Resolved Question: Strain with the in-laws... Avoiding us?

My in-laws live about 6 hours away from my husband and I. We have been married 3 years next week and they have only come to visit is ONE time (for his college graduation), and it was only overnight. They get very emotional and back-stabby if we don't drive 6 hours to visit them at least twice a year. But they don't make an effort to see us. We bought our first house last year and we've invited them dozens of times, but they always make excuses about how they're so busy and can't get off work, etc. (they both get weeks of vacation time every year). They don't ever call us. When my husband calls them, they usually don't answer and upon the rare occasion that they do answer, they only talk for 3-5 minutes, usually about themselves. I had surgery on Monday and they never once called to ask how I was doing... didn't send an e-mail or text message or anything. When my husband called the next day to say "happy birthday" to his mom, he also told her that my surgery went well and she suddenly had to get off the phone. I KNOW I haven't done anything to offend or hurt them. We visit them. We call them (not that they answer). We mail them Christmas, birthday, and anniversary cards. On one hand, I'm glad that they're not overbearing. But on the other hand, I can see how much it hurts my husband that his own parents want nothing to do with him and he hasn't done anything offensive. Do you have any advice for this? more

Voting Question: would you give up on your sister?

My sister and I have never really been close but over the past 12 years I have done all I can. I have had she and her DH over for dinner, had holiday dinners at my house, always remembered her birthday, always. Kept in contact through E mail and calls. This year just showed me how much she wants to be sisters. She forgot my birthday, didn't even call. she E mailed me over a week later that 'because of the snow, she couldn't get to a store to buy a card!" Phone call , maybe?? She told me two weeks ago that when it was her daughters bd we would all go out to dinner and celebrate my bd, he her bd and daughters. I just heard from my niece, they already took her out or dinner last weekend. Now I see clearly, she puts zero effort in our relationship. I have invited family for Easter dinner, to include her , I don't even feel like having it anymore, but invites already went out. This upsets me so much. but, I guess it's time to move on. What do you think?I forgot to say we are 6 years apart, both of us are in our 40's. This has been a one way street for many years. sick of it. more

Resolved Question: Should I just give up on my sister?

Resolved Question: What phone do you suggest for a 14 year old on verizon?

Ok, so i am getting an upgrade very soon like next month or so. My mom might push us upgrading until June, she might wanna get the phone as a birthday gift for me. So i really like the Samsung Rogue, but i also love the Motorola Droid. I will be turning 14 this year, too, at the end of May. So anyway. I am 13 now, and have this tracfone. My mom wants to get me a contract phone since it almost the end of the school year, and i have been doing really well in school. I like the rogue and droid as i said. I use the internet on the computer a lot for research projects and facebook. I told her i liked the droid and wanted it bad she said maybe. She must want to think, does he really need the 30 unlimited internet. I agree with her i do not want unlimited, just 25 mb. I wish i could get that on the droid though, that is the reason i want the rogue. I just don't want my freinds to be jealous because i got a cooler phone then them. All my friends have enV 2 and 3 and Touches. Some have the chocolate 2 and they always go i have a cooler phone then you. So that is the reason i want the rogue too so they do not hate me for getting a better phone then them. But i still want the droid. But do you think a droid is a good phone for a 14 year old. I wish i didnt have to get the internet because i prefer not having it but i know i have to have it. Also, i get all A's and B's on my report card. Also i have 2 guinea pigs i take care of by giving water and food everyday, and cleaning the cage every day. Do you think i am "mature enough" and responsible enough to get the droid? I would not mind having the rogue, but i would love to get the droid. So what phone best suits me? Also, i do some after school activites and have braces and i always forget when i have appointments. I want a phone that would alrert me the best when i am going to the dentist or doctors. On a normal day oh school, I am not home from about 7:40-3:00 or 5:00 depending what i have after school. I also love to text and have a yahoo e-mail i used and a gmail e-mail i use for my school and activites. I need a phone that when teachers e-mail me i can check them when i am not home, which i know you can do on both phones, but which is better? Also i know for a fact the Droid has the green messaging light on the front of it to tell you you have an e-mail/text. Does the rogue have that, i was just wondering. And i have to say with verizon, my parents will nto switch because the service it very good where i live. more

Resolved Question: When your partner doesn't say i love you back?

