My best friend is obsessed with her boyfriend?

Ok, so my lil group of friends have a problem. One of our best frriends is 26. ( we are all in the 23-27 range). This friend of ours has a bit of a boyfriend issue. At first they were obsessed over each other, she always had a blue tooth headset in her ear,and her web cam was constantly on when she was at home. Even when we used to go out together ( just us girls), he was always on in her ear ( via the headset).. and 1/2 the times we never realized, till she told us eventually. This is getting ridiculous. He recently told her that she needs to stop this because he is messing up his school work ( even tho he was equally as bad before). He hates it when she talks to other guys, even though they are friends ( but she secretly does see them, which i dont see is wrong , because its stupid for him to stop her in the first place). And obviously, she hates it when he sees other girls. She has very low self esteem , and always feels the need to know where he is at , at all times.

I know this is a long and boring story. But please bear with me. When she cant reach him by phone , she calls one of us to check whether he is online or not. She says that he is ‘the one’ for her. But how can a relationship turn life-long if there is no trust? She is obsessed over him, i believe is because she doesnt think she will ever find someone else, ever.

So, question lies, as friends, waht do we do? I mean , we have tried all the cliches in the book.. ur beautiful, smart talented, u can find anyone u want.. bla bla blah. When we hang out together, her mind is somwehre else. She sits up all night, if he doesnt call to say goodnight. Its getting a little out of hand. We get pissed off and then dont know what to do.

Please help.
Ok when i said that she sees ‘other guys’.. we dont know what to think. We have come to a conclusion that she likes the attention, and her low self esteem kinda causes her to go adrift sometimes ( despite her bf telling her not to b friends with other guys) because she enjoys the attention ( like any girl would).

I really think its her low self esteem that is causing her downfall. I wish I could do soemthing. How do you help someone realize how great they are as a person?

Can you help me solve my dead relationship with my wife?

I’m going to start off saying this is a very unique situation I’m in – For starters, my wife’s the bread winner of the family and I take care of the kids, chores, and the house. Also, we met on VERY sexual terms but after our first child, it died (like a rock). We met and we were very much identical in hobbies and personality and now (9 years later), we are very much opposites but we still get along (for the most part).

I think my issue is this my wife is a very self absorbed, independent, self sufficient woman. When she gets off work, she has a clear idea on what she wants to do with her day. This would be all fine and dandy but her clear idea doesn’t include me and often doesn’t include my kids. She has several hobbies she attends to but as of late she’s been reading vampire romance/mystery novels (Sookie Stackhouse and others alike) and she’s a HUGE facebook gossiper. She’ll get off work, go catch up with her girlfriends and family (all 230 of them) and then she’ll put her nose in her book. This has been going on for a few months and has varied a little bit with watching movies/shows with me and the kids but for the most part this is how it’s been…

A big part of any man’s life (stay at home dad or not) is their sex life… My sex life has been dead for 9 years like I said, during this time I’ve been keeping myself from cheating by watching porn and masturbating (if it weren’t for this, I would probably of been deprived and found it some where else). I’m not trying to portray that it never happened because on special days like my birthday or Father’s day or days that she’s ACTUALLY in the mood (rare) we’ll have sex but let’s just say I got through 3 to 4 months of nothing before she’ll pay attention to me… Now I’ve tried to make moves on her, I HAVE TRIED TO ROMANCE HER, I’ve tried eliminating her options by getting rid of the internet, I’ve tried leaving her alone, I’ve tried a lot of things… What could be her issue?!?!? As of the beginning of June, I quit watching porn and masturbating and I told her that the 9 years has got to come to an end. She didn’t have a response but she understands that it’s in her best interest to keep me satisfied if she wants me around. Well here it’s June 26 and we’ve had a sexual act like 3 times (and once was because it was Father’s Day)…

As far as spending quality time together (non-sexual), it’s not like we don’t have time, and it’s not like we’re fighting, she just won’t “make time” for me… She’d rather be on Facebook, read books, do arts/crafts, watch movies/shows, play games on the internet, sleep, or go out with her girlfriends then spend normal or sexual time with me.

