OK...I will try to make this as short as I can. Basically, for reasons we don't understand, I have fallen out of love with my husband. We have been married for almost 9 years now & have 2 kids together. He doesn't beat me or anything like that. He's a pretty good guy, but, for some reason I always like someone else better. No, I am not acting on anything or going after anyone. I just end up falling for other people. I really want to fall back in love with him! I miss that feeling & I honestly couldn't imagine finding anyone like him. What can we do? Thanks. (link)
well, when you say you fall in love with other "people" plorally, does that mean you do it alot? Because that could mean that you need to mix it up a little, has your life been boring lately? find a babysitter and go out with your husband alone. Maybe you want to do something as a family. Watch some home videos, you will say "thats why i love this man so much" maybe you are not exactaly loving other guys, but wanting something...anything from them that you wish you could get from your husband (lets keep this on the same level...) Ask him if he loves you, maybe he feels the same way...does he stutter or take his time or seems like he doesnt care when he answers you? Does he refuse to tell you that he ACTUALLY loves you, example, he says "honey, you know i do." if he gets upset for asking him just re-assure him with "i love you." In the end, it really sounds like you guys care for each other deeply. GoOd LuCk!!!


Alright, so I really like a couple songs by the band Chronic Future but I haven't been about to find alot of their stuff... and I've heard just about everything else that I have right now.
Does anybody have any ideas for new music? I really do like EVERYTHING.

One request though- nothing really really popular right now. I like that stuff, but I've listened to it too much already. I tend to like stuff that isn't as popular.

Anything and everything is appreciated. (link)

Okay, I needed somewhere to vent this out, and I need advice. So I thought advicenators would be perfect! Sorry if this is long!!

Okay, well, about a year ago this guy was stalking me really badly. He had it baaaad for me, but I would never like him. He hated that, so he started stalking me. He also did crazy stuff, like if he said something to me I didn't like, and I'd tell him to go away he said he would ring my school and say I did all this crap I didn't. He even got so psycho that when he said he was in love with me, and I said I didn't like him like that he said he would ring my mum and tell her I was dating a guy 6 years older than me over the internet (Which I wasn't)

Anyway, it's over now and I'm glad so don't feel sorry for me.

Throughout the 'friendship' with this guy, he hated my best friend. He always called her ugly and an attention seeker (the last bit is true, I know it's horrible to say that about her but she lied 5 times about her dad dying) but recently they became friends (after he pretended to like her) now, if any guy even talks to her, she'll instantly fall in love with them. So this guy was pretending to like her and she fell head over heels. He told her to hate me, and she did it. We didn't talk for a few weeks. But even before this, she was a bit narky with me because of mine and his' history. She would constantly blog saying I'm a bitch, I need to get over the feud with him and she hated the fact I could probably still get him with a click of my fingers.

Anyway, I started talking to her again and she told me how controlling he was (When he used to stalk me I knew straight away he's going to be a wife basher) and she didn't like it. I told her that's how it started with me, and she needs to be extra cautious and get him out of her life. She then emailed him saying she was in contact with me (didn't say anything rude, just casually I was friends with her again) and he told her he would never speak to her again.

Then she tells me about all this crazy stuff he said to her. But she doesn't just tell me...she BRAGS about it. As if she's proud some guy was saying weird stuff to her. Then she brags about how he's stalking her. I told her he wasn't, because he hadn't said anything about calling her parents/school like he did with me, and didn't look up her address. She got angry at me. Like I was ruining her dream? Then she told me he was stalking her.

But it made me feel sick. She's bragging about something that made me live in constant fear for half a year. Something that made me feel so low. She's acting as if it'd something to be prided about.

And now, it gets worse. She thinks she's better than me, cos he said some effed up things to her. Like he wants to get her pregnant and stuff like that. Now, I'll let you know he said some stuff like that to me. It even got worse than that. But I'm pretty much a feminist and I told him if he wants to say those things to go to a chatroom and not say it to me, so he stopped because he didn't want to be blocked. But being the idiot she is, she thinks it's cute he wants her, and she even wrote in her LiveJournal she sort of regrets talking to me again, and doesn't understand why I hate him, and was implying I'm a bitch.