I had this girlfriend for almost a year. We are long distance relationship (it sucks) although i see her every two months for a couple of weeks. I fell in love with her 7 months ago. I finally told her i love her and have proven it to her multiple times. I treat her like a queen. I used to say I love you to her on the phone all the time and she would say it back and sometimes she would say it first, but not often. Now the only time I've heard her say it was usually when I'm about to leave her again for two months. Which I love to hear her say it. Yesterday was her birthday and I sent her an e-card. I told her to check her mail and she said okay. Well, she had given me her password to her account a long time ago. I checked it while we were webcaming and she still hadn't opened it. Although she had opened another HB e-mail from one of her former male friends I guess and she replied to him. "Thank you, I can't believe you remembered. I'll write more later. Howare you doing." He called her beautiful in his e-mail before wishing her a Happy B-Day! I don't mind her getting e-mails from other male friends. Yes it does make me uneasy, cause I don't know who they are or what former relationship they have had in the past. That, I'll just have to suck up and use trust. What really upsets me is that I asked her if she checked her mail and she said "No I'm sorry, I forgot" So she opened his, but left mine. So, I'm thinking it's natural for this to upset anybody...due to the fact that it makes me feel real unimportant to her and I'm her boyfriend. Well, I have backed off from saying "I Love You" for probably a month now. She knows I love her, and the only time I'll say it is when she tells me she loves me first. So tonight before I go to bed, I wished her a HB one more time. She said Thank you. Then I told her "I love you". She replied back with "Goodnight" Now I'm good at looking at other people's relationships since I'm outside of the box and I can give advice like I'm an expert. But it is very hard for me to see my own when I'm in the box. I really do love this girl with every ounce of my heart whether she believes it or not. But now I'm really disturbed with the reply that I got back. I absolutely have no idea what to think anymore. All these thoughts go through my mind and the first thought that comes into my head is that she is just keeping me around cause I spoil her and maybe waiting for someone better to pick her up. She has moments where she can be real loving, but they are not very often. I hate admitting this, but I am the bitch in this relationship. I am a man though. I'm roughnecked, drink beer, love football and hocky. But when it comes to her, I'm nothing but a big teddy bear. I need advice. I'm supposed to see her in 3 days. normally she shows more excitement about me coming to see her, but this time not so much. I have been smashed before in former relationships, I'm assuming just for the fact that "The nice guy finishes last." She is my last hope. I swore I never would fall in love again, but of course that didn't go over to well. If she does leave me I will be angry. If I make the decision to leave her 1st, I'll be angry still and will devote my life to using girls for one night stands, because this seems the only way that a man doesn't feel pain. I'm assuming that's why there are a lot of assholes out there ladies. My heart was crushed before and it can't handle another explosion. I have tried talking to her about this in the past and all it does is upset her. So my communication about this subject with her is limited to none. Please, help since you can see this from the outside. I'd really appreciate some advice. Thanks in advance! more

Resolved Question: Does my birth father still love me?

I have read letters that he sent to my parents when i was a baby, it sounded like he loved me very much. The letters always said that he would have loved to keep me and that he would love to continue visiting me. But when i was about three he moved to Maryland and i have only seen him once since then. Before he lost contact with me for a while he used to send me birthday cards and some money. Just last year when i saw him again he got our adress again. (The only reason he got back in touch with us is because he called my birth mother to ask where we lived because he wanted to visit, only i don't see why he didn't do that before...) Then this year this year he sent me a card again with a letter. He told me to e-mail or write to him any time. So i wrote to him. It took him about three weeks to answer the letter with an e-mail. Then i replied with an e-mail. This was all in late December/ early january. I am still waiting for him to reply back. Does he not love me anymore? Or do you think its because he's to busy? Either way i feel horrible and not important to him.... more

Voting Question: What to get for my friend?

... well, i'm friends with this guy on this internet, and his birthday is coming up. I'm not sure what to get him, since he's on the internet... I was thinking I could e-mail him a happy birthday card or somethingi don't have his postal address, so I can't do snail mail, and i don't have his phone number either... more

Resolved Question: I have an agent and I am not getting auditions. What do you recommend me doing?

I have been with my commercial agent for about 2 months and have gotten one audition. What should I do to nudge him to send me out without being pushy or mean but without being a pushover as well. I have e-mailed and called and I even gave him chocolates and a card on his birthday. Still nothing. I asked him if there was anything I should do to change my look to help and he said no I am adorable. So I just don't know what else I can do. I always here about people who hang out with their agents like friends. I would think this is not good but I would think it would get them more auditions. Some help form those who know. If you're not in this business or gone through this or have an agent please don't answer. Thanks! more

Resolved Question: Why is she doing this? Is it excessive?

