<h2>I would like to know if Happiness is Pets sells puppy mill puppies?</h2>
<p>I&#8217;m not trying to start anything I just want to know. I would adopt but no one wants to adopt a small dog to a person with 3 kids under the age of 8.<br />
Um my kids are very well behave around dogs and cats we have a cat and they haven&#8217;t even done a thing to it. So don&#8221;t assume my kids are terror&#8217;s. They won&#8217;t even touch a dog unless i tell them it&#8217;s ok.<br />

<h2>Looking for my dog&#8217;s litter mates!Stonehenge Olde Bulldogs from Happiness is Pets in Arling. Heights, IL 3/05?</h2>
<p>The breeder <strong>is</strong> Steven Kruse and the litter was born on 1/22/05.  We purchased him on 3/23 of 05.  That day- he and another female were the only ones left.  She had a &#8220;sold&#8221; sign hanging around her neck and we came home with him.  Just thought it would be fun to see what each of them turned out like.  Also- similar medical probs???

<h2>Is it illegal for a pet store to sell a puppy from a breeder who is not licensed by the USDA?</h2>
<p>There <strong>is</strong> a pet store called &#8220;<strong>Happiness</strong> <strong>Is</strong> <strong>Pets</strong>&#8221; in Illinois that sells puppies from Puppy Mills and Unlicensed Breeders. I was curious, does anyone know if it <strong>is</strong> actually &#8220;illegal&#8221;?

<h2>Am I normal??? I am totally fixated on my pets and their wellbeing, their happiness and their amusement?</h2>
<p>What to get them as treats? What to do to keep them safe? or happy? Should I put music for them when I&#8217;m away? There are no bounderies&#8230; And the latest thing <strong>is</strong> the craziest: I was abroad for work and I had to call my dad who was taking care of them 3 times a day to ask on how they&#8217;re doing and see if they lack anything. I paid a couple hundred dollars to litteraly let them hear my voice on speakers and hear them make any noise at all&#8230; And when I came back, I didn&#8217;t thank my sister for picking me up or my dad for pet sitting them, all I could focus on was the little ones and their beautiful fur, ears, tails&#8230; At work, I can&#8217;t focus for more than an hour without talking to dad to check on them. Without feeling I miss them crazy. It&#8217;s scary I know, but I feel that all I need <strong>is</strong> my <strong>pets</strong>&#8216; love.</p>

<h3>Lukes Love Life answers:</h3>
<p class="dtm-content">Loving our pets is normal.  But you summed it up in your last line &#8220;I feel that all I need is my pets&#8217; love&#8221;. Really? What about friends and family?  Pets aren&#8217;t a substitute for human relationships.  If you were my friend or relative, I&#8217;d be a bit concerned about that last line.  Sounds like you&#8217;re filling a void.  As long as you are aware of that, you will be open to other people and experiences.</p>

<h2>Can You Help Me Interpret My Tarot Spread?</h2>
<p>I asked a ? about my ex that is <strong>with</strong> someone else, basically if we have a chance. I used a regular playing card deck. I did a Celtic cross. </p>
<p>1 I used the Queen of Hearts to represent me and I placed the the King of Sword next to me to represent him (my ex)<br />
2. The 3 of Hearts landed on top of us.<br />
There are so many ways to interpret 3-6<br />
Next to the King (Him) on the right, I got the (High) Joker as the World. (I also have the low joker as the Fool but it didn&#8217;t come up)<br />
underneath us is the 10 of clubs<br />
on my left hand side is the 3 of diamond.<br />
above us is the jack of spade.<br />
7. The 6 of Spade, 8. The 6 of Diamond, 9 The Queen of Spade (the woman he&#8217;s <strong>with</strong>)<br />
10. The 5 of hearts. </p>
<p>Now if the 5 of Hearts means Sorrow, relationship <strong>breakdown</strong>. Is this referring to me the idea of him coming back to me or does it refer to her meaning that they will break up? Since he and I got the 3 of Hearts?<br />
If you don&#8217;t know anything pertaining to this question, MIND YOUR BUSINESS!!! Thank you! I have NO problem getting a man! If I have a thought in the back of my mind that I may want answered all I am doing is simply asking! Mind ya business! If you don&#8217;t know about tarot I am NOT asking for your ADVICE!</p>

<h3>Lukes Love Life answers:</h3>
<p class="dtm-content">Rather than try to interpret a spread you did with a regular deck of cards (the Majors aren&#8217;t represented) if you like I&#8217;ll do a reading for you.  It won&#8217;t be a Celtic Cross, just a 3-card spread but it should give you some insight.  You can edit your question or send me an email. Can you tell me your astrological sign or favorite number?  It helps me to key in.</p>

<h2>Do you think that sometimes little children often give the best advice?</h2>
<p>They keep it so simple.</p>
<p>A &#8220;straight talking&#8221; schoolgirl has become a popular agony aunt at the age of seven after she called her local radio station and advised a listener who wanted to abandon her boyfriend. </p>
<p>The radio station was so impressed which the advice that the caller should go bowling <strong>with</strong> friends and drink a mug of milk that Elaina Smith has been given a weekly slot to give tips to adult listeners.</p>
<p>She has tackled problems ranging from how to abandon boyfriends, relationship <strong>breakdown</strong>, and smelly brothers.</p>
<p>Elaina, from Coventry, West Midlands, appears on Mercia FM&#8217;s breakfast show and helps listeners who write to her each week. The breakfast show host Andy Goulding said: &#8220;The advice Elaina offers is laid-back and honest. We have been inundated <strong>with</strong> people emailing us <strong>with</strong> their problems since she has been on our show. </p>
<p>&#8220;Within a minute of us broadcasting her first slot a woman in hospital phoned in saying how much she enjoyed hearing the little girl&#8217;s voice. It really cheered her up.&#8221; </p>
<p>When one listener wrote to Elaina asking how she could find a boyfriend, she replied: &#8220;Shake your booty on the dance floor and listen to High School Musical.&#8221; </p>
<p>A girl caller, who asked what she should do about her lazy older brother, was told: &#8220;Tell him to get a job and stop watching Loose Women (the television programme.&#8221; </p>
<p>Elaina&#8217;s mother Karen Harris, 31, a customer service employee, said her daughter was &#8220;full of confidence and the advice just comes off the top of her head. She absolutely loves it and I see a future for her in radio.&#8221;</p>

<h2>how can i make more reliable friends?</h2>
<p>i am always ready to <strong>help</strong> any of my friends if they need it. i have helped them thru relationship breakdowns, depression, borrowed money from my family for nights out to cheer them up and i have taken time out to visit a couple of them in hospital ect&#8230; </p>
<p>anyways they all promised to come to college and have their hair done by me when i started my hairdressing course in september but only one of them has done so far.</p>
<p>i have been working hard lately at work and when i get weekend evenings off which isnt that often (since i work in a pub) i like to go out on the town. my mates have all turned me down this weekend <strong>with</strong> various excuses. most of which dont make much sence.</p>
<p>i cant <strong>help</strong> feeling let down by them all since i have been there for them.<br />
what can i do to make them more reliable?</p>

<h3>Lukes Love Life answers:</h3>
<p class="dtm-content">When you find out how and meet these wonderfully reliable friends pass on my details as I seem to suffer with the same problem! </p>
<p>But seriously they are supposed to be your friends have you tried explaining to them how they are making you feel? Try to do it without making it sound like you are having a dig about taking them on nights out &#8211; this is what friends do and I hope they have done this for you in the past also. Maybe they feel like they have lost touch with you recently due to your course and work commitments &#8211; could you ask them to come to your work one night? They could keep you company from the other side of the bar, or maybe see if they would be interested in a girly night in &#8211; you know pizza, dvd&#8217;s etc so that you could all have a catch up &#8211; while they are there you could offer to practice your new skills on them &#8211; good for you and this would be a good way for them to feel like they are helping you.<br />
Anyway good luck x x x x</p>

