You see the dream is there but it is'nt quite clear as to what it is I want career wise. I know that I want to have children and a stable relationship with a partner. At the moment I am backing off from guys. As Im trying to ground myself so I can acheive what it is I want. Im 27 and an auxiliary nurse there has got to be more to life than being an auxiliary. I dont want to my training for sure. I feel Ill get there but it kinda seems imposossible at the moment.

Three weeks ago, I was voted as coffeemaker at a 12-step meeting. for the past couple of weeks, the secretary had not given me a key for the locker where the supplies are. He had kept telling me, "Next week", for three weeks now, so I told him I was tired of hearing this and didn't want to make the coffee as long as I didn't have a key. How could I get to the supplies? The key did not belong to him; he was supposed to hand it over to the next coffeemaker.
Am I being too hard on him, or was I right to stand up for myself?

Personally, I don't care how many partners a girlfriend has had in her past, and on the whole I find women who have had several or many lovers tend to have a clearer idea of what they like and want from a relationship.

I do wonder if men who want their women virginal are thinking of women in the same way they are thinking about cars. Saying things like "Oh she's second hand goods mate" - pure objectification.

I know I'm going to get the usual garbage about STDs posted here, so for the record, once again, Safe sex and regular testing is a better way to avoid contracting STDs than relying on someone telling you the truth about their past or being faithful. If your are going to cite STDs I have no time for your answer, though of course I can't prevent you from giving it.

So...Do men who want virginal women objectify women?

Divorce rates are sky high because neither the husband nor the wife need each other anymore. Kids are losing it because often both parents are out working until 8 PM.

What is the cause of the disintegration of American family values?

P.S. I put this question in this section for max action.

My insecurity has gotten worse over the last few years. Of course, when I was younger it was easy to get men to like me. But now, in my late 40's, it's harder. I'm divorced, no kids, & I worry abt growing old alone.

But my biggest problem right now is that I get so jealous of the younger girls at the office. I feel like an old prune!!!! How can I get over this feeling?

I used to every once in a while have flying dreams. I would be in a bussy hallway and just jump up and slowly drift up to the roof. Then I would move like I was swimming but in the air.

I know that dream is a personal experience but i wanted to know what dreaming of a snake generally means:

I was in a boat that was in a center of a large pond, searching for something. Just then, when i thought i finally saw it, I jumped down the boat and swam to approach it. To my surprise its a white snake that attacked me when i closed the gap. I caught it and threw it away. After a few more minutes, I got on land and was surprised to see hundreds of snakes scattered on the sides. When i entered a building, i saw from a distance a cobra beside another snake. it was fighting with another snake. I was scared but i think someone beside me was hitting the cobra with stones that actually shredded its skin but it still didn't stop attacking, not until its intestines was out. The remaining snake then ate up the one earlier. After some time, i got in the boat again. There were four more men with me, and as a resolution i asked them to exterminate all the snakes to escape this situation.

I am an experienced driver,driving over 15 yrs accident free. I have recently developed a fear for driving on the highways, over some bridges, in the middle lane, even the guard rails affect me. I need some advice. I still drive,just local streets. Whenever I am on the highway, I panic and step on my brakes, I feel as if I am going to lose control of the vehicle. I get an awful sensation when I see car lights coming fast behind me.

I mean there is nothing wrong with the heightening of the feelings and intimacy towards each other, and often a good relationship will ensue, but is it a MUST? Should a man be considerate a nasty dog for not wanting a relationship as a price for one-time sex... Why do women make us feel so guilty about this by saying things like, "oh you're like every other guy," "that was a mistake to date you," etc... What are your thoughts?

I'm afraid of sleeping now....
Don't think I'm mentally sick or something...

I'm in a blank cubic room with a door in front of me. First, I look around and see that the ceiling is only 3 inches higher than me. As you can see, the room is really small. Since I feel stuffed, I try to reach the doorknob and get out.

However, the room starts getting bigger and the doorknob is getting farther away from me as I get close to it.
But, the speed of it getting far away is at the same speed.
So I run for it, so I can get closer to it. When I'm an inch away, a devil-ish, shadowy being grabs my arm thats not reaching for the doorknob.

I fight it and he disappears when the doorknob is really far away.
I run for it, but when I reach it, the devil won't let me pass and freezes me with its arm...
And then I wake up with my alarm having rung for 2 hours.
