Open Question: Returning to God, relationship confusion...Christians only answer please...?

Hi, I was brought up in a Christian home but became a 'party' teenager and turned away from God, although he has always been in the corner of my mind and I know it was wrong the way I was living. In the last few months I have began reading my bible again, praying and asking God for forgiveness and to help me find my way back to him. My problem is, I have been with my fiancee for 5 years and we have 3 children (2 from a previous relationship) . He knows that I have been reading my bible more etc and how I feel about God. He wasn't brought up in a Christian or any type of religious household, but he does believe in God. I know that sex before marriage is wrong and I'm quite sure we can stop, we have wanted to get married for ages, have been engaged for 4 years. But with 3 young children and my partner being unable to work at the moment due to a badly broken arm that wont heal, we simply can't afford it. I'm in Australia so once the paper work is in we have to wait minimum 1 month and 1 day and even to have a courthouse wedding with just the 2 of us its still more than we can afford. I guess I want to know peoples views on this situation. Even if we stop having pre marital sex, is it ok that we are still living together and sleeping in the same bed. Thank you. :)to pennedagon, im in australia its minimum 1 months 1 day once paper work is in and the court fee is $225. but even that is too much at the moment. more

Open Question: Passport requires 5 MORE IDs? Help!?

Well, my boyfriend and I are planning on going to England for a friend's wedding in June. He has never had a passport before so we applied for his on March 1. The other day, he got a letter from the passport office that he supplied insufficient ID and needs to send AT LEAST 5 MORE FORMS OF ID! He submitted a state ID, birth certificate, and I even signed an affidavit saying he is who he is since I've known him for over two years! Now we're worried that he won't be able to get 5 more forms of ID. He can probably get his voter registration card, SSI card, a picture from the yearbook (lol, the form suggested that) and maybe one more but we aren't sure. We need help! What other things are able to be sent (photocopied) in? We're terrified he won't be able to go :( We need advice! more

Open Question: What should I do? I'm confused about my relationship soon to be marriage. :(?

I am very confused about my relationship. I need some advices. I have been with my fiance for 1 months and we are official getting marry next week. Here's the story; I only dated him for 2 months, and within those 2 months there were so many dramas. Lets talk about him, he was married once, and his marriage failed due to that they both were young and wasn't ready, it lasted for an year and half. Ever since the divorce, he told me that he have change somewhat from it. Alright, lets just get to fact, the whole time I was dating him, he was cheating on me with two other girls. He claimed to me that they are the one who keep contacting him. I asked him to attend two special events with me, and he decline it and said that he had to attend some family's event. So I brushed it off my shoulder. Three day after I moved in with him, my best friend went through Facebook and saw his Facebook. He uploaded pictures of him and the other girl attending the same events that I asked him to go with me. I was so disappointed, I thought that I could of trust him. I didn't mention anything to him, when I moved in with him last month, he promised me that he threw all the things he had in past already. He said that now I am going to be a marry woman, he instantly want me to delete any Social Networking I have and anything I have about the past should be throw away. And no more connection with anyone who can ruin or stop our marriage. I kindly ask him why, I explain to him that the Social Networking is one of the way I can contact my family and friends. He was angry at me for disrespecting his rules. He also said that I am his soon to be wife, so from on I need his approve to do anything and need to follow his rules. I was pissed off, and just left the room to clam myself down. Two weeks ago, I found that the girl he was cheating with, was pregnant and he was super excited but somehow she abortion the baby without telling him. So he got angry at her, and explain to her that he was planning to marry her, why did she had to do that. Oh gosh I cry my heart out when I found out about it. I confronted him and he said that it was in the past so why am I mentioning about it. He "promised" to be faithful from now on and he swear by his name that he not hurt me anymore and I am the only one he love and want to spend his entire life with me. He said that he deeply love me so much that he chose to marry me and not the other girls. I am not going to lie, I saw some text messages and phone calls from the other girls and acted like nothing is wrong. My best friend was worried sick about me and I confess to her that I think he is still having contact with the other girls, and I saw one of the message from the girl, she said that Hun, I miss you and how are you doing, give me a call when you can. I was torn apart, and he walked in me reading it and he snatched the phone from me, and yelled angrily that I have no reason to go through his privacy and I need to stay out of his business. I was so torn and angry at the same time, and I just start saying everything, I was like you promised me not to keep contacts, you said you love, and why are you doing this to me huh. He didn't answer my question, he angrily said that he hate my attitude and guts, I need to stop being a bitch and I better change myself by the time we are officially together. Just do today, I went for a interview and I couldn't the job, he was disappointed at me, and demand me to find another one. I kindly explain to him that his town have no job for me, and we just need to move to the city after the wedding. He angrily rise his voice that why am I always having a nasty attitude and he is so fed up with all my stupidness. He is just so sick of me and all the things I do. I was going to blow out, and I raised my voice and I was like I have always been like this, what do you expect from me. He angrily said that I need shut up and listen to him cause how the way I am acting is nasty and stupid. Oh gosh, he even have the guts to say that if we were only dating, he would left me already. I was so heart broken, I just sat there like a dumbass. I couldn't run away cause I don't have my car with me, its back at home. Right now this moment I am confused and stupidly still deeply love and cherish him after all these dramas. I'm not sure of myself about leaving him cause I know I will fall right back for him all over again. I need help and advice before it is too late for me to turn back and change my mind about this marriage. I have a confession, my whole family and friends disapprove of him, due to that fact he's divorce, and he cheated on him more than twice. They have been trying to convince me to stop this marriage before its to late and right now I am in stuck in the middle. I am grateful to have all these wonderful people helping me and standing by side. I Pray to God that He Will Help and Guide Me to the Right Path and Choice of Life, and Heal this Broken Heart of Mine. more

