Resolved Question: ahh i feel like such a slut... what to do? :(?

I feel really guilty about this... So I'm 16 and I hooked up with an 18 year old who I didn't know. I went to this crazy college party with my 19 year old brother, his roomate (Sean) and his friend's friend (Ryan) and he's the one I hooked up with. So anyway after the party we went back to my brother and his roomate's appartment. My brother went upstairs to bed, his roomate went upstairs to bed, and I was sleeping downstairs on the futon, so they told Ryan to just sleep downstairs too but on the floor. Anyway that didn't exactly happen. First all we did was talk for a while on the futon. Then after a while, we just kinda started making out on the futon. Then Ryan started feeling me up- he felt and sucked on my boobs, felt my whole body, and even touched...down there... I did NOT let him finger me though, and he really wanted to have sex, but I said no, so we didn't, and he really wanted to sleep with me on the futon but I said no he had to sleep on the floor so he did. But still he touched me everywhere, sucked on my boobs, made out, and basically did foreplay for a while. And he like picked me up and laid me on top of him while we made out etc. It really was foreplay. And I feel like such a SLUT. He's an 18 year old college guy who I never met, and I did all that with him :( Am I a bad person? And I know this sounds crazy but since he touched down there, there's no way to get pregnant right? Ughh I feel soooo guilty and ashamed for doing that, and I feel like I let my parents down. What to do? more

Voting Question: I need advice - not sure what to do...I found out my husband has a sex addiction.?

I found websites that were "googled and searched and looked at" on both of our home computers. at first, when I asked him what the search was he denied it and lied right to my face... I ignored him the rest of the night and he slept in other room as I couldn't sleep due to what my mind was telling me.. Next moring,while he was at work - I look on other computer and low and behold, find more sites and then found two searches for a escort in vegas... that is what set me off ...I left the house and wrote nasty notes all over the house... to make this long long story short - he did do this when I met him ( was on dating sites etc) and after we were dating seriously, I made him stop all his memberships and delete everything - all was fine...we got married and have been having a great time ( so I thought). We also have been TTC and that also has been an issue for past two years - gee, now I know why. I'm at a loss and don't know what to do ....when confronted with me knowing, he went into a "child-like" behavior throwing his hands up and shaking all over saying "I don't kow what to do...I don't know what to do"...and threw himself onto the futon in a child like temper - it was the most bizarre thing I've ever seen. I made him understand that he needs help as its a situation spiraling out of control and he agreed and has called like 5-6 different doctors/therapist to which only 2 have called him back...our health insurance gave him 2 names but only 1 in in service and yet hasn't called him back ( hoping the sessions are covered by insurance as can't afford $100 a week ) ..He was researching the subject and seems to think that he stems from when he first masterbated at age 18 ( he is now 48) and so thinks its just a quick fix to go and someone will help him and all be fine - he doesnt get that it will take time. I feel sick all the time (was hoping it was on acct of getting pregnant but its not) - I cry constantaly and to boot....nobody can know..Our family cannot know as they would die and friends cannot know as don't want them to find out...so I feel alone in this..He knows I can't be near him but he wants to try taking things slow ( hold hands and hug me when I get in from work , back rub ) all the little things that he now says makes him realize how much he truely loves me... He is not an evil man - just the opposite. very sweet. I don't understand why men do this - I do know they look at porn but why? you have a wife at home who loves you and would do anything if only he asked her to... he always had an obsession with redheads - so why not just buy me a wig and I could've lived out that for him instead he goes to look at them online - why? sooo many ??? - I don't know what to do...is it okay to talk to him - he wants to . he wants me to tell him what i'm thinking no matter how it hurts to hear... he wants the help with is great but why can't any of the doctors call him back? I don't get it... anyone ever gone through this?? any advice would be great right about now. - our 5th yr anniversay is in November so basically we haven't even made it 5 yrs on a good note yet - ughso basically, you think i'm making more of this situation than what it really is? Yes, I know men look at porn and if it was just woman he was looking at - I probably wouldn't be so upset...I saw teens in bikinis that he was looking at - thats sick!!! and then about the escorts, he goes to vegas for work every year and so he was "thinking" about it but didn't go through with it.... just thinking of having one is an issue ...yes, im upset and I do appreciate everyones advice - I'm just at a loss - thats all :-( more

Resolved Question: Close friend is scaring me with how she's behaving, how can I best help her?

