me and my boyfriend have been together for 1 and a half years. we are both 16. we broke up a few weeks ago and just got back together today. i was so happy to be back with him because things just didnt feel right wothout him. however, i also just found out he is moving to florida in a month. we currently live in washington. so i definately wont be able to visit because our parents wouldnt allow it. and i know we cant stay together because long distance definately is out of the picture. he says he knows that we are going to drift apart and lose contact but i dont want that. im in love with him and i want to be in a relationship with him but i know that he has no choice but to move with his family. my question is, should i break up with him now to save the pain in a month? or should we stay going out and fall more in love then feel even worse when he leaves? uggghhh im so happy with him that i cant even imagine breaking up with him. i dont know what to doooo (link)
Hmmmm, Sorry to hear about that. I've been there and I know it is a tough decision. If you guys love each other than you will make it work. I met my wife 2 weeks before I left for the military. After we had been together for about a year we got married. In the first year that I knew her, we spent maybe 25 days together. And we have been together for 7 years now. It will be hard, and there will most likely be jealousy, and arguments, but it can be done. If you both love each other and want to be together, than don't break up with him. That's just giving up. By you doing that you are telling him that you don't want to put in the work and effort to have a relationship. You might end up getting hurt in the end, but at least you will not have any regrets. It will set the tone for your future, with or without him. You will be making the statement that you will fight for what you want. And you won't give up at the first obstacle in the road. Hope that helps. Good luck


Do you aways know when the condom breaks? Me and my boyfriend do it like once every weekend and he pulls out (with the condom on) and cums outside me into the condom, just incase it broke i dont want his cum in me. we check the condom everytime after and it hasnt broken. BUt my question is, do you always know when it breaks? If there was no leakage, does that mean I'm okay and shouldnt worry? (link)
Not sure about women, but for a guy, when a condom breaks we will immediatley know it. It will all of a sudden feel 10 times better than it did a second ago. We aren't stupid. We aren't gonna say, "Wow I wonder why this feels so much better all of a sudden." I don't know if it will all of a sudden feel better for a girl but I would assume so. Something about skin on skin feels better that rubber on skin. As for the risk factor, there is always a risk no matter what. I knew a couple that used birth control, condom, and he pulled out, and they still got pregnant. I stress that is very very rare, but there is no 100% way to prevent it.


i have been married for 17 yrs my husband is a very caring man and i do believe that he loves me he never goes out without me for a drink he is a hard worker but the problem is we do not have sex its been five months i have put a bit of weight on and i feel that may have put him off i have spoken to him about my feelings but he justs says I'm not fat then he will ask if i want to go to bed but i cant because i feel has if i have to prompt him and all the romance has gone his he only doing it to please me?

Thats a tough situation you are in. I will try to help as best I can. You have been married for a long time. I think to survive that long you two love each other. No questions about that. I DO NOT think he isn't sleeping with you because of weight. Do not get yourself down about that. Men actually can sense that and it can be a turnoff for some. If you feel sexy and act sexy, we will see that confidence and actually get turned on by it. He is probally burnt out from work, and sex is the last thing on his mind. I know I have felt that way from time to time. If he comes home from work, and its a routine, then its not going to change anything. My suggestion is to spice things up. Wear something you know turns him on, do something romantic together. Or you can actually make the first move. I love it when my wife does this. For me it can get frustrating if I always have to initiate. Almost like I have to put on a show and go through all the motions to get her in the mood. It can feel like work, and that may be why you haven't slept together. A suggestion is, don't ask him about it. He already knows how you feel. In a sense, just attack him. My wife actually did this once as we were walking out the door to go to a party and it was very sexy. It boosted my confindence which in turn allowed me to perform better.(At least I think so) You are his wife and he loves you no matter what. Don't get down on yourself. I know how you feel when you said that you didn't want to have sex with him, because you felt you shouldn't have to ask. There's your answer. Don't ask. Feel sexy, and take what you want. I would be really suprised if he turned that down. Hope that helps. If you have any more questions feel free to ask me


I'm 13 and I never played a guitar before, and I'm planning to start having lessons now, but the problem is I can't decide if I should learn acoustic guitar or electric guitar. Money is not really a problem, but hopefully not too expensive.
Can anyone tell me more about acoustic guitar and electric guitar? Like how long do I have to learn it for, or the difficulty of it. (link)
If you want to learn guitar, than you learn guitar. It's not like one is completely different than the other. You don't learn one, and then have to start over on the next. The difference lies in the sound and the difficulty in learning. Electric is slighty easier to learn because of what is called the "action." Basically this is the distance between the strings and the fretboard. On an electric guitar the "action" is a little shorter. So you won't have to press down as hard on the strings, which is very important to begginner guitar players. With an acoustic you will have to push down a little harder on the strings which will in turn make your fingers tire quicker. At first you will probably have blisters and your fingers will have a hard time stretching. Thats with either guitar. There are really 2 ways to look at this. If you start with electric, it will be a little easier to play, but that will also require you to buy and amplifier, maybe effects pedals for prefered sound, and guitar cables. If you decide on acoustic, it will be slightly harder to play, but you need no accessories. And learning on an acoustic first gives you an advantage, because after playing it for a while, when you pick up an electric it will feel so much easier because you won't have to push down as hard. And don't give yourself a time limit on learning. Everyone is different. I've been playing for about 10 years and I still learn new stuff. My advice is when you start to learn, learn to play songs that you like. This way you get excited when you start playing one of your fav songs and it keeps you motivated. Otherwise you might get bored just playing the same chords over and over again. If you have any questions just ask me and I will help you as best as I can. good luck.