Open Question: This question is for Christians who hear God's voice...?

about 4 years ago... I rebelled against God because he told me that the sacrifices I had made to follow and believe in him were not enough for me to marry the man of my dreams... and I was angry because I felt like all the pain that I experienced was in vain... and that God did not care about my afflictions or trials at all... I felt underappreciated so I decided to reject Christianity completely... And then God said that with the prayers of others, and with proper guidance... he would grant me another chance to marry this man that I wanted to be with... he basically said that if I was pure and devoted to the Lord then I would be "aligned with (insert name here) again in marriage." This kind of implies... that we are not destined for each other... because I turned away from following and serving God doesn't it? And then I spent another 3 years asking God basicallly every single day to give me a chance to marry this man... and I finally began to understand the secrets of the kingdom of heaven and the mysteries of the tree of life... and how I could resurrect my faith with God after everything... Then I had a dream: READ THIS There were brides at a wedding... (which symbolizes marriage to the Lord and the wisdom of God) and we were each given chocolates (symbolizing romance and love) to satisfy our souls... but we were not supposed to open our chocolates until 1 week after the wedding... One of the brides... opened her chocolate 1 day after her wedding to the Lord... and she had to pay $1000 dollars for the choclates as opposed to the usualy $15.00 dollars that people pay... I believe the 6 remaining days after the wedding... symbolize 6 years of following God... that is yes God has a husband picked out for me... but I have to serve Him and follow him for 6 years before I marry the man of my dreams... This seems to imply... that since the brides were already given chocolate to eat... that this man is ALREADY reserved for me... I just have to serve and follow God... until the Lord thinks I'm mature enough to be his wife... However when I heard God's voice 3 years ago... the Lord seemed to imply that I was NOT destined for this man and that he was free to marry someone else... if he wanted somebody who was more spiritual than me... So what do you think? Is this man reserved for me? I don't want any other guy... I don't care if he has phd in medicine from harvard or if he is the most handsome human being on the face of this earth.... more

Open Question: This question is for Christians... how would you interpret this dream?

Open Question: Where would you wear these shoes to?! (PICS!)?