Long story short, this girl and I are close friends who've both liked each other at some point in the past. We've very comfortable with each other and trust each other a great deal. Before this whole mess started, she was the shy girl who at her highest level of flirtiness (towards me 3 years ago) smiles like the sun and might hug the guy. She normally doesn't touch guys at all, and never had slept with (sex or no sex) any guy. Then her grandmother died. She turned to me for comfort despite the fact I had asked her out 4 months prior to this. She cried for 2 hours, telling me she was so sorry she was like this, so glad I was there for her, etc. After she stopped crying she kept twining fingers with me, cradling her head against my chest, and eventually we fell asleep next to each other on the futon. I was greatly confused by her actions, but I didn't bring it up for a long time because she was so distraught. I really wanted to know how she actually felt towards me since she HAD just turned me down before that. I waited a month and a half. She had gotten over her embarrassment of that night, we had been hanging out as normal the previous 2 weeks. I finally asked her how she was doing since that night (hoping she'd say she was fine and then being able to ask what was actually going on)... and she told me she wasn't doing very well. Her grandmother's birthday is coming up, she would have been 82. And last weekend (while I was working my overnight shifts) she had gotten blackout drunk at a friend's 21st and gone home with a random guy. She insists nothing happened, they just had a heart to heart and she's amazed he's still texting her afterwards given how she acted. Instead of asking how she actually feels towards me I swallowed what I was about to say and instead I gave her a huge hug and told her she should know she can always talk to me. I don't honestly know what to do. It's clear she is still not doing well. I've proven to myself I can comfort her emotionally and physically without taking advantage of her (yes... I do want to **** her but I can resist, I can't say the same of any other guy). If it's obvious she will be happier with another (and I can trust that person) then I would step aside. But I am admittedly biased here. What can I do to help her the most now? She isn't like this normally. I would rather have her back to normal and mad at me for a month than find out she's traumatized herself with some guy or gotten pregnant or something. more

Resolved Question: What is up with my friend? What do I do now?

To sum up a very long story short, this girl recently lost a grandparent. For about a week she seemed fine and then on the weekend this girl who normally almost never touches guys started hugging me tight. I asked what was wrong and then suddenly she's sobbing. She starts calming down hours later and starts being more flirty than I'd ever seen her get. She's twining hands with me, leaning up against me, holding me tight, etc. We ended up sleeping cuddled up next to each other on a futon at our friend's place, because she didn't want me to leave her alone. Thing is, I had used to like this girl. I had asked her out 5 months prior to this whole episode. If she had been anything but grief-stricken and emotionally distraught I probably would have tried something. But I did not. She seemed ridiculously embarrassed afterwards and we didn't really talk much for over a month. There were parties where we'd see each other there, but if I didn't talk to her first she'd ignore me completely. She invited a bunch of our friends out to go see a movie... but not me. She finally started talking to me first about a month and a half after that night, after I had started flirting with a different girl (but that went nowhere). Things are finally settling down. She's returning text messages, we're getting dinner together like we used to, talking and laughing like normal. Except this last time we went out together I noticed she definitely was staring at my eyes a lot. If I had any idea what was going on through her head maybe I could have kept a gaze for more than 4-5 seconds, but I was the one who kept looking away. I'm confused about what happened that night, and I have no idea if she was embarrassed and stayed away til it seemed like I was over her entirely... or if she likes me and was too shy/embarrassed to talk until it seemed like she might lose me. I know I need to talk to her directly, but what does it look like from this? Would being there for her like that have been enough to win her over? Or is she embarrassed she acted like that and was panicking about potentially leading me on?or is this just one of those things I should never bring up... ever? more

Resolved Question: Best friend and I are in a messy situation, how can I eloquently bring this up?

This girl used to be one of my best friends. We both had had feelings towards each other at one point but they just never lined up at the same time and we were just close friends until about a month and a half ago. Her grandma had died. She brought it up when we were at lunch one day, and almost every day the entire week we spent hanging out with some friends. I thought she had been doing OK with it up until the weekend's party. A few hours in (and a tiny bit of alcohol, but not enough to even get her drunk normally) she grabbed me tight and just started hugging me. Being that she is normally quite shy with physically touching guys, I asked her if everything was OK and she just started sobbing. Long story short, I spent the rest of the night comforting her as best as I could. I kept her from sleeping with a random guy later on in the night, but I did kiss her on the forehead once (no big deal?) and we ended up sleeping cuddled up next to each other on the futon. I'm fairly confident that's the first time she's ever slept next to a guy. She knows nothing happened between us. Yet since then, when we used to see each other 3-4 times a week (while working full time), getting dinner together, playing football, etc... I'll see her once a week at best now. I asked if she was upset with me, she insists no, but at friendly gatherings if I don't come up to talk to her, she'll completely ignore me. Since that whole mess, she has called to invite me out to dinner once. That itself is kinda weird because she normally texts things like that, and she seemed flustered while she did it. I also found out she went to the movies a few weeks ago with some friends of ours, she set up everything... but didn't invite me. We've never really talked about what happened I guess, but I just figured it'd blow over since we didn't do anything with each other. Clearly that is not the case. How can I phrase it to her that I do still have feelings towards her, that I had been trying to move on before this whole episode, that night confused the heck out of me and now I really do need to know if she actually has feelings towards me or was just acting from grief. Oh, and without losing her as a friend if possible? more

Resolved Question: How do I bring up this elephant in the room with my best friend?