<h3>Lukes Love Life answers:</h3>
<p class="dtm-content">You need to get a medical check up asap. Some of what you&#8217;re feeling may be self induced paranoia. But counseling will help you sort it out. Sometimes someone who doesn&#8217;t you at all can be your best resource for help and information. You need to find something positive and good about yourself everyday. The fact that you are searching and reaching for answers is a good sign. You don&#8217;t say what people are ridiculing you about. Sometimes when we are different, ridiculing is part of the path. It shouldn&#8217;t be but it is! You have to learn how to deal with it. People have free speech just as you have your individualism. Maybe it&#8217;s time to find friends who you have more in common with. Do yourself a favor and don&#8217;t try to carry this heavy load by yourself. Get some counseling and exercise.  Yeah, exercise because you can put all that energy into a physical fitness routine. You sound like a winner. Now go out and be ONE!</p>

<p class="dtm-content">If you can tell the name of the other terms like administrative counselor, scientific counselor or managerial counselor or legal counselor, spiritual counselor or moral counselor or what it is.  I can easily catch the technical term. I too never heard this before through somebody other than this.</p>

<h2>M boyfriend threatened to leave me because I want to become a Massage Therapist because&#8230;?</h2>
<p>I am having issues trying to figure out what I want to do with my life.  Finally the idea just came to me at 11pm at night last night.  I want to be a massage <strong>therapist</strong>.  My goal is to find a <strong>career</strong> that makes people feel at peace with themselves and their minds.  I can&#8217;t see myself working in front of a pc cold calling people for the rest of my life.. I&#8217;m not great in school either.. I thought a certification program would be a fantastic way to go.  He didn&#8217;t think so.. </p>
<p>What should I do, I&#8217;m really excited about this option.  I couldn&#8217;t sleep a wink last night because I was so excited to tell someone about it, if that doesn&#8217;t scream passion I don&#8217;t know what does.  </p>
<p>We&#8217;ve been going for 1yr and 5 months?  This isn&#8217;t a fling, we were hoping to get married in the next year or so.. so it&#8217;s not as though I can just through this <strong>relationship</strong> out the door..  I just want to ease his mind, but it was honestly shocking when he said &#8220;if you pick this <strong>career</strong>, you can do it on your own.&#8221; </p>
<p>My future goal is to own my own business, so how do I express to him that I want to do this <strong>career</strong> until I have monies saved to create/transform my home into my own business?  I think I&#8217;m a smart cookie taking this route.. I&#8217;m into interior design too, my family wants me to persue my dream in that catagory, but I don&#8217;t see myself sucessfully supporting myself with that type of degree.  What am I going to do, freelance work?</p>
<p>Imo, any man I think, would loathe over the fact that their gf&#8217;s have skilled hands lol.  What do you think?</p>

<h2>Is my relationship worth saving?</h2>
<p>I recently had a loss of a job that I&#8217;ve had for about 2 years. It was real hard on me and my boyfriend was there for me emotionally through the entire thing. Now I have a new job and I started going to therapy to help me deal with things so that what happened at my old job doesn&#8217;t repeat itself. Going to therapy has opened me up to a lot of feelings and I&#8217;ve been trying to communicate them with my boyfriend but he always sees it as an argument and throws his hands in the air and acts annoyed. I read the book The Five Languages of Love that was recommended to me by my <strong>therapist</strong> because a lot of our arguments stem from me doubting his love and seriousness to this <strong>relationship</strong>. He&#8217;ll make comments about engagement but then say when we can go a month without fighting we&#8217;ll talk about it more. I gave him an ultimatum about it and he said that there were a couple of months where we didn&#8217;t grow so that&#8217;s why he hasn&#8217;t asked me yet. I know my love language is words of affirmation, physical touch, and quality time. His is quality time, physical touch, and acts of service. It&#8217;s just lately the way we spend time is doing things he wants to do, although I do have fun when we go out. He does things for me when I don&#8217;t ask him to do things but it&#8217;s like he does it because he wants to be able to say &#8220;this is what I&#8217;ve done&#8221; Lately it&#8217;s been a plea me trying to get him to have sex with me. It&#8217;s like we have a great <strong>relationship</strong> when we&#8217;re not talking about any serious issues. Like if I have an issue with him god forbid I say anything to him. We live together and all this time I thought i was listed on his lease until I found out the hard way that i wasn&#8217;t. Yet I pay rent. When I complained, he said if it gets you to stop nagging, I&#8217;ll fix it. When I changed my <strong>relationship</strong> status to it&#8217;s complicated, he said Move out and you can move back in when you don&#8217;t see it as being complicated.<br />
It&#8217;s like I can&#8217;t figure out who&#8217;s the delusional one in this <strong>relationship</strong>. In his mind he&#8217;s boyfriend of the year and I&#8217;m just the one who he can&#8217;t win for losing with. I cry in front of him and am expressing genuine feelings but it&#8217;s like it doesn&#8217;t phase him to want to change. I&#8217;m doing all the chasing. Can you explain the Love Languages to me because if I know how he shows love, what does that mean about how I feel love? Part of me wants to move out and just focus on my new <strong>career</strong> but i really love him. I&#8217;ve never gone to a <strong>therapist</strong> to try and fix things. I literally feel like everything in this <strong>relationship</strong> problem wise is my fault and he doesn&#8217;t make me feel any different. What can you tell me to do? He has communication issues that he says he&#8217;s been trying to work on our entire <strong>relationship</strong>. I feel no give and take and i don&#8217;t want to take communication out of the equation entirely just because we can&#8217;t fight fair.</p>

<h2>My therapist wants me to get a PhD. I don&#8217;t want one. I feel pressured. What to do?</h2>
<p>I have been seeing my psychotherapist for about two years and we have a great <strong>relationship</strong>. He has helped me sort out many tough issues in my life and I always feel so much better after our sessions. However, there is one problem. He thinks that I am highly intelligent, which I appreciate and am flattered by, but he thinks that I will never be fully self actualized until I go to college and get a degree. In fact, he thinks that I should pursue a Ph.D. Now, I am perfectly contented in my present <strong>career</strong> and am actually married to a Ph.D. who thinks that I am fine just the way that I am. I work at a college and love my job and the environment, but have no interest in a degree. My hearts desire is to start a family and be a mother. Unfortunately, my <strong>therapist</strong> thinks that this is a waste of my potential.<br />
Although it does not come up often, it does come up and it makes me feel awkward because I don&#8217;t want to confront it. I have tried to tell him subtly that I am not interested, but he still brings it up.<br />
I know he means well and I think at at the root of this, he sees a lot of himself in me..but his dreams and goals are not mine.<br />
What should I do? He is a wonderful <strong>therapist</strong> and has helped me in so many way, so I don&#8217;t want to stop seeing him. I just don&#8217;t want to feel pressured to pursue the life he thinks I should have.</p>

<h3>Lukes Love Life answers:</h3>
<p class="dtm-content">Well, it is true if you just waste your life away being a &#8220;wife and mother&#8221; and nothing more, you are wasting your intelligence and your potential, but that doesn&#8217;t mean you need to have a PhD, since not all intelligent people need to be academics, but they obviously need to be more challenged than your average &#8220;wife and mother&#8221; dingbat. A smart person can&#8217;t be happy with just being wife and mom. He&#8217;s probably suggesting it because of conversations you&#8217;ve had with him about your interests and what not. He clearly thinks you&#8217;d be interested in pursuing a PhD. And really, why not take a couple classes anyways? If you hate university learning, then fine, but if you&#8217;ve never done it, you wouldn&#8217;t know.</p>

