hi, am 29, was a nice guy for 27yrs, no girl ever liked me, i was always respectful to women&helped them, listened to their problems, gave them anything they needed, but they only laughed at me and never wanted to date me or anything and saw me as a loser. but then 1 day i turned into an asshole, was mean to them, got them drunk, abused them, verbally assault them, yet they(same girls, and others too) come running to me&want to sleep/have relationships with me? i mean how does that work? wheres the logic in that? it doesnt make sense, can anyone please help?
Several people have told me that new york women are the most stuck-up women in all of america. Their reasoning: These women get pursued by so many guys everyday since this is a city of approximately 8 million, and it is likely that even a decent girl would be pursued by at least 20 guys. In the process, this super-inflates the ego of the new york city girls and they tend to become total snobs who are completely full of themselves.
And I have heard that new york city women at the bars and clubs are the worst. Sure, there may be many beautiful ones..but they are the meanest and coldest women you could ever meet. Every guy supposedly has hit on them whether they are celebrities, investment bankes, CEO's, or any big shot. and from what i have heard, going to clubs as a guy in new york city lowers your self esteem tremendously especially if you are an average guy or just a student.
Can someone tell me if this is all true or is this guy just a loser who is shy around women?
I was only on the depo shot for six months and decided to get off it because it seemed there were too many risks for long term use. I spotted through out most of those six months and I've been waiting for my body to return to it's regular cycle. I was supposed to get the shot again in May but changed my mind and it's been five months. It seemed this month I got my period back, (cramping, bleeding, and the uterine lining discharge instead of the occasional spotting) but when it seemed like it ended the spotting has kept up. I'm nervous because my fiancee and I want to have children in our immediate future and I'm worried that I may be infertile because of this shot. How long does it take for a woman to become pregnant after getting off depo and have a healthy pregnancy? Does this shot have long term negative effects even if you are on it only a short period of time? The doctor who administered it told me that bone deficiency would be the only problem and that it would take as many months I have been on it to years to return to my cycle.
It was a bright, cloudless morning. A slight gust of wind rustled my long, brown hair on my way to the front door. The building in front of me was large and significantly aged. A faded golden brick perfectly lined the building, only broken by the tall windows and glass doors. I turned back towards the main road and noticed my mom waving. Her pale skin looked warm from the golden sun.
"Have fun on the first day at your new school, Haley!" she exclaimed excitedly.
I smiled in reply and watched her drive the midnight black SUV towards the exit of the long winding driveway. She waved temporarily and then pulled her hand inside as she approached the main road. I stood there, hoping she would turn around... come back and take me home. But no such luck. I took in a deep breath and then made my way through the front doors. I walked toward the smiling receptionist I had just met the day before.
"Are you excited about starting today?" she asked sincerely. An aged, but friendly woman- she had helped comfort me while my parents registered me yesterday.
"Yes," I lied. Of course I wasn't excited. Being tossed into another school after it had already been in session this year. A thing I had unwillingly become accustomed to- entirely due to the constant relocating of my father's job. I knew that the students passing in the hallway had made their friends- established the group they hung out with. Not to mention, they probably all grew up together.
"Hi!" A girl's voice broke my concentration and I looked towards her direction. "I’m Elle. I will be showing you where all your classes are."
Her skin was considerably tan- her hair seemed to only be a few shades darker. She was taller than I was, and very thin. Her neon blue t-shirt seemed to stand out against the dark skin.
"Um, okay," I replied.
"So," she started before glancing down at a small paper in her hand, “Haley, is it?"
"Yes."
"It is nice to meet you Haley! Are you ready for the tour?"
"Nice to meet you too." Her smile helped to put me at ease temporarily, and I nodded to acknowledge that I was ready.
I was far from ready though. I always dreaded when the tour began because it was now closer to ending. When it ended, I knew it was time to start classes: Classes with students who would notice the new girl. I sighed and then followed Elle out of the office and down the hallway towards the classrooms.
The walls looked as if someone had painted white over cinderblocks. There were two painted lines, red and black, that ran along the walls at waist level, which obviously signaled the school colors. The painted lines only broke when interrupted by the presence of the student lockers. Tall, wooden, and a disgustingly dark brown: A sure sign of the school's age. The floors were a faded white tile. Several hallways branched off, only to have a few gray doors and nothing else. There was a staircase that led to a bottom floor, which I’d noticed was partially built into the hill before I entered this morning.
"Here is your first class, English," she stated while looking at the paper in her hand- my schedule obviously. We were stopped at a closed door next to the stairwell. The sign next to the door read "210".
"Ok," I replied. I mentally jotted down the route in my head.
She stayed focused on my schedule and it left me confused. I began to get flustered. Had she meant for me to go in now?
"Ok," she quickly said, "I was just seeing when you had lunch. You will have second lunch, so you will go to your third period class and then to lunch. Remember that, okay?"
"Ok," I answered. "Um, what lunch do you have?"
I was hopeful that I would have someone to sit with on my first day. Elle quickly glanced at me and then lead the way to my next class before responding.
"I have first lunch."
"Oh."
Go figure. The chances of me sitting with someone on the first day? Slim to none.
We continued on with the tour. Environmental Science, Journalism, Study Hall, American History, and Geometry. I had to circle the rooms on the campus map to keep from getting them all mixed up. Luckily most of my classes were on the top floor, but unlucky that my locker was the farthest from every single one of them. The tour ended much too soon, and I found myself in front of the door to my new English class again. Elle walked me in.
A student teacher, or perhaps a guest speaker, was lecturing about American & British Literature. She had blonde shoulder-length hair, slightly tan skin, and a nice semi-casual outfit. To the left of where she rambled on, the teacher was sitting at her desk. Her dark brown hair was considerably curly, and her skin had a hint of an olive tone. Her outfit was nowhere near as nice as the other woman, but it seemed to be highly comfortable.
“Mrs. Stacey?” Elle whispered. “I have Haley Cole here.” She handed her my schedule and Mrs. Stac
“Mrs. Stacey?” Elle whispered. “I have Haley Cole here.” She handed her my schedule and Mrs. Stacey nodded. Elle gave me a parting smile and then left the classroom.
“Hi, Haley. Have a seat in the third row… the second seat there.” Mrs. Stacey pointed to the only empty seat in the classroom, right smack in the front, behind a shaggy brown haired boy. “We have a guest speaker, so all you have to do is listen for today.”
“Thank you,” I replied with a half-smile.
I quickly strode over to my seat and tried to keep my breathing calm. I felt endless eyes boring into the back of my skull. I heard something about Edgar Allen Poe come out of the guest speaker’s mouth, but I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn’t hear anything else the rest of the class period.
Diiiing.
The three classes I had before lunch were uneventful and repetitive. I was given some random seat, and then told to listen to lectures about some very boring topic. Lunch finally arrived and I wa
Beep. Beep. Beep. BEEP.
