You replied to my post so I wanted to ask some more questions. Since this is just to you I will be more detailed and sorry in advance cause I know this will be long. Please read cause I need the help. My wife had an emotional affair with a man that she worked with. They fooled around a little bit one night, but they did not sleep together. I believe my wife, for a many certain reasons. The day after they fooled around he left for Iraq for 6 months, which may have had a lot to do with the affair. They were close friends and he was leaving, blah, blah. I caught them talking through a messenger online, and confronted her about it. She told me after a lot of conversation that she felt horrible, and we decided we wanted to make it work. I know why she had the affair. It had a lot to do with us not spending a lot of alone time together. I was working night shift and her days. We didn’t really go out on dates or things of that nature. I was neglecting my family. Not on purpose, because I had no choice because of my job. I however was very comfortable in the marriage. I like the routine. It gives me a sense of security. When things start happening abnormally, I get flustered and start to panic. So I was under the impression that we had a good healthy marriage. I never saw this coming. We had such a good relationship. I never had a bad thing to say about her, and same with her. She used to brag to all of her friends on all the nice things I would do for her. (Clean the house, cook dinner for her, bring her chocolate, etc.) All of her friends were so jealous because we were so happy together. Anyways, 2 weeks go by and she is still very emotionally distant with me. She wasn’t hugging me, or telling me she loved me, or showing any affection. I was doing all of those things. I was trying to show her I realized that I had also made some mistakes, and was willing to do whatever it took to make my marriage work. Now here is the kicker. She fell in love with the other guy, and he supposedly feel in love with my wife. She had a hard time letting go. She felt bad for hurting me, and then felt bad for hurting him when she told him she couldn’t talk to him anymore and that she was going to work on her marriage. Well she eventually started talking to him again online. I once again caught her and it was Déjà vu. It was 2 weeks to the day from the first time I found out. I was furious. I was screaming and yelling at her and saying horrible things. I told her it was over and I never wanted to see her again. But after the dust settled I was in the same boat as before. I love my wife more than any words can describe. I do not want to lose her. She told me that she wanted to separate and figure some stuff out. She cut off all contact with the other guy and I left the house to go and stay with some family for a while. This was her time to be alone and figure out what she wanted. 3 days went by and she called me and said she loved me and wanted to make it work. I came home and we made love and had a great couple of days. One thing you should know is during all of this she had never opened up to me. Never showed me love/affection (besides the time we made love), or doing nice things for me. I was the one fighting for her, even though she made the mistake. I could tell she was unhappy but it was like talking to a wall. She wouldn’t open up to me and tell me how she was feeling, I guess out of fear of hurting me anymore. I was giving our marriage 110% effort, but she had given up. I kept trying to talk to her about it. I wasn’t throwing what she did in her face; I was just stressing my needs. In order for me to continue to work on the marriage, I needed some reassurances. I was very insecure that I wasn’t good enough, and she was going to hurt me again. I kept telling her that regardless of what she was going through or how she was feeling, that she needed to start expressing her love to me. After a couple more weeks of me constantly nagging her and ultimately pushing her farther away, I became unhappy. So I asked her to leave. I immediately regretted it. I told her the following day that I was sorry, and that I didn’t want to lose her. She however was under the impression that our marriage had ended the second she walked out the door. I finally got her to tell me exactly what she was thinking and it was this. She fell out of love with me. She doesn’t believe that we could ever get through what she did. She has no faith that we can get better. So she gave up. I believe that we can get through it, and also when we do, we will be stronger and have an even bigger bond than before. She doesn’t want to stay with me because: It’s easier, out of obligation, for our daughter, other things of that nature. She wants to stay with me only; if she is 100% sure that’s what she wants. I told her that she will regret leaving me, because we both know that she never really tried to make it work. She is pessimistic that our marriage could ever recover. She doesn’t want to try and it not work, because she would just be hurting me more. I understand that. Well that’s basically what’s going on right now. I am waiting for her to make up her mind. If you have any advice on what I should do, please help. I am desperate to get her back. (link)