<h2>Need Help!!!!! Gemini/Libra relationship on the verge of break up or may be already <img src='http://lukeslovelife.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> ?</h2>
<p>I have been in a <strong>relationship</strong> with a Libra male for a year and a half. It definitely<br />
Has had some bumps in it, but through and through honestly a pretty great<br />
<strong>Relationship</strong>. About 7 months ago he started freaking out in away about his life<br />
and his <strong>career</strong>. He said that he was getting older (35 lol) and that he needed to<br />
figure out what changes he needed to make to better his life. He being a<br />
Massage <strong>therapist</strong> wasn’t something he wanted to do much longer (14yrs later).<br />
So long story short he got a job opportunity in California and told me that he<br />
needed to do this. I went out with him to see the job and he asked if I wanted to<br />
Move too. Being that I am 27 and have a 7yr old son from a previous<br />
<strong>Relationship</strong>, I was a little hesisatant. Which seemed to make him disappointed. I<br />
Don’t know if he ever healed from that&#8230;&#8230;. well since that time I decided that I<br />
would move. Well 2 months ago I noticed him being distant, not as<br />
Affectionate, or intimate and seemed to always have an excuse on why he was acting that way. Most of the time the blame was on me, that I loved him too<br />
much, or I was needy, or too competitive, ect. Well a month ago he dropped the<br />
Bomb and told me he needed his space out of nowhere. It was really hard for me. I waited for a couple of days and tried to get him to talk about it, well that didn’t go so well he wouldn’t budge. We had some heated text messages and I broke up with him, uggh I know but he would talk. So after waiting two more days I showed up to his apt and just jumped in his bed where he was sleeping and just laid there didn’t question him or even talk about anything relative to us. After<br />
that he seemed to get over it. Better! So I helped him pack up his apt and we spent Valentines Day together which put us in a different love then we had been. It was awesome!!! So I sent him off Monday morning, we hugged for 30 mins and cried and cried so more, he said that I have really changed his life and that he was so in love me. He headed to Mississippi to spend time with his mom on the way out to Cali, called and texted crazy in love till Thursday when he headed out. His mom and I are very close so we talk…. She told me that all he could talk about was how lucky he was to have me in his life and that he loved me very much <img src='http://lukeslovelife.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   but Thursday  she said that she could tell something wasn’t right with him. That he yelled at her and he never ever gets angry. He barely text me until sat morning and called and seemed upset with me cause I hadn’t answered my phone when needed me that night before. (I was sleeping) then late Saturday he said that I was smothering him and he needed his space AGAIN!!!!!! uggh! Then told me to not talk to our mutual friends and not call his mom either. Of course with me being female and sensitive I let him have it on the text. No response. Except chill out! so I have, he called his mom yesterday and she told him that what he was doing wasn&#8217;t right and how can u say u loved me and wanted to be with me and then  turn his back completely against me. She said, he said he didn’t know what to do. He loves me but he’s confused. Basically she let him have it. I don’t really know if that was good. So I haven’t contacted him at all in 4 days and yesterday he sent me a casual message of whatcha doing? I responded&#8230;.. Nothing really exciting. I&#8217;m sorry this was so long but basically I need to know if I should just keep being cold and give him time to get situated or if I should break up with him and move on. I asked him a month ago if he wanted to break up and he said NO, I would never break up with u&#8230;.. you’d do it before I would. What should I do??? I love him<br />
 <img src='http://lukeslovelife.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
Oh and I just found out that he said that he is scared that he doesn&#8217;t know if he&#8217;s ready to be a dad. And Its my fault that im not there with him now :9 even though he said that he wanted to get situated before me and my son came out there.<br />
I tried talking hes not doing it!!</p>

<h2>I need ideas and tips on maintaining distant relationship with my online girlfriend?</h2>
<p>I met this girl <strong>online</strong> who lives in Finland. We&#8217;re getting along excellently and decided to be together in future but there&#8217;s no way to meet her for at least 7-8 months now. Till then, I need to ensure the steam in this <strong>relationship</strong>. Please suggest ideas and <strong>tips</strong>, especially if you been through this route in the past. We chat once or twice a week as that&#8217;s the maximum amount of time I can afford to spare. </p>
<p>Also, she wants me to send her email forwards and personalized/photoshopped material, you know those witty and kinky type emails. I need some good professional website links. </p>
<p>Help is appreciated in advance.<br />

<h2>Have you ever been in a serious online relationship?</h2>
<p>My question(s): Have you ever been in a serious <strong>relationship</strong> with someone you had (originally) met <strong>online</strong>? What <strong>tips</strong> would you give for making one work?</p>
<p>My story: I&#8217;m 15, my girlfriend is 13 &amp; 1/2. We&#8217;ve been going out since June 3rd 2009. I met her on an <strong>online</strong> game about 6 months ago. Ever since I met her I&#8217;ve been crazy about her. She&#8217;s funny, VERY pretty, sweet. And I know she&#8217;s not some old pervert &#8211; I&#8217;ve seen her on webcam before <img src='http://lukeslovelife.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> . She&#8217;s not comfortable with dating guys in real life&#8230; She really likes me, and I really like her. But the sad thing is we&#8217;ll probably never meet as we&#8217;re young and she lives 720 miles away. It really depresses me because I love her so much and she&#8217;s so beautiful and unique&#8230; Although I feel I&#8217;m not being fair to her because she&#8217;s in public school where she lives and she says she gets asked out by guys alot. She says she tells them no because she loves me. although again, I feel we&#8217;ll probably never meet. And if we do it&#8217;ll be way in the future. <img src='http://lukeslovelife.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  I&#8217;m home schooled, and thus I have no real life friends. I would normally never date <strong>online</strong> like this for obvious reasons but I&#8217;ve grown so close to her so fast. She&#8217;s anything I could ever dream for. I&#8217;m just trying to find a way to better make this <strong>relationship</strong> work. Something to make us feel closer (in distance). I don&#8217;t have a cell phone (strict parents) so I can&#8217;t call her. I feel like if I ask her to go on cam I&#8217;m bothering her cause she most likely doesn&#8217;t want to most of the time <img src='http://lukeslovelife.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> &#8230; I really trust her, and I really love her. I really want it to work. But IM conversations are getting boring&#8230;we&#8217;re BOTH running out of things to say! <img src='http://lukeslovelife.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />  I don&#8217;t want to let her go. How can I keep from losing her, I really don&#8217;t want us drifting apart/losing interest in eachother because we really have something. She&#8217;s my dream girl <img src='http://lukeslovelife.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /><br />

<h3>Lukes Love Life answers:</h3>
<p class="dtm-content">All you need to do is just write back and let her know that you apprecaite her &#8220;flirt&#8221; and you would like to get to know her better.  Tell her about yourself and ask her some questions that require a particular kind of response.  I am telling you this because a guy I know who is in love with Russian girls (he can speak Russian and find them attractive for some odd reason) joined one of those lovers websites and told me that some reply back with what seems to be a form letter. If they fail to answer his questions then he often assumes they are not for real if you know what I mean.</p>
<p>Just be yourself, but realx and don&#8217;t worry if she doesn&#8217;t like you. There are a lot of fish in the cyber sea.</p>

<h2>Do The People Looking Dates or Relationships on Dating Sites or MySpace Seem Like Total Losers to You??</h2>
<p>When I look on <strong>dating</strong> <strong>sites</strong> and MySpace I see the same losers and they have been on there for quite awhile and a lot of them lie in their profiles about height , weight , job and I see a lot of these people in bars but they say they are not into the bar scene&#8230;<br />
I know they lie because I know some of them , not as friends I just know who they are</p>