I quickly rolled over and slammed the snooze button of my alarm clock. It couldn’t be time to get ready for school already. I glanced at the clock as the glowing red numbers displayed the dreaded time.
6:30 A.M.
At this point, my brain played a trick on itself. And for some reason, I really did believe it was Saturday and I mistakenly set my alarm. The only way to fix this would be to go back to sleep. So I did.
“Haley? WAKE UP!” my mom frantically exclaimed as she flipped on my bedroom light. “It’s Seven A.M. You need to get ready or you will be late!”
Stupid, stupid brain of mine.
was given some random seat, and then told to listen to lectures about some very boring topic. Lunch finally arrived and I was suddenly anxious. Who would I sit with? Where would I sit? I already knew the answers to that. No one, and on the end of a random empty table. I strode over to the line in the cafeteria and patiently waited. I eyed any available seats that wouldn’t be centered in someone else’s group of friends.
Finally, the line quickly ended and I was grabbing my tray of popcorn chicken, fries, and a bottled Pepsi. This school had such a large food choice compared to my last, but also a higher price to pay for the variety.
“That will be $5.50,” the short, chubby lunch lady noted. Her eyes obviously caught my slightly shocked reaction to the price.
I gave her the twenty dollar bill my mom had given me. It was meant to last two weeks. My old school only had two varieties to choose from, but they were a heck of a lot cheaper. I wouldn’t even make a wee
week at these prices.
“There ya go, hun. $14.50 in change.”
“Thank you,” I replied and then quickly darted for the nearest empty table.
I quickly sat down with my lunch and pulled a small book out of my purse. I felt like everyone was watching my every movement, but I was reluctant to check that fact. I avoided any possible stares as I glanced up to find a clock on the wall. Oh no. There were still 20 minutes left of lunch. When will it end?
Suddenly I felt a slight breeze as if someone had walked by me. I turned around, but saw no one there. I started to nibble on a fry while focusing on the novel I brought with me today. I could hardly pay any attention to it.
“Haley.”
My head shot around to see who had acknowledged me. But, again, no one was there. It had sounded as if someone whispered directly into my ear. Hmph. Nerves are getting to me.
“Hey!” a boy’s voice rang, making me jump slightly.
I turned back around, away from the strange
voice, to look at the boy sitting across from me now. His smile was extremely friendly.
I gave him a quick smile in reply and then looked around to see if anyone else would be joining him. “I’m sorry, am I taking someone’s seat?”
“No, I just noticed you were sitting alone. Are you new or something?”
“Yes,” I blushed. Couldn’t he have just left me alone? I quickly looked down to my open book, hoping to discourage any more prying questions he may have.
“What’s that? Homework already?”
“No, it’s not homework… just killing time.”
“Oh.”
I tried everything to signal that I would rather be left alone; from lack of conversation to paying my undivided attention to my open book. He tried to ask more questions, but I would just answer a simple “yes” or “no” and then go right back to reading. Finally, the bell rang and I hopped up, without a second glance to the boy, and darted for my next class. I guess I should have been friendlier to him, but I was used to
being a loner. I couldn’t remember his face, let alone if he said his name. One thing I knew was that I would no longer sit there again.
Like the beginning of my day, the rest of the classes were exactly the same. Sit and listen. I did take notice that Elle was in my Chemistry class, and she gave me a quick smile when she walked in. I gave her a tiny wave, and then watched as she went to her seat… at the other end of the classroom.
I was extremely happy to hear the final bell of the day, and even happier to see my mom waiting to pick me up at the front of the school. A familiar face was all I needed to feel more relaxed.
“So, how was your day?” she asked as I climbed into the passenger seat.
“Ugh, boring, like always.”
“Did you make any new friends? Who did you sit with at lunch? Learn anything?”
“I’m glad to be going home, mom. I’m even gladder that this is the last move of my school career,” I said with a sigh of relief. I couldn’t even begin to
explain how grateful I was for never having to go through this again.
“Soooo?” she chimed, searching for the answer to her previous questions.
“Today was boring, I didn’t learn a thing.”
“Well, it’s only the first day.”
I nodded in agreement as we pulled into the driveway of my new home. We had just received the keys the day before, and the movers arrived while I was at school today. Sleeping in a hotel sucks. Especially waking up in a sardine-can-of-a-room and getting ready for my first day of my new high school. I’m just glad that’s out of the way.
The night went by too fast. I received more prying questions from my dad. Luckily my little brother got to bear some of it with me. Although, being in elementary limits his vocabulary to “good” and “fun.” Oh, and he even made friends. Yeah, so maybe I could have too. I ended up going to bed, in my own bed thankfully, with piles of boxes lying around waiting to be unpacked. There was always later.
Nick: Thank you. I just started this on a whim, and I have so many ideas of where to take the story. Ideally, it will be supernatural in nature. Possibly a supernatural antagonist.
Judaism is pretty accepting of all faiths. Christians used to kill and torture, but they've mellowed out after the Holocaust. Muslims enslave women and kill "infidels." Scientologists hurt people, too.
Are the newer religions inherently more violent or are they violent because they're new?
From what I've seen on TV and such, it seems that all women are bisexual or have the tendency to be that way. If a female goes to prison for a length of time, she WILL become gay or bi. It's in ALL women to become bi or possibly gay. I've no idea why women just dont all come out and admit the truth as there is nothing wrong with it.
There is no such thing as a 100% straight woman. I am a man, and I know I am right on this one. Please girls just admit the truth.
I want to be devotee like these three people. They show an amazing example of what Christianity should be about. How can I devote more like these three women. I want to be a soldier of God. Please help.
I left my husband 1 yr and 8 months ago. we have 3 children ages 10, 6, and 4, all boys. the oldest is from my first marriage but his dad died when he was 6 months old and I married my 2nd husband when he was 2 1/2 yrs old. He has always called him daddy and he is the only dad hes ever known. The marraige was not particularly bad and he was really not a bad person I just didnt love him and married him for the wrong reasons. I wanted to give my son a father. He was an ok dad tthroughout the marriage his ony fault being he worked late every day and didnt spend, in my opinion, enough time with the kids unless I would nag him enough to take a day off once in a while.
He was seeing the kids roughly one day every other weekend when we first seperated (I wanted it to be more but he always said he had to work) but soon after he started dating someone and it became less and less to where he has not seen them in over a year and a half. the woman is psycho. she has called me several times to cuss me out for calling his phone to ask if he would see the kids. (mind you I had never met this woman at this time) and to tell me that my oldest son (who has called him daddy for most of his life) was not his son and he, my ex, didnt love him like he loved his other kids and that he wasnt welcome at their house. I know he and her are just selfish and I dont want to subject my kids to them. But people tell me my kids are better off and I know they are but how do I help them deal with the fact their daddy doesnt wanna see them or doesnt call on birthdays or xmas ? I struggle with money as well and he doesnt pay his court ordered child suport. but my main concern is the effect it will have on the kids knowing their daddy doesnt want them. we live in the same town only miles apart so we do run into him from time to time and I dont know if I should let my kids run and greet him like they wanna do or what. I cant stand to look at him. the kids do not really ask a lot about him but i have on a few occasions sat down with them and told them that daddy does love you but he is just not thinking straight right now and what he is doing is wrong. i realy dont know what else to say to them. I am afraid they are suffering silently with this since they never bring it up to me.
