Was it wrong of me to ask his friend?
Posted Sunday May 2 2010, 1:08 pm
14 f
Ok, there was rumors going around that my bf kissed his friend. I was really worried over this and I talked to him about it and he said he never kissed her. He never lied to me before..we've been dating for 3 months now. I feel comfortable with my relationship with him..and I don't want to lose him. I just woke up and was worrying have to death again..so I got on face book and I asked his friend if it was true. Was that wrong of me? The only way I could no for sure would be asking her? I saw that she has a boy friend. My bf knows how worried I get..but I'm worried he will be upset by this...Should I delted the message to her?

Mothers
Posted Thursday April 29 2010, 8:38 pm
17/m
So I live alone with my mother, and I am more so an independent spirit.
The thing is my mother is
~nosy, she has to know every minute detail...if I go upstairs she always has to know why, etc...
~Stubborn, I try to help her, I try to advise her with what i know will help, but she is too stubborn to get help sometimes.
~Picky. Its like she chooses everything I wear and each decision I make, she told me to ask for a higher amount on my hourly wage than minimum, and that shot down my chance of getting that job.
I know they say mothers know more than teenagers think they do but at a point it just gets overbearing.
Its almost like we never talk, or whenever we do its naggy. I'm fed...

missed curfew
Posted Tuesday April 27 2010, 7:10 pm
I am a 20 year old female, and to give a better idea of myself, I go to school full time and work part time and would not describe myself as a huge partier. I was going out Saturday night, and my curfew is usually 2am (my mom is a big worrier). I was going to a party and asked my mom in advance if I could stay out a bit later, and we got into an argument and she refused. I ended up not getting a ride home until 3am, and my mom was up waiting for me and was furious. I didn't purposely do it out of spite, but nonetheless, it happened and she said my curfew was now 1am and if it happened again, it would keep getting earlier. How can I fix this situation? I admitted I was wrong, but I still felt that I deserved a yes to my request earier for a ...

We can't communicate!
Posted Monday April 26 2010, 3:41 pm
My husband and I are just not communicating properly. We've been married for 12 years. HE's from Holland, I'm Canadian...that's been a cultural issue in the past. We get frustrated easily with each other. We were both the youngest in our families...if that makes a difference. Our kids don't see us comprimise, figure out problems together or work together very often at all and I'm afraid we won't teach them how to do those things properly for their future. Where do we begin?

going crazy living with my mother!
Posted Thursday April 22 2010, 5:13 pm
about a year ago i moved back in with my mom in her housing complex, she ended up getting into some legal trouble involving a dwi and drugs and now she is getting kicked out of her apartment because of it, she doesn't work a normal job and says that she can't because of "mental issues" she says that she is bipolar and who knows maybe she is but i think she uses things as an excuse to not change her life a lot. right now we live in a 1 bedroom apartment, i sleep in the living room which is also connected to the living room and she has this guy that she sees on and off again over all the time. When they wake up her boyfriend immediately comes out and sits on the couch right next to my futon and today i told her that i thought it w...

don't want you here, can't leave.

alright, i could write ALOT about this, so i'm going to try my best and be brief. me and my mom have always been on and off, fighting pretty good and then other times we're totally fine and happy.

problems with future sister-in-law
Posted Tuesday April 20 2010, 3:05 am
so my soon to be sister-in-law and i were friends in college prior to her and my brother's relationship. at the beginning of their relationship after a long day of drinking she left me a voice mail about how she had sex with my brother, came over to me and said that i needed to listen to it, i played the message but due to the surroundings i was unable to hear it, so she decided to scream out in front of 10 of my close friends that she had sex with my brother last night and it was good. since that day i had no need to entertain her. when they would come back to where i went to school they would stay with me for free, and ditch me every chance they got even though they were going out with all of our mutual friends. that was were i decided sh...

I have just been placed in the custody of the state and am now living in a residential facility. I just got out of a mental institution that is only 20 mins away from my sister. I am now about 2 hours away. She had the opportunity to see me before I left but chose not to! I don't understand what I did! She visited me on several occasions there and I offered to help her in any way I possibly could. Its not my fault that my mom and I don't get along and she knew that. Should I just move on and leave everyone behind to try to start a new life or do I ask her what is wrong?

My mom doesn't listen.
Posted Tuesday April 6 2010, 9:02 pm
My mom doesn't like who I am or who I hang out with very much. She tells me I'm going through a teenage phase and can't wait till in out of this 'hippie' phase. Yeah, I'm almost 18, not 13. Then, when I try to express how I feel about how judgemental she is or how I wish she'd accept me for what I like, she makes a big joke out of it. She'll be like "oh yeah I forgot I don't know you, your only my daughter" when really, she doesn't. I realize that was a teenage remark, but she doesn't know experiences I went through, like how I was almost raped at a high school party when I was fourteen which was known about me all through high school and I never had a boyfriend or even many friends. So I
made friends with really nice 'hip...

Brother problems.
Posted Tuesday April 6 2010, 6:11 pm
My brother got busted by the police for the first time approximately 4 weeks ago. He called from the hospital telling us he had to get a blood test to see if he was high or under the influence. We just got the papers today that he should find a lawyer, he is in for three charges, under the influence, drug paraphernalia and window screening (which is the tinting on the person's car he was driving, I don't know what that is but that was one of his charges). Now, since all of this happened and we got all the papers, I believe my brother is in the most trouble because he wasn't even driving his car, he was driving his friends who was in the back seat of the vehicle when they were pulled over. They searched the car and searched each person, they...

My dad's reading incest "literotica"!!?
Posted Saturday April 3 2010, 12:08 am
The only computer in my house is in my room. My dad is the only one who used it today and in a minimized window is "Literotica." I flipped back through the pages and he's reading titles in the Incest section under the searches "love," "lust," and "daddy."
I am his only daughter. I'm 17. He's 60.
I'm really disturbed. I've seen it on the history before but I've figured, everyone has strange fetishes. But incest?! This is really grossing me out. I feel like I have to hide my body now around him. I dress like most teenage girls-- short shorts, low cut tops-- and now I just want to cover up and die.
Should I bring it up with my mom? She's the only other one l...

My husband and I are always fighting and arguing
Posted Tuesday March 30 2010, 5:35 pm
My husband and I have been married for a little over 2yrs. He is 36 and I am 28. He is Israeli and I am originally from Canada though I now live in Israel and we speak mostly Hebrew. I mention this b/c it could be a contributing factor to our communication problems and difficulty connecting on deeper levels. My Hebrew is good but it doesn't compare to mother tongue.
We have a 1.5 year old daughter who we both love very much and neither one of us wants to get a divorce. We are both good people with good intentions but we are constantly getting into fights and arguments on a daily basis sometimes 2 or 3 times a day. Its like we really don't along. One of the main causes of conflict is that I am super sensitive to critism. I sup...