This all sounds so familiar to me. Its not EVEN funny! We are making it work though so with luck I can help.
You are going to have to talk. Serious talk. Start by writing (typing) a very long letter telling her how you feel about everything. Encourage her to do the same. Then get together and read each others letters. Then talk.
You need to tell her how this has hurt you. How you want to change things to make them better. How you love her in spite of anything she has done. How you want it to work.
She needs to tell you what her feelings were and are too. Even if it is hurtful. Until it is all laid out there on the table, it will creep up when you don't want it to.
Get emotional if you want to. Just don't let anger rule. KNowing you will be hearing things you probably just don't want to know does help.
Once they are out there and dealt with, you can
begin to heal the relationship.
Believe me when I tell you something like this can make your relationship even stronger. I don't know why that is but it can. So long as both of you are putting effort into making it work, there is no reason why it can't.
Feel free to write and vent or ask anything you want to. I hope it works out for you. Please let me know! :)

I've been on Advicenators for a few years, on and off, and this hasn't been a problem so far.
I received a very hurtful feedback to a question that I tried my darndest to answer well! I know we can file a report, but it wasn't exactly hateful. The person who wrote it was obviously upset, and directed that towards me, even though I obviously put a great deal of effort into my response.
Now I'm seriously thinking of leaving the site. Honestly, I'm only here to help (just like everyone else here) and if people aren't grateful, what's the point in wasting my time?
Rant's over. My actual question is, how do you guys keep from getting upset over hurtful feedback? I'd try not to take it personally, but it is personal. My feelings are hurt :( (link)
|
Being an L2 mod I was able to look up the feedback you are talking about. I don't know
if you noticed but she did respond back to your edit explaining her feelings.
So others know, the question whose feedback we are talking about dealt with abortion. Always a topic where emotions run wild. Please do not leave because of feedback on a question like this.
There are just some questions that when answered with your advice (or opinions) automatically will
be argued. Abortion, politics & religion are the most common. Should you decide to answer these types of questions, you just stand by what you
feel is right & ignore it if someone doesn't feel
the same. Consider it an opportunity to get your
opinion known and to heck with what others say.
In this particular case, you did what anyone else probably would have done. You tried to make the questioner feel better about her decision. Turns out she didn't want to feel better about it. That
doesn't make your answer bad at all, just as you expected, it just wasn't what she was wanting to hear right now. She did hear you though. So think like I do, In a week or a month from now, she may think about what you said and get some help out of it. Not all our advice sinks in right away. :)
You also have to take into consideration that many people leave out information when asking a question. Nobody is a mind reader. Sometimes what seems insignificant can make a big difference. For instance had you sent a link to the question or at least had mentioned the questions subject, you would have gotten totally different answers. :) Had she said I feel bad and don't want to feel better about it...your answer may have been different.
Anyway, don't leave because one person wasn't helped immediately by your answer. Instead think of another person who read it and was helped. It happens.

Well I will give everyone the short story cause this is a very complicated situation. My wife and I got married at 19, joined the military, had a child at 22 and having been living a very happy and healthy marriage for 7 years. We own a home, are finacially comfortably, have all the materialistic things that one would want in life. And we also have a 3 year old daughter, and planning on more children. Also are families are very close, and our mother's became best friends. Basically we have achieved the "American Dream." Recently my wife has started to feel like she missed out on something. We reached the ultimate goal in life, but she feels that she maybe got there to fast. Grew up to quickly in a sense. Well I am a good husband and have always treated her like a queen. We never argued and had a very good sex life. I always strived to give her everything she wanted. Well My wife recently moved out of the house to have some time to herself to think about what she wants. To leave me and go experience some of the things she feels she missed out on, or stay married to me and try and get through this crisis together. I love my wife unconditionally, and hate the thought of losing her. She knows that I am willing to do anything to make our marriage work, but she is so lost and confused about what she truly wants. I cannot lose her but feel she is slipping farther and farther away from me. She tells me she still loves me, but she isn't sure if she wants to be with me. I know that's not a good sign, but I will continue to fight until she tells me it is over. If she leaves me to go out and date or other things of that nature whe will lose me. Even thought I am almost positive at some point she will realize what she is missing is that great and will come crawling back to me because of how perfect we are together and how amazingly I treat her. But I won't be able to wait for her to realize that. If she seperates from me, then I will have to also move on. I am trying to prevent this from ever happenning. If anyone has gone through this or has some advice on what I should do, please help. I am desperate here and I just want my wife back. (link)

