. I admit 100% guilt for this. I had no business talking to my ex. My husband said that I am not to be trusted anymore and that I am scum.
1. Could this fight have been started because his friend is in town and I told him I dont want him around that guy?
2. Do you agree that it was wrong to up and leave and abandon his son and myself on a whim, as in he should have communicated with me
3. Do you think he will actually divorce or can this be worked out?
I feel so bad please don't judge me. He had neglected me for a guy friend the night we got home from vacation and I just wanted someone to talk to and the convo just shifted to the past.