I try NOT to be whiny and I try NOT to complain but when something like this goes on for this long, it’s frustrating and I’m sure you all understand that I feel trapped. I mean, we were very close and very sexual when we met, it went down hill over 9 years but that doesn’t mean you can’t rebuild things and she’s not even trying!!! If I were a woman and she was the husband, would you allow this behavior???

Lastly, she’s been tested for depression and she doesn’t have it so unless she has a personality disorder, she’s not having any health issues to prevent spending time with her husband… As a matter of fact, since all she has to do is work 40 hours a week and not lift a finger at home, I’d venture to say that *I* should be the one that doesn’t want sex since I’m all stressed out!!!!!!!!!

HELP?!?!?!

Unrequited love / Attachment self help?

Hi there,

I have this problem… I tend to fall for unavailable (to me) people. Right now, a friend who I get close to and whom I honestly believed liked me back, only to find out he didn’t… Got really messed up about it, and slightly attached, trying too hard, etc…

Reasons why I am this way… I was abused as a teen, my parents were never there, still aren’t, and my best friend died. I know this… No need to over think it. I am not in desperate need for a relationship, I am not in any way lonely, I have friends… However when it comes to love… I’ve yet to ever deeply honestly get it back.

I can’t afford to see anyone at the moment, so I was wandering if anyone had any recommendations, books, stuff like that… Practical things that may help me, stop this behaviour… I don’t think I’m strong enough to go through this again, I need a way to spot the signs and stop.

Any options out there?

Thanks. x

Will therapy help? Or Hypnotherapy?

I have been struggling with my weight most of my adult life. (I was chubby when I was 12 but lost the weight in High School)..I am now 26 years old. I cannot stick to a diet. I have tried Atkins, weight watchers, weigh less, south beach, crash diets, abs diet, slimming drugs, herbalife, usn, and a lot more.

So before you judge me and think I’m useless and I eat myself into a stupor..i don’t. I am very conscious of what I eat all the time. ALL THE TIME…I eat take aways occasionally yes, and then I feel so guilty after that I’m tempted to do the one thing I have NOT tried yet and that’s putting my finger down my throat. I exercise..4 days a week. But I hate it. I’ve read self help books and I had my thyroid tested (all fine). I read up about exercising and dieting a lot so i KNOW im doing it right. So why is nothing working? I am not THAT much overweight.

I’ve posted questions on my page you can go check about weight loss and I can certainly give other ppl advice when it comes to dieting and exercising. I can count calories (but no one wants to live like that) it’s depressing. Last year I came across a book called the Gabriel Method. I read it and I was in awe..if only it was so simple as to read a book and just magically get inspired. I totally agree with everything Jon Gabriel says in his book..but he also touches on a lot of emotional stuff. I know I have baggage, and some of those issues may be the cause of why my body wants to be fat and maybe for some reason feel safer to be fat..but i have no idea how to do this soul searching and pinpointing the exact issue/s causing me to feel about myself the way I do. I hate the way I look. I am in a very loving relationship, getting married in 6 months and I’m afraid that someday my obsessiveness about my weight might drive the people closest to me away..I know it can get annoying to listen to someone whine about their weight all day long.

Would a psychologist be able to help me find these issues? Cz I have no idea where to start looking. Most of these ppl on the gabriel method talk about their own successes and how in the beginning they struggled and then after doing some soul searching and pin pointing child hood issues or even adult issues and dealing with it, the weight just started dropping off..and they kept it off for years now. So how do I know when I found the issue? and then how do i deal with it? Some of the gabriel method’s support group says that one should look back at when you started gaining weight and figure out what happened to cause it, what was my life like..and honestly i cant remember..I really cant. the only thing I know is I lost 15kg’s when my fiance was overseas for work 2 years ago (lost it in 4 months because I couldnt eat, I was majorly depro because he was away) and after he got back, I just started gaining again and i don’t know why. Sure my eating habits fluctuated but when he was away I still ate, I just didn’t have a big appetite. I still don’t but back then it was bad..I ate maybe once a day. Drank a smoothie in the morning and skipped lunch and then ate dinner, usually something ridiculous like a slice of toast. when the weight started dropping I started thinking maybe this is the perfect opportunity to lose weight and surprise my fiance..(not that he EVER told me I should lose weight, I was heavier than I am now when we met and fell inlove with me like that)..but i wanted to look good and feel good and so I made the best of my depression and threw in some Tae bo 5 days a week and actually ended up enjoying it. Now I hate exercise. Dont know why..i just do.