I remember reading this book along time ago when I was still in high school, so I hope somebody can help me with the title.
It's a horror genre book and basically it starts with some kind of infection that makes the person(s) who are infected rot away. I vaguely and correct me if I wrong, recall some kind of mist.
One man who was obsessed with a woman from and Island was infected and crawled into her room and raped her. She later became pregnant due to the continuous attack. The infected seem to have some abilities but I'm not really sure. The book ended with her, her son, and her new born child escaping the infection zone by boat and with the child also being infected.
At first I though it was some book by John Saul but so far I really doubt it since I read all the summaries for some of his books and don't see anything similar to what I read.
Can anyone help me?
ok..here is my story...i was young when a got with this guy....really nice..
i was happy... then i got pregnant...the same month i became preggo...he got deported to his home country..a few months later a had a baby and he was with another girl...we have kept in contact through out the years and i guess have some sort of feelings for each other..i think this is because we didn't finish our relationship properly...we were torn apart...i still have feelings for him but i know that he is not the same guy i fell in love with 10 years ago...he is still with the other girl and they also have kids together....i know this is a nono but i was just hoping someone out there can give me some advice i really need it i have nobody that would give me there honest opinion...tks
I have been recently married to my wife yesterday,but when we where engaged men where always trying to get her attention in an inappropriate manner right in front of me or when I wasn't around. She's a beautiful African-American woman who is very different from other females and that is very intelligent and outspoken without being the typical "loud" woman. But guys tick me off when they do this. What can I do to avoid conflict without becoming violent or jealous?
Today I was at my local grocery store and there was a young couple (I would say mid-20ish) with their toddler buying what seemed to be a basket full of junk food. Things like brownies, sodas, cookies, chocolates, frozen pizzas, and so on.
They then paid with their EBT card and left. As they were, I could not help but feel a bit upset. My thoughts were this:
"Why are they buying unhealthy food for their child? I thought food stamps were so people can purchase food to SURVIVE...not become unhealthy and maybe even sick by the food they buy with food stamps. Why can't it be regulated like WIC (Women Infants and Children) where you can only buy so much of milk, bread, etc.?"
Quite simply...I got upset because ultimalty I as the taxpayer am helping with the food stamp program. And this is where my money is going to?
What do you think? I live in California by the way.
Yea.
I know.
Bummer :(
Whoa whoa whoa kick back now...socialist? haha I'm just asking if you feel the same way or not. I am open to criticism, but pleas do not assume I am a socialist simply by this question:-)
I am probably of the most open minded women in the world. I'm a white lesbian in my forties, I have gay friends, lesbian friends, straight friends, bi friends, black friends, Asian friends etc. etc. I enjoy having a diverse circle. I don't discriminate.
But what's really pissing me off is the hatred between my friends Tiffany and Stanley. Tiffany is a heterosexual transwoman and Stanley is a very feminine, flamboyant gay male. I can understand if they hate each other because one of the f*cked the other's boyfriend or if one of them stole something from the other. But noooo, it's personal and it's prejudice.
Stanley hates Tiffany because he thinks transwomen make feminine gay guys look like bad to the straight community and they make them look like "sellouts" to the gay community. Stanley is pissed off because he feels that he can't be comfortable in his femininity without people accusing him of wanting to be a woman. He thinks Tiffany only became a woman because she's "too much of a coward to face the harsh straight world as a gay man, so she chose to get a sex change so she can appear as a regular straight woman and make her life easier".
Tiffany hates Stanley because she thinks that feminine gay men are the reason why society can't understand transsexuals and take them seriously. She feels that if Stanley is really comfortable with being a man then he should "act like one". Tiffany is pissed off because according to her if it wasn't for gay femmes like Stanley, the world would not think of transwomen as "gay men who decided to take femininity too far".
I can agree with both of their points(please don't flame me). But I REFUSE to judge. I just want them to stop harassing each other, because I care about them both.
Two questions
1. Do you think any or both of them made a valid point?
2. What can I say to get them to understand each other, especially considering that I feel they both have valid points?
I really don't understand this. I don't want it to be this way, I absolutely hate it. I really hope I'm just going through a phase and I change. If this is for real, I don't know what I'll do. I will lose all my friends. My close friends are all Christians. I know they would not support me if I was a lesbian. I don't think they'd like me any less or be cruel to me, they just wouldn't be able to say it's ok and I'm not sure I could take them not completely accepting me.
Something I've strived for my whole life is acceptance and if this is real, I'll never get it. I just want to be normal. What I want so much is just to get married to a man, have a few children and live a normal happy life. I know things don't always turn out the way you want them but if I am a lesbian, things definitely can't turn out ok. Sure, I could get a girlfriend and be somewhat happy but I'd never be completely happy, I'd be ashamed and I'd not get that normal family that I've always wanted. You'll say you can adopt a child. I don't want to adopt. You'll say you can get sperm donation, no thank you. I don't think I could do that to a child. I feel like, if it's possible, you should always give a child a father and a mother. They'll resent you for taking that away from them. I believe a man and a woman can give different things to a child and if possible you should give it to them. You shouldn't limit the child. Obviously many single parents do a great job but I doubt when they got pregnant they decided that they didn't want the father to stay around. I want my children to have happy lives. I believe you need a heck of a lot more than love to raise a child. You see? The only way I can be happy is by living a straight life. I like the idea of having a boyfriend. As, I said, I believe goth genders can do different things. I would just like to marry a man who would protect me, that kind of thing. However, I wouldn't be sexually attracted to him.
I don't even really understand my feelings. Perhaps I'm not a lesbian after all. Yes, it is about the physical attraction but I feel like it is mainly to do with emotions. I feel like sometimes, I can be ever so slightly attracted to a man physically (maybe I'm just realizing he's good looking but not attracted to him?) but never emotionally. For women it's both. As I said, it's actually mainly about emotions. Perhaps I'm just one of those people who aren't really really sexual? If I was, it would be easier to tell...
I've never had a girlfriend or boyfriend. I just know I'm not ready to have one. My emotions are too weird right now. I'm also worried that if I do get a girlfriend to see if that's what I like, then it will influence me more and I will subconsciously become a lesbian (sounds crazy, I know...) You see, what causes homosexuality? I know you will all say you're born that way but I'm really not sure about that. Perhaps if I just kept out of all this and tried to convince myself I'm not? If I just don't give in. Maybe it's just psychological and down to my experiences and environment. My environment has been weird. I've gone to an all girls school for the past 7 years and bearly have any friends who are boys. So if it is environmental, that probably didn't help...