<h3>Lukes Love Life answers:</h3>
<p class="dtm-content">As someone who has used dating sites with a mixed bag of success, I have to agree with you, somewhat. I have seen some of the same guys on there for almost the entire 7 years I have been divorced. I think these are the ones who sit at their computer perusing the site and wait for their one true love to click on them and say here I am. But the thing is she will never show up! You tend to become jaded after being on for awhile, and you continually shoot down prospective matches because you are looking for the perfect one. They rarely even give someone a chance and stop communication before it ever goes anywhere. I don&#8217;t know if they are scared to death or just lazy. It&#8217;s easy to say you want a relationship but it&#8217;s a lot harder to go out and make it happen.<br />
You&#8217;re right about lying too. People who answer no way! To smoking, but there are recent pictures with cigarette in hand, or social drinker who no longer likes the bar scene but has numerous pictures with drinks in hand inside of bars. Go figure.<br />
Then on the other hand, I have met some really nice guys who portrayed themselves accurately but for one reason or another didn&#8217;t work out,  and had one successful year long relationship.<br />
I got tired of trying to read between the lines and figure out which ones were authentic and which were just blowing smoke, so I now rely on friends, family, or customers who I have come to trust to set me up.</p>

<h2>Has infidelity increased in relationships because of dating sites?</h2>
<p>I was once <strong>dating</strong> this girl and found out she had an online profile. When I went to visit it through a friend&#8217;s account I saw that she was still online. She was online for almost every night. Of course, she said she barely surfs the web. I said nothing about it and dumped her. She doesn&#8217;t deserve closure for that one.</p>
<p>I met a new girl a couple of weeks ago through an online <strong>dating</strong> service. We&#8217;ve been out a few times and have fun. She tells me she&#8217;s really happy. I deactivated my account but notice she&#8217;s online sometimes. WTF? Is everybody just out for Mr. Perfect or searching for the next best thing or something better?</p>

<h2>Needed advice from women, or someone with experience with serious relationships&#8230;do I still have a chance?</h2>
<p>My ex broke up with me 3-4 weeks ago, and we&#8217;re in some classes together and partners <strong>for</strong> projects still because we chose to be since the beginning of the year without knowing anything like this was going to happen. Until she felt that her feelings were not there <strong>for</strong> me all of a sudden, and from what I know&#8230;could not juggle a relationship along with schoolwork&#8230;so I took the bite of the nail on that. But I asked if she still wanted to go to the semi that&#8217;s coming up that I bought the tickets <strong>for</strong> us <strong>for</strong>, and she said she&#8217;d buy the ticket off me&#8230;and i agreed to it mistakenly. But she sits next to me in class still, and I just feel sad, and try not to show it but I still have feelings <strong>for</strong> her, and I can not just see her as a friend, and I only see her more than that, and I do not know what to do now&#8230;<br />
Our semi&#8217;s friday, and we&#8217;re going as friends and i asked if she felt awkward that it was ok that she could tell me, and she was saiid &#8220;no, we (her and her friends are all going as friiends&#8230;but I was hoping it would bring us back together after not being together <strong>for</strong> so long&#8230;.we have not hung out. I just feel that since school started she did not really get to see me the way i was out of school mode than in school mode, which was a huge difference this fall compared to when we first dated last spring&#8230;..when we hung out more off campus. If any questions, please ask if it helps..<br />
mean lately like today she complimented how she liked me haircut i got <strong>for</strong> the semi today, and i kinda blushed and tensed up the whole time&#8230;.i just don&#8217;t want her to know i still have feelings <strong>for</strong> her. And she asked &#8220;Is everything ok? you look really tense today&#8230;&#8221; but i answered really quickly &#8220;yep! i&#8217;m good!&#8221; and all day in the rest of our classes&#8230;I didn&#8217;t talk to her&#8230;.I just wished I knew if I still have a chance in getting back with her or something&#8230;&#8230;I feel like i&#8217;m in a middle ground&#8230;.but if anyone can help answer this question&#8230;please&#8230;<br />
we went out a little over half a year, and this was her first relationship&#8230;.<br />
i&#8217;m really confused because it was her first relationship, we&#8217;re both religious and moral about things&#8230;but things did get intimate to an extent, and we&#8217;ve taken naps together before&#8230;and when i asked if i could stay over <strong>for</strong> a night so i wouldn&#8217;t have to walk home late at 2 in the morning&#8230;it&#8217;s assumed that I wanted to have sex with her&#8230;..i don&#8217;t get it&#8230;.and i didn&#8217;t really get to voice my stance&#8230;except that night I kinda assumed she felt uncomfortable and i apologized and explained myself&#8230;but she was like &#8220;yeah i know&#8230;&#8221; but i really don&#8217;t know where I am&#8230;.she says she broke it off due to her feeling that aren&#8217;t there <strong>for</strong> me&#8230;and it just confuses me how she could say &#8220;i love you&#8221; 4 day prior to the break up&#8230;and thats it&#8230;.I&#8217;m really lost and confused&#8230;.where do i go from here? will things work out and come back together?</p>

<p class="dtm-content">I still think she got feelings for you, just that she is confused still with her feelings, of course you still have the chance to be together, just that maybe she is still not ready. Try to woo her back, remind her of why she accepted you to be her bf in the first place, and slowly try to woo her back, don&#8217;t force it, just take it one step at the time, just like before, maybe she will learn to love you again, also be your best with the semi, and be the best boyfriend you can ever be. I&#8217;m sure it will soften her heart of stone.</p>

<h2>I need advice from women who are married or in long term relationships?</h2>
<p>My boyfriend and I have been living together <strong>for</strong> about 7 months, I&#8217;m 20 and he&#8217;s 22. We have hit a pretty rough spot but are not looking to go seperate ways. I have a few issues that I need some help addressing. All the important things are in place.<br />
-I feel like sometimes his &#8220;let loose&#8221; behavior and jokes are that of a 10 year old boy. I know everyone is entitled to be immature, but jokes in public get embarrassing and the last thing I want to do is kill his spirit.<br />
-He procrastinates about everything known to man. Not just with me, with his family, school (we&#8217;re in college) and everything.<br />
-I have no privacy or space. We have a 1bd/1bth apartment and I can&#8217;t even use the rr in peace. The lock doesn&#8217;t work from him turning it to hard to open it while I was in here. Nothing is sacred to him! He even insists I tag along on guy only nights. I find myself @ bars watching guys slurp beer and inilate wings with sauce all over their faces. I can&#8217;t even grocery shop alone.<br />
Please help<br />

<p class="dtm-content">You need to sit down with him and these issues and try to peacefully resolve them in a non-accusatory manner! I could give you advice but your issues are WITH him and if you want you two to last into the future you need to be able to sit down with him and resolve your privacy, his immaturity and procrastination issues.</p>
<p>I do believe your s/o sounds very immature and may not be able to be ready in a long term relationship. He is 22 and is acting like he is 15&#8230;if he wants it to last with you he needs to grow up&#8230;maybe counseling for you two would help a psychologist address his maturity issues and let him know that he is making you embarrassed and hurting your life together by not getting good grades in school to help your future prospects and job successes as a couple!</p>
<p>You have some thinking to do. I know you love him but he just doesn&#8217;t seem like marriage material right now and his immaturity makes it so you can&#8217;t rely on him for serious issues &#8212; if you want to make it work go for it &#8211; but the question is &#8211; when you (and you HAVE to) hit him with these issues will he want to make it work too?</p>