So I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE LOVE LOVE shoes! And a new-lover of the brand "Naughty Monkey" It's like a dream come true to find a shoe that fit's EXACTLY what I'm looking for! But the problem with that is, I don't know exactly where it is appropriate to wear such shoes! And I am NOT talking about those pointy heeled stiletto type shoes! These shoes have the square heel most of the times! But the shoes are SOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE that it's almost screaming "LOOK AT MY SHOES" Still I see these shoes going out of stock as we speak! But whenever I go outside, I still see people with those boring plain shoes! So where are these shoes being worn to?! These are only a few of the shoe example: http://www.heels.com/womens-shoes/little-ms-perfect-turquoise.html - it is OH SO CUTE!!! But look at it's fabric style! I don't think it's too appropriate to wear to work. And probably not suitable to wear at night, since it comes in BRIGHT yellow and blues (which are day time colors! ) http://www.whatapair.com/images/items/medium/NM-BETTIE-BLACK.gif - I've looked for this type of shoes probably... ALL MY LIFE?... but the problem with it is... again! it's TOO cute to wear to work! http://z.about.com/d/shoes/1/0/7/-/1/naughty_monkey_shoes.jpg - Just look at it!! Who could resist buying it?! (It's sold out! But to WHOM?! ) I don't see anybody wearing these shoes to anywhere except weddings or "fancy" lunches! http://z.about.com/d/shoes/1/0/X/u/color_blocked_shoes.jpg - The pink is too "HOT" for work, sadly!!! http://clothing-and-accessories.become.com/not-rated-womens-inked-pump-8-cream--compare-prices--sc898007717 - While this shoe can be worn under a suit (hiding the cuffs) It is still more than 4'' tall! Which is considered inappropriate in work-places! So, LADIES! WHERE are you wearing these to?!!?! I don't know if a shoe is worth it if you're just buying to wear to ONE wedding in a year!!! Specially these shoes! I want to wear them everyday!!! But I don't know where to: Uni - Out of the question! VERY "TRYING-HARD" and uncomfortable Night - (some of these shoes are "day" colors) Work - These are TOO cute for work (I think) Weekend shopping - TOO MUCH to wear to go buy groceries! So WHERE?! more

Open Question: Problem with boarding my dog for 2 weeks...Help!?

I worked for a pet store for 3 years of my life. I know the manger very well and consider aa jerk. We get along (meaning i am too nice for my own good) but he is an asshole. I asked him if he could take care of my dog (the dog I bought for him...which he riped me off) for 2 weeks. He said "we are like family...don't worry about it...all that...so I wasn't concerned. Recently I asked if this whole "we are like family, don't worry about it shit" means that it will be free to babysit my dog? No $200. The money isn't an issue, its insulting since I worked for him for so long. Now I want to forget I ever new him and board my dog at a local humane society. It will be $16/day and him will be left in a kennel for 2 weeks. This dog/puppy(10 months old) is used to 1 hour walks and me next to his side. It will kill him. I have four weeks to decide. Also, my family and I want to get another dog..we were officially thinking after the wedding, but if I could get another dog now, the two dogs could be friends and my puppy won't be alone in the kennel for 2 weeks. What do you think should I suck up my pride and give my dog to the shithead or leave him at the humane society? Keep in mind I really hate this guy, my puppy is dependent on company, and I have know one I trust to take care of him. HELP!!! more

Open Question: There's a spirit in my room which doesn't let me sleep...?

I am 25 year old man of Indian origin. i am Hindu by birth and a College topper in my BBA course. I first experienced paranormal thing while still in a Boarding School 130 kms from my home. I saw a dream about a very very powerful spirit of an old women in a room of my previous house. She was so frightning and powerful that she could engulf anyone going near that room into her. We shifted to -our own new house when i was 15 and then i dreamt again of 3 women in Red Sari (Newely wed) hovering in mid-air in my brothers room. After 2 years i completed my studies and came back home. Was sleeping in my brothers room and had that dream again. I asked my mother was anything wrong with the room she said...'There are 3 women in this room (once a 7 yr old girl of my mom's sister told her) and i did not know that.. I was amazed. Then while studying for college where i stayed alone and was ill with TB. I left the it and came back home. From there on i could not sleep alone in my room. I had night tremors. Sleeping paralysis, almost every night. But for the first time 4 yrs. Back in the night while sleeping in my room i saw a wheatish hand tapping me to wake up...i saw his face....he was into his mid 40's and sported beard....he told me sleep on the ground...i want to sleep on this bed...next morning i woke up sleeping on ground...he wouldn't let me sleep on bed...he would scare me if did that....so i shifted my matress on my carpet floor...i slept there without any problem for about 1 year..then he told me to get out of the room and he said it belongs to him....i started sleeping on bed again ignoring him...i also had an aquarium in my room of whose fishes went dead same night....next day i had a terrible sleeping paralysis attack and i went out in the living room to sleep on my couch...he followed me there also and wouldn't let me sleep....i could not sleep at nights for last 3 years...only sleeping for about 4-5 hrs in daytime. I do not worship. But belives in god. 3 months back one of my close relative got murdered and she came in my dream revealing the sequence of events lead to her death and she asked me to help her and she told me that she will take care of the evil spirit in my room...since then i sleep in my room on my bed without any problem...Until last night a small boy of age 13 (pale white) came in my dreams again and accused my dead relative for causing his death by burning....he wept and told his story that how my dead relative killed him and made to appear like an accident....i felt anger towards her and cursed her in my dreams that she deserved to get murdered for doing this to an innocent boy...as soon as i did that...the boy started laughing and showed his real self of that 40 plus wheating bearded evil spirit... This is not a story but my real life.... I was petrified again and want some help... I am also having very very negative and depressive thoughts...what to do? more