But I still force myself to go to gym 4 days a week and nothing seems to be working. I really don’t eat a lot so I am starting to wonder if my weight issues and my self esteem issues are connected to some emotional trauma or incident. I can’t figure out why and I’m starting to lose it. I really am. The other day my mother-in-law-to be tagged me in a photo on Facebook and the way the picture was taken I looked pregnant! I hate the way I look..And trust me I’ve tried to be positive and motivating myself…but it never lasts i’m getting married in 6 months and I want to look good for my wedding SO badly. Please if ANYONE has some advice or if someone can tell me if a psychologist will be able to help me or maybe a hypnotherapist? i am truly at my wits end

How can I cure my relationship problems?

Hi, I am what you might call a loner. Ever since the end of my sophomore year of high school, I have (voluntarily) had no friends. Since then, I have become somewhat of a social recluse. I go see movies by myself, play racquetball against myself, practice basketball alone, read a lot, watch a lot of history channel, and do pretty much everything in solitude.

I am now 23 years old, living alone, and working on my astronomy degree (masters). I have never pursued a romantic relationship and do not plan on doing so. I enjoy being alone for the most part. I have never been a people person. More the opposite, as you could have well guessed. It’s not that I lack the ability to socialize with other people, it’s just that it discomforts me a great deal. I find that I have nothing in common with ordinary people.

Unfortunately, sometimes I may see an attractive girl walking down the road or overhear a conversation I’d like to partake in, but this does not fit into how I’ve conditioned myself to behave. I have trained myself to be resolute in my restraint of social interaction. So it is only natural that these yearnings to be apart of society would trouble me. I’d really prefer not to lose any sleep over this though.

Does anyone have any tips for me on way to go about removing my persistent desires for “belonging.” I realize that humans, by nature, are a social species, and this may be harder than it sounds. Any help would be appreciated.

Cure for relationship winter blues?

It’s half term and im away on valentines. I called my bf this evening and asked if we could meet. Stuff’s been pretty crap between us recently (not like arguing or anything, just not much contact) but i recon it’s just a phase. We didn’t talk much… Neither of us said anything about valentines. We’ll probably meet next weekend and go iceskating or something. We usually get on really well with sparks flying but I always let my bad winter blues get in the way of our happiness. I want to re-ignite the spark but I’m not sure how and valentine’s seems to make it worse coz it just adds pressure. Any suggestions?

is this the cure for relationship insecurity?

ok, they always say “insecurity” and “low self-esteem” is the root of all jealousy. so work on your self-esteem, right? but surely it is unreasonable to believe that you are the BEST lover your partner could ever have, and that your partner could NEVER leave you, and that you are THE MOST attractive person around… B***S*** i say!
everyone has to live with the RISK of being rejected, and the knowledge that we are not perfect, there are always going to be other people around who your partner could run off with.
so, what do we do? how do you improve your own sense of “security” , and your self esteem. surely this does not mean we should create a DELUSION that we will never be rejected or upstaged by another?

This is for an relationship expert. But how do get someone to fall in love with you all over again?

Here is the situation, I fell madly in love with this guy and I went to friend for advice about our relationship. But she completely to told him everything that I told her.( I don’t know why she did it, but she did.) Now we are over and now he is telling me that I hurt him so bad because he was in love with me and now he doesn’t know if he can trust me. Now I am in a rut, I want my baby back and work things out but he doesn’t and want to move back home. which is two states away from where I am at. What should I do? Let him move away and be happy or should I make this work and keep telling him all of the good times we shared. I would truly appreciate it if you guys can help me in this situation. Cause I am out of ideas and I want the love of my life back!!!!!!!!! Thanks
Thank you guys so much for the helpful advice. I did speak with a few times and we came to the conclusion that we will stay as friends and he forgives me. Even though I am still in love with him. I will repsect his choice and I hope that one day he will realize that our relationship can come over this. If you guys would like to be my advisors. please Email me @ Oryanfan03@yahoo.com I check it everyday.Once again, thank you for your opinions and advice.