My Mother In Law lives several states away. When I first met her, the conversation centered on 'this is what OUR (meaning my husband's, i.e., her family) does...', 'WE do xyz...'. She didn't want to know anything about me or my family. I tried to mention things about me or my family to make conversation, but it ultimately turned back to her family and what they do or have been doing. When my husband calls her, he is silent for minutes on end because she is telling him everything about what his extended family is up to and what is going on where he grew up. She is a loud talker so I overhear what she is saying. She has started a family newsletter that she sent to all the extended family asking them to share stories about the family, and in turn she will write them down and send them to everyone. For my husband's birthday, she sent him a hand made recipe book that contained family recipes and a bunch of South Beach recipes because his Mom and Dad are on the South Beach diet. This summer she mailed him a set of index cards listing his favorite foods when he grew up (she listed over 15 things) and a list of 10 meals that they ate as a family when he was growing up. She also listed a three week meal planner of South Beach diet meal suggestions. When we had a baby she sent a bunch of things that she had kept of my husband's when he was little (his clothes, books, and stuffed animals). When she last visited and I was 7 months pregnant she did not ask me how I was or anything about the baby. She talked about their recent trip they made to see relatives and discussed everything that was going on at home and with the family. I tried talking about the baby and other things that were going on with me, but the discussion quickly turned back to my husband's family. She has solicited us for money to help out a family college fund for extended family members (my husband is an only child). When she sent the letter/solicitation request, she hand wrote to my husband to 'please be generous'. For Christmas, she sent us a family tree book where you fill in who your relatives are and family traditions. She emails my husband every week and tells him what is going on at home with the extended family members. When my husband sold a piece of property that was close to where she lives that he had bought on his own years ago- we needed the money in these economic times- she wouldn't speak to him for three months (she never told him why she was mad). Why is she doing this? My husband cares about his family, it's not like he's indifferent. But she seems to be excessive, if not obsessed, so you think? It feels like she is trying to pull him back and that she is rejecting me and MY family. I am always polite, but she never asks anything about me and changes the subject (back to family or what's going on where they are from) when I try to discuss anything else (even if it's not about me or my family).For the family newsletter she started where everyone is to share family stories, she wrote 'This is for us.' more

Resolved Question: options for sending mail?

If I wanted to send mail like birthday cards or w/e for people to save time, is there anyway to write them all up and have them sit at the post office until it is the right time for the post office to mail the people their cards each year? If so, how long would they allow me to horde cards, how much would it cost? I assume it would be more than if i went to the post office every birthday because the mail is sitting there taking up space, and needs to be sorted differently. Would the post office put any strange markings on the mail that would let people know what I did? I don't want them to think that i am lazy and don't care about them? Thanks. more

Resolved Question: Native Italian speaker please--how do I say this...?

Resolved Question: Looking to buy an xbox (and no, I am not a first time buyer...)?

Situation (the short version): Basically, I have acess to a family xbox, but the hard drive is filling up, my parents seem to be getting annoyed with how often I play, and other people want to use the television. As you have probably already guessed, I want to buy an xbox of my own. Right now, all I have in this regard is an old tv about as big as my computer monitor. I already have a good Idea of what I want, but the opinion of an experienced buyer would be valued. What I want (all optional without a *): $300-400 Xbox Pro or Elite* $100+ Bigger HDD (optional) $200-500 Plasma TV (price vs. quality)* $100 Wireless Card $50 Extra controllers (optional) $50 Halo 3 ODST (already have Halo 3) $50 COD Modern Warfare 2 $various Xbox Live cards (I already have 3000+ xbox points, so I don't care as much about those) What I have I have $380 or so in my pocket as well as a wii with a controller, nunchuck, vc controller, 4000 wii points (already loaded onto my hard drive if that matters), and 6 well known games (including mario kart, but my parents and brother will probably take the profit for these if I sell them) which I am willing to sell (probably worth $250-350) Other things: -I know that refurbished Xboxes are cheaper, but if they are prone to not lasting as long, I would rather buy new (and yes, I do play THAT much). -I already have access to plenty of games, so I really don't care if I get COD or Halo ODST (though I heard ODST comes with some xboxes...) -I have a birthday a few months from now, and my parents would probably be willing to pitch in then. Ideally, I would get the main console and a good TV now and ask for the extras later. -Any other questions or comments? You can put questions in your answer, but e-mailing me would probably get faster results if this question has been posted more than an hour past when you are reading it. Thank you Oh, and for those of you who are going to say "that isn't a question": What should I get now (if anything) and what would you reccomend buying?I am not completely opposed to buying a PS3, but I have already used the xbox a lot and learned to love a few of the series of games (plus, I wouldn't want to give up my 14000G gamerscore and 3000 xbox points) more

Voting Question: Boyfriend doesn't show affection?

