My boyfriend was beated by his dad on a regular basis as a child for as long as he can remember and he hasn't really dealt with any of it.I'm scared that he's just been bottling it up inside and that if he doesn't deal with it soon I won't be able to help him when it gets too much to handle.What can I do to encourage him to deal with this?He's nothing like his dad but you can tell that the events of his childhood affect every part of his life.I'm really scared for him.Please help

My husband and I got married in September 2005. He has a few ex girlfriends that email him and he emails back. But he doesn't tell them he is married. He is currently in Iraq right now. He still hasn't told his sons mother that he is married because if she finds out right now she might not let him see him for awhile like she has a few times before.
I just don't get why he is still letting these girls email him and not telling them he is married and kind of leading them on that they might have anoher chance. The emails arent like I love you so much, miss you, blah blah, it's like how are you, I am fine, ect...

Actually one was, he asked for a picture of her and if she has yahoo messenger..But I confronted him about all of this and he said he will take care of it. I just don't know why he still has contact with them and wont tell them he is married. I only know of 1 ex of his that knows that he still has contact with because I know her sort of...kinda hard to explain.

The cast of Riverdance goes berzerk and kicks the crap out of a dancer who's arms moved during the show...

We've got women in the workplace, although there's still a wage gap. Many women are saying it's too much and choosing to stay home... Men are starting to take a more active role in the home, but slowly and selectively.

What is our goal from here and how do we reach it? Do we focus on the wage gap, on child care, on valuing traditional women's roles, work/life balance? How does feminism treat women who now choose to be full time mothers?

Of course I realize that's about 10 questions, not just one... :-)

Drugs especially are now super trendy, and so is binge drinking in th uk, by fthinking of your health and not doing either do you leave yourself feeling like the odd one out when it comes to socialising?

Rompin strikes again:

RompingWillyBilly: Suppressing emotions is what an adult does, eiji. We do this so that children can express their emotions for emotional development.

have below average i.q. I love watching the cops t.v. show, because if you knew anything about law and/or intelligence it really exposes the systems fundamental problem. low-brow, unintelligent, community college graduates, with more power than they can mentally handle.

Suppose hypothetically, 10,000 people were marooned on a fertile bountiful secluded island and in time they had all occupied their own plot of land and become: farmers, planters, fishermen, miners, foresters, builders, printers and other service personal and manufacturers. They then agreed to form a government and create a reserve bank. Bearing in mind that there would be privately owned supplies of gold, silver and paper on the island, how would the newly elected Reserve Bank Chairman create the monetary system? Specific answers please on what he/she would actually do (!), rather than generalisations about GDP, confidence in the currency system etc., etc.

I was watching something on TV. One of the characters had never tried drugs and did not understand why people would take them. It was explained that drugs make people feel good, give them a sense of power, etc.

Anyway, the character said "but those feelings are artificial, it does not make sense to continue those activities"

My question is: just because something is "artificial" is that a valid reason to stop doing the action that feels good?

EXAMPLES:
-Masterbation
-watching ANYTHING on TV or MOVIES is an artificial experience
-reading books
-daydreaming

I hate ALL Star Wars, most movies with Tom Cruise or Ben Afleck, James Bond movies without Sean Connery (except for the ones with Pierce Brosnan)
