My mom Just is mean and she doesn't even go to work she sits around the house asleep she calls me a asshole,whops me with a belt and slaps me I just wanna stab her and shove her head in some water and put some explosives in here mouth that's how much she angers me.

I'm pretty young and I noticed when I was 13 or 12 she always used to pants me in front of someone and laugh as a joke. But when we were alone, she would not only pull my pants down, but pull even my underwear down when I least expected it. I told her not to do those things and eventually it stopped. By the way, I never told anyone about her fascination with... You know. Honestly, it's kind of embarrassing and I don't want to be put into a corner because she saw my junk multiple times. Anyways, fast forward a few years and two times now she sits on my lap facing forward with her thighs across my legs and says "girl time!" And moves her body up and down. I'm scared and confused on what to do. Should I tell someone? Is this a learned behavioufrom someone else or is this a 7 year old doing something unknowingly.

My boyfriend has Disneyland passes and he goes with his family pretty much every weekend. We've been together for a while now, and we've met each other's parents. His mom has invited me to go to Disneyland a couple of times, but each time I've said no because I knew my mom would say no before I even got a chance to ask. They asked me to go again today, and so this time I asked my mom, but she hasn't answered yet. We're both 16 and juniors in high school but my mom still believes I'm too young to go to Disneyland Should I be allowed to go and if I am, what are some good arguments for my right to be there with him and his family?

I have cut for 4 months, and I ended up having to tell my mom in the car before a swim party I had to go to. She was really mad at me, and I know it's bad, I've tried to stop, but I just wanted help stopping because it's hard to not use it as a form of helping myself feel better. What should I do to get help? How do I stop so my mom doesn't disown me or my dad get mad when he finds out too?

I was walking my dogs in a empty buisness section. Well because its a Sunday. Weekdays are full of cars. I then saw another car driving around. I then walked to the nearest garbage can to throw away my dogs crap. A stranger (female) said cute dogs. i said thanks. she asked my age ithen said a very dumb thing. my real age. she then asked for my name and said my real name. Dumb of me. She then said. I wont tell any onw do you want a *******? I then said no thanks.i then walked away. what do i do

I met this guy at school in math class we were never really anything more than acquaintances but i had a crush on him and never went through with it because he was and still is in a relationship with someone. Back when we didnt talk to each other He waited in his car for me to get off the school bus then drove by my house to see what one i would walk into and he did it so casually that i didn t think anything of it at the time like maybe he didn t just wait for me and was just driving down the street. And now that its summer i would see him drive by occasionally when i happened to look out my window but that didn t mean much either Because i think he lived around there. Well anyways i moved to a place further away. But now it seems like i see him everywhere i go. At the grocery store i walked past the back of his car and he almost hit me with it and i looked over to see him. I saw him at the cities lake view walking with another girl that wasn t his girlfriend but couldn t get a good view to see if that was him. Then again at the mall with another girl but also wasn t 100 percent sure. When i went to carls junior he was parked in the parking lot. And i also saw him again at another drive thru and he ignored the lady giving him his food so he could stare at me when i was driving by. But Is this all a coincidence and I m being paranoid or am i just being stalked? I dont think he s that dangerous but its starting to bother me and messing with my head, i need to know.

So my family and I were supposed to go to some stupid fair I didn t want to go to because I m an only child and things like that are boring and lonely for me so I told him I didn t want to go so he asked what I wanted to do and I said I would find something.My mum comes in my room and I was on the computer looking up the 5 bite diet but I didn t want her to know I was so I grabbed my phone quickly amd saw a text from my dad saying we were oing to the fair anyways which pissed me off.He finished the text with if your friends are free they can come.even though I told him they were all busy.So my mum asks me if I have any friends that are free and i say no she then says what/and I say slightly louder No and she got pissed and grabbed my phone and left my room saying why have you been such a ***** since you ve come back from your friends house.why is she being a *****?is she being over dramatic?Am i being rude?is this my fault?and is what she did necessary? also how do I explain what happened on my side.and how do I ask what I did wrong?