Open Question: Why do people go to the wedding reception?

Im getting married here soon and I have been trying to figure out food ideas for the wedding reception. Its not going to be a big wedding prob only about 125 guests and im on a budget with money. I have had a few ideas but im still not sure. I know most of the people that come to the wedding prob wont stay for the reception (we are not having alcoholic drinks) so i was thinking: 1. Pizza from a really great pizza place for everyone and also the traditional veggie and fruit plates 2. Finger foods, little sandwiches, chips and dip....stuff like that 3. Meat balls, little sausages, cheese crackers, fruit, veggie plates, punch....stuff like that but then another idea was to not have a reception for everyone and just have the wedding party go out for a nice dinner after the wedding ceremony and after a few weeks of getting settled into my new home and with my new family we would have a cook out at a local park thats really nice and have hamburgers and hot dogs....just like a regular cook out.....we live in Georgia by the way!!! 2 kids from previouse relationshiops mine is 14 months old and his is 9 years old!!! Another reason why money is tight!!!! IDEAS PLEASEall of the 125 guests are strickly family! I have a very big family of 5 brothers and sisters plus 5 additional step sisters and brother! We are having it in our church and the reception would take place in our fellowship hall at the church. So that part is not going to be very expensive. I already have my dress and bridesmaid dress. Cake is taken care of by family memeber, flowers are done by a co-worker, decoration is being done by womens church group! I just dont want to pay 5 or 6 hundred dollars for food. more

Voting Question: missed birth control ?'s ..?

i've read my pamplet over and over, but i am still questioning a few things here .. so forgive me ladies :] i was supposed to begin a new pack of pills on weds (today is sunday). i got caught up with my work scheduled, missed weds & thurs, remember fridays pill, and forgot saturdays. all in all, 3 pills missed within the 1st week of the new pack. during those 3 missed pills, my fiance and i had unprotected sex 3-4x. ive been on BCP for a lil over a year now. when you miss pills, do you ovulate right away so pregnancy chances are higher? i know its WAY too early to test. just wanted to hear everyones stories. if i am preggers, i'd be okay .. i have a wonderful fiance who i know will be just as happy (after he gets over the initial shock lol). if not, i know how to better remember my pills. thanks girls. :] more

Resolved Question: new to the army - any info/advice about duty stations?

sorry to ask again, but my husband is in week 2 of a 7 week AIT. i've learned nothing is definite with the army, so i know there's no ACTUAL answer to most of my questions, but i figured i'd try here. so here's what's on my mind.... 1. about when will we find out where his 1st duty station will be and how? 2. because of the weather, his AIT started one week late. we planned our wedding (we're already married) in the 10 days that he's home before he has to be there, and it was right in the middle. now he graduates the day before the wedding. it's beyond too late to change the date, and i realize now it was stupid to plan a wedding like that, but nothing we can do about it now. will he be able to come home right after graduation that day? 3. how does housing work? will we know before we go what kind of place we'll be living in? 4. we have a 2 year old boy, and plan on having another child soonish. i make decent money, and we won't be having more until i'm settled in a job as well, so if we need to have a place off post for a bit we'll be fine. (i got a nasty response about having more kids right now before..... so just needed to clarify) but if we have another child, will we get more space eventually if we're on post? [right now my husband is a pv2] 5. how does the whole moving thing work out? from what i've read, it seems wonderful, but i dunno how accurate that actually is. any other pieces of advice would be greatly appreciated!! i'm getting nervous haha more

Voting Question: Wedding / timing / isn't this rude?