Hello there. Sounds all to familiar to me! My hubby and I married at ages 16 & 17. He has had times when he felt he missed something. He probably did. No doubt he did! He has never moved out but it has caused many a long discussion. I am talking weeks worth.
Her moving out is not good. However, don't give up! Write her long letters. Its much easier to let her know your deepest feelings that way. You won't be interrupted or side tracked by questions or her thoughts.
Her moving out DOES NOT mean she is seeing someone else. It is possible of course, but not necessarily true. If she is, it doesn't have to be the end. It would take forgiveness on your part, but if you love her and want her back, it can happen. It can even make the relationship stronger. So do not believe that it is an ending.
Talk. Do not let communication break down as long as she is giving you some hope. Don't let it drag out forever either. You should decide together just how long you are expected to wait for her to make a decision. When time is up move on.
Any other questions feel free to ask...married 34 years and still hanging in there together!

I'm 16 years old and when I went to go to the doctor's (the gynecologist) office for birth control, she asked me if I was sexually active.
Why did she ask me if I was having sex? Is it really necessary? (link)
|
I have worked for a doctor and the question is a standard one asked of ANY patient seeking birth control of any kind. They will usually test you anyway.
It is both for information to add to your medical history, and to give you the opportunity to ask questions. Many doctors will ask you more than that even.
If there was a possibility you were pregnant, more tests may have been necessary.

|
I have been sexually active for 2 years now. I visited my boyfriend last week out of state and we had sex for a loong time at night, and now when I put my fingers in, it feels like I can feel my cervix and tampons hit it. Is this normal? Whats wrong with me?? (link)
| |
If it is something you haven't noticed before, then see a doctor. We are unable to give you a diagnosis here, but anytime something seems out of the ordinary to you, see your doctor.

Are there any STDs that don't show signs or symptoms after you've contracted it/them? I know about HIV or AIDs or whatever not showing up for awhile but that's the only thing I heard about (and I don't even know if THAT is true). Also, how long does it take for symptoms of STDs to show usually? (link)
|
Yes there are STDs that don't have symptoms. Here is a link to more info that won't show on your search history.

when your bulemic do you throw up after every thing you eat? or just at the end of the day? thankyou (link)
|
It is after everything eaten. I hope this isn't something you plan to try. It can cause a lot of damage and it can kill you eventually. It will rot your teeth...it will not make you attractive at all.
For a lot of info on eating disorders you can check out the info I have gathered in my forum.

19/m
Me and my girlfriend (18) have been going out for about 10 months. She wants to move at the end of the summer. While I originally told her im on board with it I have had feelings of not wanting to do this.. but I'm not sure what to do. We argue quite often but other times we are great but I feel like in the long run I would not be as happy. I have been feeling this way for about a month now but I have not been able to tell her this because I have needed time to confirm that this is truely the way i feel, and I feel incredibly horrible about it. A big problem that I see is that she never wants me to go on trips with just me and my friends, without her for a few days. I have tried twice to do so and she became extremely upset because I was going to leave for three days to go work on a friend's property and make money, and said that I don't love her as much as she loves me because she feels like no trip is worth taking without me, and that she is worried something could happen to me while I'm there if she isn't there. Both times I have ended up backing out of going and telling an excuse to my friend as to why I couldn't go. I feel like I can't hang with just me and my friends as much anymore because if I do she will be upset. Much of what I feel that I want to do during the summer I feel that I can't because she wouldn't want to do them or want me to do them, and I am starting to feel restricted and controlled. If I am going anywhere where there might be a more attractive girl than her she does not trust me. While I have brought up all of these issues in the past she says that I don't understand and that I should just not want to go on trips anymore because it is immature and hurting her, and that if I loved her as much as I say I do I would just understand and not want to go on them anymore. The more I change to prevent her emotional bouts the more i feel imprisoned.. I am not sure what to do because I love her very much and we have talked about having a future together. While I feel like I want her to change, I know that she is stubborn and feels that she is right in this, so I'm stuck on what I want or need to do... she also has anxiety problems which is a probable reason as to why she acts this way, and does not have really any close friends at all. I love this girl, and if I end up breaking up with her it would be the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. I am afraid of confrontation and seeing her cry or the thought of never feeling her close to me again. This is my first love, my first everything really, and I have never had this happen before... I am stuck and unsure of what to do. If you took the time to read all of this, I deeply appreciate you. Im sorry it was so long. I'm just feeling desperate for help right now. (link)
|
Talking to her about it is a place to start. I'm going to guess though that you've already tried that.
A relationship will never ever work long term if one person calls all the shots. If that is your goal, and she isn't willing to lighten up, you are not going to be happy for long. Actually, it is already bothering you so I guess you know that already!
Your girl is either very manipulative, or very immature. She may think you are the immature one, she is wrong. She knows you won't argue because of her anxiety disorder. She also is using that as an excuse to get her way.
I can't tell you to end the relationship or to continue it. That is something you will have to decide on your own. After being married for 34 years, I can tell you that never letting your partner do anything on their own won't work. You have to trust your partner. Its a hard decision for you to make, I know. You are already unhappy with how you are being treated though. Don't just assume it will get better. Its likely to get worse.
One last talk & then make a move one way or the other, waiting doesn't make it easier.

