Other - Family & Relationships - 13 March 2007

Someone I thought was a close relative told me I never call her. Actually I did call and my msgs weren't returned. After leaving messages for 2 weeks, I was told I was on the return list behind one of her book club members. This April she called to tell me she got engaged & was probably getting married sometime in the Fall-to someone she knew only a few months and who I had met once. I was thrilled for her and a few weeks later mailed a wonderful engagement present, which was returned because she had moved and changed her phone #. I called her sister who was aware I didn't have the new info and was told she'd get back to me - which of course she didn't - so I wasn't able to resend the gift. Then I find out after the fact that I wasn't invited to her lavish wedding and I haven't heard from her or her family since. Now, 1 yr. later, I receive a birth announcement that she had a baby last month. She's a relative, but I am so hurt by her actions. Do I need to send a gift? If so what?

Me and my guy were doing perfect, we were planning around this year to get married. Until he lost his job and his car and now he can't find a job. He doesn't have a car to get around, and that's just making him frustrate. He's not the same anymore and i'm just waiting for all this to be over. What can I do to save my relationship and go back to being happy.

More specifically: my ex of almost 2 years cheated on me multiple times and I ended up catching her. She spent the last 6 months or so trying to convince me she realizes her mistake and would never do it again and would do anything to have me back. I finally took her back and now she thinks it is okay for her to be "friends" and hang out with the very guys she cheated on me with, who did not begin as just guy friends in the first place. So my question is for people who don't know and won't be biased on my side. Is it acceptable for her to be hanging out with these guys?

it seems like practically everyone my age, people i've known for years and newer people in my life, are all getting married and established. but i feel behind; i have a boyfriend who i've been with for 3 years and have discussed marriage with, but we're not married or engaged yet. i just feel a little behind and left out cuz so many others my age are already getting married and settling down. my guy and i are both still in school; i'm beginning to get tired of "regular school", but it's hard cuz where i live jobs are next to impossible to find, and i don't have a car. in a way i feel "stuck." i just wish i too was getting married and all that. is there anyone else who feels this way??

I keep ending up sleeping with another guy when my boyfriend isn't there when I need it. I really want to stop doing this. I want to be a faithful girlfriend and have a healthy relationship with him but sex keeps me from it. I am not planning on telling him whats really been going on. I want to be a good girlfriend to him... what can I do? and have you ever been in a situation like this too? Can you share your story with me if it's alright with you

My friend called me tonight and has a delima and asked for my advice. I told her what I thought but my Mother-in -law diagreed with my opinion so now I am not sure if the advice I gave was the best. My friend will be calling me tomorrow to discuss this again before deciding. What would you do in her shoes.

Her cousin-in-law (her husband's first cousin) and her are good friends. I will call my friend Elisabeth and her cousin-in-law Mary to make this easier. Mary calls Elisabeth and tells her in confidence that her husband is using drugs and has become violant latley, Mary asked Elisabeth to keep this private although their families know of her husbands threat of sucide. He placed a gun in his mouth when she attempted to kick him out. Elisabeth calls me very upset about what Mary has told her and is worried for Mary's safty as well as Mary's small child.

okay I want to establish a debate. The question for this debate is simple:

Why is homosexuality such a bad thing? Why is it feared so much?

Please only answers that are thought out and please do not just use bible scriptures unless you forgot 'let ye who is free from sin cast the first stone'.

my boyfriend and i have been together for nearly 4 years. weve had our ups and downs. And recently he broke it off because of communication and trust {which to me seems like an unsual reason to break up}. surprisingly after he broke it off he told me he loves me. immediately after he broke up with me, he was hugging, kissing, play fighting with me...not to mention that he just bought me a ring {sized wrong} and told me that we'll go together to get it sized, and still wanted me to go to his house, and be friends. its been nearly a week, and he has been calling me at most 8 times a day. im trying to play hard to get and making it seem as though i have been happy saying "ive been having a great day" or just seeming not affected by the breakup. as i am telling him this, i realize he's getting affected by what I am saying. An example, he was having a horrible day at work, and i tell him that my day was great {which it actually was} and he seems upset by it, as though he expected me to be depressed. he then asks me if i have met any guys, and i say no. it seems like he can not get over me, and constantly seeks my attention by texting, calling, and Instant Messaging...i want him back obviously, what steps can i take to make him see that he wants to be with me too.

I need some help. The only thing is i don't want to tell anyone I want help. I have someone I want to talk to but I don't want my mom to find out because I don't want her to get upset. I just can't talk to my mom about what is going on. I can talk to this other person and not have a problome with it. My mom was so hurt last time I talked to the other person and not her. My mom says she loves this other person to death and she admires her but i know my mom thinks i like her better. One time when I told this other person something and my mom found out my mom cried and said "how can you like her better than me? did i do something to make myou hate me" i don't want to do that to my mom but i can't explain this to my mom it is to complicating.

I'm a really shy 20 year old guy living at home, going to school full time and working part time. I do fine talking to people at school and work, but outside those places I have pretty much no life. I hang out with my brother and cousin from time to time, but other than that, I've only done ANYTHING outside with anyone outside of my family once. I went out with a girl in December, but she lost interest in me because I showed my lack of confidence ALOT talking to her on the phone. How do I get over this lack of experience and be a regular person.