Anyway, sorry for the longness of that but I want you to understand the full story before answering.

Well, the question is, I sort of understand why I'm so pissed, but why am I so angry? It's not jealousy, but I'm really angry. Shouldn't I be scared for her? Or proud she isn't talking to him?

Also, what do I say to her to stop her bragging, it's not something to be bragging about? I don't care about her feelings if she doesn't care about mine, but I don't want her to blow up and block me and say she wasn't bragging. I want her to understand being stalked is terrible, and it's something you don't want to happen in your life.

And last, how can I get over this anger? I don't want to be angry at her. But I can't help it =\
(link)
Wow...wow. Okay, whoa. She likes being "stalked" by this guy? Wow, that is jacked up. If I were you, I would be pissed off for a number of reasons, one being that she's making it like a challenge or an "I'm better than you" contest. Which is pretty much borderline crazy ass psycho. And you're also probably pissed because she is trying to "one up you" by telling you all of the sick things he is saying to her, which is bringing back horrible memories for you. It seems like she almost wants you to feel that pain again.
which is INSANE. Another reason you are pissed may be because you are really confused as to why she is bragging about this stalker...and also that you are frustrated because she won't listen to you when you tell her how dangerous this guy is. And if she thinks that those dirty things he says to her is "cute" that is just distgusting and she is the defintion of a cry for attention.
The reason why you're not scared for her or proud that she isn't talking to him is because your fed up with her rubbing something so disgusting in your face and you also told her how dangerous this guy is, so you warned her, she is just choosing not to listen, so you don't want to listen. All of this anger towards her is making you forget that she is a person, yes a wierd crazy girl who likes the attention this stalker is giving her, but a person nonetheless in danger.
And about the bragging part and how you want her to stop, tell her something like, "Okay look, I get it. You're bragging to me about how this guy is stalking to you, and I warned you that this guy is dangerous and major trouble, but you won't listen to me. And I really, truly, do not want to hear about what he says to you and his threats because it makes me sick. It was terrible when he stalked me and I don't understand how you can like that, and I don't want to know about it anymore. And if you have forgotten, I was stalked by him too, and I would like to forget about it, so just please, PLEASE, stop bragging to me about him." Or another solution would be to just forget her and ignore her. This is her choice to endanger her life, not yours.
If you want to get over your anger, you need to tell her to stop this, to stop it now. Maybe to even stop talking to you altogether, because you just got over his stalking and the memories of that horrible time in you life are coming back, and who wants that?
Good luck...it'll get better I promise.


Well, this year I didn't play basketball and I've been eating a lot of junk food. So, guess what?! I got love handles. I'm going to stop with the junk food but what are some exercises I can do to get rid of than. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! (link)
You could do squats with weights it really helps. I use to be as big as a elaphant and then i discoverd this exercise. GOod luck, I hope I helped


wat brand of coundoms do u prefer (link)
I like trojan, just plain lubricated, no spermicide or anything like that.


i got my chihuahua and she poop in green/yellow thing, is it something wrong? (link)
Well if its a new born then that is completly normal, but if it continues to be like that after about 4 months or so then I would recamend going to the vet.


Okay, I've suffered from echzma for a while now, and its spread all down my arms and legs and face. I went to the Doctor and they prescribed hydrocortisone (1 percent and 0.5 percent if that helps) and diprobase. It worked for a while but then came back. I went back, and they prescribed the same and fucibet, for an extra bad part. It worked again and then failed. It keeps coming back! It's not the soap, makeup, shower gels I use, and I dont use perfumes. Its not the washing powder either... I just don't get it. Does anyone know a treatment thats good for getting rid of echzma? I just hate the way it looks! Its all down my arms and I look all mottled. Does anyone have any remedies or advice? Thankyou. VERY. Much :)
Faye. (link)
You could use Dream Cream, Elocon Cream, or Lemon Aid. They all do great! I hope I helped, good luck.