Before I start, I would like everyone to realize I am not being greedy, materialistic nor selfish. I just need advice on this situation. Thank you! <3 Ok ... so my boyfriend and I have been together for over a year and a half. We have pretty much been living together since we met, but officially signed a lease back in October. I have thrown him a expensive birthday party that none of his friends helped with any money (I asked for 20$ per person to help out and they agreed yet "forgot" even when I showed them the e-mail I sent stating that), have bought him gifts for the past two Christmases, our anniversary and Valentines day. For two birthdays, two Christmases, one anniversary and one Valentines day, he has gotten me ... nothing. Not a flower, card ... Nothing. I have tried talking to him about it and even reassured him that I don't need lavish things. Really ... just a card or a single rose would make me happy on those days just to show he took a little time to think of me. I have lent him money on several occasions (and it eventually hurt me financially down the road), I help take care of his daughter, cook, clean, take care of OUR and HIS bills when needed. I just don't know what to say. He tells me he loves me and wants to marry me, but when we get to talking about marriage, all of the sudden he tells me I'm rushing things? I truly do care about him, but I need a sign that he just takes a minute to do something little for me. Any suggestions? =/ more

Resolved Question: What date do you put on a greeting card?

I have believed for many years that a signer of a card should put a holiday date on the card, instead of an actual date when the card was signed. For instance, if you mail Christmas cards in advance (i. e. December 1), you would sign a card as December 25, 2009, not as Dec 1, 2009. What do you do? Am I the only one who does it? For instance, if you signed a card for Valentine's in advance, wouldn't you still put a Valentine's day on it?? The same thing with birthdays and other celebrations...I am asking it because my mom is under impression that the date on the card is the date when a person mailed it (or signed it). So she keeps thinking that I mail things too late, when in fact, the post office took 44 days to mail my holiday cards internationally! more

Voting Question: Wondering if this friendship is REALLY worth it?

I am posting this here because I am at a loss and need a real, objective point-of-view on what to do in my situation. I am 34 years old and have a friend who I have been very close with for the past 11 years. She is younger than me (29) but we have always had a great time. Over the past few years, she got married, then so did I, and two years ago she had a son. We are both very busy women, she is a teacher and a mother, and I travel a great deal for my job, bought a new house last year, etc. I used to attempt to call her every few nights, then once a week, then once every two weeks, always to get her voice mail. She offered no excuse as to why she never answered my calls, then begins to send me text messages as a sole form of communication. The last time I saw her was this summer, when she was going through a rough spot in her marriage. I called her on her birthday in the fall to say happy birthday and to make sure she'd gotten the nice card I chose for her while traveling. When I did not hear back from her, I sent her a text message saying "I guess you did not get the card", to which she responded: "do you forget that I have a two year old on my hip and cannot constantly be on the phone?" After that, I did not call her again. She called me several times on a day in early November and texted saying she "needed my help" and her "marriage was over" the day after my grandfather died. I was beyond myself that day because of everything that was going on and texted back "nice that you call me when you want something and at no other time." I admit, I was angry, but it was also true. At no time did I ever want our relationship to be reduced to texting and many times have told her this. I have a history of "writing people off" because of things they've done, so I tried to reach out to her by saying let's set up a time to talk and see if we can work out our differences. She said this was a good idea, knowing I was about to be out of town for 6 days the following day, and we agreed that she would call me on her own terms the next night after she put her child to bed. She never called. The next morning, I received a text saying "let's just talk when you are back." I was angry and felt my friendship was not important to her. Today I receive an e-mail from her saying something like: "ot sure if your back from your trip yet or not. If so, wanted to see when you wanted to talk. I have Jack's swim lesson tomorrow night and my Masters class the following night. I have approx, a 20 minute drive home from grad school so i could call you then around 8:45. sound good?? by the way i'm not catching a very good vibe with our recent conversations and we're both way past the age for immature fighting so I'm hoping that this will be an open, mature, and productive conversation about how to make more of an effort in both of our busy lives for our friendship rather than attitudes and the blame game. if our friendship is as good as we thought it was than there should be no problem being open and honest without getting into an argument. " To me this was passive-agressive and I am angry. I am a great friend and I do make time for her! What I want to know is-is this friendship worth it for someone with a chip on their shoulder who cannot even make the time to communicate with me? I feel she is selfish and unyielding and I do not know how to go about approaching this or even if it is worth it? Please help with a real answer. I realize that common sense says she is not a good friend, but she once was, and I would like some opinions on how to get this back without making it a full-time, one-sided job. Thank you so much! more

Resolved Question: How long will it take to send a letter from the USA to Sweden?