When do you think I will know? You see, I don't want to rush into anything. So does this mean I may have to wait until I'm 30 to get a girlfriend/boyfriend? :P
Well, I don't know what I'm asking. I'd just like some advise...what do you think of my situation? Can anyone relate to it?
Thanks very much
I"m from the USA. But i like Japanese women. I'm 29.
I've chatted to japanese women online since years ago. And i have some that i regularly chat too. Also i've found a girl that's really interested in me cause i met her at a dating site. She's japanese.
She said that if we continue the relationship that she may even come to america to meet me.
I know rich people can do that kind of relationship because they can go to japan. But i'm poor and don't really want to go to japan ever. I don't like traveleing .
But there may be a way. I may actually go someday if she becomes my GF.
Anyways, i know long distance relationships between people of 2 countries don't always work because people meet people and have social lives in their own country.
BUT that's outgoing talkative people. I"m shy , she's shy and there's almost no chance that we will start having social lives in our countries . So we will remain faithful .. unless all of the sudden a sexy girl in my city started seducing me hehehehe. which is like 0 probability.
I'm 29 , the japanese girl 23.
have been attending a college course for a year now and it is emotionally draining. It's nature is such that you become emotionally close to your fellow trainee's. There was this man on the course, a recovering alcoholic (hadn't drank for 15 years) he seemed so sensitive and i was attracted to him in someway. It was me making all the effort at first and because he didn't drive i would always drive to his. I became close to and we started a relationship. I knew he had a few psychological issues but he seemed so sensitive and good to talk to. We would spend 4 days at a time together and we enjoyed eachothers company. He bought me things and would be there for me when i needed him. Every so often he would have an outburst of anger and smash things up and put me down by saying nast things to me. Then he would say he didn't want a relationship and want me to get out. Then he would want to see me but be friends, then i would end up staying over and start seeing eachother again. We would go round and round like this all the time, one minute he would want to be with me and have me around the next minute not. He started to tell me how one of the other women on the course was saying sexual things to him and said he was sexy and in front of me he would send her messages so i would see. I started getting paranoid and if i mentioned something he would say 'you've got low self esteem etc etc''. I had to go into hospital and he came with me. He said to the women involved that he went with me because i had no one to go with, which upset me, i asked him why he couldn't have told her that he came with me because we we're seeing eachother and got anoyed with him. In the end i told the women involved that we we're in a relationship and told her what he had said about her messages and saying he's sexy etc, we had a good chat and she denied a lot of what he had said so we came to the conclusion that he was playing games in some way. I called up my tutor and had a word with her, and she was really good, and told a friend from the course what had gone on. Even though it has turned out that he was playing some kind of head games, I still feel bad now for telling her what he has said, and feel like i've broken his trust, and now i have to go into college and face him, and the people that know we have been seeing eachother. I don't know what to do, please help.
Do ye think it would last??
Cancers wear their hearts on their sleeves and become very clingy/ jealous and want to settle down while Sagg men are usually bachelors who love their freedom and move on when the sex becomes boring....true??
Do ye think it would last in the long run?!
As a tomboy living in New York City, I've been subject to "fashion confusion" as my friend calls it over the years.
For example, while walking to work the past couple of days I discovered that many women were wearing rainboots. I later found out by talking to my mom (who lives in New Jersey) that this was a new fashion trend.
C'mon. Rainboots? Not only do they look stupid, they're uncomfortable! I'd never want to walk around with a pair of big clunky rainboots. Ten years ago, heck, even two years ago, if people had seen us walking around with rainboots they would have fallen over laughing. I last wore a pair of those when I was five.
Well, the point I'm getting at is this: Who decides what's fashionable and what's not? Sometimes the stupidest things become the new "In", and I'm just wondering who died and who was crowned the new "Fashion Queen".
...or have any of you felt that this decision was not painful..but felt relieved?
I'm not here to judge. I just want to know from other women.
Answers such as " Oh no, I would never "kill" my baby", etc. really are not helpful and just make me feel like that person hasn't been in a situation or suffered so much that it was dire and ab. became an option.
Sorry if that sounds mean...just being honest. I would just like stories of women and their experience with losing a pregnancy/baby. I know that scientifically many pregnancies are not babies..but it's just whatever you consider from your standpoint.
I'm going to be asking this question a lot because I am compiling stuff for a book I am writing..it will take a long time though.
Thanks
Yes that would be great..please email it to cocobella333@yahoo.com. Thanks a lot
I am probably one of a million woman who have fears about childbirth but i am 38 weeks along and i am desperate for some kind of reasurance, i have become very obsessive about tearing and episiotomies, i feel like all the pain of labour would not bother me much at all if i knew i wasn't going to tear or need a cut , the thought to me is very grusome and i'v seen alot of videos on the web that have made me start balling my eyes out. I am looking forward to holding my baby more than anything but my mind just won't let go of this fear, can anyone give me an idea of what i'm really facing when it comes to this fear. It bothers me that if it is supposed to be completly natural to give birth then why does the baby just barely fit through...i'v seen a few videos where i was seriously shocked that the baby made it out at all.
I think the story took place in Canada or in Northern US. The man was a med student and the woman was much older (around 40-45 i think) they had a son together and after they broke up she became obsessed with him. She shot him by a park and then years later drown their son in a lake? I think she may have killed herself too. Its from the late 80's early 90's and it's been bugging me! thanks!
Spelling
My daughter plays on the floor
with plastic letters,
red, blue & hard yellow,
learning how to spell,
spelling,
how to make spells.
I wonder how many women
denied themselves daughters,
closed themselves in rooms,
drew the curtains
so they could mainline words.
A child is not a poem,
a poem is not a child.
there is no either/or.
However.
I return to the story
of the woman caught in the war
& in labour, her thighs tied
together by the enemy
so she could not give birth.
Ancestress: the burning witch,
her mouth covered by leather
to strangle words.
A word after a word
after a word is power.
At the point where language falls away
from the hot bones, at the point
where the rock breaks open and darkness
flows out of it like blood, at
the melting point of granite
when the bones know
they are hollow & the word
splits & doubles & speaks
the truth & the body
itself becomes a mouth.
This is a metaphor.
How do you learn to spell?
Blood, sky & the sun,
your own name first,
your first naming, your first name,
your first word.
can you analyze this stanza
Ancestress: the burning witch,
her mouth covered by leather
to strangle words.
A word after a word
after a word is power.
Why did each one become your choice? You may choose from both the living and the deceased.