I have rediculously greasy hair. If I wash my hair in the morning, it will be wicked greasy by the end of the day. Is there anything I can do to make it less greasy? (link)
Okay, when this happens you have to put some babypowder in your hair and comb it through. It works. trust me.
Good luckk

ok so there's this guy i know. and we met because he randomly added me on facebook and i had never talked to him in my life (usually i don't accept people i don't know on facebook.. but i'm so glad i accepted him). so, we talked only once when he first added me, and never talked after that until my birthday. so after my birthday, we kept talking and talking and i was in an awkward situation with one of his good friends, and he helped me through that. and we've been talking for a few weeks now, and he's called me beautiful TWICE (more than any other guy in my life..) and he told me he loves me?? i KNOW that he doesn't actually love me, but i can't tell if he's jokingly like, "i love you" or "i have a crush on you and i want you to know." you know? what do you guys think? (link)
Okay, so I think that he is trying to say: I can love you so why don't we get to know eachother some more.
So let him lead and you follow, he's probably hinting that he has a crush on you.
Good luckk


So i've been talking to this girl for a while, and I kind of like her but im just getting to know her and her friends. We went finally got a chance to

hang out and we went to the movies last night and i had my arm around her most of the movie but didn't make a move cause it's hard to do in a

movie, plus hanging out with her the first time but...anyway i txted her that night and said what a great time i had and she said "me too :) you

should come over kelseys tomarrow" and i said yeah just lemme know what time and ill go :]. So the next day comes around but she doesnt get back to me, and i heard her friend did have people over

her house, now i'm wondering do you think shes interested? i mean some text conversations we have usually indicate that shes pretty interested lol but i don't get it, any girls have input on this? thanks alot!...im a male btw (link)
If she didn't like you, she wouldn't be texting you or going to the movies with you...like, it just wouldn't happen haha. But she is probably just a bit confused, like she doens't know if she should take the next step and invite you because she doesn't know how you feel or where she stands.
The truth is: girls give mixed signals. yepp, we do. so don't be discouraged, it's just in some of our natures.
And maybe kelsey told her that she couldn't invite anyone, so she was embarrassed to call you/text you and tell you that you couldn't come to kelsey's house, because yeah, that is just plain awakward to have to do that.
So, my suggestion is that you keep talking to her, maybe even playfully mention to her [nothing heavy and serious] about the situation...
Good luckk, I'm pretty sure she's into you.


i like this guy named Matt. He is a year older than me and lives down the road. I really like him but he is one of my best friends ex's. I talk to him on the bus but i don't know how to tell if he likes me. I'm scared to tell anyone that i like him cause i'm scared of how they well react. Should i go for it and tell him how i feel or what? AND How will this effect my best friend?

Ashley (link)
If you like Matt, then you should tell him how you feel, he would probably like that depending on the situation...and since you guys are already best friends, than why not? But if you think that telling Matt how you feel will jeopardize your friendship with him, hold off until it feels right.
As for your best friend, you should talk to her about it [but don't let her change your mind because he is not her property] she will most likely be confused and a little hurt, but in time she will get over it. Trust me.
Good luckk


Please don't mind with how long this is. I really need help. I can't even sleep anymore. It's really bothering me, and I can't get help from anywhere else. So I thought this would be the right sight.