This story is extremely complicated but I'll try to sum it up. This girl is my best friend. We both were interested in each other at some point but they never lined up and since I've been hesitant to ever try again because I love her so much as a friend. Everything was fine between us though up until her grandma died about a month and a half ago. She brought it up when we were at lunch one day, and almost every day the entire week we spent hanging out with some friends. I thought she had been doing OK with it up until the weekend's party. A few hours in (and a tiny bit of alcohol, but not enough to even get her drunk normally) she grabbed me tight and just started hugging me. Being that she is normally quite shy with physically touching guys, I asked her if everything was OK and she just started sobbing. Long story short, we ended up sleeping cuddled up (spooning) on a futon together. Since then things have just been ridiculously awkward. She doesn't seem to want to be around me at all. She called me and asked to go to dinner just once since then, and that itself was weird because we normally text to set up meals together like that. A mutual friend of ours hosts a gathering of all us friends every weekend, and since then she basically ignores me unless I go up and talk to her first. She set up a movie trip with some of our friends to go see inception, but didn't invite me. I found out because I walked past all our friends as they were gathering up to go and they were confused as to why I wasn't coming as well, so I made up some excuse on the spot. When I asked if she was upset with me a while ago though, she insisted she wasn't. I'm not really sure how to bring this up to her. She's ignored quite a few of my requests to get food together now, and I'm not sure entirely WHY she's upset with me. I'm 95% sure that's the first time she's ever spent a night in bed with another guy (even though we didn't do anything), but I don't know if she's avoiding me because she's mad at me for comforting her like that (even though she seemed really glad for it at the time, twining fingers, etc), or she's embarrassed she acted that way and doesn't like me that way, or if she's upset because I didn't bring it up again afterwards and she really DOES like me (I didn't want her to be confused at the time, her emotions were messed up enough as is with her grieving). What's the best way I can bring this up? more

Resolved Question: Do I have a mental illness?

Long story short, (physically and sexually) abusive childhood, female, 18 I was depressed for quite some time. Suddenly in February, I feel like everything's great. I break up with my boyfriend of a year because i suddenly can't stand him. I was loving my new job, doing great! I started sleeping with someone I work with and we ended up dating for about a month, but he started to severely annoy me as well. April comes along and I ended up sleeping with 4 people in one week, (Alcohol a contributing factor, but I just have a high sex drive.) Then I started dating one of the four for a few weeks until he went back to jail for a probation violation. Up until about June, everything was perfect. I was always on the go, having fun, living life, it was great. Then suddenly I'm stricken with these terrible fits of depression. I quit my job (they were going to promote me) I just sit in the same spot all day sometimes doing nothing. My short term memory is awful, I have piles of all sorts of things around my futon because I have a lot of hobbies but I can't focus so I jump from task to task. My typical day consists of me in my room by myself. And my room is filled with trash and cigarette butts, empty cups etc. I usually eat something small once a day, not because I'm afraid of getting fat, I just have little appetite. But before the depression I would binge eat like there was no tomorrow. Nothing even happened to make me depressed. And now I'm stuck in a sticky situation because I would string a bunch of people along, I guess I was a player. And I did A LOT of things I'm not so proud of. Is this normal? more

Resolved Question: What should I do about my sore tailbone?

I have been having a sore tailbone for about a month now, and I do know why. I recently got a new futon mattress which is thicker than the last one, but it feels more airy. It's hard to explain. The point is, I can feel the bars through the mattress when i do anything on it...sleep, lay down, sit, stand, etc. and I think that that is why I am having this problem. I had no injury that would lead to it so it HAS to be this damn futon/futon mattress. The frame itself is about a year old but like I have said, this mattress is about a month old, same as my tailbone problem. I know what kind of things I can do to stop it like pain relievers and soaking, but why even try that when the pain is just going to come back from sleeping on it and using it everyday. There is no other way to replace the mattress and we don't have the financial means to buy a better futon or buy a bed, so what should I do? If I keep sleeping on it, will my tailbone become severly damaged or anything like that? My dad did buy the cheapest futon frame in the whole store too, so that can also be a contributing factor. Here's a picture of the frame...Thanks :)https://www.boscovs.com/wcsstore/boscovs/images/store/product/images/51679947654029.jpgAlso, I cannot return the mattress because neighbor had given it to me. I love futons and have a small room so if I get a bed then it will leave me no free space :( I also like the avalibility of having a couch in the day, and bed at night. I just think we should have invested into a couple hundred dollar futon because that's what I've read. https://www.boscovs.com/wcsstore/boscovs/images/store/product/images/51679947654029.jpg <--- correct picture more

Resolved Question: What colors are better?

I am redoing my room in the basement, and I am going to have a black and white bed spread, dark brown furniture, a white futon couch, and light brown walls. On the walls I will put a bunch of decorations like ribbon boards, picture frames, mirrors, etc. I want to put some fun colored pillows on the bed and on the futon, but I cant decide what I like best: Option #1: -Pink and red w/ brown and black. Above the futon I would have paper lanterns, probably black and white in case I switch the colors around. Option #2: -Blue and purple w/ black and brown, and the same lanterns above the futon. Option #3: -Yellow and another color. Yellow is my favorite color, but I dont know what to put with it. Any suggestions? Same lanterns above the futon. Can you please tell me what you think of each option? Thanks!! :) more

Resolved Question: What are the odds that my girlfriend will come back to me if I do not take her phone calls or texts?