I am confused. Since it feels like I am in the twilight zone, so here are the facts:
01 - I have been married now for 10 years
02 - I have 2 boys with my wife, one is 8 and the other 6
03 - My wife and I started having problems after our first
04 - However, my wife and I don't really talk, we don't get along
05 - She doesn't listen to me, and finds it hard to talk to me
06 - Anyway, around 5 years ago, I met a Annette who became a friend
07 - My wife does not like ANY of my female friends and never has
08 - Annette although a hippie in nature didn't want conflict of any type
09 - So we hardly went out together or met up
10 - My wife always suspected me of cheating since the beginning
11 - Hand on heart I NEVER was and NEVER did till
12 - I naturally attract the women and enjoy talking to them
13 - When the problems at home grew worse and worse
14 - Annette was feeling worse and worse about being lone
15 - Everytime my wife and I had problems I would leave the house
16 - So Annette and I started to spend more and more time together
17 - After awhile we decided to sleep together
18 - And this right after, one of my wifes legendary blow-ups
19 - Annette's mom died, and I was there for her during that whole time
20 - Eventually she said she didnt want to be alone
21 - Since she had no family, no siblings or cousins etc
22 - So we decided that IF she had kids she would have family
23 - So we decided to have a baby, so SHE would have a family
24 - After losing our first, she eventually gave birth to a girl
25 - I gave her a baby, a sign of unconditional love
26 - Her baby,not mine, someone who would love HER unconditionally
27 - Since our baby was borne out of love and
28 - She didnt want our baby to be alone, she and I decided
29 - to have another baby, to give her a baby brother
30 - So when me and her mom were dead
31 - she would have her own FULL relative
32 - A true member of HER own family
33 - Annette is currently pregnant with our second child
34 - Although I GAVE my friend the babies
35 - I never expected to ever fall in love with my baby girl
36 - And now I cannot be without her
37 - I love her as much as my 2 boys, equally and such
38 - things got real bad with my wife and one day last week
39 - I spent a few nights in the car
40 - And then came home and told her everything
41 - My wife is NOW trying to be very civil to me
42 - My wife and I have only had sex 3 times over the last 2 years
43 - We are not close and not really civil since we always argue
44 - So I decided to end it
45 - I TOLD HER EVERYTHING - didnt hold back anything
This is the part I am confused:
46 - My wife is being too nice to me
47 - She wants to have a relationship with Annette's daughter
48 - She wants to get to know her
49 - She wants to work things out
I am TOTALLY freeking CONFUSED
39 - I told her that if I had told this too 100 women
40 - 80 women would leave me as soon as they knew I had cheated
41 - 15 women would ask for the full story before leaving
42 - 3 women who probably ask me how I felt before leaving me
43 - 1 woman would ask for time, and then leave me
44 - And maybe the last one, would be too confused to decide
But NO ONE would be cool with it, no one would be forgiving
QUESTION:
(a) - What should I do?
(b) - I have 2 women who want to be with me
(c) - I have 2 boys with the wife
(d) - And girl with the other who is pregnant with our second
(e) - this is a mess
What would you do?
Any advice at all .... anyone?
I know I am an idiot, a freeking cheat and all that, and I do not want to go too much into how I knew I was doing wrong, but since I am in this situ, ANY OPINIONS, no matter how distasteful or true are invited
thanks in advance
I just need a good description of Wendy darling...I KNOW' what she looks like I just need a good description.I am writing a fan-fic. and it is about wendy about a year after peter left...she is now 13 and starting to become a beautiful young woman.Here is a description I have thought of...
"Wendy darling had beautiful caramel brown curls fixed perfectly upon her shoulders.her fair skin,rosy cheeks,and pale blue eyes were a breathtaking sight,and her lips a scarlet red were soft as velvet."
Please tell me how you liked it and feel free to rewrite it making any corrections you see necessary.Also if you think you have better idea please share(don't worry I will not copy anyone word for word...I just need some kind of idea or inspiration!)Please make it sound pretty and elegant but don't over-do the vocabulary(and if I overdid my vocab. please say so and possibly correct!)Thanks so much!
Thanks so much for your answers guys...you have no idea how much they helped!I would especially like to thanks "Meg M" and "indigo stars..." for there brilliant answers!"Meg M" I think you were absolutely correct in saying Wendy should not sound so perfect(I thought the same thing while writing my description...I was just having to much fun!lol!)I really loved your answer because it explains Wendy's beauty but she is not perfect just average which I think will make my story even better so thanks so much!Oh and btw I really don't think to much about my spelling on things like yahoo answers...of coarse when I actually write my fan-fic. I will make sure to have spelled and capitalized everything correctly( :!Also don't worry "indigo stars..." I haven't forgotten you.Thank you for being so kind to compliment my work.I liked your answer but I think I am going to have to go with "Meg M's" answer just because it sounds more like what I wanted Wendy to be like but thanks...thx everyone!
I would like to know why some people change their sexuality when they are older. I beleive that for some people, they are homosexual, and find it difficult to accept and deal with until they get older or make the mistake of marriage to the opposite sex.
However I have met many people who I would have assumed are not influenced by this discrimination. I have come across people who have not been anti gay, and had gay friends, but been comfortably straight and then become gay as late as 30 or older. Yet before they became this way there was no indication that that person was uncomfortable with their sexuality at all. Three of my friends from school who are now all in their mid twenties have just, and I mean just, came out as gay. Yet they all knew I was gay and could have gone to gay bars etc, and did not mind gay people and I am sure that if they were gay before they would have just came out.
I have also known gay people who have changed to straight. This happened to two people who my mother went to school with. They came out as gay when they were about 19 and they both got married to the opposite sex and changed sexuality when they were over 30. I even knew a woman who was straight until she was 30 and then got divorced and became lesbian and got a female partner, and at the age of 48 she married a man and became straight again.
For me being gay is a clear cut thing. I have not had any feelings of those kind for women ever, but feel that even if I did, I would surely know which sexuality I was more inclinded to be and would have though feelings for one would be stronger than feelings for the other.
If you can give me some insight into this then please. I just cannot get my head around it.
Many thanks
I won't make the first move with women. There are a few reasons, some philosophical and others psychological. The main reason being it's a social construct I don't agree with.
I'm 25 and I've never kissed, never dated, never held hands, etc. I'm quiet but I am confident in who I am. I'm just not willing to make any effort to pursue a woman until she shows interest in me first. Even if it means I'm destined to die alone and virginal at 93.
have been attending a college course for a year now and it is emotionally draining. It's nature is such that you become emotionally close to your fellow trainee's. There was this man on the course, a recovering alcoholic (hadn't drank for 15 years) he seemed so sensitive and i was attracted to him in someway. It was me making all the effort at first and because he didn't drive i would always drive to his. I became close to and we started a relationship. I knew he had a few psychological issues but he seemed so sensitive and good to talk to. We would spend 4 days at a time together and we enjoyed eachothers company. He bought me things and would be there for me when i needed him. Every so often he would have an outburst of anger and smash things up and put me down by saying nast things to me. Then he would say he didn't want a relationship and want me to get out. Then he would want to see me but be friends, then i would end up staying over and start seeing eachother again. We would go round and round like this all the time, one minute he would want to be with me and have me around the next minute not. He started to tell me how one of the other women on the course was saying sexual things to him and said he was sexy and in front of me he would send her messages so i would see. I started getting paranoid and if i mentioned something he would say 'you've got low self esteem etc etc''. I had to go into hospital and he came with me. He said to the women involved that he went with me because i had no one to go with, which upset me, i asked him why he couldn't have told her that he came with me because we we're seeing eachother and got anoyed with him. In the end i told the women involved that we we're in a relationship and told her what he had said about her messages and saying he's sexy etc, we had a good chat and she denied a lot of what he had said so we came to the conclusion that he was playing games in some way. I called up my tutor and had a word with her, and she was really good, and told a friend from the course what had gone on. Even though it has turned out that he was playing some kind of head games, I still feel bad now for telling her what he has said, and feel like i've broken his trust, and now i have to go into college and face him, and the people that know we have been seeing eachother. I don't know what to do, please help.