I have an older cousin who has tremendous jealousy and has hurt me because of it. She often refuses to invite me to certain events and likes to not include me. For example, today my cousin told my mom that she wanted to invite her and my dad to this event but purposefully left my name out and she did this right in front of me. Yes this event is open to the public and I am over 21, so I am allow to attend as well. She has done this before and while I should confront her about how I feel, I don't because in the past when I have told her about how I felt, she continues to hurt and make me jealous all the more. I was thinking of inviting a friend to come along with me to the event, but I honestly don't feel like doing it because I am in no way a mean person. What should I do about this situation? Should I not let it bother me or should I tell her how I really feel which may cause more tension between us? I realize it sounds stupid to be jealous and mad over this and I am sorry, its just that she has continued to find ways to get me upset or jealous and I just don't know how to handle it. Often times I ignore what she is saying, but in reality it really hurts my feelings when she brags or tries to make me feel bad for my own life. I am a graduate student/ instructor so I have nothing to feel bad about. In case you are wondering, she is 30 and I am 24. How do you handle someone who tries to make you feel bad or jealous? Any advice would be helpful, thanks!

My friend gave her neighbors 6 bags full of toys, clothes, shoes and purses to give to their 3 daughters (she was cleaning out house). She wasn't expecting anything, but should she have at least gotten a thank you? Any thoughts?

My friend gave her neighbors 6 bags full of toys, clothes, shoes and purses to give to their 3 daughters (she was cleaning out house). She wasn't home at the time to give them, so her parents gave them to the neighbors instead. The neighbors know that she gave them away to them. She wasn't expecting anything, but should she have at least gotten a thank you? They never talk or anything anyway, but she felt they could have at least thanked her personally. Any thoughts? Just get over it? Please answer and no mean comments, thank you.

Yesterday, me and my mom talked about what I was upset about. Going to school. I told her that it was because of the bullying, arrogance from other classmates. I claimed that I didn't want to go back, and that I shouldn't have to deal with these social problems, which then.. lead me to the idea of convincing her into letting me be homeschooled. I showed her my curiosity upon it, and why it's more comfortable. She seemed like she agreed, but it didn't. I don't know if she thinks it's right or wrong. Anyway, today I was crying, because I have anxiety(fear), of going to school on Monday(tomorrow). She asked what was wrong, and I didn't tell her.. so she basically predicted the issue, guessed it right. Then she exclaims that everyone has to go through with it, and that it's life. I told her that I don't want to destroy my self-esteem only to get an education, when there's another way of benefitting both those needs. That led to an altercation, after I angrily told her that i didn't want to go back. She explained to me, how I shouldn't expect a problem to occur, mainly... and that there's something severely wrong with me if i'm crying over going to school.. to which, I probably need medication or mental help. Since everyone goes through with it and that I should keep trying to never give up, basically what everyone parent tells their child during situations like this. My self-esteem is already destroyed to the point where I don't have an optimism for myself..(read my other answer)

Is there nothing wrong to fall in love to your cousin. Also, is it a good idea to tell her what I feel. Can my cousin be my girlfriend or wife. Is it weird.

What can be the reason??? (My ex initiated conversation with me, like a month after we broke up, and we were starting to chat in a nice, sweet way again; then he suddenly disappeared; my last messages are unread; it s been 5 days.) note: 1. he s been occationally sending links of some videos etc for a month. 2. he also sent the link for the video of the second film of a movie we watched together in a romantic way. 2. asked several times when exactly i m moving to his city (i m in another place now and will start working in his city like in 5-6 months, he complained that i said i d move sooner) 3. he recently tried to flirt in a sexual way; kind of suggesting/implying skype sex (i turned him down in a joking way, then i went on talking about other random subjects 4. now he's very silent! what should i think about this? (please don t say move on, etc. it s a very cliche answer:( )

Can love becomes distruction of life?