Recently, I was in a loving and caring relationship that was going places and it all took a turn for the worst. I never cheated or was unkind to this women. I took care of her with bills money, love, lust compassion etc but I have a problem with my indesicivness, and occaissionally I lie by ommision or am not forth coming. Now I am on my last chance and I know that but we were living together for almost a year and were madly in love but I broke her trust. Now I moved back in with my parents and am greiving and she just wants to be friends. She broke up with me over the phone and when i asked her if she wanted my stuff out she said yes. So I abruptly and drunkenly moved all of my stuff out, the bed, the tv, all my clothes and belongings, basically leaving her with a futon and empty space. Days later she says I broke her heart and she rushed home from a vacation spot we were at with her family and came home crying but when she saw i had already moved all of my stuff out she said I should have waited. Now I feel like I should have too. She now has the apt to herself or so I presume. She wants to be friends and has been calling me almost everyday to see how I am doing. My boys say I should just ignore her calls, my girl friends say to take them but dont sound anxious etc....My parents say take the calls. I am just really confused because I do want her back very badly because what I did was wrong and I know I can fix it but I do not want a pity party and make her feel ok-because I am ok, when in reality I want a relationship and it isnt happening right now. I feel hurt, I feel like the problem I have could have been worked out together. I am in therapy for it plus she went with me. Even her mother who loved us together and wanted to see us elope has texted me asking if I am ok. I feel lost. I havent called her or texted her since Friday but she has me, and I am wondering If i just stop taking her calls and ignore her will it make her miss me more and maybe somewhere say 2 weeks or a month down the road get back together? Girls & guys I need your advice thanks. more

Resolved Question: How do you sleep in camp?

Most hunters I know can just throw down a tarp on the ground, throw down a nasty unwashed sleeping bag, and boom! Asleep. I could sleep anywhere at all when I was a child, until I was about 25, but now I have some issues. First of all, I have a phobia about sleeping bags. I feel trapped, like someone could attack me in my sleep, and I couldn't fight back, and they could kill me or torture me easily because I was trapped in my sleeping bag. I carry a sleeping bag in my pack hunting because I am afraid of getting lost and dying of exposure, but I REALLY don't like to be in a sleeping bag. I am very thin, and don't produce a lot of heat. Consequently, I will put on white thermal underwear, a pair of thin socks, a pair of thick socks, gloves, a sweatshirt, and a wool cap on when I go to sleep. If it is really cold, I will put on a pair of insulated underwear over that, in addition to insulated down booties. I will then sleep under two thick blankets. I will sleep in a small tent with a rain fly. I use an old futon mattress to lie on. I actually prefer to use an actual pillow. As I am a very small man, with little ability to fight, I keep a handgun with me when I sleep, usually a small semi automatic, with no round in the chamber, so I won't accidentally shoot myself. I have a lot of fears of sleeping alone in the woods. I fear robbers/killers/Blair Witch/UFO abductions/Strange Noise, etc. I dislike sounds in the night. My ideal solution, is whenever possible I try to persuade someone to sleep with me in the tent. When someone else is with me, I have no problems, and go right to sleep. I like being in the woods. But I really hate sleeping, particularly at night in the woods. This has practically destroyed the pleasure of hunting for me. I have a person who can tell me where to be opening day, but the stress of camping out the night before, really makes for an unpleasant and tired first day. Right now the only way I have of dealing with this, is I really suck up to my friends when I am about to go camping, and I beg, beg, beg one of them to come with me. Does anyone else have these issure about camping?Jeremy Deer eat the shoots of baby trees. Angeles national forest can only hold so many deer, or the forest will die off. 100 years ago, all the deer were killed by mountain lions. Now they are killed by hunters. Given a choice, I would rather be shot by a bullet than killed by a Mountain Lion. But that is just me.Guess Jeremy took off. more

Voting Question: Does anybody know where to get a sofa bed / futon cheap ?

Okay, so I want to re-do my bedroom, and right now I have a queen bed. Im 16 years old, sleeping with me any my chihuahua / min pin mix and hate the fact of how big the bed is. I understand how nice it is sleeping on a big bed, the problem is I don't have that much room in my bedroom. I have a closet, dresser, vanity, and 2 end table type desks. I was looking at the cheapest I saw was 99.99 at target but I heard it was extremely uncomfortable. I haven't talked to my parents about it yet, because I am trying to figure out prices. I do have a job, its just that I dont have much money to spend. Do you know anywhere they sell cheaper sofa beds? I am looking for a black or pink, doesn't matter much on the actual fabric, in black, white, or pink if possible. I figure that if I can get a couch bed I can keep it as a couch until im ready to go to sleep, and even then I will most likely just leave it as a couch most of the time. Any suggestions, etc.,? Thanks so much ! :) more

Resolved Question: Would you let your 20 year old?