Eugenic Sterilization Laws (Rough Draft)
Margaret Sanger once said, “The most merciful thing that a family does to one of its infant members is to kill it”. In the 1900s many countries discriminated against people of different races and physical or mental disability. The Nazi government sterilized many women and men to exterminate the population of Jews, but laws in the United States also permitted sterilizing people of a certain race or disability.
In the early 1900s the United States came up with a eugenics program to perfect the gene pool. The United States was the first country to establish eugenic sterilization laws. The theory of the plan was that if immoral people are kept from having babies than the society problems would disappear. In May 2, 1927 the Supreme Court in Buck v. Bell ruled to support Virginia’s forced sterilization ruling of the unfit. The motive was for the protection and health of the state. By mid 1930s, 34 states had mandatory sterilization laws. “The number of sterilizations performed under these laws, from 1907 to 1964, has been estimated at over 63,500...” (Franks 184). As people started to take notice, many Americans began opposition against sterilizing the mentally disabled. This eventually encouraged the state-rulings, now a parental consent is legally necessary in order to perform an authorized sterilization. Despite the changes in the law, this did not help make it clear on how much protection the mentally disabled actually have. Even as people became aware of the unfair treatment of the mentally disabled, sterilization abuse against the poor was not just over. “…in North Carolina – where Clarence Gamble had established his pet eugenics program ¬– told Nial Ruth Cox that she would have to be sterilized (at age eighteen) if she wished to continue to receive welfare payments” (Franks 185). Physicians were using bribery in order to sterilize people. Back in the 1970s, poor people in the United States consisted of mostly African Americans, Mexican Americans, and Native Americans. In fact, almost twenty-five percent of Native American females were sterilized by 1976. This could have potentially eliminated the Native American race. In due course, civilians started to become aware of the discrimination against the poor and the genocidal effects. This helped renew the idea of freedom of choice. Doctors began reforming eugenics and looked into their studies more open-mindedly. “…family physicians would be able to provide patients with eugenic prognoses of intended offspring, and the patients, so instructed, could make an appropriate decision” (Kevlers 177). Although this is how all doctors should treat patients, eugenic sterilization laws eventually ended in the United States. Now, every patient is able to make important medical decisions for themselves.
I found it hard to believe that even in the 1970s people were sterilized by force. Nobody should be judged by the color of their skin or their disabilities. This is a recurring problem throughout history. Even now, racism is still a problem. Eugenic sterilization in America reminded me of how the Nazis tried exterminating the Jews. I am most disturbed by the fact that hatred among different races was so strong back then, that people were willing to kill each other. I believe our generation may not be able to change the different views of people, but meet it with a different approach. Ali was once a Caliph for the religion Islam, until his people assassinated him because he chose negotiations rather than to destroy his enemies. We like Ali, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King and many other inspirational activists, should fight for what we believe in a nonviolent way. We should not let something like forced sterilization ever repeat history. That will only prove nothing but more hatred among different races.
Forced sterilization is still occurring in the less developed and developing countries. We should help other countries put a stop to this madness. Humanity should stand up and help the less fortunate. “When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but creatures of emotion” (Carnegie)
I am asking all of those who say a man is guilty of rape if he has sex with a woman who is intoxicated. Mind you I said intoxicated not passed out. It is always said " a woman cannot give consent while intoxicated" If that is really the case, should women have to hand over their cash and debit / credit cards once they become intoxicated? I mean if they can't consent to sex than they surely can't consent to any financial / monetary transactions. Why is there never any consideration given to the fact that the man may be just as (or more) intoxicated than the woman?

Both sides constructed and used trenches.
Air attacks increased to set the stage for ground movement.
Use of poisonous gasses declined.
Combat came to a standstill while the French developed new bombs.
9. Why is the massacre of thousands of Armenians by the Turks in 1915 considered an early example of genocide? (Points: 3)
because it took out a large area of resistance
because it involved the systematic destruction of an ethnic group
because the Turks were led by a descendant of the genoic people
because it involved a combination of homicide, manslaughter, and suicide
10. What was a sign that nations were determined to fight World War I, a “total war,” to the bitter end? (Points: 3)

13. What is a likely reason for the low population density in eastern Russia? (Points: 3)
Eastern Russia is located primarily within tundra and subarctic climate zones.
Poor transportation systems make it difficult to access.
Desert conditions limit available rainfall and water supplies.
Eastern Russia served as a military area that became too dangerous to occupy.
14. Why did Russia go to war against Sweden and the Ottoman Empire in the eighteenth century? (Points: 3)
It needed additional land where its nobility could build large estates.
It needed ports that could be used year round.
The teachings of Karl Marx included expanding the Russian empire.
The tsars needed new territory because Russia’s natural resources were almost depleted.
15. Why was Russia slow to modernize? (Points: 3)
Natural resources were difficult to locate and use.
Russian leaders resisted change.
Modernization was originally against the beliefs of the communists.
Russian serfs were reluctant to make changes that took them away from agriculture.
16. What happened in Petrograd in November 1917? (Points: 3)
Rasputin led a revolt against the tsar and assumed power for himself.
Mensheviks, led by Stalin and Marx, overthrew the Provisional Government.
The Whites put down a revolt by the Reds and installed Tsar Nicholas II as head of the Provisional Government.
Bolsheviks, led by Lenin and Trotsky, revolted and took power from the Provisional Government.
17. Why didn’t the Russian Revolution come to an end once Lenin came to power and launched his communist program? (Points: 3)
The Bolsheviks, or Reds, fought a bloody civil war against the Whites.
The Russian nobility managed to hold on to power by controlling the Duma.
The Russian army had yet to admit defeat and sign a treaty with Germany.
The Mensheviks assembled a police force to go after Lenin’s Bolsheviks.

Matthew 5:31
[ Divorce ] "It has been said, 'Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.'
Matthew 5:32
But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.
me and my girlfriend are debating about this i told her she cant get pregnant that way but she says she can and i wanted to ask other people can she get pregnant if i CUM in her anus
My teacher gave us this mini project to create our own monster, and we have to give it a backround story and everything. So I'm thinking about making a unusual monster. My monster is going to be a woman named Misotania. When she was young, she was so ugly and nobody wanted her. However, she finally found a guy whom she thought would be her soulmate, but he ended up cheating on her with another woman. So, Misotania became filled with so anger and hate towards this man that it caused her to become even uglier. And this time she became so ugly that when her husband-to-be saw her again, he died at the sight of her ugliness. Misotania never wanted anyone to feel as betrayed as she did, so she developed a disguise that would make her appear as a beautiful woman. Then she would taunt and tempt men that were about to wed, and if they gave into her temptation, she would take off her disguise and kill them with her look.