I made a Swedish friend during an International program and her birthday is coming up. Rather than sending the typical e-mail saying "Happy Birthday!" I was thinking it'd be more fun to send her a letter and birthday card. I want to know how long it would take for me to send it, since I don't want to send it too early or too late. How exactly would I send it too? Do I have to go to the Post Office? Please help. I've never sent a letter internationally, and I want to sent her more letters in the future. Thank you! more

Resolved Question: What would you do in this situation?

I've never had a sibling, and when I turned nine, I'm now 13, I found out that my parents got in this humongous fight, and my dad ended up having a kid, that wasn't my mom's, and she's 3 years older than me. Now at the start everything went well, we saw each other once a year even though she's in Alabama and I'm in Illinois.But ever since we said that we didn't want her little sister to come to a family vacation that we invited my older sister to join, it seems as if there's now some hostility between us all. Like when we call and leave a message, there's no call back. And when it comes time for my birthday, she never calls me personally. Same thing with other holidays, heck I'm even lucky if I get a card/e-mail/or even a gift from her. And the best thing of it all, my dad goes far out of his way back when it all started. He bought her Heelys, an iPod, all this nice stuff, and he payed for the repairs on her iPod after she broke it. And after all of that she expects my father and I to call her on HER birthday or on Christmas when she couldn't even call me or even e-mail me when I turned 13. And to top it all off, she says that our dad sucks. Which I know he can be a bit of an imbecile sometimes, and he can tick you off, but for heavens sake, she doesn't even know the man! So my question to you is, how would you react, and what would you do? more

Resolved Question: What should a mother do in this case?

What should a mother do in this case? Your daughter is informed by e mail that says that her father (mothers husband) a naturalized US national has filed divorce proceeding in his native country and will only visit his daughter if he does not have to pay child support. She shows you the copy of the email. Because he filed for divorce in his native country you can not get a child support order against him if he stay out of the USA until his daughter is 18. He can not get visitations rights in US family court with out triggering a child support order. This is why he does this. He says that he will do the exact same thing as the father of president Barack Obama did not mater what you do, because he hates living in the USA. He says that according to Schneider v. Rusk, 377 U.S. 163 (1964), United States Supreme Court, a Naturalized U.S. citizens have the right to return to and reside in their native countries, and retain their U.S. citizenship, even if they never return to the United States. Your American lawyer tells you every thing in his email about the law is 100 percent correct. Your lawyers say that you can get his parental right terminated for abandoning and than he can only see her legally with your consent and you never have to deal with family court. Either way you can not take away his US passport for not paying child support. The little girls say that she wants you to allow her daddy to visit her with out triggering a child support order. Other wise she can’t see her daddy until she is 18 and she will hate you for it. She says that she will continue to communicate with her daddy on the internet email Windows Live Messenger and on the telephone daily weakly if you let her. Other wise she will hate you. If you take away her internet from home, she will e-mail him from school and she can call him from a pay phone at school. If necessary her daddy will send her prepay international phone card to her best friend that she can use to call him. Her daddy will still send her a birthday present and Christmas present if you let him send it to you. You can speak to him almost every weak on the phone if you like and he will send you a prepay international phone cards (if nead be) if you nead it to call him more

Resolved Question: Is it time to be strong and end the friendship?

I have a friend who lives far away. We were sort of 'together' at one point and I went to visit him. We had a nice time and acted like we were a couple, then when I got back he told me he wasn't ready for a relationship via email. Ever since then we've kept in touch via email as friends. But tbh, I'm still not over what he did to me. I feel like I put all the effort into the friendship. For a while he went on invisible on chat so I never IMed him then recently he complained about how other people never chat with him. He'll give me advice every now and then but I start every mail and most of the conversation. For christmas, I sent him a gift and I got nothing. Our birthdays just passed, and he completely forgot mine. I didn't even get a Happy Birthday. I acted like a big girl and said it didn't bother me but tbh, I was kind of hurt. For his birthday I sent him a real card AND an e-card. Recently, yesterday I told him I feel like I put a lot more effort into the friendship and it gets old. I added sorry if it sounds defensive but maybe I just push this friendship too much. Do I wait for his reply and see what he says or just write this guy off? more

Resolved Question: remarried and ex....?