Would you let your 20 year old daughter share a bedroom with a male friend? I am in the process of redoing my room and moving things out of here that I don't like and buying new stuff that I do like. I am going to be buying a futon(couch/bed) from Wal-Mart for $119 for my room to replace the stuff I get rid of. My friend that NOW lives with us part time usually sleeps on the living room on the floor, he can sleep on the couch but chooses not to....idk why...guys are weird lol. The futon would be a couch during the day etc to hang out on and watch tv etc but COULD be a bed at night for him to sleep on so he has a little more privacy etc and a decent place to sleep. He is 19 and I am 20 and we are like brother and sister and don't mind sharing etc. There is enough space in my room once I get rid of the desk I never use. We would come up with some room rules etc. And would use the bathroom to change etc. There would be NO hooking up between us...ever..never ever. Would you as a parent allow it? And we have shared a room before at his house, my mom and I were fighting and I shared a room with him and it all went well, we actually liked it. Regardless of whether my mom says he could or not, I am still buying the futon for my room because I would rather have a couch in there than a desk.. more

Resolved Question: Is blood after masturbation normal?

I'm 19, not a virgin. I've been masturbating since I was, oh... 12 maybe? For the last few weeks, I've found blood on the toy I use after I'm done with it. Mind you, I've been using the same toy since the beginning of this year. I thought, at first, that perhaps it was left over from my last cycle, but last night it seemed a little more fresher than that. Granted, I am expecting my period in the next few days. I read on a few sites of women spotting after an intense orgasm. Also, I heard of pregnant women bleeding after masturbating or having sex due to the hormone levels filling the cervix with blood, making it a little more delicate. That's not to say I think I'm pregnant. I just went to the store a month ago for new bras; I'm not a DDD. The other day, one of my non-stretchy cups. would not fit to my chest on the underside, meaning I probably don't fit that cup anymore. I last had sex a little over two months ago and got my period, however short, for the past two months. I had been feeling nauseas for a few weeks [accompanied by abdominal pain], one or two weeks ago, but I'm not nauseas now or lately at all. I'm not sensitive to any sort of smell. I've not experienced any headaches or backaches [save for the ones I wake up with due to this horrible futon]. I havn't been peeing more than usual. My areolas are the same color, my breasts aren't tender etc. Have been experiencing stomach pain- sometimes directly after eating or randomly.** I AM a DDD. I went from DD to DDD and now the cup's too small T~T more

Voting Question: Cat won't stop urinating on my furniture!?

Okay, so my cat will not stop urinating and defecating on my futon. His litter box is spotless. I have literally tried everything. I tried open and covered litter boxes. Different types of litter. I tried enzyme sprays on the futon. I tried aluminum foil, which he surprisingly loves. I tried boundary sprays. I had him checked for medical problems. I did behavior modification (spray bottles, etc.). I'm at my wits end. I'm completely out of ideas. Is there *any* suggestions you can offer? I can't find anything else online. Also, he is already neutered and about 5 months old. more

Resolved Question: He won't think less of me because I'm poor, right?

So, there is this guy I am dating (I guess we are more than just dating..call us lovers, if you will) and I've been to his house twice. He lives 4 hours away from me and I went to his house both times (apart from the first date we had in NYC, which is halfway between us) because I have a roommate who doesn't know I'm gay. ANYWAYS, I'm thinking about telling my roommate my little secret so that my guy can finally come down and visit me. Thing is, he is 25 and has a great job, owns his own 2-story house in a nice neighborhood, owns 2 cars, one of which is extremely fancy, his house is fully furnished, has a massive flatscreen TV, cooks elaborate meals for me, etc. etc. Meanwhile, I live in a sh*tty apt. with my roommate because I am a student and obviously don't have much money..at all. We have a tiny little TV without cable, a futon instead of a couch, I won't be able to cook him anything fancy, etc. Do you think he won't care since he says he really really likes me and that he doesn't invite me to his house just so that we can hook up? I know if what he says is true, he won't mind...but I don't think he's ever been around people who aren't as well off as himself. He grew up in the New England prep-school scene and his parents lives in a house on a 10 acre plot, etc. But, at the same time, he seems very modest and doesn't look down on people.

My room is a smallish medium 12x15, however I am an artistic, ocd/ packrat that needs some major help before my mom goes balistic on my for the state of my room and before I go crazy because it isn't perfect. We recently redid my room back in december- wall color and bed coverings etc. but I didn't get any new furniture because I don't really need it.. I am the kind of person that if someone doesn't want a good piece of furniture and I see a use I'll take it hence I have a lot of furniture in my room..

Resolved Question: Why you think this person's doing this?

Resolved Question: What's your opinion on this situation?