So the story kind of brings to life that phrase : "if looks could kill". I'm still working out other fuzzy facts to help the story flow more easily, but I wanted to know if you think I have a pretty good idea for a monster?
Okay, so maybe you won't admit to it but by observation here is how I see the average life of a woman play out . . .
Feels a void and wants a boyfriend
Gets boyfriend and realizes she still is not happy. She needs more commitment
Gets engaged and still not happy. Realizes she needs a career.
Career comes still not happy . . . Wants a promotion
Promotion comes and realizes she wants to be married
Gets married and still not happy. Realizes she wants her own house
Moves into her own house with new husband and still not happy
Realizes she needs children to be happy.
Has children and becomes miserable.
Realizes she needs a divorce to be happy
Has a divorce . . .Still miserable.
Throw in some changes in career, men and location and stick a fork in em'.
Sound about right? Why are you never happy?
nursing, cashiering, and table waiting due to the fact that 10's of thousands of men are losing their jobs? Btw, prior to the 20th century, most of these types of jobs were held by men but then all of a sudden, they became associated with women, I have no clue why.
Money is a form of privilege, particularly when the money comes from just pumping oil out of the ground, and the rights to the ground were given to the Arab Moslems by the Brits and the Americans in the 1930's. The Western powers set up and created the House of Saud and declared it to be the owner of the oil.
There are about 5000 Saudi princes. Only a few hundred are 1st generation decendants of the original King. The vast majority are second or third or fourth generation.
So far nobody in the second generation removed from the original King has become King. So, there's a power struggle waiting in the wings.
But in the meantime, the conduct of some of the Saudi princes has been totally deplorable.
A few hundred of them routinely give huge amounts of the money to support the Madrassas movement around the world. These are schools in which very young people are trained so they are mentally ready to become suicide bombers. They must go on after the Madrassas to a Terrorist Training Camp, where they learn the operational techniques of killing Westerners with explosives and poisons.
Here's what I think makes sense morally at this point. The Saudi Peninsula should be re-taken by the British and the Americans.
The several hundred Saudi princes that have actively supported the Madrassas movement should be put in Orange Jumpsuits and taken to Guantanamo, or maybe to a facility on Tristan de Cuna.
The remaining Saudi princes should get job training and career counselling. The women should get annuities so they have financial support that does not depend on any Saudi man.
All the the oil pumped from now on should be sold on the world market, except not to enemies of the USA and Britain (not to North Korea for example).
The cash should be used to create and set up Moslem Re-Education Centers all over the world to de-program people and if possible reverse the effect of the Madrassas movement.
Moslems should be taught that killing Westerners is not what Allah wants, that Allah will be angry with them if they do that. That it is not an automatic ticket into Paradise, in fact if innocent Westerners are killed, Allah will not permit that Moslem to enter Paradise.
It's a U turn that's required. And it should be paid for with money from the oil that is now called "saudi oil" -- but actually is up for grabs, and we should grab it, and re-designate the use of the money it generates until the re-education process is complete, which I think would take about 75 years.
The Re-education Centers should be run by authentic genuine Imams who just happen to believe that homicidal lunacy is not acceptable conduct for Moslems, if any such people can be found.
If they cannot, then the major universities of the West should create Departments that are designed to investigate the Koran, and see if there is anything in it that would support a non-homicidal approach to Westerners. Imams can be generated, if the text of the Koran permits such an interpretation.
In any case, the very best possible people should be in charge of the re-education centers. They should have leadership qualities, and sermon writing skills and verbal delivery skills, so that they make a huge impact on the students.
Moslem nations should be told that the foreign assistance support they get from the West is entirely dependent on how many of their popualtion graduate from a Moslem Re-Education Center. This would be a four year program, leading to a Bachelor's Degree in Non-Violent Islamic Studies.
Any students receiving such a degree would be entitled to two years of vocational training, and a year of job placement counselling.
This would all be paid for with the same saudi iol money that created the problem in the first place.
This would be a U Turn that fixes the problem.
Fixing problems is something we no longer know how to do, so any suggestion made in good faith, should be taken seriously, and considered by the Powers that Be.
Another 10 years and they won't be powers anymore, if things keep going as they are. So it's kind of a use it or lose it situation for USA and Great Britain. Solve the problem, or it will eliminate the present world order. Act or be passive. Live or die.
This is a choice that can be made by people who are not actually as smart as Albert Einstein. Even us!
For Maria:
Yes, I am talking about a worldwide moral code against first degree murder.
If you think this is part of my own personal culture, and that it would be wrong for me to impose my personal culture on the dear Saudi Royals, yes, then OK, I want to be wrong according to Maria.
We have to face a real problem, not an abstract moral dilemma about multi-culti psycho-babble. There are a billion people out there, and a very significant percentage of them have been brainwashed into the idea that Allah wants them to commit first degree murder on Americans and that if they do, they will go to Paradise.
You say I should value their culture as highly as my own. I say anybody that puts value on first degree murder is crazy, I don't care what culture they come from -- could be Saudi Arabia, could be American psycho-babble multi-culti High Schools.
It will cost a lot to de-program 1 billion people. Let it be Saudi money. So we need to take the oil, so the remedy can begin.
For Maria Part Two:
Yes, I would like to change their beliefs.
So instead of believing that Allah wanst them to kill Americans and they will go to Paradise if they do ...
they now believe
Allah does not want them to kill Americans, or commit any other first degree murder against anybody else, and that if they do they will not go to Paradise.
You call this the Western Bandwagon. Why not just commit a couple of muders in Singapore, or Japan, or China -- you will see that my idea is not actually the Western Bandwagon. It's what all civilized people of very nation (except Saudi Arabia and their brainwashed Madrassas students) believe.
We have become so lost in value free multi-culti nonsense that our High School graduates are unable to muster the intellectual focus to stand up for the prepremptory norms of human conduct.
No culture anywhere acts like murderers and holds that a value except the Saudis.