will a yeast infection go away on its own (link)
|
They can. You can try an over the counter product or they sometimes will go away when you start your period (this raises the PH balance).
They can also be very painful in the meantime. If you have a lot of pain, or if it doesn't go away soon you will need to see your doctor.
|
I know I am doing good.
I'm just iffy on the fact I may see him in August at this BBQ if I go with the boyfriend..and well.
if I waited til like September or on and just ask how is he doing, is that alright? or should I just forget it and wait to see if he comes to me.
I had this idea in my mind to write him a letter sometime between Sept and Dec but I don't know..any ideas? =\ (link)
| |
I think, hard as it will be to do, you should wait for him to contact you. Then you will have no doubts at all that he wants to hear from you. :)

Is there any way to make your feet smaller?
I have big feet and it is hard to find cute shoes that fit right. My feet are probably done growing or whatever so I don't know if I can, like, lose weight in them or do some sort of feet exercises to make them shorter. I know it sounds stupid but I thought maybe... ?
Anyone know or am I just out of luck?
If there isn't a way to actually make them smaller is there a way to make them LOOK smaller? Certain styles of shoes or something..? (link)
|
First of all Gunner is right. This is really something that YOU notice more than others do. I can't ever remember thinking about another persons feet. There is nothing you can do to physically make your feet smaller.
There are things you can do to make them appear smaller. Here is the list courtesy of about.com
Heeled Shoes vs. Flat Shoes
While high heels may not be as good for your feet or body, they will make your feet look smaller. The good news is that chunky heels and wedges usually accomplish this better than stiletto heels, and they're typically much easier to wear.
The heel height doesn't factor in quite as much on men's shoes, since there isn't that much of a variance, but typically styles that show just a hint of sole around the upper of the shoe will make your feet look shorter
Round Toes Instead of Pointy Toes
Pointy toed shoes can make even the daintiest of feet appear long. Since they're usually very close-fitting, they also make the foot look thinner.
Narrow shoe styles might be a good thing if you think your feet look too wide, but if it's the length of your feet that is keeping you up at night, you definitely want to steer clear of slim shoes with pointy toes. The same goes for guys, so bicycle toes should be avoided.
Dark Colored Shoes
Shoes in darker colors will make your feet appear smaller than shoes in light or pastel shades, but don't feel like you just have to stick to black. In addition to darker earth tones and grays, deeper versions of red, blue, purple and green will serve you better than their lighter-toned counterparts.
Avoid Skimpy Sandals
A strappy sandal that exposes a lot of the foot will make anyone's foot look larger, but showing a little bit of your foot can work to your advantage. To break the monotony of just wearing closed shoes, women can try peep-toes, D'Orsays or sling-backs.
Closed Shoes for Men and Women
As a general rule for closed shoes, the more material there is on top of your foot, the longer your foot will appear. A style with an opening that is closer to the toes will not look as big as a shoe in which the foot opening is very close to the front of your leg.
Accents Make Big Feet Look Smaller
For women, bows, buckles, lace overlays, and kiltie detailing will make feet appear more petite, and guys who want their dogs to look smaller should check out shoes with tassels, and straps that cross the shoe closer to the toes than the leg.
Big-Looking Shoes Will Make Your Feet Look Big
My tips above are good general rules, but since there are so many style factors in every shoe, there's really no way of describing which shoes will be perfect for your feet.
The best and easiest thing you can do is take a good look at the shoe before putting it on. A style that looks longer than others out of the box is going to look longer on your feet.