2 people who grew up together as children. Both didnt get much of an education, as in never attending college. One dropped out completely. Then in early adulthood one makes 100,000's - million bucks without a college education and the other remains on welfare, struggling, and poor. The one on welfare starts slandering the one who made it. Lying to others, putting definitions up on a site and visiting it daily to prove that the more successful luckier person is leasing their new luxury car ( which is a lie), dosent have the money they made or lies about where it came from. Utter obsession on the poorer person's part. Somehow the destitute one found a way to get a computer ( despite not working and once being homeless)- probably through one of those rental agencies like they got their other items from.) a cheap futon, a low rent tv) etc... This is how theyre slamming the other person. The poor person is contacting past associates and child hood friends ( both on computer and by phone) and telling them the richer one is a loser and has no money. As in lying to others. On a site of theirs they're making slandering the person 24/7. It's amazing I even found out about this but with how persistant this person is on trying to ruin my reputation it eventually got around, people contacting me, word of mouth, them stalking me, etc.. What do you think is wrong with the one who never got anywhere?Ck, this person knows I did nothing illegal to get this money.. When they found out about this money they split, then this started. Before that, it was a tumultuous "friendship"- I was always the one with more in life than them. Not to sound shallow - but this is the straw that broke the camel's back. As children- this person was in the slums, I was the opposite. Yet we remained level education wise- then I made all this money and they remained the same.cf, that's what i feel this is about- their goal is to make me suffer.. Why else would they go to this extent? I tried to help them as a kid, give them things the person's own family wouldn't and make them feel accepted- it obviously didn't work. There was turmoil from age 10 and up.- On their part solely towards me. But since the money- full blown harrassment campaign. more

Resolved Question: I'm subleasing my apartment, have some questions?

Only three, though! 1) If I throw in a futon, entertainment center, etc. (or say that the apartment comes furnished), do I get my furniture back? Or is that like giving the renter the furniture? 2) What am I responsible for, in terms of subletting my apartment, and what issues is the owner responsible for answering? 3) If I choose not to throw in an furnishings, is the subleasee responsible for the cleanup of the apartment (as I am subletting until the end of MY lease), or do I need to do the cleaning? Thanks so much!I've spoken with my landlord, and he gave me the green light on it. If it is an approved situation, hopefully I won't experience that. (But thanks for the warning - that sucks!

Resolved Question: What's your take my roommate occurrence?

I am in college and have a roommate. We share our room, we both have twin beds. A while ago I bought a futon, it's very nice. I rarely use it because I'm scared of getting it dirty (Yes, I'm going to sell it it was a waste of $200). She and I are not very close. On a weekend she brought her boyfriend to spend five days here. I felt uncomfortable having him here so I removed myself from an awkward situation and went home, I live nearby. I had to go back to my room to grab some things, and I find my futon extended out with food and her blankets on top of it. They have their things, cups, food, etc. all over the room including on my furniture. She is not wearing any clothing, in her robe, and he is in his underwear. Keep in mind they don't know when I may come in. And I did not notify her that I left/when I was coming back. She later complained how small her bed was, and how comfortable my futon was, which I haven't even slept on. Now, I'm the type of person who is really tactful about those things. If I had my boyfriend here I'd make him wear pajamas and a shirt. He would sleep on the futon. He would get dressed in the bathroom, not in front of my roommate. I would abide by school rules and keep him at my side at all times. I would tell him exclusively to not put a finger on any of her things. She is sexually active as she has told me many times, but that's none of my business until they use my furniture which most likely occurred on my futon. Anyway, I don't really care anymore. There's only one month left with her. Just wanted to get some opinions on this occurrence! more

Resolved Question: Am I depressed or is this something else?

All of my friends and family know me as the one who is always laughing and always happy. I'm usually optimistic and active and fun to be around. I'm also known as the nice or sweet girl in the group most times. For the past few months things have just been going downhill. I'm not even sure there is a reason for the changes but they are drastic. I'm noticing and so is everyone around me. I feel like I could break down and cry nearly 80% of the time for no reason at all when before I almost never cried, even for legitimate reasons. I can't concentrate or focus on anything; not in my classes, not in everyday conversations, not to reading, not to movies, etc. I get sidetracked much easier from my tasks. I have a hard time getting myself motivated to do things like my homework or going to class or working out or even showering some days. My friends will invite me to dinner with them and I'll say no and give them some random reason. Then 5 minutes later I'm sitting alone on my futon wondering why I didn't go and being more upset because im alone; it makes no sense. I am constantly stressing out about everything from college to family to friends to when im going to get laundry done and why someone isnt replying to a text or call, everything. I can't get my sleeping patterns right. Sometimes I can't fall asleep at all and pull all nighters, even if I'm tired sometimes I can't sleep. Then other days after full nights of rest I will still feel so exhausted that I might fall asleep sitting upright or feel as if I can't stay awake another second. I have been getting headaches regularly. I have no energy even when I'm not particularly tired. I haven't noticed this personally but two people have recently asked me why I have been snapping at people lately or have said I seem angry a lot lately. This is all just interfering with my life too much and I need to know whats wrong and get it fixed. I don't know what changed. I dont know whats wrong. I dont know who to talk to or what to do. help pleaseno i didnt just enter puberty either asshole. im 20. puberty has come and gone more

Resolved Question: Why did I dismantle my bed?