Girlfriend troubles long distance relationship?

So my girlfriend and I are currently in a long distance relationship we’ve been dating for 10 months and 2 of them have been long distance. Things were decent up until like 3 weeks ago when i said that she was over reacting about some things going on and said that she needed to calm down and stop being dumb. She got very very upset and said i was inconsiderate and that she can’t trust me anymore. We eventually worked things out but i guess she still wasn’t trusting me. Then recently her grandfather died, and she was stressing over homework and the funeral and i told her that she just needed to calm down and she can’t control the homework situation because it would have been there if her grandpa had died or not. She took it like i was saying so what that her grandpa died, which i totally didn’t mean it to sound like that. Now she’s even more upset with me and says she really can’t trust me, she still wants to be together and i still do i really love her a lot and she loves me. But i have no idea what i can do to make her trust me again. I know i’m not a great listener and i’m trying to get better and i have gotten better but i still end up doing something that makes her mad at me. I don’t want to break up but it’s so hard being so far away to make things right, and when we’re together things are great, but it’s when i’m away at college that things start to get rough. any advice?

Me and my girlfriend are having troubles… relationship wise?

Me and my girlfriend have been dating for 6 months now… its a love at first sight kinda deal… we wer intimate all the time… staying up late together cudlying not arguing… then about 3 months down the road we started to argue intimacy was alot less… never cudlyd alot less affection… now its 6 months and intimacy is a myth.. cudlying rarely happens…

Now i KNOW she isnt cheating on me for a fact… so thats ruled out… i dont think its a physical attraction thing..

(note we also moved fast!. after the 2nd month she moved in after the 5th we wer engaged)

now theres like no sex.. barely any affection but shes always still talking about how she wants my kids.. move out with me make a life together.. i asked her about sex and why isnt it like we first started.. she says its because we argue to much. but i think i have a HIGH sex drive and she has a low 1… im so confused… i dont want to break up i love her so much its sometimes crazy! i would do anything for her..

Girlfriend troubles. Cycles of our relationship?

Long distance relationship girlfriend trouble and drifting apart. Please help!!!?

I’ve been in a high school long distance relationship for about the summer. We always texted everyday, skyped often, and seen each other about once every 2 weeks. But in the last 3 weeks I haven’t seen her and barely talked to her. I would send her a text and she wouldn’t respond half the time. When she did text me first or respond, her responses were short and she just wouldn’t respond back after a dozen or so texts. This isn’t like her at all. We used to text for hours on end everyday. And I asked her about making plans and she said she was busy and told me her schedule. I told her we could work it out and I could see her before or after what was going on. She said she’ll see and get back to me on that but never did. So currently I’m very confused and just want things back to way they were. I’m taking this as all red flags as drifting apart. But IDK cause I know she is really busy lately. My main question is what do I say to her and try to do to fix things. I just want the right words to say, cause I really think she doesn’t realize she is drifting away and making me feel like this.

What is wrong w me and relationships? men?

Ok so all my life i never had good luck w relationships, I don’t know why and I am tired of being lonely and single all my life. When I am outside, generally, men stare at me but rarely do they come up to talk to me. People tell me Im not ugly im beautiful blah blah if thats true then why can’t I get and keep a man? I’ve been trying really hard. Another thing is also I have high morals, meaning I am saving myself for the man I choose to spend the rest of my life with. I guess you could also say im insecure and have a fear of getting into a relationship. I am going to be 24 this year and I want babies before I turn 30. I want a man that is family oriented that will love me and make me happy and I promise I will do the same. I feel like I am running out of time as I am getting older. The women in my family all married and bore children in their 20s. I also have raging hormones. I mean I want sex don’t get me wrong but I also don’t want to be labeled a w***re and for religious reasons I am saving myself. Why can’t men understand that? I mean this guy I am talking to told me he needed to “taste me” I told him no that I had to be his wife in order for him to do that. I think it might have disappointed him and he might have lost interest or it might have made him want me more. He also wants me to move in w him and have his babies, hes older like 27. Whenever I ask men to give me a little bit of time, they seem to be too busy. So is it me , them, both? I was raised a Christian so I am trying to maintain myself that way and the man I am talking to says hes Christian too but wouldn’t he try to not be lustful if he truly is Christian? Im just so tired of being alone and single its painful and I hate it, I just want a good man that supports me….why are they so hard to find? Or do I have to make sacrifices if I want a man in general, such as my purity? help!!! thanks!!! ((
I forgot to mention that my father is not presently in my life, is that why I am feeling this need for a man in my life or does it have to do w the timing??? (men ask me but I cannot understand it myself)

are there true platonic relationships? MEN – Please help!?