I was just browsing on the internet and I typed in chat rooms. I'm a 15 year old female and I was just typing in dirty things (like everyone else) in the chat room. I was just joking around. I said that I was 19.
All of a sudden it times me out of the chat room and says what my IP address is and that I may be reported to the authorities. Do they mean that they are going to report me to the police?
I shouldn't have done it and now I know that I never will again but I'm scared out my mind right now and what do you think that will happen to me?
also, would you mind if I asked Mackenzie about this? I think she's also a really great columnist and that she may know what will happen to me.
I'm scared :( (link)
|
Yes you can ask Mackenzie too. :)
I'm probably not going to be a big help since I don't go to chat rooms.
A good guess is that they just booted you for typing dirty things. They probably won't really call the police on you unless you become a big problem for the site. They may have even banned your IP so you can't get back on that site.
I think it was meant as a warning that would scare you. However do not do it again. The police probably wouldn't get involved. They could however
contact your internet provider and have your service cut off.

I am 43 years old and don't really want to be here anymore. In the past month and a half my life has changed and made me realize that I am tired and just want to go to sleep and never wake up. I have been with my fiance for 7 years and within that time I never thought my life would be where it is now. I invested every dime I had in his busness ventures and now i have nothing. we moved to florida to a foreclosed house and he runs a strip club he bought with our money and little by little he kept getting home later and later. feeling alone and sad I got bad news from my doctor a month after that. I have ovarian cancer. I told my fiance and he said he was sorry to hear it but now he doesn't come home at all only every three to four days to change. I have no friends and feel so betrayed and there isso much more including that he ruined my credit buying properties under my name then never paying the mortgage.I have nothing. I can't see the future because I have so much in my life that is making me feel this way. I want to be strong but I can't sleep or eat and I need surgery on june 10th and I don't even know if I will be strong enough. I have realized that his actions means the relationship is over but what hurts the most is that I thought he was a good person and would be here for me especially now that I am scared and alone. I just really hate myself I hate who I am and what I have become. I never thought a human being could be so cruel. I feel as if I am looking out through someone elses eyes that I don't belong. I have noone to talk to and just don't want to deal with anything anymore. I never accomplished any great thing or have any friends just me and I hate me. (link)

Suicide isn't the answer. A good lawyer is. First thing you need to do is put all his clothes and crap on the front lawn. Either wait for him to come and get it, or set it on fire, whichever makes you feel better. Do not allow him back in the house for any reason. Change the locks.
Get that surgery. You are about to start a whole new life and you need to be well. You can do well on your own. You can get a job and you can make friends. I know it seems impossible right now, but you can get back on your feet. You do not need a jerk like him in your life. He is using you and it stops right now!
Talk to the social services in your area. See if you can't get some assistance and a medical card until you recover from your surgery. That will help with the medical expense if you need it. Most
places will back pay 3 months if for some reason you can't get this done before your surgery. Do not look at this as a long term solution, just help to get you back on your feet.
They may also be able to help with getting you a lawyer who can maybe help you recover some of what his man took from you. He owes you some money and he needs to be made to pay it back. I don't know if they can help with your credit rating, but I would sure ask.
Once you are recovered, decide where you want to live. As someone before me pointed out, you may want to return home. Then get a job. You will make friends.
It will take time. It won't get better over night.
You are feeling depressed, that is normal. You are being buried by some heavy crap right now. You can and will get out of it. Just give it time. Once you are feeling better and have some goals, you will be on the road to recovery. I'll bet you will be happier than you have been in a long time. Obstacles and all.
Best of luck!