At the beginning of the school year, I went out with this guy for 2 weeks. It didn't work out being "together together", so we're just really close friends. He still has feelings for me though after 6 months. Anyways, after him, I went out with this other guy. He didn't treat me right at all. But yet, we went out for two months and I am still IN LOVE with him. I don't know why but it's unbareable. Well he broke up with me for my best friend. But then he realized how wrong he was, and wanted to get back together. I was going to but then he threw something at me and I had a huge red mark and he just laughed and didn't say sorry. So, I am just completely ignoring this guy, I know he's not worth my time. So my best friend now that still likes me..We have been hanging out soo much lately, and he is seriously like the perfect package. He's tall, great body, best personality in the world, and just everything. He's been there for me through everything, even though I went out with another guy. He was just always there. I really want to like this guy. So badly. But I don't? I still am in love with my ex-boyfriend. And I don't want to like him at all. It's so hard for me. Why am I liking the wrong guy? Why am I not liking this guy that I know is perfect for me. Just what should I do, my ex still likes me, and still wants to get back together so maybe that's whats drawing me back to him? I don't know, but just please give me any advice you can. (link)
Either you want to turn the bad boy good [what girl doesn't? haha] or you just like the attention from your ex [both boys actually]
And you said it yourself: I know he's not worth my time.
you are exactly right. he's not. and do you really want to be in an abusive relationship? NO. that is like the worst relationship to be in.
But the perfect guy is not just gonna wait around for you forever, yuh know? So why make the mistake with getting back together with your ex? You will probably lose the perfect guy in the process.
Go with the good guy who is already good. what more could you possibly want? I would loveeee to be in your shoes [but not with the bad boy]
Good luck and I know you'll make the right decision :]


16/F. I'm not ugly or anything, but in my group of friends, I FEEL like the ugly one. They're all so gorgeous! Boys constantly give them attention because theyre hot, cute, pretty, or beautiful. I don't get much boy attention because I am just blah. Here are my pictures:

http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=351c10o&s=3


Tips, please! (link)
Awww, don't say that you are ugly, because you're not! But let me tell you, when I compare myself to my friends I feel ugly too, because they have the perfect bodies and get a lot of the attention from boys to. I mean, everyone gets their share of attention, but you can just tell, so I know where you're coming from.
But if you want to feel prettier try doing this:
-straighten your hair
-do different hairstyles like ponytail, side braid, half up half down, thinner headband. I don't know if you have side bangs or not, but those would be cute.
-wear some eyeliner and mascara.
-lipgloss :]
-perfume or body spray
-leave your hair natural or curly on some days and not others.
-wear more vibrant colored clothes and layers.
-get some cute flat type shoes or cool ones.

Good luck and if you look condient and tell yourself you are beautiful, guys will believe that you are...because you are :] it works for me hehe


okay so this is SO complicated but please try & help me.

alright so i met this boy named james. we started talking. very flirty we were. after talking for a while everytime i went to a party or a guy friend he'd ask "did you do anything?" or before id go to a party or before a guy would come over he'd beg me not to do anything. like meaning kiss etc. so i was like hm okay. we'd always flirt and he'd always make me smile. then later on he told me he liked me. i was kind of like woahhh. but then more and more talking to him i started really liking him to. like to the point where he was the only thing i thought of. then one day we kind of got in a fight? so then my guy friend mark came over and then james was being like a total ass. like he wanted to fight mark becuase mark liked me. & im totally against fighting. so i was like fighting with james and was like no your not fighting him blah blah then hes like whatever ill talk to you later. so then i thought he didnt like me anymore. so i started being all flirtyish with mark. little did i know james was totally crushed. he didnt tell me so how was i supposed to know. well me and marks thhing ended pretty soon. and of course i still had strong feelings for james. me and james were on talking terms. then one random day this girl named shauna came along. like OUT OF NO WHERE. then he started liking her a lot. started putting her name everywhere. in his profile his myspace his away messages with the little (link)
Don't you think he has caused you enough heartache? I mean, you loved him and he crushed you more than once...if you start liking him again and you can't let go, I'm warning you right now, he will break your heart again. From what you've said, he seems like a very unsure guy who needs to get his shit together, and if he would die for you-do anyting for you- then why would he keep breaking your heart?
Ask yourself these 2 questions:
1. If I still like James, do I want to be in a drama filled relationship?
2. Can I live without James?
If your answer to 1 is yes, than that's just crazy, because wo wants to feed off of drama and heatrbreak 24/7? But if your answer to that is no, than I would just forget about him. Maybe stay friends--but that would be as far as it goes.-- like don't go out of your way for him or anything. yuh know?
If your answer was no for 2 than maybe you should start being friends with him again, like don't forget him entirely or whatever. [you must be completley honest with yourself with these questions] However, if your answer to that was yes...than forget about him, end it for good and get with a guy who will make you happy, not sad, and love you. Not the guy who constantly hurts and crushes you.
But it's up to you, the choice is yours in the end. And your heart can only take so much pain..
Good luck :]