I mean absolute friendships, between men and women. Legendary friendships – as women have with eachother…and as men have with eachother. Kind of a family feeling….where neither thinks of the other sexually because they are so close? I have alot of guy friends…and alot of female friends…and I love them all in the exact same way. NOTHING sexual about it. But lately (after several romantic relationships, and after a handful of old guy friends telling me they like me as more than a friend, and after a few conversations with male friends about the subject) it seems the general consensus from these men is that they don’t see friendships with women truly platonicly. The conversations with guys I’ve had have left me feeling suspicious of all men…that all they want or think about in ANY relationship with women is sex. This is terribly disappointing to me…as I value them each SO much as friends – I consider them family. I was hoping they loved me the same way – for the conversations we have, the fun we have, and for the things we do and build together…but I am questioning all of it now. Guys…please let me know – do you have women friends that you hold dear as friends and friends alone…and NEVER think of in a sexual way – just like you think of your male friends? THanks for the help!
I should have clarified and age…I am early 30′s (it is different when we’re younger.) Cab – thanks for your honesty..this is EXACTLY what I am getting from some of my male friends…you said it like they do anyway.

men ages 24+ PLEASE help me! would a guy ever bring up the word marriage without really intending to marry you

I have been off and on (mostly OFF) with this guy for 2 1/2 years. He has been dropping the word marriage (kind of randomly) for about 6 months now. I always just laugh it off. It’s because I really don’t know how serious he is about it. At this point, he knows he doesn’t have to dangle the marriage carrot in order for me to be interested in him or have sex with him. When we are together (which is rare by the way) he always mentions me marrying him. How do I know that he really means it, when otherwise we are not even in a committed relationship. Men, PLEASE help me. SHould I wait awhile for him, or start dating other men (I am currently not dating)

I am in a really confusing situation. I request help from the experts. Girls?

Okay this girl and I have been in an online relationship (I know it’s not a good idea) for three months, but we just met on Facebook and started talking. We became online friends, and we eventually started getting interested in each other. She even sent me a letter telling me how she feels about me, and we suddenly had feelings for each other. We would talk 6-7 hours weekly (video call) and we could talk for hours and hours. Whenever I would leave the country for a vacation, she would always tell me not to forget her, and she said that she feels insecure. She asked me why I picked her over other girls, and I told her that other girls have wasted my time, and I don’t like using my energy for them. Unfortunately a few weeks ago, she found out that she was pregnant with her ex’s baby, and that she had been for 11 weeks. She decided that she was going to get an abortion. She then talked to me less, and I thought she had lost interest in me. After ignoring me for a week, she told me that she kept her distance from everyone, and not just me. She even cried on video call for no reason in front of me, and I think this has to do with hormones, but I’m not sure. When I told her that I would come visit her, she was excited and she started planning what we would do, each and every day. Shen then ignored me for a few days, and then I got a message from her:
“yayyy u bought your tickets. that was fast. I didn’t have have time for second thoughts. It’s cool. I’m excited.” Later on, I called her and this was the conversation.

Me: Do you really want me to visit you?
Her: I want you to but I don’t think I’m ready
Her: It’s not you. It’s my insecurities.
Her: My insecurities make me not want to see you YET.
Her: Since we have no other time, it’s cool.
Me: I’m sorry I’m such a burden in your life. I wish I could leave you alone.
Her: Don’t say that. Why are you always thinking negatives. The way I feel about you hasn’t changed at all. It’s just I don’t think I’m ready. I might still be pregnant and if not, I would have already had the surgery. Since we have no other time, it’s fine. I want to see you

That was the convo we had, but these days whenever I try to talk to her, she only responds sometimes because she’s ignoring everyone, and just watching movies. What’s up with that? Is it her hormones or has she lost interest? How do I get her to miss me and contact me? When we talked, she said things like:

“So when you come. When are you going to kiss me?” “We can hold hands everywhere except my neihbourhood. I know way too many people there, including my parents.” “Can you give me one of your sweaters? I want to wear it when I’m cold.”

