Brief rundown: I am 28, B/f is 29 and we've been together for a bit over 2 years & now have a 3month old daughter.
A few weeks ago we had an argument over the baby. I think he does not want her around, or only when it is convenient or she is happy. He is wishy-washy and I told him he needed to start helping more with her. (She is collicky, mind you) At one point during our argument he said, "If you don't like it there's the door." So, I called his bluff, packed a few things for myself and my child and went to my sister's. Once he realized I wasn't kidding, he begged me to stay. I had to leave to make a point that I would not put up with his disrespect.
Now...a couple of days ago, he left his email open...so...I peaked a little:) and found an email he sent to some chic on a porno personals website. The subject line was "True Love". He said he was looking for true love and someone to spend good times with. Now he is talking about buying me an engagement ring. What do I do?

this is going to be the first and only time i'm going to spill out my mind to anyone, and i think i need a lil help. on the outside of me, ppl see a very quiet guy, he keeps to himself all the time, he's barley active and hardley likes talking to ppl. prefers to be alone and watch others live their life. my inside thoughts: i keep to myself because i like to think about a lot of stuff. i my own little world in my head and i can't stop living in there and get out of it and be more active. i'm one of those ppl who "have their head up their a'ss". i don't really care about anything cause i have my own little adventures, my own little life, whatever fairytale in my head and i never pay much attention what's around me. i lost my virginity to some girl when i was 6 (simple explanaition, i was exposed to porn too early) i got caught and was punished for it. ever since then, i never had a GF. something in my mind can't seem to actually accept a relationship with someone else. any comments? =(

Why can't we find common ground? Is it because that is boring? Why do we post loaded questions? Why do we answer loaded questions? Why doesn't sharing ideas bring joy? Are we addressing the crowds with our questions? So many questions! Why can't we just get along?

Do you ever read through these questions and answers and feel suddenly as though you are completely lost and can't offer anything at all and feel so alone and inadequate?

First of all, I'd like to ensure that I would never ever want to offend anybody by asking this ignorant question.
I'd like to know if it's true someone who chooses to become a lesbian or gay commits themselves to live homosexual life rather than heterosexual generally because they find it more difficult to be loved by the opposite sex than the same sex?
For example, superficially unattractive women get hurt by men in past and alternatively choose the same gender to be in love with instead of the opposite ones.
Does it sound plausible or controversial?

I cry everyday. I have had a few guys in my life do nothing but hurt me. People i trusted did nothing but hurt me. I just dont know how to deal with it anymore. Its effecting my life. I cant go to work sometimes. I stay in bed all day. I have a really hard time falling asleep. And when i do fall asleep i stay asleep for 10-15 hours. I just dont know what to do.

I'm seriously considering entering the Social work carreer field. The Idea of being able to help people in a more hands on manner than a therapist/pchycatrist, intruiges me. I have the desire to Improve peoples lives, and money/earnings are not a factor in my decision making process for what I want to do with my life.
If everything works out, I would like to specialize in Mental health and substance abuse, or Medical and public health. All of that being said, I've a lonnnnnng way to go I just began my core curriculum at a community college.
My question is......what are some jobs I can get to prepare me for the career field?

some background info
former military....heavy equipment operator(big carreer change, yes I know)
27 years old (you think this may be to old? considering I will eventually have to go for a masters?)
Again, just beginning my college career (late start! yes I know)

So, anyone in the field, or anyone aspiring to be like me,
give me a little advice

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?