<h2>Can&#8217;t cope with my boyfriend staring or being attracted to other women. Advice?</h2>
<p>Can&#8217;t cope with my boyfriend staring or being attracted to other <strong>women</strong>. <strong>Advice</strong>?</p>
<p>I have read on so many web pages that men (who are in <strong>relationships</strong>) staring at other <strong>women</strong> or being attracted to other <strong>women</strong> is completely normal and that any woman who gets annoyed with this is crazy. I have been with my BF <strong>for</strong> 3 years; we have been living together 2.5 years. We are both 25. At the beginning of our relationship he was besotted with me, I really knew he fancied me so much and had no doubts about him fancying other girls but over time I have noticed this disappear. He says he loves me, and will never cheat etc and he does do a lot <strong>for</strong> me, but he stares at and flirts with other <strong>women</strong> inc his ex. He then lies about it and gets caught out which makes me even more suspicious (as to what else is he hiding). He doesn’t do it all the time but when I say it to him, he denies it or says he is just being nice, or he does it <strong>for</strong> no reason! We fight a lot about this. I cannot accept that he says he loves me and I am the one he is with not another girl but….it is normal <strong>for</strong> him to be attracted to other <strong>women</strong>! I do get a lot of attention from other men and I am pretty successful but it really hurts me and makes me feel so unattractive and ugly + stresses me out so much. I want to get married soon but he says he is not ready + he can’t get married when we fight this much. I know a lot of people will say that it&#8217;s is normal <strong>for</strong> men to stare and find other <strong>women</strong> attractive, but if that is the case I really don’t know if I can be with any man. I just can’t cope with it. I am so confused, I really love my BF and I want to spend the rest of my life with him, but I am only 25, I just think if he is staring and flirting now what will he be like when I am 35 married with two kids?? I don’t know whether I should just leave him or put up with it even though it’s driving me insane! Any <strong>advice</strong></p>

<p class="dtm-content">His indifference to your feelings is not something that you should feel you have to put up with.<br />
Noticing other women is entirely acceptable for a single guy, never for one in a relationship.  I&#8217;ve witnessed both women and men do it whom I knew were already in relationships.  My advice is to get rid of him asap.  All men do NOT look at other women.  When I&#8217;m in a relationship, I never do, and I certainly don&#8217;t think its right for my gf to be looking at other guys.  Dump him and don&#8217;t look back.  While it may hurt now, you will save yourself considerable pain from what he WILL do to you in the future.  Good luck.</p>

<h2>Guys, do you have any suggestions or advice on overcoming guilt?</h2>
<p>I&#8217;ve been celibate <strong>for</strong> awhile now and pretty much given up on <strong>relationships</strong> with <strong>women</strong> <strong>for</strong> a variety of reasons.  I&#8217;m fine with that, but increasingly I feel that I am becoming completely asexual.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve never been to a strip club or a prostitute and I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;d ever want to and it&#8217;s gotten to where I can no longer enjoy pornography.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve tried things like erotic comic books and animation, because at least with those, there&#8217;s not a real woman, so I am not wondering things like, &#8220;Is she drug addicted and trapped in this life?  Was she sexually abused as a child?&#8221; and other questions that have ruined porn <strong>for</strong> me.  But I still felt disgusted with myself even <strong>for</strong> the comics because they are demeaning to <strong>women</strong>.</p>
<p>Any <strong>advice</strong>?<br />
Jman, I am not at all religious and haven&#8217;t attended church in nearly two decades.<br />
First, I want to thank everyone who had kind words.  They were appreciated.</p>
<p>I also want to thank those who put time and thought into sincere attempts to be helpful.</p>
<p>But I feel I should apologize <strong>for</strong> wasting your time&#8230; and worse.</p>
<p>It was a stupid question.</p>
<p>There are far worse things than being asexual, such as compromising one&#8217;s principles.</p>
<p>And trying to enlist others in attempts to evade my principles was base and cowardly.</p>
<p>I ought to be better than that and I apologize <strong>for</strong> this display.</p>

<p class="dtm-content">I&#8217;m not a guy but I know how you feel, somewhat.  At the risk of not making much sense, I&#8217;m going to attempt to explain how I feel, maybe you&#8217;ll relate to some of it:</p>
<p>1- Not seeing the other person as an adult making his/her own decisions&#8212; I feel the same guilt when a guy gives me a massage or pampers me physically&#8212;I start feeling guilty because I think he&#8217;s going to get tired.  I think it stems from the assumption that the person is not capable enough of looking out for his best interest, that even if his hand starts hurting for massaging me he won&#8217;t tell me, so I have to protect him from pain.  </p>
<p>2- My own inability to receive-  Maybe somewhere deep inside I do not feel worthy of receiving and instead feel more comfortable giving.   I feel guilty when I receive.  If someone buys me a gift, I feel that I have to return it with a more expensive gift instead of saying thank you and just telling myself that I deserved it.  The same goes with compliments.  Not to say that anybody notices this; I often overcompensate by being cocky to cover this part up.</p>
<p>3&#8211; Victim vs Predator perception&#8212; Since I was sexually molested as a child, and know what it&#8217;s like to be a victim and feel pain, I feel a subconscious obligation to protect everyone against pain, even if that requires protecting them from myself.  Basically, everybody is either a potential victim or potential aggressor.  This, of course, I came to realize was not the case. </p>
<p>This has left me vulnerable to control.  People were easily able to control me and my decisions because I felt sorry for them or because they could play on my emotions&#8212;I found myself being in relationships I didn&#8217;t really want to be in only because I wanted to take care of them or protect them from getting hurt.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been a long road, but I have to constantly remind myself that adults are capable of making their own decisions and I don&#8217;t need to protect them from their own decisions.  I&#8217;m only responsible for myself and obligated to be honest with those whom I get involved with&#8211;and that&#8217;s pretty much where my responsibility ends.</p>
<p>Sex is great part of our being, it&#8217;s a beautiful part that unfortunately has been tainted by darkness. I understand feeling asexual.  I somewhat felt that way when I became celibate twice in my life, only to get back on track later lol.  You&#8217;re very intelligent and charming.  Those are some qualities women love to have in someone they connect with so why deprive yourself and the woman who would enjoy having that connection with you?</p>
<p>EDIT: Don&#8217;t protect us against the decision to respond lol <img src='http://lukeslovelife.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<h2>How do women feel about dating a shorter man?</h2>
<p>I am what I would consider pretty short, 5&#8217;6&#8221;.  I have always been a little self conscious about my height when it comes to approaching <strong>women</strong>.  All of my <strong>relationships</strong> have been with shorter <strong>women</strong>, around 5&#8217;4&#8221; or so, but would like to pursue a woman who&#8217;s around 5&#8217;8&#8221;.  So I was wondering if there is any reason <strong>for</strong> me to be nervous about pursuing a taller woman, or am I just overreacting about the whole height thing.</p>
<p>Be honest, <strong>advice</strong> from <strong>women</strong> preferred.</p>

<h3>Lukes Love Life answers:</h3>
<p class="dtm-content">It&#8217;s a bit unconventional for women to date shorter men&#8230;it&#8217;s not seen very often; however, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.  Many women fall into the trap of superficiality thinking that they need a man who is taller.  If I am honest with myself, I would think twice before dating a shorter man, too, but ultimately I would be ashamed of being so shallow.<br />
Height should not make a difference.  I say&#8230;be brave and get to know your 5&#8217;8&#8221; friend.  If she turns you down, you will have peace with yourself knowing you at least tried.</p>