So yesterday was my birthday and no one told me happy birthday except my boyfriend of 2 years. I always say happy birthday or merry christmas to my boyfriend's brother and give him gifts for 2 years already. But he doesn't wish me happy birthday or anything. Or on any special occasions. I'm tired of expecting him to wish me happy birthday every time my birthday comes. But my boyfriend said he is very clueless and is selfish, but is depressed and barely has friends and I'm one of the few he talks to. He wants me to wish his brother happy birthday/merry Christmas every year because he's lonely & doesn't have much friends, but I never get a gift or even a single greeting from him. What should I do? I never get a greeting from him on ANY special occasion, not just my birthday. But he's a nice person

My daughter name as given in her birth certificate is Abcdef Xxxxx Yyyyy, where Xxxxx is my name(mother) name and Yyyyy is father's name(my husband). The name was given like this so that it will match with her passport, pan card and other documents in future. She is 4 months old now. My question is, can we use her name in short as Abcdef X Y in her school and other documents such as insurance and bank related document? Does this not cause any conflict. Please advise. Thanks.

My crush asked me out last night, and we are going bowling, out for dinner, and a movie tonight. I'm 15 and have never been on a date before and I have never been kissed either. I'm really nervous. I need first date advice on pretty much everything. What should I wear? What should I talk about? Should I be prepared for a kiss or does that not happen on a first date? Is there anything else that would help? We live in the Chicago suburbs and it is supposed to be 100 degrees here, so we will also be in his pool today, too

I met this guy on Plentyoffish. We've been talking for 3 weeks now. We have a lot in common. We've talked on the phone and we text. What's bothering me is his ex. He got out of a relationship a month and a half ago with someone who he had planned to marry. They weren't engaged but he said they talked about getting married and one day she dumped him cause she wanted to be single. He said it left him with a hole in his heart. We haven't met because he's been away with the Air Force, stationed in another state. Now he's gonna finish up his contract while being in the Reserves and he's from around my area so he's now home. He wants to take me on a date soon. I got upset with him a few days ago because I found out he was talking to his ex and wasn't answering my messages. He said a few days ago was a really stressful day because it was his last day of being at his base and he is having issues with adjusting to the new life he will be living. He didn't want me seeing him like that. He said he was talking to her because he found out she was going to be at a birthday party for his friend's child. He said his ex is friend's with his friend and his friend's wife that is hosting it. And that they have lots of mutual friends so he can't really avoid her. He found out she was going to be there so he contacted her to make it clear that he doesn't want any problems with her. He said he likes me but he's just being honest. That they talked briefly on the phone to clear the air. He said he had her blocked on Fb and only unblocked her to speak about what happen between them since they had a fight the last time they saw each other and that he wants to get along with her if he has to be around her. He said he's always been honest with me and was hurt that I got upset with him.. I don't find anything normal about contacting an ex you say you haven't talked to since your break up when you like someone else. He made promises to me and told me I was special. And now I am kind of wanting to back off of him, it sounds like there's a lot of drama in his life. I don't want to be with anyone whose friends are friends with their ex because they are so used to seeing them together that they won't fully accept anyone else who comes after and I don't need to be around his ex. They don't have kids together or anything. And If I look insecure or crazy I don't care

What to do when love hurts is it a sign that i`m on the wrong path?Should it hurt,naturally or it shouldn`t...?

I'd love to adopt lots of kids because I love children and would love to create the best childhood for them as I could. But i never ever want to have children of my own. If I did I probably wouldn't want anything to do with the child and wouldn't want it in my life. I would never want to pass on my genes to anyone and I never want anyone to be like me or related to me. I hate the thought of having my own biological child but love the thought of adopting and raising 20 kids. Why do I feel this way? Is this normal? Does anyone else feel this way? I'm 17 by the way

By the way, I ordered some items online and they are expected to arrive (in my current place) by the end of August.

My boyfriends brother is two years younger than me, and constantly has boners around me, I'm 17, and he's 15. He is always touching and feeling me, breathing on me when my boyfriends not around. My boyfriend didnt believe me, until I set my phone up recording him, while my boyfriend went downstairs. He picks me up like 24/7 like a rag doll, and he always rubs his thing on me, and I have to pretend it isn't there, when it's clearly visible. Someone tell me what to do? Do I like just stare at it until he goes away? Lolol. His parents say "OH HE IS JUST BEING A BOY" like seriously? When I was 15, I was wondering how to put on make up, but I guess guys are different.

