marriage after cheating
Posted Friday February 3 2012, 5:57 pm
I have been married for 6 years to whom I consider the best woman out there. I need to say that for the record. She is quick witted, smart, and has many abilities that could easily drop her into multiple career paths. Admittedly, she does feel indecisive. She hasn't followed up on any true career path and her indecisiveness has gotten the best of her in other ways. Our relationship throughout those 6 years have not been happy for both of us. While dating, I did catch her cheating and I realized that she had thought I was going to leave her so she was in essence seeing another guy. Things got better. But, I realized I have difficulty expressing myself with her. We have 4 kids now. The forth child was a difficult one in that I had no permanen...

hurt feelings over being seated in the back at a wedding
Posted Monday January 30 2012, 12:44 am
My husband and I attended His brother's daughter's wedding. We are the very immediate family.All of my husband's brothers and sisters(also immediate family) and their spouses were seated at the front of the room at table 1 and 2 ,however we were assigned seats in the very back of the room.We were surprised and saddened by their choice to put us there. The whole family is very kind ,loving and religious.There are no problems between any of us, we really love all of them. We feel so hurt. Should we address this? If so ,Is there a polite way to do it?I am lost and so hurt. Thank You

My niece loves my husband ?
Posted Sunday January 29 2012, 7:41 pm
My niece has a secret crush on my husband. She loves to cuddle with him so I let her. I let him lay down in bed with her and hold her when she's sad or scared. She wrote a love note to him yesterday and it was really sweet. She even asked him to marry her. He gives her hugs and kisses and he plays with her too. She's upset because she knows she can't be in a real relationship with him. She thinks he's cute and funny and he is. Me and him have been married for almost 13 years. We don't have any children. She really loves him and she really wants to be with him. Every time I try to explain our marriage to her she gets upset and cries. How can I explain it to her ? She's 5 years old. He's 35 almost 36.

How to deal with a VERY angry mom?
Posted Sunday January 29 2012, 7:40 pm
My mum has been very angry at me lately. I got this new Smiggle diary of 2012. She thinks it's completely useless and she began yelling at me for no reason.
Since my great-grandfather died, my mum has been really upset. She gets angry often at anyone who disagrees to her or, in her point of view, doesn't appreciate what she has done to this family.
That day I was using it and she just came into my room. I have a cellphone, so she sometimes uses it to use the Internet.
When she saw me writing in my diary, she immediately asked how much it costed me. When I told her it was $20, her face got red and she was immediately angry. She told me I should stop spending money and do something good for the family. Then she said reall...

What do I do about my little sister being attracted to me?
Posted Tuesday January 17 2012, 6:47 am
I'm 21 and my sister is 17. I'm fairly attractive, and a bit more attractive and popular than she is. When we were younger she very clearly had a crush on me, but I put an end to it and told her I'm just her brother and nothing more (when she told me she wanted to marry me some day). Now that we are both basically adults, its becoming clear to me that she still feels the same way.
She constantly seeks my attention, physical contact, and her body language is fairly obvious. Its a very weird situation for me to be in, and Ive basically been ignoring it, thinking she would grow out of it. I don't want to bring it up because it would just be weird. What should I do?

I'm turning 21. Everyone in my house treats me like I'm 12, I am in college, and the stress is depressing me! Sorry this is long :-/
Posted Monday January 16 2012, 11:12 am
Every day, this is wearing me down. I think I'm really starting to get into a depression and because of having a positive personality, I've been able to get by. But, I really need some GOOD advice. On Wednesday, I'm turning 21. Everyone in my house thinks I'm 12. Or at least treats me like I am. Let's start with my mom. She loves me a lot. She has OPENLY ADMITTED that she is obsessed with me. I'm adopted and found out when I was 18. Even the way she speaks about the adoption... she says she was OBSESSED with finding me. It's nice to have someone love you. It's not nice to have someone be obsessed with you. Not to mention that I'm like her entire life. She has no job. My parents are divorced, so she has no husband/boyfriend. She doesn't want...

How do I have a normal relationship with my ever-angry mother?
Posted Sunday January 15 2012, 3:06 pm
My Mother gets mad at me all the time. Whenever I'm in a bad mood, or feeling upset, instead of offering sympathy she yells at me and gets angry. It's pretty aggravating and it's caused me to realize I can't talk to her about anything and expect to come away with any meaningful advice. So, I can't talk to my mother, but neither can I talk to anyone else. I don't have a best friend, I'm distant from my Dad, my brother is too reserved and shy to talk to me about my problems, and I'm not close with any teachers at school.
The good thing is I don't have any gaping problems that I desperately need advice or comfort on. But it makes me sad that I don't have someone to talk to about my usual teenage troubles--like boys, friends, dra...

My mother is taking me to the gynecologist. What do I do?
Posted Saturday January 14 2012, 12:22 am
I have been dating my boyfriend for about six months. He and I have a very stable relationship, full of happiness and trust and good chemistry. He is my best friend and I couldn't ask for anything more.
We have sex about every week.
Today, we were babysitting, and we were just chilling, watching movies and taking naps. We babysat from 12 until 8, and then the baby went to sleep. My mother came home and said, "You and Josh (my boyfriend) better not be doing anything bad when you're home all alone." I just stared at my computer. "I'm going to set up an appointment for the gynecologist." I could feel my face turn red with embarrassment and shame. I was about to cry but I bit my lip and turned up my mu...