My brothers wedding in the middle of May, humid hot weather, church at 2:00PM and wedding reception 7:00PM. The wedding(church) will take 1 hour maximum - until 3:00PM. From 3PM to 7 PM the guests will have to wait somewhere, wherever they want to, for 4 hours since the reception doors open at 7PM. Why 7PM? Because the wife with her wedding dress wants to go somewhere with her husband to have some photos... Does it take 4 hours to take some photos? Or is it a must for her to ....... with him right away? Guests coming from all over the states and having to wait for 4 hours.. the couples said, "Let them stay in a hotel for 4 hours until we arrive." Are they doing the right thing? They had been together since college, for 5 years now. Tell me how you feel about this situation. more

Resolved Question: HELP I can't cope with my husband's sister!!!!?

My husband's sister hated me from day 1. When we were going out, she was unnecessarily rude and obnoxious with me for years. After marriage, she decides to get married in less than 3 months after we got wed just to take the attention off us. We ignored this, now I am 8.5months pregnant and she has done it again, she announced she was pregnant yesterday just to take the shine off our little baby. I am so hurt by the way she continuously seeks attention from all our family members..........should I drop sarcastic comments, drop to her level just to get some short term satisfaction? I just don't know what to do anymore. My husband agrees with me and does support me - should this be enough? more

Voting Question: Can anyone suggest any wedding ceremony readings about FAMILY?

My fiance and I are getting married in September, and I am looking for any non-religious readings from books, poems, etc. that my sister can read at our ceremony. We don't need anything that says stuff about "starting out life together" or anything to the effect that our life starts when we get married. We would like something about family because we have been together for 5 years, we have an 18 month old son, live together and have pretty much a married life already, Anything that would incorporate our son (or children in general) as our little guy will be too young at the ceremony and anything that would just reinforce why we are doing this: which is (1) we love each other (2) our little family and (3) formalities =). Thank you kindly! more

Resolved Question: Please tell me what you would do in my situation.. honestly!?

I am telling you this story as I PERCIEVE IT to be (it doesn't neccessarily mean it is how it IS!). I left Uni in 2008. I am 24. Since leaving Uni, I have found it increasingly difficult to make any friends. I am just not that socialy productive. I am basically the type that sits back and listens, rather than speaks out and forces my way into social groups. Anyway, whilst at Uni I had what I thought a great many friends. I genuinely considered them to be my best and would have climbed hell and high water to make sure that they were alright. Prior to Uni, I had friends that I didn't particularly think much of (by the end of our friendship! - felt that they were backstabbers etc!) and so I felt that it was in the best interests of (a) myself and (b) my dignity to just let go of them. I told my Uni friends all about the situation and they agreed. Trouble is, since leaving Uni, my Uni friends have frankly been more than distant. I haven't spoken to my best friend in two years (so I highly doubt I can class her as that anymore). She didn't invite any of us to her wedding and my other mates scarecely know what i'm up to these days. I know a lot of you will see shit happens, but frankly this is a very unusual situation for one person to have been in twice and shit DOESN'T happen in this way or everyone would be writing this question. My friends come to me if there are problems and cry down the phone to me while I listen but apart from that they never contact me. In fairness, they live around the country but still, this should not prevent them from picking up the phone and saying hi. They know I have issues. I had to move back home after Uni as things didn't work out. They don't know this but I suffer from bouts of depression and they don't even know this. Nothing has worked out for me since Uni and because of my depression, I have contemplated suicide on numerous occassion (not that that has any bearing on what I have said) and nobody seems to care. (1) What would you do in my situation? (2) How does a fully grown adult make NEW friends in a SMALL village despite searching endlessly? I am at my whits end with them all and feel like deleting all of them out of my life. One of them asked for my advice on facebook TONIGHT and took offence by my response and signed off. more

Resolved Question: Need help narrowing down bridesmaids?