And store it away sometime today and now I have to lay it (Futon) all out again. Its like hauling a dead elephant round the floor.

Its not just a bed its a flop pad and can be needed at short notice any time. Why did I do that ?? Was this herbally induced OCD. Or is it OCD anyway.?Yes I've lived in Asia.

Resolved Question: Should I forget about her, or befriend her?

What she did kind of hurt a lot.. Here's the story: Saturday, January 16 morning, something kind of bad happened (I'd rather not explain). All I will say is that it would involve school, rumors, and just drama. Well, I would let her borrow my cell phone every night because every night we would talk for hours on end. Well, after that Saturday, we couldn't do anything because she was in trouble with her parents (totally different story). All I could do is sit home and wish I was with her. She told me she was thinking all day about the incident. Things got a little awkward for her. I called her that night at around 11:40 or so to see how she was doing because I got a little nervous. She told me she needed to talk to me, and that she wanted a break from this almost 4 month long relationship. My heart just sunk and I just about collapsed onto my futon. I told her I would've rather spoken in person so I went over to her house about two blocks or so away to talk. She told me things were a little weird right now, and she wanted to take a break. I told her to give me two days, and I will try to fix things. She told me two days, and I left. The next morning, I went over to her house to go to church with her family (like every Sunday). Her parents actually liked me that much to invite me with them to church. Well, I got my phone back, and I looked at the text messages, and I stopped and my heart raced. I looked at the text messages, and the first one I saw in the inbox was, "Looks good, hun!" from one of my friends. I looked at the outbox, and on the first message, it had a picture of her in the text, and at the bottom it read, "How do I look, babe?" I about lost it. She didn't give me that chance, and I knew immediately what happened. I talked to the dude, and told him, "What gives, dude? Why did you take her from me? Did you not know I really cared about her?" He kept giving me this speech that he was sorry and didn't know what to do... I lost it. I wanted to scream and just whatever. That whole day, I tried winning her back at church, at lunch, etc... At about 12AM, she told me to sneak out so we could talk. I did, but my sister and her friend got involved. My sister called my 'friend' and talked to him. My 'friend' later called my phone and wanted to talk to my ex. He broke up with her because it was too much drama. My ex took me back after that, but I felt weird because she took me back only because the dude couldn't take the drama. Well, on Monday, we hung out all day, and at around 12AM, I snuck over again, and we talked. Went into a bunch of questions, and we got a little emotional. I asked her many questions about how she felt. She felt guilty every time she would kiss me, and it just bothered me so much. I asked her, "I don't want you to sugarcoat the answer.. Who do you love more? Me or him?" I would also like to add that the dude she liked was my friend who she met a couple months ago, and barely talked to. She met me a year and a half ago, and we were already going out for four months. Guess who she chose. She chose the complete stranger. Looking back, I just want to be angry, but looking at the times her and I spent felt like a total waste, and I hate it. I want to forget about her, but I can't. I want to befriend her, but I see her and her new boyfriend together, and it just bothers the crap out of me. I got advice from many friends afterward to help me, and I got many answers (two of them in particular)... 1) I could never talk to her again, and just leave her for good. 2) I could be her friend. Who knows? Maybe in the future, we both will have grown up, and maybe we can both give us another shot. What does the public think? more

Resolved Question: Weird to have a couch but no TV?

I have a small 1 bedroom apartment. In the living room, I can fit a couch but there wouldn't be a whole lot of distance between the couch and TV. There's also no cable outlet in that room (cable company would have to come), and the unused electrical outlet is only a 2 prong outlet (so I'd need to get the landlord's approval, then I guess they'd bring their own electrician). In the bedroom, there are already all 3 prong outlets, a cable jack, and space to sit on the bed and watch TV. I don't want to get a futon. So do you think it's weird to have a couch but no TV in the same room? The couch would really just be for reading or when people come over etc. I just wish it could work out to have both in the same room. more

BUt this friday we went out got REALLY drunk and passed out at my friends house on her futon. NOthing happened tho no snugglin or nothing. We were any closer than a foot apart. So now he isnt really payin much attention. If i text him anything i get like a 1 word answer.. He agreed we both had fun but when i said "minus the bed hoggin" hes lke "ya".. I said it was cute and he never textd me back.. So idk what i did wrong i just think thats shady, he was all about me b4 and now its like i dont even exist.. Am i just over analizing it? I guess i should just get the hint.. but im not sure what the hell happend in like 4 days for him to like suddenly lose interest wtf? Is it best injust take whatever his guy vibe is or ak about it?>]well i should add im the one kinda chased him. He doesnt talk at all really except a few 1 liners, hes shy. again i asked him "about friday no probs right?" and of course i get 1 word back "right" more

Resolved Question: My rat seems to be huffing or possibly sneezing, but otherwise completely healthy...?