<h3>Lukes Love Life answers:</h3>
<p class="dtm-content">Well you can show her you lover by saying it and doing little things, little things count a lot! Like texting her and just saying I love you, coming up behind her and telling her she looks beautiful today, or just say what you love about her, give her compliments. </p>
<p>P.S If your 16 I wouldn&#8217;t be worrying that much about feeling and relationships, your still  young live up!</p>

<h2>Poems for a girl (Again)?</h2>
<p>I&#8217;ve been having some <strong>trouble</strong> with a girl. We are not sure what we are going to do with a <strong>relationship</strong>, I care for her a lot, and I wrote these <strong>poems</strong>; I&#8217;m wondering if any are good. (Yes, I&#8217;m young, but does it matter that much?)</p>
<p>I&#8217;m just confused<br />
When you&#8217;re amused<br />
And it&#8217;s not me</p>
<p>I hate to see<br />
My jealousy<br />
In a year or two<br />
I might think, &#8220;What a fool&#8221;</p>
<p>But right now<br />
All I see is how</p>
<p>&#8230;</p>
<p>I wish I could be in your head<br />
I wish your thoughts could be read<br />
Yeah, I won&#8217;t cry<br />
But I&#8217;ll still wonder why<br />
You couldn&#8217;t have told me instead</p>
<p>Sometimes<br />
There are no rhymes<br />
That I can say<br />
My words for you, Day<br />
I don’t always feel<br />
That this is real<br />
And why<br />
Do I<br />
Not Know<br />
How you<br />
Feel too?</p>
<p>I do not know<br />
How to show<br />
The way I fell<br />
I’ve been a heel<br />
And Why<br />
Do I<br />
Feel this way?</p>
<p>Good, bad?</p>
<p>Should I give her any of these?</p>

<p class="dtm-content">I always remember this true story a lady I know told me.  She was a nurse in an old people&#8217;s home &amp; she was getting ready to go on a date after work.  An elderly man at the home who had alzheimers disease  saw her fussing over her hair &amp; being all nervous.  He must have had a lucid moment, as he said to her &#8220;Don&#8217;t worry dear, if he&#8217;s the right one for you then he won&#8217;t care what your hair looks like&#8221;.</p>

<div class="dtm-content">
<h2>I&#8217;m just never good enough for him&#8230;.?</h2>
<p>Well, here&#8217;s the deal. I&#8217;ve been with my boyfriend for almost 1.5 years, and we have lived together nearly all that time. (Yes, rushed into things, I know.) Anyway, things were great at first, but slowly I feel like they are <strong>falling</strong> <strong>apart</strong>, and I&#8217;m getting to my breaking point. </p>
<p>More detail of the situation: I feel like my boyfriend doesn&#8217;t really love me anymore. I know he does, because of all the things he does to take care of us, but emotionally, he&#8217;s not there. In fact, he&#8217;s been pretty mean, and distant lately..</p>
<p>I&#8217;m unemployed, and he works a lot to take care of us. I&#8217;ve been trying really, really hard to get a job. I&#8217;ve been really sick too&#8230;I spent two months in the hospital because of some infections and viruses, and I got fired. As soon as I was out of the hospital, I was looking for a job ASAP, and still am.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re moving this weekend, and I have taken care of everything. I even filled out HIS application FOR him!!! I cook, and clean, and do laundry&#8230;EVERYTHING. So he doesn&#8217;t have to do a damn thing, I suffer from fibromyalgia, but he doesn&#8217;t understand how hard it is for me to do all this, and how much pain I am in. I don&#8217;t complain AT ALL. I would NEVER complain!!! He&#8217;s doing so much. I tell him how often I appreciate him, and I am always doing little things to show him&#8230;like buying a special snack for his lunch, or making him music play lists for his MP3, or making him a piece of art&#8230;I know it&#8217;s not much, but we have minimal amounts of money so I do what I can.</p>
<p>Then he gets mad at me. I didn&#8217;t do the dishes for a few days because I&#8217;m on my period, and I also have Endometriosis, so I am pretty much rendered useless. He comes home, and says to me, &#8220;So what do you do all day?&#8221; In a very mean tone. I explain to him I&#8217;ve been in a lot of pain and I wasn&#8217;t able to get to it. His response? : &#8220;If all I ask of you is to do the dishes, then you should have at least enough respect to DO THEM!&#8221; Then when I get upset and cry (I never do so in front of him, I always excuse myself to the bathroom) he gets mad and says that , &#8220;Wtf is <strong>your</strong> problem? You&#8217;re never happy!!!&#8221; How am I supposed to be happy when whatever I do is never good enough?</p>
<p>He says that I never tell him anything, but then when I text him and let him know what&#8217;s going on he&#8217;s a complete asshole. For example I texted him: &#8220;Ugh&#8230;I&#8217;ve been feeling sick all day&#8230;I hope you are having a better day than me!&#8221; He responded, &#8220;What are you getting at?&#8221;  And then when I explain to him I&#8217;m just trying to let him know what&#8217;s going on, because he was complaining about it, he says, &#8220;Well don&#8217;t text me while I&#8217;m at work.&#8221; We used to text eachother all the time&#8230;.it breaks my heart.</p>
<p>He used to love me so much, but I feel like he doesn&#8217;t anymore. He takes care of us financially, yes, and I understand that he is tired. I don&#8217;t push or get upset when he doesn&#8217;t give me the emotional connection that I need. </p>
<p>He barely tells me he loves me anymore, and when I say it to him, he rarely says it back. He won&#8217;t hold my hand in public&#8230;I don&#8217;t get upset anymore&#8230;I love holding his hand. I tell him constantly that just a mere kiss and a &#8220;I love you&#8221; would leave me feeling a whole lot better emotionally, than absolutely nothing. I rarely get that though. Today, I gave him a peck on the cheek before he left for work, and told him I loved him. His response? See you tonight.</p>
<p>Gosh I&#8217;m sorry that this is so long, I just feel like our <strong>relationship</strong> is <strong>falling</strong> <strong>apart</strong>, and I want to <strong>save</strong> it. I&#8217;m doing everything that I can, but he always seems to be able to find fault, like I&#8217;m not preforming my &#8220;girlfriend&#8221; duties or something (he&#8217;s never said that&#8230;but he makes it pretty obvious that&#8217;s how he feels)&#8230;I need help, I don&#8217;t know what to do. I have tried talking to him, but the only thing that happens is that he becomes upset at nearly ANYTHING I say and refuses to converse further. Even when I am completely calm and have thought things through logically to come up with the best way to approach things&#8230;</p>
<p>HELP!!!!</p>