Like I stated, this is going to be terribly long.
I was introduced to a guy, who we're going to call "Derek" on Valentines Day, this year. Later that night he added me on Myspace. From there, we basically started 'talking'. It started off simple, cute and flirty, then after a month or so it got more serious. He came over to my house one day, and we spent literally six hours together. And of course, within those six hours we hooked up.
Everything was going fine, until about a month later when I screwed everything up, according to him. We were at a park, and it was brisk and windy. I was wearing shorts and a tank top. I asked him if he wanted to go back to my house (I lived 2 minutes from the park) and let me change into jeans, but he said no. And after about 15 minutese of arguing, I walked away from him to go home. We pretty much stopped talking after this. He got back with his ex, and I started dating this guy named Caden after about three weeks of not talking to eachother. When Caden and I broke up a week later, I got a phone call from a number I didn't know. It was derek. So basically he drove down to my house, picked me up and we hooked up. That was on saturday. The following monday he got back with his ex, again. I asked him why, and he just looked at me and shrugged. So we've begun "talking" again, even though he has a girlfriend. He claims he wants me, and that I'm better, and that I'm his dream girl. He always says how he's going to do stuff to me, and how we're going to make it..
But he won't tell me why he's with her. Once he told me that she gives him money, but that was never brought up again. And its not sex, so I'm a little frusturated.
Recently, I told him to get his things straight, and until then not to talk to me, or call.
He's called, and left messages, but I don't read them or listen, I just deleted them.
A few days ago I finally answered the phone when he called, and we talked for a little. I was just messing around, naming random facts about my life, and then he said "I don't care about your life" so I got mad & hung up, then called him back and told him I was officially done with him. He said "okay. Wow" and hung up. Then he deleted me off myspace. But at school he stares at me when I walk by, and always looks at me. (I ignore him)
I don't really know what to do, because I do really like him, and I'm just not sure what to do.
Sorry it was so long. (link)

You're being used to "hook up" with. I think you would be better off to just forget Derek. He is a jerk. Really, he is.

I've been on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo (birth control) for about 4 months now and I've noticed in the last month or so my face has gotten a lot bigger, I'm almost developing a double chin and it's puffier. I haven't gained weight anywhere else. Will this go away on its own? Is there anything I can do? It is kind of making me miserable...other people have noticed too. (link)
|
Contact your doctors office and talk to the nurse there. She can tell you if this is normal or if there is something else they need to look at.
While its true some birth control can cause weight gain, we are only talking 2 or 3 pounds at best. Not something to worry about. So, please contact your doctor and ask questions. You should be able to take care of it over the phone unless they feel they need to see you for some reason.

I have a few questions about the Department of social services and emancipation. I have a case at home where basiclly I'm being neglected by my parents. Their making me pay rent (350) monthly and I can't do laundry or shower in my own home without paying rent. They refuse to care for my needs and basiclly ignore me. I'm forced to give them half my check earnings. I'm basiclly responsible for my own self at age 16 and it shouldn't be like this. I have a place to go live at but I want to be emancipated from my parents. And I'm wondering if DSS gets involved will they allow me to pick where I live or will I be taken into foster care homes? Also there is a second minor living in this house my sister aged 8 but she isn't getting neglected by them will DSS get involved with her too ? Please I would much rather advice from an adult with good answers. (link)

16/f. [kinda long sorry]
i play softball for my school, well tonight at my game i was sliding into home and i went to slide. when i did i collided with the catcher. my ankle basically jammed up against her leg, when she went to move to get the ball she stepped on my ankle. It's now all puffy,really red, and super bruised. I was carried off the field. [safe by the way..ha] i ended up playing 1st again next inning, however i was in serious pain, but we had no other 1st basemen. Now, i can barely walk and i can't even put a sock on. However, i've broken my ankle before, and it looks nothing like that. anyone have any idea on what it might be? (link)

It could be a bad sprain or even torn ligaments.
I would suggest seeing a doctor if it doesn't feel better soon.
Here are the RICE rules for sprains though. Not a bad idea to start there until you can seek medical attention.