I was married to someone for 10yrs--dated him for another 7. He cheated and so we divorced. He was sorry but didn't think I'd forgive him, so he stayed with the girl. It was difficult to move on, but I had no choice. He wanted to stay friends, but at the time i was angry, and refused. We are not friends but sometimes email each other about official things, such as if I get his mail, etc. I married a year ago and have a kid with second-husband, and am happy. Recently, I spoke with ex, however, as something had come up regarding common friends, and he asked me to call him whenever I wanted. He sounded sad, like he missed me,but didn't say anything. Talking to him makes me tearful. I miss his friendship, but I don't think he deserves mine. Recently, he sent me an e-card wishing me for my birthday. I wonder why he is trying to keep in touch. I know he regrets his mistakes. My gut says he's over her. I am happy now and don't want him in my life--but sometimes I wonder why else he is acting nice. more

Resolved Question: can i back out of being a brides maid?

My friend asked me to be a brides maid for her wedding and i said yes. I have known my friend since school, so about twelve years in total. We were best mates while at school but i changed schools two years after meeting her and i didn't see her at all until about three years ago, we didn't keep in contact at all after school, but within the last three years we have met again through a friend and she asked me to be her bridesmaid and i said yes without thinking about it properly, partly because i have never been a bridesmaid and i have always wanted to be one. Just to let you know her circumstances, she has one child and is expecting another atm. i buy presents for the birth of her first child, for her birthday and at christmas but she don't buy present or even an occasion card for me for christmas, my birthday or even my engagement. i know that people shouldn't give to receive. she pleads poverty at christmases and birthdays although she is spending thousands of pounds on her wedding. She is going to pay 50% for the bridesmaid dress but i will have to pay for everything else. In the last 3 months i have seen her once and will prob see her 2 times in the next 7 months for fittings. The wedding is in July. She never phones or texts me and only e mails me when i e mail her. i feel undervalued as a True friend and i am unsure what to do. i am not the Chief brides maid. Help? more

Resolved Question: My husband is acting like a caged animal. Was this a good thing to say? can this marriage be saved?

My husband is having 2nd thoughts about our marriage and acting like a caged animal trying to get out. We were fine while dating but had to elope because his mother opposed the marriage because I have a child from a previous relationship. An ex-gf was joining her in trying to break us up. We got married to present a united front and be left alone to have our relationship, but once married my husband couldn't tell his parents we were married and demmanded I show his parents copy of my birth certificate to prove I was born in the US and don't need a green card. He also took them my resume against my expressed wishes not to. After about 4 weeks, he told them we were married and agreed to rent out the house he was living in before to get out from under taxes and other related expenses so he'd be able to contribute in our household. That's when reality hit home because once he rents the house, he can't move out of my house and back into his'. He began coming home at 11pm or later,finding fault with me and my son,etc. He went back on the rental and last night he met me at couples counseling to say he was going fishing but I came home to find most of his clothes gone. I sent him the e-mail below and he fessed up he is at his house but wants to be alone to think. I plan on leaving him totally and completely alone but here is what I said before he asked for that: Darling, A person doesn't need an entire wardrobe to go on a fishing trip. So would you mind telling me what's really going on? If your counselor is right, and you have issues with your mom, then please work them out with her-not with or through me or with/through my child. I am not your mother or your friend with benefits. I am your wife and I won't be turned into (ex-gf name) to chase you nor will I turn on the vindictive/psychotic. I married you for love,not control, or games.During the time we dated, I came to view you as kind, funny,easy going,considerate,affectionate and cuddly: my soulmate. I married to make you happy and be happy with you as we were when we were dating and went to baseball games and all that, but if that makes you feel trapped there is nothing I can do. Your counselor may think you are staying away because I nag but I did not start nagging until not coming home at a reasonable hour started to look like a pattern. The nagging was a reaction, not the cause and I am tired of excuses, fault finding, and accusations. So come back home with all your clothes ready to be happy as a family or come get the clothes you left here prepared to discuss an annulment or divorce. I bought them for you as birthday gifts, not to obligate you. They are yours to keep no matter what happens between us and you can wear them, swap them, or throw them into the deep blue sea. I don't care.They are your clothes and material things don't mean anything to me. What I care about is love, respect, and happiness. Hopefully so do you. Love, Your wifeNo Shannon, I did not "cougar" him. I am 10yrs. younger and I am in my 40s more

Resolved Question: Grandma died... what do I do now?