I'm no cultural imperialist, just a regular person with values.
have been attending a college course for a year now and it is emotionally draining. It's nature is such that you become emotionally close to your fellow trainee's. There was this man on the course, a recovering alcoholic (hadn't drank for 15 years) he seemed so sensitive and i was attracted to him in someway. It was me making all the effort at first and because he didn't drive i would always drive to his. I became close to and started a relationship with him. I knew he had a few psychological issues but he seemed so sensitive and good to talk to. We would spend 4 days at a time together and we enjoyed eachothers company. He bought me things and would be there for me when i needed him. Every so often he would have an outburst of anger and smash things up and put me down by saying nast things to me. Then he would say he didn't want a relationship and want me to get out. Then he would want to see me but be friends, then i would end up staying over and start seeing eachother again. We would go round and round like this all the time, one minute he would want be around the next minute not. He started to tell me how one of the other women on the course was saying sexual things to him and said he was sexy and in front of me he would send her messages so i would see. I started getting paranoid and if i mentioned something he would say 'you've got low self esteem etc etc''. I had to go into hospital and he came with me. He said to the women involved that he went with me because i had no one to go with, which upset me, i asked him why he couldn't have told her that he came with me because we we're seeing eachother and got anoyed with him. In the end i told the women involved that we we're in a relationship and told her what he had said about her messages and saying he's sexy etc, we had a good chat and she denied a lot of what he had said so we came to the conclusion that he was playing games in some way. I called up my tutor and had a word with her, and she was really good, and told a friend from the course what had gone on. Even though it has turned out that he was playing some kind of head games, I still feel bad now for telling her what he has said, and feel like i've broken his trust, and now i have to go into college and face him, and the people that know we have been seeing eachother. I don't know what to do, please help.
Try using this site for what it's meant for.
Oncve I saw a cartoon movie on TV. In the beginning there was an old woman with a knot of hair and she was sitting on a rocking chair. In her garden there were statues or something like that. When people sang a special song in front of these statues, they became alive. The atmosphere was just like in grimm tales.
Have you got any idea? I would be very grateful :)
It's not black and white but older than Cowerdly dog.
I would love to hear from both men and women on this one.....
I know that I haven't been the most attentive wife since I became a mom....but my hubby hasn't been the most attention hubby, either. And now it's almost a daily struggle with hubby about the amount of attention I give our 3-year old: disagreements....daily arguments....rivalry between my husband and our 3 year old for my attention.
WHY??
In my opinion, both parents should put the child first. Or is this thinking way off the mark? I know it was just he and I before kids. But it's NOT just he and I anymore.....we're not just husband and wife. We ARE Mommy and Daddy, too.
I hear frequently my husband's comparisons, jealous statements, and comments about how I care more about our son just because I am doing everything I can to make our child develop into a well-rounded, healthy, smart, etc. child. (I personally feel like my husband, although a good father, doesn't do enough of these things). He has criticized me in my parenting, saying that I "try too hard." (When I guess the reverse statement concerning my role as a wife is that I am not trying hard enough.)
Am I being unreasonable to tell my husband to grow up and stop fighting for first place? Or have I just been a terrible wife that simply needs to tend more to hubby's needs a bit more?
How do you find that balance, and give your family enough pieces of you to satisfy all their needs? We have a new baby on the way soon and I can imagine this is just going to get harder and more complicated if we don't come to some mutual understanding NOW.
Am I totally to blame, or is hubby also responsible for making an effort for us to spend more quality time together? I don't think it should just be my responsibility.....
P.S. I'm age 31, hubby is 32....married for 4 years, but together for 14 years....one child age 3....and 8 months pregnant with baby #2.
Thanks for the honest feedback!!!!!!
EDITED TO ADD: Okay, here's more info......If my husband wants me to come and see something on the computer, I might say, "Okay, hold on a sec while I finish washing this dish." And he will say, "Well, if our SON wanted you to come see something, you would come right away!" Or......in the evenings when we get home from work/daycare, I think we should be spending it as FAMILY time, but often time, hubby will be in the living room flipping channels or watching the news, and I am trying to do constructive things with our son, like reading books, or coloring, or helping him build writing skills (all things that the daycare provider wants us to focus on while at home). So I will try to engage hubby, "Hey, come see what we did!" or "Hey, come read books with us!" But I don't think he's much interested in these things, because he often goes back to watching tv after 1 minute of trying to engage. Hubby works 7 days a week, so on weekends, it's usually just me and our son, also.....
EDITED TO ADD: At times, yes......I do feel like #2, but not to our son--to his work! Because he works weekends, too, we rarely have family time. If he were to put our son before me, I wouldn't mind that. I would find it endearing to have a hubby that loves our child so much. I wouldn't see it as being 2nd best.
I do love the statement that someone below said that "A strong family is based on a strong marriage."
OMG, you guys have such great advice!!!! I wish I could respond to each of your questions/comments. But I'll just say, Yes, there is more I can be doing, but so can he. But instead of trying to figure out who is to blame, I am going to make an effort to show him more love and attention (yes, you're right, he works 7 frickin' days per week, of COURSE he needs to feel special!!). I know once he starts to FEEL loved he will start to show more cohesion to the family and to me, as a husband.
My 2 oldest sons are both married. The oldest for nearly 5yrs and the younger of the 2 for only 1yr.
Our family is very close and before my 2nd daughter n law became a part of it, I never had any real complaints about my 1st daughter n law.
All of us have always gotten along. Well, I will admit that initially I wasn’t too sure about my 2nd daughter n law being “the one” for my 2nd oldest son which kind of makes my problem so ironic.
The two daughter n laws get along famously and there has never been any issues between them,(My 1st daughter n law was my 2nd daughter n law’s Matron of Honor), as far as I know.
Since my 2nd daughter n law has settled in and become more a part of our family over the past year, I have noticed that while I have always loved both of my daughter n laws, that I tend to like my 2nd daughter n law more.
Again, while they both get along very well, they are two completely different women. My 1st daughter in law is openly and unapologetically a “princess” and high maintenance. Luckily, one of my oldest sons favorite things to do is spoil his wife and he often teases my 2nd oldest son that he doesn’t buy his own wife enough expensive things. That’s just it however, my 2nd daughter n law loves to have nice things, but fancy cars, jewelry and big homes don’t impress her. Does she have all of those things? Admittedly yes, but they could go away tomorrow and as long as she had my son in her life and his love for her, I know that she wouldn’t care that they were gone. Those things are just “things” and don’t define her or her love for him. My 2nd daughter n law has “real” life experience and has worked very hard for everything that she has. Even though she has married into our family and really doesn’t have to work, she continues to peruse her passion through her career. My 1st daughter n law comes from a family that has always had money, she has never really held down a job, and ever since she met our son her main hobbies are shopping and doing everything not to gain a pound.
Again, I love both of these women because they make my son’s happy. I feel guilty that I tend to like my 2nd daughter n law more as a person however. I am afraid that my having a better “friendship” with my 2nd daughter n law is going to start to show and it isn’t anyone’s fault. I really don’t want to put anyone in an awkward position by letting my feelings show, especially since our sons and their wives, not to mention our other two sons and daughter are all so close. I have told my husband about my feelings and he believes that I am being petty since I have never had a problem with my 1st daughter n law before. How should I handle this moving forward?

What is the deal with women and their stories of being raped ?..
( not all women ) , but the few who have apparently " allowed " themselves to become victims of rape ....they go around talking about it like its some sort of unforgetable " special event " that qualifies them for being the center of attention or something... like I said , no offense to any of the women or men who may have actually been through anything like this, but what's the deal with women who go around talking about their experiences with being raped ?