Okay, so first off, I am seventeen years old, I've been with my boyfriend for two years, and we have hung out every single day, I stay the night at his house. He stays the night at mine, and I have a really big jealousy issue, to where I get really mad if a girl is checking my boyfriend out, or if he is checking another girl out. Which he doesn't. So when me and him first got together, i was very shy, and his mom had just met me, and all of the sudden he said something that set her off and she runs after him and starts hitting him. So let's get to the point, for some reason she makes fun of my jealousy issues behind my back. In just wondering, WHY? I am completely nice to her, I'm shy around her, she complains to my own mother she hates how shy I am. She's really pushing my buttons, and I can only be so nice to someone, she's constantly putting my boyfriend down, calling him day when she's twice his size, and his little brother weighs more than him, the whole point of me saying this is, what is so wrong with me to make her not like me? She is such a dirt bag. :c I need help.

This singer from MKTO named tony is my type he's good looking sexy funny he makes me feel some type of way I'm 18 btw

I am so stupid for comforting him and falling for him. He was with another girl a few days later and hugging her and kissing her. I feel embarrassed for even setting next to him when he was depressed. I was in love with him as he hugged me and kissed me. I am so crazy for falling for him. I felt bad for him that he was going through tough times, but I am stupid for even being by his side the whole night and hugging him back. How pathetic can I be. I saw him with another girl and he was hugging her more and kissing her. I felt so hurt and ashamed for even wasting my time with him. What should I do. Any advice. How would I move on with loving him, I feel ashamed for even loving him as he told me that he loved me. Why did he tell me that he loved me and why did the hell he hug me and kiss me and then stop what is going on. I am so confused would someone advice me please.

A year ago I met this guy two days after I got out of a relationship lets just call him "bob". Okay so I think bob fell for me really fast, while I was still confused if I wanted anything. we were considered 'talking' . when one night I went out and kissed another guy at a bar and he found out. an told me he was done but admitted he really liked me and he'd always open up to me but i would always assume the worst. after that when I lost him, I started chasing him trying to talk to him we'd talk for a little and again argue and he'd disappear he's a taurus. so this cycle was going on for almost a year now and I hadn't seen him since that happen. recently we got in contact again and i found out he was year visiting he lives out of town now. so anyways I told him this time I want answers I need answers. I am tired of him acting like hes giving me a chance but always getting mad and disappearing. he joked about if he see's me he wants to sleep with me , so I said okay i mean we been doing this for a year now and maybe that would help get the aggression out. he ended up coming over we had patient sex more like making love. he got dressed after i asked if he was leaving he said no he'd stay a while so we went in the tv room and i started asking him questions he couldn't even look at me. i asked if he still cared he said no he didn't especially after what I did. then he got even more awkward he got up and said he was leaving but then says text me i meant to say passionate sex. after all that happen for 8 months he didn't want to see me why all of a sudden decide he wants to sleep with me. i thought if he saw me it bring back old emotions but he was acting so emotionless

This is regarding the case in the news awhile ago, where a young woman bit off the penis of the man who was attempting to rape her. He had attacked her and was trying to force himself in her mouth, but she bit down hard. Over 90 percent of his penis was removed, and it could not be reattached. The article didn't give names, but said the woman was 20 years old, and the man 44 years old (who apparently had a history of sex offenses). I was reading some comments online about it by guys, and they felt sorry for the rapist! They said he was wrong, but also that the girl went too far. They thought its unfair that he can't "bust a nut" now (and that she deprived him future sexual pleasure, and he "has to pee, and feel, like a girl now"). 1. Do you agree, that she had a right to do what she did? 2. Do you feel sorry that he "has to pee, and feel, like a girl" now (& why)? 3. What do you think abut him being unable to have sexual pleasure now, or even "bust a nut" ever again? 4. If you could SAY anything to the guy, what would you say (using quotations)? .

I found out my boyfriend has a sexual curiousity for men. He doesn't know that I found this information through a sex site. How can I confront him with evidence without upsetting him? And, what makes a man have sexual curiousity for other men after being straight his entire life? We have sex regularly and he portrays himself as completely straight....(desires of female gender only) so what brings the change?

