My sister in law has giving me a hardtime since I started dating my husband. Neverthelesss, I try to forget all that she has done to me and go on for the sake of my husband. I wanted to congratulate her on a achievement she acomplished (we do care about each other and try to get along) so I posted a message on her blog page. My sist in law has been really busy and did not check her blog to appove my comment. In the middle of a conversation with my husband, I told him I wish I could remember the password so I can approve it so she can see it. I ovbiously would have called her first or something, but it was not my inention to just log in. Then I noticed, my husband knew the password, he just did not want to give it to me. I remind him that she had giving me her blog password before and he was there. He then said, that since he is a tech support person, he does not give passwords away. I was like, this is not work, I am not asking you for her bank account password.

And exterior influences have nothing to do with it?
When you see somebody that you think has the perfect life (whether because of money, family, love, relationships or success), do you think you would be immediately happy if you had his/her life?
or do you believe that you are only happy if you can be happy with yourself, no matter what your life is like?

Would it be possible a straight buddy to accept a discreet gay in a relationship?(NOT financially)i'm gay because of childhood incest molest. i choose to be discreet because of STEREOTYPE, i still have not found it SAFE to come out in the open, no longer because of fear but of the uncomfortability of the reaction of hypocrit sterotypes... Which in reality i feel guilty and i don't like the feeling.

a bunch of people moving to one place made it suddenly less desirable?

Think about the worsening traffic, more development and deforestation, raising of taxes, gentrifying areas that "natives" can no longer afford to live in, changing a culture of a given enclave from say bohumian to yupppie, etc ....

Sometimes when i think really hard about something to happen, it happens. I believe its the power of mind because even the scientists think very hard to produce something that is impossible for us to produce. What do you think?

ok, i get into arguments with my family members or with my friends and somehow i am always wrong. i'm never right with them and though you would think facts are objective, they always twist it to their favour... ok, i know it's hard to admit to have been mistaken, but come on...i'm going insane, i start overquestioning myself and in the end i feel i lose grasp of reality.... and though i'm generaly seen as a girl with a pretty good head on her shoulders, how come the people that are supposed to love you make u so miserable?????

I'm discreet gay... and it's my choice to stay discreet, again as i said in my first question because of CHILDHOOD INCEST MOLEST by my uncle... (psychologically my first libido was triggered by a man, plus i had sexual pleasure)
I'm NOT really comfortable coming out in the open, (as you know, whether we like or not, EVERYBODY hates to be STEREOTYPED, ergo still we don't like it... and that's my choice)
and since, especially, ridicules were at me at a young age.

Keeping it has become an agony to me, although there were many times, i was suspected to be one(homosexual).
Funny as i am,(a real funny one, like a clown, i entertain a lot, even if my heart bleeds) I still could not avoid people question my identity, i just joked around it and hide my true feelings...

I've HAD had a number of BEST friends then, (female and men)but only one of my female friends know me best. One of my close male friend, had a hint but then drops the topic... Honestly i like him too. i need male figure

Boyfriend has been taught that being kinky, having anal watching porn and masturbating was wrong and bad.
I am very sexually liberal which has made him more comfortable. When have tried certain(very intimate) things he is distant the next day, he said doesn't know how to deal with the conflicting thoughts in his head I.E he really loves it yet he feels dirty. Usually we have only tried kinky things when he is extremely drunk and he suggests it (or I just try it) we have talked about these things before ( doing them) and he knows I do not view anything about sex as wrong, he seems to be more relaxed(thoughts wise) and is more daring. He has never done these things before yet I feel he is sexually repressed because he absolutely loves it.

He says he's never been this comfortable with anyone in his life (he's in his forties and has only had 3 women before me).

WELL?

Wanting to sleep with a woman isn't the same as a meaningful, deep and intimate relationship with someone of the same sex. Lately, my reasoning is this: Men are gay (psychologically speaking) because there may have been an absent father in their crucial stages of life and an overbearing mother; hence, most gay men are in fact mama's boys. My mother was never around as a child, and my father has been a hard *** as long as I can remember. I've always had a better relationship with guys (I have absolutely no female friends), so I'm wondering if that combined with the reversed-gay-theory means I am in fact gay. Is my uncontrollable attraction to women dictated by my early childhood, or rather just another stress on my hormones that should go away by the time I'm 25.

Are home schooled to fit into the everyday life that they will have to live into todays world. The mother openly (and has for years) says that she cares little for her extended family. She has been married for 21 years and has been pregnant 9 times(she lost one). The youngest is now close to 2 years old. It seems that MOM can not be happy unless she is pregnant! She has been showing how rude and selfish she can be since she does not have a high-risk pregnancy to make others worry about her. Since she enjoys being so matipulating will any of her children have a normal life?

I am deathly terrified of yellow jackets. Normal honeybees I can handle. For the most part, if you don't bother them, they don't bother you. Yellow jackets are nasty little fxckers. If you're walking on a city sidewalk shaded by trees, they will literally burst out and get right up in your face. Those things don't play. I've been stung twice - once when I was playing baseball at school (nowhere near any plants!) and once when I was sitting on a bench on top of grass waiting for the bus. It hurts like HOLYFUCK. But now, this phobia's escalating to the point where when I see ANY nearby, I start literally running in the opposite direction, b/c they actually ATTACK you! Even if you don't get in their way or bother them! Now, I can't even walk on sidewalks with any kind of lawns, bushes, trees, or especially flowers nearby. How can I cure this and/or ensure those devils to stay away from me?

For example, because of my schedule, I can't go with my friend to hang out with some people (including the guy I like right now) this weekend. It really sucks, but there's nothing I can do about it. How do you all deal with the emotion of disappointment... or frustration in this case?

Ever since I was a young I've been quiet. Not really because I'm shy, I am shy, but I just can't think of anything to say. I'm a good public speaker, I got a good grade in that class. However thats only because I could rehearse and I knew what to say. When I have to talk normally, my mind just goes blank. It's really hard for me to make friends because of this.

I have a list of virtues I need to work on (it's pretty long) but the one I need to work on right now is forgivness.

It's really hard, because I can say, "I forgive him/her" and tell myself that but deep down I still feel anger for that person. I need to be a better person but I don't know what to do to get there.