You answered my question about this guy and so I decided to ask you some more if you don't mind or whatever. Well you know how he pulls my hair and stuff. I just can't stop thinking about him. I'm having weird dreams too. I finally told my friends about him yesterday and they thought it was cute and all. I won't see him till March since yesterday was our last day but when I go back I wanna know what to do. Should I still talk to him more? Or should I do something else. I really honestly don't know how to flirt and I have no idea if I ever have. So anything would be appreciated, thanks. (link)
:] he would love it if you still talked to him when you get back to school, but you should talk to him first, if he doesn't that is [or just yuh know, get to him first]
And flirting is actually pretty natural, sometimes you don't even know you are flirting, so you probably already have. But there are sooo many different ways to flirt, and it is different for every girl in every situation, but the basic flirting stuff is...
-laughing and giggling [yeah, cause it is girlish and everything]
-eye contact [seems like you are rally into him]
-smiling [cute and a guy will look at your mouth when he is thinking about kissing you, sometimes haha, you would know]
-winking [it has to be at the right moment tho]
-talking to him in a cute way [just like batting your eyelashes from time to time, but not dramatically, subtley.]
-quick glances [you can do this by peeking at him from the corner of your eye, and he notices]
-twirling your hair [only used in situations where it is needed, it could make you look ditzy if you don't do it right]
-half smiles

You just have to seem into him and he will take the hint. Ask me anymore questions if you have any, don't hesitate to ask :]
Good luckk and have funn, relax you're good to go hehe


Have you guys heard if you keep something plugged in but you're not using it, it still wastes electricity. Like if you have a phone charger plugged in, you're still wasting the electricity. IS IT TRUE?

:)! (link)
Yeah it wastes a little bit of energy and electricity. [I think we are all guilty of this] haha.


so i have a friend that is into drugs, and we used to be best friends calling each other every night. doing whatever. i think i had a crush on him, but i didnt want to because of the age diff [hes a senior and im a sophomore] recently, i saw him. i hadnt seen him for a really long time because he was into drugs and alcohal, and we lost communication but i never stopped thinking of him. i saw him, and barely recognized him. we hugged for a long time. but it was like something was different. and i cant get my mind off of him. what should i do? i dont want to like him, but i do. jekal;d. (link)
If you like him, and you don't want to, you are just kidding yourself.
If his using drugs and drinking alchol is the only problem you have with him, than it is up to you to chose if you want to be involved with someone who is into somethings that are totally against your standard morals.
It's really sad that people get into those types of things, but I think that he needs you right now, and with your help he will help himself.
So my advice is that and one more thing: denying your feelings for someone will just come back to you until you fess up to the feelings you have for that person. And this is only proof because you were once best friends, but drifted, and now you guys are friends again and you like him...
Just putting that thought out there :]
Good luckk


I love the kimono dresses that I see all over the place. So I want to wear one to a formal dance. The only thing is, I don't want it to be a real kimono- they hide shape a little- but I want it to be floor-length. Does anyone have an idea where I could find one? Thank you in advance! (link)

I am in love with this guy and he is in a juvinile dention center for somthing he didnt do and he may serve 6 months but he told me to look for a new man and i shouldent wait for him and its too long to wait but i want to know how should i cope with him being gon? what should i do? and im a female im 14. (link)
I know that this is going to be very hard for you, considering he was or is your boyfriend, but you're going to have to give your heat some time, but in the end move on. You are only 14 and, you can keep in touch with him and still be friends, but 6 months is a loooooooong time. You'll have moments where you think about him non stop and miss him terribly, but you'll also have times where he barely makes it into your mind and you have a good time with some other guys. I mean, you'll always miss him, but you should wait and see what happens, he may not go for 6 months, so sit tight and see what happens.
[try hanging out with your friends and other guys]
Best of luckk