My little sister is 19 and getting married. She is stuck and needs help narrowing down her bridal party. She asked me my opinion and we decided to open it up to ask public opinion. I am 37 and she has invited me to be part of it, but I offered to step out, as I feel like I am a little old to be standing up there with the young chickens. Her two best girl friends (These must stay) Myself (Her old fart of a sister) Her 13 year old cousin My 17 year old daughter Her 3 other nieces, ages 17, 18, and 19 Her future sister-in-law (age 33) Her future sister-in-laws daughter (age 19) She realizes that a bridal party of 10 is quite a bit. What do you think? How many did you have on each side at your own weddings? I had four. She has also insisted that her 3 brothers (ages 16, 35, and 33) and best guy friend be part of the groomsmen. Any ideas for having "Honorary Bridesmaids" so the ladies she decides to cut still feel special? The flower girls are my 4-year-old daughter and her fiance's 5-year-old niece. The ringer bearer is my 1-year-old son (will be 2 before the wedding) accompanied by his 8-year-old cousin.Thanks for everyone's advice. I'll pick a best answer in a couple days when the question is closed. I feel I should mention that the groom has no brothers (only the sister) and said he would tailor his friends to match the amount of bridesmaids. He has lots of good friends to choose from, but only one "must stay" best friend, his best man. Out of the four groomsmen my sister has requested, two are in their 30s, one is 16, and one is 19. She is closest to her 16-year-old brother and her 19-year-old friend who has been there for her through thick and thin. If we have her two besties (ages 17 and 18), myself (37), and her future sister in law (33) as bridesmaids, and her fiance has her brother (16), her best friend (19), his best friend (29), and one more of his friends, is that fair? Will that look weird or unbalanced? more

Resolved Question: how long does it take for a man to go thru a midlife crisis?

My 24th wedding anniversary is 1 week away. My husband & I, don't look our age. He just moved my 6 year old daughter and I into a condo. Was here 4 days and left, with me with a dear john letter on the refrigerator. I wasn't unpacked, my daughter wasn't even re-enrolled in her new school yet..... I went online to check his call log (for the first time in our marriage, the day that he left) and found that he has been calling & she calling him, a women he works with at night. He said this 'woman' was just a friend. I've entertained her at my house many times. I never gave it any thought, because this woman is so NOT his type. She is very unattractive. But that is where he is living. He's been gone 2 weeks today. We had 24 HAPPY years. I've been totally blindsided. Our families and our friends are as devasted by it as I am. They all say the same thing... "It's as if there's been a death". I don't know if I could ever take him back, because of the hurt/betrayal and total devastation that I feel and he was the love my of my life. more

Voting Question: Can I lose heaps of weight in one week?

Ok so the deal is I have already lost about 42kg (multiply by 2.2 to convert to lbs - its a lot) in the past year. My wedding is 3 weeks away and I have my first dress fitting in 10 days. I said to the dress lady that I was going to lose 10kg between christmas and my wedding, but I have only lost 5. I dont feel that its enough to make me look significantly better in my dress, though I have no way of knowing because my dress is 1200km away and I cannot try it on or anything. I have already been taking Duromine 15 for 4 weeks now and have just started taking 2 per day (so 30mg). I know it will take away my appetite and I should be able to stick to my calorie allowance pretty easily but what about exercise? What exercises can I do that will be the most beneficial to lose belly flab and tone my back and arms? Is it possible for one week of this and maybe some kind of 'clean' eating to have a real effect on my body? I cannot follow on with the exercise after 1 week because that is when myself and my 2 kids are going to stay with the in-laws-to-be 2 weeks prior to the wedding so that I can sort out the remaining details. My fiance usually looks after the kids while I either go to a gym class, a walk, a swim or run on the treadmill. I wont have my gym, my weights or my treadmill at his parents house and I don't want to burden them with babysitting : ( Help! I hate that I am going to be a fat bride, skinnier than I was by far, but still not happy enough! more

My 15 year old daughter was taken from school on Wed. by her biological father who hs not seen her since she was 5 months. (he has had no contact at all.) I contacted the correct authorities, DCF and 911. A statemnt was taken from the officer and DCF hs not responded as of yet. yesterday at 4:30 pm a detctive called me and said that he was off for the day but her would like for me to call him tomorrow(today) He came to the house an hour later than the scheduled time and when he got here he was very nonchallant about everything and very rude. No compassion at all. He told me that my daughter is not considered to be a kidnapped child she is jus a run away. There is no way he can issue an Amber alert for her because she "probably" went on her own free will. Isn't there a such thing as a Parental Abduction. I mean this man has no custody of my daughter what so ever. What is the next step i need to take at this point. Yeah she maybe with this man but who is to say 1) she is there. 2) if she is with him how can we be sure he isn't a molester 3) who is to say she is with him and that she isn't laying in a ditch somewhere.