Boyfriend's brother never wishes me happy birthday.. should I say it back? So yesterday was my birthday and no one told me happy birthday except my boyfriend of 2 years and his parents. My family is abusive to me so I don't expect them to say it and I have no friends. Anyways, I always say happy birthday or merry christmas to my boyfriend's brother and give him gifts for 2 years already. But he doesn't wish me happy birthday or anything. Or on any special occasions. I'm tired of expecting him to wish me happy birthday every time my birthday comes. But my boyfriend said he is very clueless and is selfish, but is depressed and barely has friends and I'm one of the few he talks to. He wants me to wish his brother happy birthday/merry Christmas every year because he's lonely & doesn't have much friends, but I never get a gift or even a single greeting from him. What should I do? I never get a greeting from him on ANY special occasion, not just my birthday. He is NICE parents and my parents are emotionally abusive!!!! I also have NO friends and I have depression as well but I always say happy birthday to him He is a nice person, just never greets me on special occasions.

Okay so me and this boy were kinda "talking" and we both had told each other that we liked each other so we continued to talk for a couple months but then he just said he Didn't really like me anymore and he told me he liked my best friend so to make him like I didn't care I said oh well I can give you her number so I did and he texted her but she didn't like him. So fast forward a month be texted me and said hey and we talked like friends for maybe 45 minutes and then stopped then fast forward about a month in a half he started texting me again so we talked for a couple hours and he opened up about something personal and then we talked more and he said he would talk to me tomorrow. Basically everytime be texts me I'm like well maybe I can forgive him for leaving me and going after someone else but then he does it again and I'm like okay I'm not going to fall for it again but I do everytime and I feel like I'm on his back burner so how can I get myself to quite falling for it? Also i would like to stay friends with him.

I have this 30 year old who is extremely jealous of me and because of this jealousy she refuses to include me. For example, today she told my mom that she would like to invite my dad and her to this event, but left my name out and she did it right in front of me. She has done this numerous of times before and it hurts me greatly. I have told her how her actions have hurt me in the past , but she seems to do it all the more. Even though I am a graduate student/ instructor and live in a nice home, etc, I have never bragged or made her feel bad for her own life . I understand that my cousin has went through hurt, such as losing a mom, not having a college degree and working part time in a box office, living in a home with a dead beat dad, etc. However, I don't feel she should hurt me because she feels hurt or jealous. Sometimes I don't know what to do, she just really makes me feel bad about myself, such as the fact that I don't party or have a boyfriend, I am 24, but I care about doing well in grad school and in my career as a teacher for right now, marriage and all that will come later. I do feel worthless and sorry for my own life when I am around her and I worry that my parents would rather have her as their daughter versus me. My cousin acts like she is better than me and it does hurt me. What do you do with a person like this? How do you deal or respond to a cousin or someone who makes you feel bad or jealous besides ignoring them?

I have been living with my current boyfriend for nine years I knew he was not the most organized person when I met him and I actually thought about whether I could deal with his messiness or if it would drive me nuts before we got serious. I made a conscious choice to accept him flaws and all. Lately his messes increased, I have tried talking to him calmly, reasoning with him and I have even tried to over look his messes. What else can I try?

My old stalker of 20 yrs ago has moved to the city I currently live in with his current wife. He has no reason to be in this random city 2000 miles from where we are from...other than my presence here. So...should I stalk him back? He doesnt know that I know his location. Would be nice to get some vigilante justice. Or should I ignore him? He has been married several years with no kids. I do have kids to protect....but sweet justice....

I like using a survey gift card site to earn extra money to buy stuff. Right now my laptop isn't working (broken fan) and the site doesn't do so well on my tablet but it does great on my husbands computer. He doesn't want me to use it on his computer because he doesn't feel it is "safe." And I have not had any problems with it. He has used my laptop to get on sites he shouldn't have that I don't feel are "safe" (ahem). Would it be fair if I did it while he was at work? I can delete history and run part of cc cleaner. He gets to choose what's off limits on his computer but do whatever he wants on my laptop?