I live in Texas and my family is in Illinois. My parents have been divorced for about 7 years and I have not spoken to my grandparents in just as long. No Christmas/Birthday/Easter/Graduation cards, they didn't come to my wedding, and not a phone call either way in just as long.

Resolved Question: Social networking, posion for some people?

Okay, so I have this opinion about social networking sites such as Myspace & Facebook and want to see if anyone is on the same page as I am. Personally, I think it is bad for myself to have one.. but know that it just depends on the individual using it and probably age as well. When you are in highschool or in college *in some cases* you know more people and may be more likely to communicate with those you know online. I don't know if it is laziness or the simple fact of not know what to say back to someone, but I find that in a lot of cases I will see someone I recognize and try to ask them how they are doing. They almost never reply or give short answers and are never heard from again. These are people that I never once had a fight with and actually hung out with and had a friendship at some point in my life. I think it is better for me personally to not have any of these sites and just have my friends phone numbers and e-mail addresses. I think people have become to accustomed to the easy internet life where you can just post "happy birthday" on someone's page or wall rather than giving them a meaningful phone call. I don't get hardly any messages any more or comments. My site has turned into just a display of pictures and I have a problem with looking at other people's sites that have more money than me or are much better off and getting jealous or envious of them. I think it is poison to someone who is in a vulnerable state of mind to have 50 or more friends and only talk to one or two and get ignored by the rest. Am I over reacting? Or making a positve step to a better life style for myself? I have no problems sending an actually christmas card to a good friend rather than posting a graphic on there page.. now to get one back in return is not likely because everyone is into the fast and easy way. more

Resolved Question: Ex-wife still tries to contact me.?

Hello all. I am in a relationship with someone. My birthday is near, and my ex-wife sent me a card. While I do think it was very thoughtful, I can't have her doing this anymore as my GF lives with me. I have drafted a message, but wanted some input. Do you think it is cut and dry? We have been separated for 3 years. My Draft: I didn't know another e-mail address to send this too, but thank you for the card. It was very thoughtful of you. I have a favor to ask of you. I'm not trying to be mean or harsh so please do not take it that way. I have stopped communications with you because I am in a relationship with someone. It would not be fair to her if I were communicating with you. Though I do appreciate the card, please do not send anything to me going forward. In the mean time, you have asked me to forgive you on several occcasions. I want you to know I hold nothing against you at all. You have done nothing wrong. I initiated our devorce, and assume responsibility for it. Therefor, you have nothing to be sorry about. I think you are a great person, and I hope you find someone, if you haven't already, who will treat you the way you deserve. I hope you are doing well. I truely do. Additionally, I'm not trying to be melodramatic, but I hope you understand why I cannot continue to communicate with you. I wish you the best, Maria. Take care,Thanks for the responses. Let me clarify that we have officially divorced. more

Resolved Question: Should I start talking to my dad again?

I stopped talking to my dad a little over 3 years ago. It is a long story but what was going on is that my parents were divorcing and my mother who had my three younger siblings told me to stop talking to her if I was going to be talking to my dad also. This was in a card she left me for my 19th birthday at my door step. So I ended up not talking to her and spending a lot of time with my dad who I felt sorry for because she woudln't talk to him or let him see my younger brothers and sisters. Then one day he just stopped talking to me and my older sister and our husbands. We tried calling him and getting a hold of him and he wouldn't answer. We finally got a hold of him around Xmas and he promised he would spend Xmas eve with my sister her husband me and my husband. We set a time and waited for him at her house and he never showed up. We tried calling but all our calls went to voicemail. I found out later that he started talking to my mom again and decided to spend christmas and christmas eve with them. This hurt because I felt like he would rather spend his time with that half of the family than with us even though we were there for him through all of this. So I sent him an e-mail tell him him that I didn't want anything to do with him. I just started talking to my mom about 5 months ago and still don't talk to him. For some reason it was easier to forgive her and I still have a lot of resentment towards him. When we were speaking to him and spending a lot of time together he invided me and my older ssister to his house and apologized "sincerly" to us for being such a bad father. Then like 3 months later he just cuts us out of his life. I'm 23 and my husbands 25 I got married when I was 17 to get the hell away from them lol. But I have my own life and everything. I had a dream that he died last night and feel like it's time to forgive. It's hard to not feel mad still but I'm not sure what to do... What would you do? more

I met my girlfriend back in 2003 so now its 2009. And were still Communicating 6 years on. Unfortunately she has no access to the internet as she lives out in the countryside. Province: Chaiyaphum. Khon Sawan her nearest village. Not like the built up area`s, Bangkok- Pattaya etc. So it is impossible for us to e-mail each other. I have shown letters and birthday cards and X-mas cards etc to the embassy!! She is quite good at speaking English and can write a few words. Alot better than I could ever try writing in Thai!! So i think that is not an issue!! We apply ed for a visitors visa and obviously I was to be the sponsor. Just so we can spend sometime together as it is hard for me to take the time off to go and visit her as often as I would like to. Due to work commitments.