Open Question: CA School & District denying Independent studies ("I.S") to my children for my destination Wedding?

I have 2 kids in CA Elementary, and 1 in CA Middle School. I planned on taking them on vacation for my destination wedding 12 school days out. They said written proposal for I.S must be presented within 2 months prior to travel dates. So now that I present the written proposal for I.S its denied by schools. They are saying it will be unexcused and my child may flunk this grade since he is on retention watch. School gave me a verbal approval at beginning of year and in November and now since STARS testing is suddenly scheduled on the same dates of our travel school/district are denying independent studies. I understand about STARS Testing but they aren't trying to work with me at all with respect that they "verbally pre-approved" this. Will I get in trouble if I continue to take them out? The travel arrangments I made have been fully paid for and are charging a 50% refund or for change fee. This seems like a total loose situation for me, I am so crushed. Not to mention my family is in trouble with travel arrangments too. So my family and I will all loose out on a lot of money. The thing I need help with is justifying this with district somehow. I still plan on taking my kids out and they are denying independent studies. Can I fight for the independent studies? The travel arrangements are not lenient on this situation and full refunds are not an option. My wedding package will be not refunded either. Wedding took me a year and a half to plan and right now there is nothing in my favor to work with. Help please even with a piece of advise for any of these items. Any knowledge, don't want to get in troubleOh yes, no one is able to do the daily school routine for my kids while my family and I are traveling. more

Resolved Question: What do I do? He went back to his wife after being separated for two years...?

what do I do I am so confused. They had a wedding but never filed for the marriage license so technically they arent married, but they do have two kids and they have been together for ten years. I met him when they were broken up for two years and she was in a relationship and lived with someone else. So I thought he was single and they had no plans to get back together so I continued to see him. Well there were no problems in our relationship and everything was going fine but not with his ex, She broke up with the guy she was with... After being with him for 1.5 years he just disappeared out of my life for a month. I figured he got back with his childrens mother, and living together because he got evicted out of his apartment and was paying a lot for child support. He started talking to me and about our past and I did meet him for lunch and we had sex. I never asked about his current situation though, I just wanted to see him. But what Im thinking is that he is back with her and just wants to keep me at the same time more

Resolved Question: I need help with some wedding etiquette, my wife wants to invite her sister to my roommate in colleges wedding?

I don't think this is a good idea, because we are already bringing a 1 year old baby and the 2 of us and we only confirmed for the three of us. She wants to call my friend and see if her sister can go even though she doesn't know anyone at the wedding. I don't want to be mean or anything, but I just think it is rude. I don't want to put my friend in the position to say no she can't go, even though I am pretty sure he wouldn't want her to go. The other option is that maybe her sister if she really wanted to could just come to the ceremony and then not come to the reception. I am more ok with that, but it still just seems weird to me. I am pretty sure I am going to put my foot down on the reception, should I also put my foot down on the ceremony or just let it go? more

Resolved Question: Was is wrong of my boyfriend to ask this of me?

Me and my boyfriend have been together for about a year. I have a birthmark that is about 4 inches long by 1 1/2inches wide near my right upper hip/upper thigh area. It has hair growing out of it. My boyfriend wants to become engaged to me within the next year. He asked me if I would mind having my birthmark removed before we get married. He explained that the reason for this is he doesn't want to risk cringing when he sees it for the first time on our wedding night (we are both saving ourselves for marriage). Because he knows that would greatly hurt my feelings if we were about to have our honey moon and it was our first time and he saw it and had a weird look on his face. So I can see where he's coming from I guess...?? Did I mention it has alot of hair growing out of it. It looks really weird. My boyfriend said that it's up to me and if I don't want it removed he will just deal with it. I was already thinking about having it removed anyway but I was a little hurt when he asked. He said he would do the same for me if he had the birthmark. I told him that I will show it to him before we get engaged to take away the shock value.