Long story short, I got drunk at a friends party and I supposedly made out with a guy.. But I'm married?? Someone took a picture of me kissing him but I WAS DRUNK!! I LOVE MY HUSBAND!! I DIDNT KNOW ANY BETTER I WAS DRUNK!! The person who took the pic is threatening to show my husband!! I dunno what to do!!

I am very self conscious of my body and such and have major anxiety issues when it comes to anything intimate due to bad experiences both as a child and as an adult. I want to overcome these mental blocks to show him I care more for him than to let these issues get in my way. Any help of any amount is really appreciated.

I am so crazy for ever falling in love with a guy that we were best friends and then we shifted apart for a few years. then I see him and he hugs me and kisses me. after that he tells me that he loves me. I comfort him for what he is going through. I fall in love then. Then a few days later I see him with another girl that he kisses and hugs and is showing more affection to her than he did to me. why was he nice to me why did he hug me and kiss me in the first place why did he tell me that he loves me. why did i ever fall for him. advice please? was it normal for me to ever fall for him and to feel in love with him. i feel embarrassed for even showing him more love than he did for me.

Uh. So yeah. Kami ng girlfriend ko, 4th year HS, been together for a year. Last saturday, nagmeeting yung council namen. May ibang students din sa school at the time. Nagpunta kami sa main building para kunin yung documents dun. Then I kissed her. Sa tingin ko, may nakakita samin. Ano ba magandang palusot para hindi kami ma-issue?

This past summer my dog who ive had my whole life and was very close to me died, all 4 of my fish died and I keep having nightmares about their deaths, my boyfriend broke up with me for being to much of a downer, and we just moved, and everythings turning to utter crap. =( the school years about to start but im going to a uniform school and ive never been. Ive never really had a friend at my old school I was always super shy and now im afraid I eont meet a friend here. I desperately need someone. I cant talk to my parents about crap or theyll either up my medication or scream at me vor bothering them. Idk... just does anyone have any tips on how to deal with this?

Is it wrong to call them out (nicely of course) on their arrogance, how they sound, why this isn't appropriate, etc? If not, how do you go about this? Where I work, and in my neighborhood, there are a lot of people younger than me. (I'm 21, and they're between 15-18.) When I know someone is older than me, I don't try to disrespect them on purpose, be rude to them, etc. because...they're older than me!! But, because I look much younger than I am (people tell me I look between 12-16 -___-) , I think these kids think that I don't know what I'm doing and that because they're more assertive, outgoing, "experience" (VERY relative), etc. that they can run their mouths and make snap judgments about me. It makes me lose confidence in myself. How can I be more assertive and explain to them that just because I look young, am quieter, etc. doesn't mean that I'm going to allow them to stomp all over me, think I'm stupid, etc. (Note: not all of them are like this; some, this is just how their personality is, I think. The thing is, it's not a nice personality trait to exhibit because it translates and comes across as rudeness.) So far, I've not addressed these kids regarding this because I hate confrontations and confrontations leads to arguments, usually..Is there a nice way to teach children to be nice?? * "experienced" They're at my workplace..............Thankfully, I don't really work with them, but when we have meetings together, or when they come in when I get off but am still there (say I leave at 4 and they start at 4), chances are we'll be having at least some contact... Also, the ones in my neighborhood just come up to me because there's no one else for them to hang out with their age, and I was trying to be nice... I didn't say I went to school with them....... Saul, I'm sure that's very rough. Okay, extremely rough and I shouldn't be complaining. It's annoying when people who are younger than you try to discredit you..yes!!! For sure! How do you deal with it, though? Can I call them out on it--can I use my age and experience and tell them that I appreciate their advice but I think I've got this one? Or is that too rude? :/// How do you deal with those people in your life? Ignore them? Saul, Thank you for responding to my update and for your great advice. It helps to know EVERYONE deals with people like this. I'm sorry you've had run-ins like this throughout your life. :( Your advice to ignore them is excellent and shows maturity (something I'm trying to work on). In the end, what these people act better about doesn't really matter in the long run. Pem, Thanks for answering and for your good advice!!