My new hairless rat (had for almost 3 weeks now, and he's not completely hairless) has just started making some "huffing" noises today, as though he's got snot in his nose and is trying to get it out. I suppose that might be sneezing, I'm not sure. He's acting quite normal: same appetite, same energy, etc...He had some eye crusties today, which he's already cleaned off, but they didn't seem like a big deal. His bedding hasn't been changed in a week (I've been changing it once a week), so I'm wondering if that's why he's sneezing or is he sick? I will have him checked out by the vet tomorrow if he is still making the same noises, but I'm hoping he'll be okay. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated! I'm not sure if this is important, either, but I do have two cats that have been in very close contact with him the past four days or so. They actually love him, and sit on the futon when he comes out. He usually goes out and runs around for a bit while sniffing both of them a lot. They are both very, very healthy cats, but could they possibly have given him something? I'm not sick either, but is it possible for me to make him sick, too? I sound paranoid, but I just adore him and don't want anything to happen to him, especially when he seems so healthy besides the huffing/sneezing/what have you. Once again, any advice would be appreciated! more

Resolved Question: Would you continue to date and consider having a relationship w/a guy with this much baggage?

He's a great guy. We have fun together, he's affectionate, polite, treats me like a lady, cooks, etc. But he has a lot of baggage. He married a single mom (she had a daughter by another man) who cheated on him ONE WEEK before the wedding. Then she cheated on him AGAIN around the time she got pregnant with their other daughter. He suspects this daughter isn't his because again, wife cheated and the kid doesn't look like him. Even though only 1 of these children might be his, he pays child support for both of them and takes them both every other weekend. This week I haven't seen him at all because he had to work Mon, Tues and Wed night and Thurs night - Sunday @ Noon he has his children (i haven't been introduced to them yet, though we've been dating since August) Between paying rent, child support, buying the children stuff when they stay with him, he's broke a lot. Also, he has a one bedroom apartment, but he sleeps on the futon in the living room and the bedroom he set up for the girls. So even when they're not staying with him, he sleeps on the futon in the living room and so do I when I stay the night. I've never met his ex-wife, but from what I've seen and heard of her, she seems to use these children to manipulate him. I suspect he doesn't want me to meet the kids because then she'll know he's dating someone else and give him grief (even though SHE has a boyfriend that her kids know) more

Resolved Question: OK to deny non-existent repairs to tenant?

So here's my dilema. I'm a landlord. The tenant has been complaining about little heat in one room. I had licensed heating company come check it and they stated that there is nothing wrong with the heating system and that all rooms are heated very well. When I was there, I noticed nothing wrong either. The tenant won't except that there's nothing wrong. She now wants to call the electricity company. I told her that the electric company has nothing to do with the heat in the house and that the company that came to check the system were recommended contractors of the electric company. Now my tenant is stating that I am unwilling to help with the situation and it should be ok to break the lease. She has been threatening to break the lease and keeps coming up with problems with the house that maintenance can't duplicate. If you visited the home, you would see that she has no chairs, or couches, decorations, etc. In a 3 bedroom, living room, den, and dining room townhome, only the living room has stuff in it...a futon, tv, toys. I've taken pictures and have phone records, text messages, maintenance logs, etc. to prove my case. Oh and she hasn't paid rent for the month and wants to be compensated for not having heat in one room in which it is absolutely heated, and wants to lower rent, and complained about electric bill. Am I still responsible for paying for ANOTHER heating company to come to the home and check out the heat AGAIN?Yes, she has requested a reduction in rent, which I denied. more

Resolved Question: Could anything possibly have gone wrong based on this scenario..waking up naked with another woman in the?

basement after a wild party? I will sum up, it is a bit long, so please be patient: As some of you know, my wife had left for some time (reasons to be discussed at a later time) My friend "B", a lovely mutual friend of ours invited me a party. It was a wild time with dancing, drinking games, poker etc. After way to many drinks, the "Truth or Dare" game was started. We were dared to go down in the dark basement for 10 minutes with no lights on. Well they either forgot about us or all passed our because no one came to get us. I awoke abrubtly by the feel of a warm tongue and heavy breathing. I remember yelling "No more" and " Gee woman, is not 4 times enough!". I soon realized it was the German Shepard of the house waking me up. It seems I had fallen asleep on his beat up half duct taped bean bag bed. He must have wanted it back. I also realized that I was stark naked, in the fetal position, and that my bean bag was somehow attached to the real bean bag by said duct tape. After painfully removing myself. I also noticed "B" was over on the futon. Someone had obviously checked on us in the night because she was covered in a nice soft comforter, and I had been covered with a damp, smelly used bath towel from the adjoining laundry room. She was also semi-nude, but wearing only the shirt I had on the night before. I quickly got dressed, gave the dog a biscuit , and left quickly. I left my shirt because I did not want to wake her. Does it sound like anything weird or "kinky" went on?Scoundy-- It was last minute. I really did not want to go out. There's also the chance the dog was a female. I really did not check. more

Resolved Question: Help Designers!! I just bought a Burgundy Leather Sofa and Love-seat?