my friend graduated highschool at 18 sat at home for 1 year until she turned 19 then her rich boyfriend of 7 months invited her to move in with him permanently she accepted i am from new york-she moved to LA because thats where he is from originally/his family is there but all her family and friends are in new york all she does in her apartment is play video games and surf the internet and watch movies and buy lots of new clothes and accessories because her boyfriend keeps giving her money now she is 24 years old and she still doesnt do anything but play video games, surf the internet and watch movies and buy stuff and has no job and doesnt want to go to college i asked her what she is going to do with her life kindly and her reply was "the same thing im doing now. i like it this way" i work full time 6 out of 7 days a week and i work part time as a freelancer graphic designer for wedding invitations, photo corrections and more so i do projects like that 3 out of 7 days a week that can take me up to 10 hours to complete after i get home from my full time job. i own my apartment and live in it myself and i am 26 years old. i have a boyfriend but he is broke and i am not doing amazing either and he lives 2 hours away (i met him at a party when i was 19). i asked my friend if she will ever marry him and she says probably not because he isnt her type I GOT pissed. is this normal?thank you for answers!!! more

I am 17 almost 18. My sister was 20 when she died I can't bug my parents for advice. They are also pastors of our church. My sister who was 20 died. In her will it states that if anything happens to her. That she wants me to get the kids. I am turing 18 in 2 days. My parents have temp custody until i am 18. but i have been taking care of the 2 little ones by myself. There is a social worker checking up once a week. She is surprise how well i am doing. My fiance thinks it is so sweet i am taking care of my nieces and becoming there parent.and adopting them Is it ok for the 4.5 year old to sleep in my bed? She does not want to sleep anywhere else.

Voting Question: Are these good ideas for our 1st year wedding anniversary?

I am gonna buy a glass jar and fill it with 365 I love you's......the things i love about my hubby etc. And then I am gonna make him a book that starts with once upon a time and then begins before we met,moves onto when we met,when we started dating,then when he asked me to marry him,then when we married and when we had our baby then at the end happily ever after. So its basically a story about our lives. Do these sound like cute ideas? The book is just gonna be written on the computer and printed off and stapled togetherI think we are just going to the casino,lolYeah sounds like a great idea jenny lynn but i dont want to spend that much money more

Resolved Question: Do you think that this would be too much time for a child to spend with her father?

My 4 year old step daughter has never spent more than 2 nights with us. She didn't get to meet her father until about 6 months ago and she's only been spending nights with us for about 4 months. She spends every Wednesday night and every other weekend currently. This year her father is entitled to spring break. We checked out the spring break schedule for the school district in which her mother resides. With my husband's Wednesday overnight visit we'll have her from 3 on Wed 3/31 until 7 on Sun 4/11. She'll have a brief 3 hour visit with her mom on Thurs 4/1 between the time that the Wednesday/Thursday visit ends at 3 until spring break time begins at 6. That will be 11 straight nights with us and nearly 12 days. She's adjusted really well to us and particularly me. She always asks me to be the one to come get her. She is glued to my hip when she's here. She is very snuggly with me. She calls me her best friend. I know that she enjoys being here, but I'm still not mommy. She is allowed to talk to her mom at any point, but do you think that we should schedule a visit with her mom to break up the time? We don't really want to because we feel that we can handle taking care of her. My husband really wants a chance to bond with his daughter without his ex constantly undermining his efforts. We're thinking that she may have a meltdown about the 3rd or 4th day, but that if she cries then my husband will be able to comfort her and make a stronger bond with her by being there for her when she needs comfort (If that makes any sense) I guess just give me advice with one goal in mind: creating a strong father daughter bond without emotionally hurting the child. He's never gotten the chance to show her that she can depend on him. She is too little to understand mommy keeping daddy away. She needs concrete evidence that he will be there for her no matter what she needs. (And I plan to be "conveniently busy" if she has these meltdowns with the hopes that she will turn to daddy instead of me) more

Resolved Question: is it stress thats making my period late?