<h2>Animes with strange romance?</h2>
<p>I hate typical romance, it doesn&#8217;t do a thing for me. So I&#8217;ll compare situations from an anime I&#8217;ve seen &amp; you name something like it. Oh man, I&#8217;m terrible with remembering character names&#8230;. This can be boy-girl, girl-boy, boy-boy, &amp; girl-girl, &amp; hermaphrodites work too. Please keep the relationships PG rated, though the violence &amp; swearing (if any) can be bloody as all hell.</p>
<p>Good examples:<br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br />
1)You want them to get together, but they never do. (Ex: Neuro &amp; Yako from Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro, &amp; the mangaka &amp; the tomboy from School Rumble end up with different people, Leon &amp; D from the manga of Petshop of Horrors, the main characters from the Vampire Game manga, anyone from Pretear be it the manga or the anime, the two cousins from the Hands Off manga).</p>
<p>2)He&#8217;s just not that into you, because you&#8217;re crazy. (Ex: The boy from Happy Lesson never notices that a very motivated school girl has an eye for him, Il Palazzo has little tolerance for Excel in Excel Saga, Hale is terrified of Goo in Jungle wa Itsumo Hale nochi Goo, Carrot &amp; Chocolate from Bakuretsu Hunter/Sorcerer Hunters, Perfect Girl Evolution/The Wallflower).</p>
<p>3)She&#8217;s not the romantic type. (Haruhi from Ouran High School Host Club, Jiyu from Juubei-Chan).</p>
<p>4)Love Pentacle, because a triangle is just not big enough. (Peach Girl, Marmalade Boy).</p>
<p>5)Sir! Yes Sir! I mean&#8230;Yes Ma&#8217;am! (Kagome &amp; Inu Yasha, Lina &amp; Gourry from Slayers, Inaho &amp; Mosquiton from Master of Mosquiton 99, Chidori &amp; Sousuke from Full Metal Panic Fumoffu).</p>
<p>6)Platonic life partners  (Ban &amp; Ginji from GetBackers, the four guys from Gensoumaden Saiyuki, Gon &amp; Killua from Hunter x Hunter, those guys from the Diabolo manga, Gilt-Na-Zan &amp; his servant from the Vampire Doll manga, anyone from Li-Ling Po manga, Sam &amp; Frodo from Lord of the Rings, Jay &amp; Silent Bob).</p>
<p>7)Miss Oblivious &amp; her fanclub. (Chou Gals/Super Gals, Jubei-Chan).</p>
<p>8)Keeping an already established <strong>relationship</strong> from <strong>falling</strong> <strong>apart</strong> (Ran Kotobuki &amp; Tatsuki from Chou Gals).</p>
<p>9)<strong>Save</strong> the romance for the end (Inu Yasha, Ouran High School Host Club, Shin&#8217;s confession in Gokusen).</p>
<p>10)Unexpected break-up in the end (Paradise Kiss).</p>
<p>11)Romeo &amp; Juliette (Karen/Vampire Doll).</p>
<p>12)Love thine enemy (This one can be either legitimate or just really really suggestive. This ranges from innocent quarrels to blood vendettas).</p>
<p>13)Highly suggestive sausagefest (There are no girls in this series, or the ones that are are not romantic intrests. This covers Shounen &amp; BL).</p>
<p>14)The creepy lesbian/gay guy you think is just <strong>your</strong> friend (Tomoe from Card Captor Sakura).</p>
<p>15)Socially unacceptable (They&#8217;re either somehow related or one is a viscous unrelenting stalker).<br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br />
Bad examples:<br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br />
*Sexual tension is not romance (Furi-Kuri/Fooly Cooly).<br />
*Imagined interest, or the romance was axed from the anime adaption (Milly &amp; Vash from Trigun).<br />
*Planets orbiting the sun (Harems &amp; reverse-harems where everyone loves one specific character, with the exception that the harem is the same gender as their idol).<br />
*Robot love (Chobbits).<br />
*I thought he was gay (At least two guys from Fruits Basket).<br />
Oh, on &#8220;bad examples: Planets Orbiting&#8221;, another exception is that if the central character is just that stupid that he/she has no idea everyone likes him/her, then that&#8217;s okay, because it adds a lot to the story. Another exception is if the central character does not want the harem, like in Happy Lesson &amp; Kyou Kara Maou, because it&#8217;s funny).<br />
Fushigi Yuugi, huh? So you mean Tamahome &amp; Miyaka never get together? I never could finish that show&#8230; Oh wait, that might fit into &#8220;I thought he was gay.&#8221;</p>

<h2>Which would you choose: your spouse or your child?</h2>
<p>If <strong>your</strong> husband and <strong>your</strong> teen daughter (also his daughter) fought so much and had such a bad <strong>relationship</strong> that she ran away<br />
and she refused to come home (lives in a rental trailer, works for a maid service, night high school)<br />
and you believed that they were both at fault<br />
and he refuses to attend more than 2 family therapy session because he thinks therapy is an insuarance scam<br />
the husband wants to disown his daughter<br />
the daughter want to get emancipated (divorce her parents to get away from her dad)<br />
and you can&#8217;t talk about the daughter to the husband without <strong>falling</strong> <strong>apart</strong><br />
and you can&#8217;t talk to <strong>your</strong> daughter about her father or she falls <strong>apart</strong><br />
and <strong>your</strong> whole world is crashing down around you<br />
&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p>would you give up on the daughter and try to <strong>save</strong> the 30 year marriage<br />
or get a divorce and do all you could to help the child?<br />
Do I know what&#8217;s going on that caused all the problems? Yes, of course.</p>
<p>We have been trying really hard to give her a good &#8220;launching point&#8221;. Teach her everything she needs to survive on her own. She sees this as over controlling.</p>
<p>This is a child who got a pony for her birthday &#8212; but it was green trained and she had to actively participate in the training. She got a car when she turned 16 &#8212; but it was a practical economy car not a new sports car and she had to maintain a B+ average to be allowed to drive it. She has the trappings of a spoiled child but not really. There&#8217;s always been some kind of a catch that made her earn what she wanted.</p>
<p>My husband does ask everyday if I&#8217;ve had contact with the daughter and if she&#8217;s OK. </p>
<p>I think she blames dad more because due to work shifts and work hours she actually has spent more time with him than me for the past 14 years.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t take advice from anonymous strangers on the Internet. I was just venting. Thanks.</p>