*These are things she says, but she’s been talking to me less ever since her pregnancy. Is she still interested? NO I do not want to get out of this. If I feel like getting out of this situation, I will.

Also, she tells me to keep my skype on but she never contacts me like she did before her pregnancy. I usually have to contact her, and she doesn’t always respond. Should I keep it on, or should I sign out so she misses me later? Should I ignore her at this point, for a while? What should I do?

Poll: Marriage and relationship questions…?

3) Can marriage be fixed after some emotional abuse or domestice violence?

4) If your spouse cheated on you, even if it was only one time, what would you do? Beat him/her senseless, kick him/her out of the house, give your spouse a chance, or divorce him/her and ruin his/her reputation?

5) What are reasons for emotional abuse or domestic violence?

6) Can a marriage work better and easier with or without children?

Why do single people post their relationship questions in the “marriage & divorce” section routinely?

This section is flooded with how to deal with bf/gf situations.

Married couples have defined their relationship clearly when they took vows. This section is supposed to be to help those whom are experiencing difficulties in their marital relationships or divorced ones.

Living together,having children out of marriage, dating without commitment, promiscuity is not “married”. The legal aspects,entitlements, obligations, and responsibilities both personal and financial are different than for those who are single and dating no matter how long they have been together.

Single is not married. A break up is not a divorce.

Interested in your opinion even if they are different than my own. Thanks.
Thus far I have thoroughly appreciated all of your input and surprisingly agree with a couple of differing views. I have worked diligently and with much effort to have a successful marriage. To equate any relationship with one that has proven itself visa vie making the actual commitment that is allows both mates equitable and legal rights & responsibilities is far beyond merely the signing of a document. That document entitles myself to have consideration regarding emergency health issues, assets, etc…
To say that living together is the same as marriage is like saying babysitting is the same as raising a child. A parent equally has far more responsibility and accountability for the welfare of said child. This is not elitist. This is not a popular point of view. It is however the truth. Marriage of any length of time is a serious commitment that demonstrates that commitment. Failing to do the little thing falls a “little” short of marriage.

I have a marriage questions to ask all you couple and for a project just to let you know?

1.how did your relationship evolve ?
2.what or who helped you decide to commit to marriage . ?
3.did you take the marriage preparation course.did it help or not ?
4.what wisdom would you give young adults on how to prepare for commitment marriage relationship?

My girlfriend has a celebrity crush?

My GF and I have been together for 1 year and a half. We’re open to each other and stuff and in a long distance relationship.
But today, I saw her tumblr account and read some of her posts about a guy named Kolohe Andino and some other celeb guys.
I did not know about this. She posted there how much she loves Kolohe’s smile and how his smile makes her smile every time.
I also saw her post that she printed out a picture of him so she’ll smile every time she looks it.
I’m open to her about my celebrity crushes but I don’t do the things like she does.

My problem is, why does she have to hide this from me?
What should I do? It’s been bugging me for hours now.

– I dont have a tumblr account that’s why I just knew it today.

Why am i such an idiot… honestly i am so messed up right now!!!!?

sorry if this goes on forever… but i havnt been able to stop thinking about this for day!!!!!

basically, i am one of those people who likes to get involved in other peoples lives, my friend always come to me for help or advice with relationship problems and all that stuff, and i love it. But latley, a lot of my friends have been needing my help, so i havnt really been thinking about my self for a long time, but there is this guy in the grade below me, he is one of my best friends and i am always there for him because he has some issues. but on his tumblr someone asked him what the girl her likes is like and he said ‘ i dk, short, blonde, cute, funny, adorable.” and i know it is me because A) i am the only one in my grade and his that is short and blonde and B) because he has been flirting with me alot. like he is always complimenting me, giving me long hugs, grabbing my hips, holding my hang and when i sit he rubs my thighs, and the worst part is… is that i let him do it, i flirt back. i dont like him like that, but i want him to hold my hand and stuff, and if i try and stop flirting with him, then he will think that he did something wrong and wont talk to me. and a few days ago, i had to go to the art studio to get something, and he came with me, and we were just a lips distance apart and he was trying to get closer, but kissing him would just over complicate things. And even if i did like him, i wouldnt be able to face the harsh cougar comments that would come from my grade. i just dont know what to do, because there is also this guy in my grade that i like, and if he sees me flirting with the other one, he will think i like him too!!!! I am so lost, i never really put my self first, so not i am just going insane!!!!