I am in love with my ex boyfriends step-brother. His dad, thinks very highly of me, and my ex boyfriend wants me to date him again, but i am in love with his brother. He has no idea, that i know of, that i love him. We are friendly. I cant decide if i want to tell him (The one i love), my ex, or there dad?

It makes no sense. Is it because they know they cant afford old people homes or caregivers, in their old age so they have a lot of kids to take care of them. As far as i know birth control is free, Planned parenthood and clinics offer abortions for free also @dingfries are done. RACIST. LOOK AT THE DUGGARS WITH 19 KIDS AND COUNTING. THEY WOULD BEG FOR MONEY AT CHURCHES.

im the type of person who usually sits off to the side and observes people. im fairly quite, im also very overweight im 5'11 and weigh 300 i dont really like myself too much when it comes to my looks and social interaction, i mean i know how to have fun but majority of the time unless someone approaches me first im horrible at conversation... can someone give me suggestions on how to be more social?

A year ago I met this guy two days after I got out of a relationship lets just call him "bob". Okay so I think bob fell for me really fast, while I was still confused if I wanted anything. we were considered 'talking' . when one night I went out and kissed another guy at a bar and he found out. an told me he was done but admitted he really liked me and he'd always open up to me but i would always assume the worst. after that when I lost him, I started chasing him trying to talk to him we'd talk for a little and again argue and he'd disappear he's a taurus. so this cycle was going on for almost a year now and I hadn't seen him since that happen. recently we got in contact again and i found out he was year visiting he lives out of town now. so anyways I told him this time I want answers I need answers. I am tired of him acting like hes giving me a chance but always getting mad and disappearing. he joked about if he see's me he wants to sleep with me , so I said okay i mean we been doing this for a year now and maybe that would help get the aggression out. he ended up coming over we had patient sex more like making love. he got dressed after i asked if he was leaving he said no he'd stay a while so we went in the tv room and i started asking him questions he couldn't even look at me. i asked if he still cared he said no he didn't especially after what I did. then he got even more awkward he got up and said he was leaving but then he said you can text me . he never tried sleeping with me before why now

Okay we are 5 already months in a relationship and i loved him so much. I am 15 and he is 16. He would always find a way to make me happy. I am a type of girl who loves to hang out like going to the theaters,ice skating etc. But what bothers me the most is, his father NEVER allows him to go anywhere exept if it involves school nor if it is important. I told u he wanted to make me happy. So he would always lie to his dad to hang out with me. I have no problem with my parents atleast i told the truth. And it is better to ask permission instead of hiding it. My boyfriend just keeps lying. For example he has a dance practice for school but instead he is actually going to the movies with me. And his dad would wonder why is he late to go home. And i am also sad because he would just keep looking worried instead of enjoying. I always try to understand and accept his situation but this problem isnt going away. As a girlfriend arnt i suppose to cheer him up? But its too hard because my true feelings are full of dissapointment. So my question is, what should i do? Should i stop hanging out with him? Instead of being sad should i hide my feelings and cheer him up? Or should i jusy deal with his protective father..

Should she be standing on the left side or right side of a boy?

My friend had forgotten something that belongs to her at my house last night. She is staying at a hotel for a few days but won't be there most of the time due to work. Is it possible for me to leave her belongings at the front desk and she can pick it up when she makes it back to the hotel?

I wasnt snooping, i was looking for a flashlight. Then i found....them. There were two packs, the boxes both open, but none of them were used? They were all there...only one total was used. They expire next year so why did they buy so many years ago?? Did they honestly think they would use them all..? I heard my parents doing it a few days ago and a month ago...but that was 2 times. How come they didnt one..?

I texted him the next day just saying i appreciated him answering my questions and that I'd let it be and that he can contact me if he ever wanted to talk but not response and I left it at that. this happen 3 days ago

I just feel like something isn't right... I haven't been myself recently? I have been getting in arguments with my boyfriend a lot in the past week, I've been quiet, I have gotten mad at the tiniest things, I've been letting go of things that I have always loved doing, I have been getting yelled at a lot bc I haven't done chores even though I used to do them without a problem. I have been isolating myself, crying for no reason... and I don't know what's going on. I just want to be happy, like I used to be. what's wrong?????