<h2>Is the band &#8220;Blood On The Dance Floor&#8221; a joke? 10 points?</h2>
<p>Okay so I was doing what I usually do, listening to music on YouTube, when I decided to watch a Black Veil Brides video. I&#8217;m a huge, huge fan of BVB&#8230; they&#8217;re like my favorite band. So then I decide to look at the right of the screen for more music videos to watch, when I see a video by a band called Blood On The Dance Floor. The song is called &#8216;Bitches Get Stitches.&#8217; </p>
<p>Here are the lyrics (I am not kidding): Stop the date, congratulate, you know my name so eat some cake. Party hardy, grab bacardi, talk <strong>your</strong> shit, watch you get hit. <strong>Save</strong> the drama for <strong>your</strong> mama, what&#8217;s up with that awful gossip? Don&#8217;t be mad because my hair is so rad. Life is good up in my hood.Bitches get stitches, they end up in ditches, so get the riches, bitches get stitches, end up in ditches, get the riches (x2), Check yourself before you wreck yourself. Oh my god, blah, blah, blah, I&#8217;m rated X for explicit sex.You can talk <strong>your</strong> shit, you can run those lips, you&#8217;re only making me famous you ignoramus. I&#8217;m so dangerous, so so so so, dangerous! Bitches get stitches, end up in ditches, get the riches (x4) You can talk <strong>your</strong> shit, you&#8217;re only making me famous (x3) </p>
<p>And then everything pretty much repeats. Here&#8217;s the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Um6EUIwLSm8&amp;feature=related<br />
Then there&#8217;s another one called &#8220;Death To <strong>Your</strong> Heart.&#8221; Behold: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPm-N9e2ZDg</p>
<p>Okay so the lead singers name is &#8216;Dahvie Vanity.&#8217; Apparently, he got charged for raping a 15 year old girl but I&#8217;m not sure if it was true. He also says that he put all of his life work into this, and Blood On The Dance Floor is ready to take on the U.S. Then he said there will be blood. </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what his blog has to say:<br />
“SOME PEOPLE JUST MAKE ME SICK!!!!!! How dare you be so low and just ungrateful. I happily shut off Garrett’s phone today with such joy. You see .. Garrett has been THROWN AWAY FROM BLOOD ON THE DANCE FLOOR.. Just like that! Let me give you a little history behind BOTDF.. I Dahvie Vanity created Blood On The Dance Floor and no I will never give up my dreams.. BOTDF is my life’s work.. I have bled.. I have sacrificed and I have given my whole entire life existence into this movement. My fans mean the world to me. I composed all of my music that brings utter happiness and I even wrote all of Garrett’s so called parts. HAH and what’s so funny is when he would come into the studio all drugged up from the night because he’s a druggy loser.. I would still be so kind to write and direct his parts while he slept on a couch all day. I should’ve removed him than and there but didn’t because</p>
<p>I am a monster… But I do have a heart.</p>
<p>I just didn’t want to disappoint my fans. You guys deserve the best! And when relationships fall <strong>apart</strong> it just totally sucks.. But the show must go on…</p>
<p>It’s funny how things work out. How people can just back stab you.. Not anymore! It’s time for a change.. Let me shed the truth..</p>
<p>I had to cancel some shows due to personal reasons.. False accusations we’re made against me! ME.. I am so kind and legit..I give everyone R-E-S-P-E-C-T And When I was gone Garrett decided to steal my trailer with all my gear..(((GRAND THEFT AUTO + Robbery = 5 to 10 years in prison))) and trust me Garrett would not survive in prison. He than performed a show with my music.. without me.. I’m sorry but that ain’t right.. I CREATED BLOOD ON THE DANCE FLOOR! ALL THE LYRICS AND SONGS WE’RE CREATED BY ME.. You just don’t try and take another man’s work.. That’s called grand theft dreams.. Garrett also tried to steal my debit card and access my accounts.. That’s called fraud and If I do believe so that’s a felony with a 10 year sentence to prison.</p>
<p>HOW DARE YOU! He’s so fortunate I didn’t press charges..” </p>
<p>I want to know if this band is kidding around. Are they making fun of bands like this? Are they joking, like is it meant to be funny? Or are they being serious and think they&#8217;re good? Ha ha&#8230; it&#8217;s so hilarious if it&#8217;s real&#8230;even more hilarious than if it is indeed fake. Here&#8217;s a blog about them (that&#8217;s clearly making fun of Dahvie) if you&#8217;d like more info. http://predisastered.com/2010/07/18/blood-pouring-from-my-ears-on-the-dance-floor/</p>
<p>By the way, if you&#8217;re a fan of Blood On The Dance Floor, I&#8217;m sorry and I wasn&#8217;t meaning to disrespect them. I understand that we all have different opinions&#8230;and I hate it when people come off as disrespectful when talking about my favorite bands. I wasn&#8217;t trying to be mean or anything.<br />
Sorry, for the &#8216;Bitches Get Stitches&#8217; lyrics, it&#8217;s &#8216;Stop the hate&#8217; not &#8216;Stop the date&#8217;<br />
Oh I know all about Jessi, she pretended to have a baby with Andy Biersack (Six) lmfao<br />
Please check out this song, too. I&#8217;m laughing so hard right now&#8230;even though I&#8217;m DEEPLY disturbed<br />

<h2>Name for character? These questions are fun&#8230;?</h2>
<p>In my fantasy-drama-adventure series, the protagonist (girl) is in love with a man for more than half of the books. At first, it&#8217;s a hate <strong>relationship</strong> (she thinks he&#8217;s stalking her when he is really protecting her) which progresses to love-hate, and finally to lasting love. But the <strong>relationship</strong> falls <strong>apart</strong> after some time, and it&#8217;s mostly her fault. She&#8217;s fallen for a &#8220;better&#8221; man because she thinks he&#8217;s betraying her by doing something wrong when he is actually saving her (his actions are deeply buried in the plot). At the end, he dies while still loving her and when she finally understands everything. He has a hidden sort of identity because the society believes him to be a wrongful person, and has been in hiding for a long time, so he&#8217;s muscular and street-smart.<br />
Well, enough plot. He&#8217;s a tall handsome guy with dark (not black) straight hair and dark eyes, he has a slight british accent, and he&#8217;s conceited, cocky, and quite anti-feminist; in contrast to and to the great disdain of the feminine but headstrong protagonist. On the other hand, he&#8217;s very protective, and sort of clever, and can be a gentleman when he wants to.</p>

<h3>Lukes Love Life answers:</h3>
<p class="dtm-content">If he has a slight British accent you can have all kinds of fun with British/ Irish/ Gaelic names.  Wesley has always been a favorite name of mine, but might be a bit of a soft name for such a hard character.  Russel was the very first name that popped into my head based on that description.  I can suggest a few baby name websites that might be fun to browse through.  Sometimes when creating a character with certain strong personality traits it is cool to choose a name whose meaning matches that character like Ethan which means strong, firm, impetuous.  Or even better yet, you could choose a name whose meaning is something that is ingrained in his character, but that your female lead doesn&#8217;t see right away, like Maddox, a Welsh name meaning good and generous.</p>

All the paper work will be done but it might take a little linger cause you know how filipinos like to process papers&#8230;&#8230;<br />

<h2>How is an arranged marriage so much more acceptable than a gay marrige?</h2>
<p>Arranged marriages are definitely not illegal anywhere in the world, and the royal wedding is receiving so many praises. However, no politician or company would ever dare to openly accept gay <strong>marriage</strong> as even tolerable. Shouldn&#8217;t a gay <strong>marriage</strong> based on love be more acceptable than a <strong>marriage</strong> arranged for any other reason? Is <strong>marriage</strong> more about traditions and religion than it is about love?</p>

<p class="dtm-content">That&#8217;s because the concept of marrying for love is actually a relatively new idea. In the past, it was seen as a business deal that could secure financial, political and familial success, and love was seen as a sweet extra, though not exactly necessary.</p>
<p>Edit: Also, marriage didn&#8217;t always intertwine with religion. People today just have a tendency to view it as a religious ceremony religious rather than something economical (since married couples do get special privileges from the state).</p>

<h2>What is a paper marriage and Cambodian arranged marriages?</h2>
<p>A friend of mine is in an arranged <strong>marriage</strong> and he says its a paper <strong>marriage</strong>.  My friends and I can only think it&#8217;s just getting the papers saying you&#8217;re married no ceremony.  He says a paper <strong>marriage</strong> is a fake <strong>marriage</strong> so she can get citizenship.  I read online even if they get married she still has to go through everything to get citizenship here in the US.  She is from Cambodia.  He also doesn&#8217;t want to get married but says it&#8217;s to late in the engagement and Cambodians don&#8217;t like it when you break them so he has to marry then divorce.  Is any of this true?</p>

<p class="dtm-content">He is legally married!!  No culture likes it when you break engagements, but for the most part divorce is frowned on about 1000% more than breaking off an engagement.   </p>
<p>Sorry.</p>

<p class="dtm-content">Marriage is one thing you can&#8217;t do by yourself.   Both of you have to be determined to work and keep the marriage.<br />
Figure out how to handle dissagreements before you&#8217;re married.    If you don&#8217;t have disagreements,  beware.   That means one of you is always giving in.   That can&#8217;t last very long.<br />
Ppl are angry on different time schedules.  Don&#8217;t insist your partner talk it out or be happy again, just beucause you are.    You may get angry quickly and get over it quickly.   She may not get angry so quickly,  but stay angry a while.<br />
Don&#8217;t violate the marriage circle.   Don&#8217;t talk to ppl outside the marriage about anything that would hurt or insult your partner or make her/him look bad.   Your first loyalty is to your partner.<br />
Do the golden rule.<br />
Talk,  TALK,  about money.    How to handle it.  How to keep track of it.   What your budget is,  how to work together to get what you want.<br />
No matter what,  job, kids, spend some time alone together.<br />
Yes!  Deb peg  I forgot that one!   Put your marriage first. Before the job, the kids, the in laws,   everything else.<br />