Thank you to who ever read that… i applaud you

Can he be arrested for something? I’m so mad!!! He had no right to tell my mom about it!?

Before I start, I don’t know why I did this. I guess it was boredom/loneliness/obsession.

Two years ago when I was 13 I made a fake profile of an older girl (18) on a dating site and met a guy who I really liked and he really liked me. He was from where I live but was out of state for school and wouldn’t be back until summer so I thought it would give me a few months to experience a “relationship” with someone wonderful and I’d just break up with him when it came time for him to come home and nothing would ever happen bad because of it. He was 19.

We talked on the phone and I sent him a lot of pictures (I stole pictures of my older cousin off Facebook to show him) and when he would ask to skype or webcam, I would tell him my cam didn’t work and he believed me. I had my own cell phone so it didn’t seem suspicious. He would joke that I had a “sweet” voice which was really just a young voice but I didn’t tell him that. I am smart for my age about a lot of things so I was able to convince him that I was really an 18 year old high school senior. Well summer came and he found out that he was going away to training for the army all summer so I didn’t have to break up with him. The relationship lasted almost a year and then finally he broke up with me because he couldn’t do the long distance thing anymore. over that time we did a lot of things ranging from cybersex to me watching him get off on webcam. All of this while i was 13-14 years old and he was 19-20 but thinking I was only a year younger than him.

I’m fifteen now and I started thinking about him the other day and decided to check his facebook profile out and I saw that he’s now engaged to somebody. It made me jealous so I made a fake facebook profile using his picture to send messages to her friends asking them out on dates to try to cause problems but her friends figured out it wasn’t him and reported the profile to facebook. I got a message from facebook saying the profile had been reported and that my ip and “all related profiles” would be under investigation so I thought I could stop it by messaging him and apologizing for making the fake profile because I don’t want my real profile to be taken down or banned. He was mad about it and told his fiancee who messaged me to tell me how childish it was and that she was the one who reported the fake profile and it was out of her hands now but that she really hopes I learned my lesson. I told her that I didn’t want my real profile deleted ebcause my parents would ask why and I’d be in trouble. I wasn’t thinking. She asked then why it would matter to my parents if their 20 year old daughter’s profile disappeared and I admitted I’m only 15. She told him and somehow found my mom’s phone number and called her and told her everything because he is in the military and doesn’t want to be in trouble for what happened. My mom believed him and is mad at me and now I can’t go near a computer again for six months unless it’s for homework! They took all my messenger services off my computer and put a block on Facebook and Tumblr and I can only geto n this because they think I’m researching a project for school. This is unfair! He’s fine. I didn’t hurt him! Do I need my parents to consent to pressing charges for showing his body to a minor or something? He deserves to be punished too because he has no right to call my mom and dad about it!

Does this online guy like me?

We meet through Tumblr, he found my Facebook and added me and we instantly started talking, the conversations went on to get to know each other and we went on saying “you’re awesome” back and forth to each other to see who could keep it going on the longest, the first time he let me win but the second time i let him win. The he asked me what type of guys do i like, i told him a sense of humor and that’s it, he told me his type of girl was a cute, funny, girl who could get along with his friends then he told me that i fit the description, i told him the same for my description of the guys i like. He said the only problem is the distance between the both of us, he lives in Texas and I live in New York. He’s visiting for the winter break and his Facebook status said he would be in New York on the 19th. We Skype every weekend (Saturdays) and last Saturday we video chatted until 2 something in the morning, by the end of it we were nearly sleeping but yet we were still video chatting. We’re married on Facebook and we’re both very young (I’m 14 he’s 15).
I have large feelings for him but he isn’t bringing up anything of a relationship anymore, we talked once about sexual stuff but once we video chat the topic just goes away. I don’t know exactly what his intention are with me what do you think?