Resolved Question: Leading a double life or am I just paranoid?

My girlfriend is Asian, please no stereotypes. I am not feeling comfortable about her other lives she might be living. Basically these are issues of trust. Two weeks ago she went to another city for a four day weekend, last weekend we met only once in the weekend and this weekend she is again in the other city visiting her cousin. I have never met the cousin but I have heard her voice on the other end of the phone so I think she is real enough. Last week my girlfriend told me that she meet a business man that her cousin knew. My girlfriend told me that the man told the cousin that he likes my girlfriend The man wants to create a telephone calling card and has asked my girlfriend to translate English into her own native language. She will do it as she has time and her cousin does not. Last week my girlfriend and I spent time together and her cell phone rang, it was the business man, who I have also never met. My girlfriend sat naked talking to this guy for few minutes, I did drape a blanket around her so she would keep warm. Since I thought she was busy with me I do not understand why she answered the phone. When she is busy with other people and if I call her I get put onto voice mail which she does not know how to use. This week my girlfriends home-stay got broken into, she was able to call the business man and talk to him. In fact he called her three times while I was there and she talked to him all three times. Her business man friend wanted to help and even offered to drive down to where we live to comfort my girlfriend. She said he didn't need to do that. One statement she made was if she had gotten home earlier she might have been killed, this is what she told her businessman friend. My girlfriend would never say anything like that to me so I do not understand why she would say it to another man. I think she was going over the top a bit, being too much of a drama queen. Sure my girlfriend wanted to feel out her man friends reaction and sadly I was unable to hear his reply, I was close enough to my girlfriend to hear his voice but not his reply. I sent an E-mail or text to my girlfriends phone in the afternoon with no reply. After doing that I got a sick feeling in my stomach imagining all kinds of things that my girlfriend might be doing in another city with a man who likes her. My girlfriend goes and stays with her cousin and her cousin does not know anything of our friendship and relationship. If I send a message to my girlfriend when she is at her cousins she does not reply, or if she does, it is when she is alone. My girlfriend is proud and does not want her cousin to know that my girlfriend has a boyfriend as her cousin would tell her mother and her mother would tell my girlfriends mother. Then a 1000 questions would need to be answered or some accountability would be needed. Maybe her cousin wants to be a matchmaker with someone more suitable than me. A man that is successful and not a man that needs to rebuild his life. So here is my question. Am I being paraniod? Does anyone think my girlfriend is leading a double life to some extent? Are my concerns to much or am I being too over protective. For my girlfriend, our country is the New World, I think she wants to see what kind of power and effect she has on men from my country. I think she might also want to find a man she can control or find a man who has more to offer than what I have to offer at this point in time. I also really want to talk to my girlfriend about how I feel. I live by myself and I do get lonely, more so when I do not meet my girlfriend, and also when she goes off to another city to play. My girlfriend also told me that we will spend more time together when it is her birthday. I do not understand why this is a conditional clause in our friendship and relationship. I think if she wanted to spend more time with me she would want to make an effort and not leave me on the back burner. I really feel I am second fiddle now, my girlfriend tells me I cannot make so many plans for us to go away together as she needs to go to this other city and help with business plans. more

Resolved Question: How do I best help my son through his childhood when his father won't have anything to do with him?

I am divorced for 5 years. My son was 8 when his dad left. His father has not called, written, sent a birthday card or a Christmas card, and only pays child support now because the feds caught up with him. My son wanted to send a letter to his father and I was able to find an e-mail address of his aunt, so I e-mailed her to see if she would give me the address to send the letter to. (Since his father moved to another state, we don't even live close enough to try to find him ourselves and he has been very careful to cover his tracks so that he can't be found through online searches, etc.) Her response was that my ex does not want me to have his address because he doesn't want to have any contact with me and he "doesn't know how to have a relationship with his son without having contact with me". Soo.... my son is really forced to choose which parent he wants to have a relationship with. What can I do to help him through this? He is devastated as a teenager (he is 13) and I just want to do whatever I can to make him feel better. more
