Married for 19 years, BUT I'm now in love with my girlfriend?
The 2010 Royal Rumble is this-coming Sunday. We have some world title matches, some "eh" diva matches, and everyone's favorite, the 30-man Royal Rumble match. Lots of people have predictions on who will win what, but I'd like to see what other WWE fans think of my predictions. Maryse vs. Gail Kim for the vacant Divas Championship - While I think the Divas title is to the Women's title as the US title is to the WWE title... I'd like to see a diva with actual in-ring skills win, which in this case is Gail Kim. Maryse is getting a bit better, but Gail showed she has the moves, especially in TNA when they knew how to use her unlike WWE does. So I say Gail wins the Divas title Mickie James vs. Michelle McCool for Michelle's Women's Championship - Again, I'd like to see the diva with real wrestling prowess win, which in this case is Mickie James. She's been kind of going downhill a little lately but she's still better than Michelle, who like 95% of the divas is only there for eyecandy and not cause she knows how to wrestle well all the time Christian vs. Ezekiel Jackson for Christian's ECW Championship - In this case, I say Ezekiel Jackson as the winner. He's a dominant wrestler and unlike Christian, deserves a shot at the title. Christian didn't deserve to win the ECW title that easily. So due to that, and that its time for a change, I say Big Zeke to win Undertaker vs. Rey Mysterio for Undertaker's World Heavyweight Championship - Undertaker, much like Christian with ECW and Cena frequently with the WWE title... Didn't really deserve to win the title. Rey's been long overdue for another world title, and while Taker's not that bad, I'd like to see him lose it so he can have his WrestleMania match be a non-title match (especially since a lot of people think it'll be Taker vs. Cena at WM). So I think Rey will pull out the underdog thing again and win the World title for a 2nd time. Randy Orton vs. Sheamus for Sheamus' WWE Championship - I think Sheamus' shocking run as WWE champ is over. And I think Orton will simply put, win back the WWE title. Especially since there's a plot I think could work with that. And also, Cena and Orton can't face each other if one of them is WWE champion, so if Orton wins, no title for Cena! XD It didn't just work for Orton, if I remember correctly, it worked both ways. Orton and Cena couldn't face each other for the title, so... Go Randy! The Royal Rumble Match - Frankly, I'd love to see someone worthy win, who deserves a shot. Like John Morrison, MVP, etc. But I think the winner should be Kofi Kingston. especially since he's had a feud with Randy and if Randy wins the WWE title... There ya go. Kofi vs. Randy again but for the title, at WrestleMania. So go Kofi! Tell me what you think of this, guys.
What do you think of my WWE Royal Rumble predictions?
I'm asking this in marriage and divorce because you probably know just as well as the law and ethics people. He was working two jobs at the time that the child support amount was decided. He had planned to quit his second job (and had already put in his two weeks notice) until we found out the amount he had to pay a month. We realized that there was no way that he could pay that a month and we would still be able to pay our bills every month. He talked with his boss and kept his job. He also got a raise at the job he declared shortly after the order was in place. During all of that, the state never sent anything about him not declaring his other source of income to his ex or the child support agency. Obviously the ex didn't know about it his other job or the raise. He set up his payments to come directly out of his check at the job that he had declared and nothing else was ever said. He also has arrears to pay because the mother never filed for child support, but when he filed for his rights she suddenly wanted BACK child support! He wasn't being allowed to see his daughter so he went to court to get his rights and ended up in debt for something that was never ordered. The magistrate ordered that he had to pay back to the date that he filed so he is paying for nearly a year that he didn't see his daughter. My husband just got a new job where he will be making a lot more, but he isn't quitting the old one that is already declared through child support. We have been getting withholding notices in the mail to notify him that his payments (and a percentage of his arrears) are being taken from his check. We already knew that, but I noticed an addendum that says he is required to report any changes to his income (or new jobs) that can be subject to withholding. Now, I am assuming that this is for those people who are finding ways around paying their support. He is not. It is paid in full every month. Does he still have to declare his new job? If he declares it to the state, will the ex be notified? Will the state automatically modify his support order to reflect his higher wages? It isn't that he is trying to avoid supporting his child. It is that he and I both work two jobs to support our daughter and his daughter while his ex doesn't even have a job. She lives with her dad and lets her dad and her new boyfriend (and father of her new child) pay for everything for her kids. The money that she receives is spent on beer and weed. (We couldn't afford to keep going with the case to have drug testing done so we had to settle it with an agreement) I, THE STEP MOM, bought all the clothes for the child with my own money because I couldn't stand to see her in the rags her mother sends her in. The mother is perfectly able to get a job, but she won't and we don't want any more of the money my husband works hard for to go to that trashy woman. We want it to go directly to the poor little girl that is unfortunate enough to have her for a mother. (She used to be a decent woman from what I hear, but has obviously gone downhill)
Re-post, sorry! Husband's child support issues! Can he be fined for not reporting his new job?
I'm a 25 yr old girl married to a 35 yr old guy for the past three years. From the beginning he was never the horn dog type and I liked that about him cuz i felt like I could trust him to not be chasing after other women all the time. The sex was good initially, but over the three years of our marriage it's just gone completely downhill. He's had issues with a few of the jobs that he's had, and was unemployed for 6 months. During those times the sex is non-exsistent. Now he has a pretty decent job but he says he hates it and complains about it all the time. I feel like i'm always the one initiating sex and he gives me all these excuses as to why he doesnt want to. "He's stressed about work, he can't get his job off his mind, he doesn't feel good, he's hungry, he's too full, he has to pee, his head hurts, he's tired, etc....Seriously? I tried to be patient at first, but there's a point after being rejected night after night after night that you start to give up and get really resentful about the whole thing. I'm not perfect but I consider myself a decent looking girl. My question to you guys is whether men can really go through a funk like this that lasts for years, or if it could be that he's just bored of having sex with me? Let me just add that I have tried bringing up toys and lingerie and he says "That stuff if for old couples who are bored with each other and need that kinda crap to get excited.." Umm, hello?
Question for all the married guys..?
I am have been married a year now to a 32 year old woman--I'm 25. The first year we were together, everything was going excellent, but after we were officially married, everything seemed to slide downhill. Not only does my wife simply not want to have sex, she doesn't even want to cuddle or be romanced! If she was an author, the title of her book would probably be "101 Elaborate Excuses Not to Have Sex." She says cuddling makes her feel "juvenile" and "like a teenager." And when I kiss her, she seems just...unaffected. I talked to her about why she's so emotionally distant, but she always gives me the "It's not you, it's me" script, and as far as sex goes, she says that she's just doesn't enjoy sex anymore with anyone, and doesn't see why it's so important for a relationship--that we can get along just fine without the sex. She said that she was initially having sex with me just so that I'd be happy, but now that it's just gotten tiring. This month is going to mark a full NINE MONTHS since we've had sex, and out of desperation, I told her, "You know what, I don't know exactly what planet you live on where you think a 25 year old male is going to willfully enter any relationship and have absolute zero sex for years on end--and zero physical contact...but it sure isn't the planet I live on. You have 3 options: a) go see a psychiatrist or a gynecologist, b) file for divorce, or c) don't get upset when you start finding unfamiliar numbers in my cell phone because you've been fairly warned. We're supposed to be husband and wife, not 2 middle school children who act like physical contact with each other is inappropriate!" Now she's extremely angry with me, saying that I'm being self centered to make a demand like that, and that sex isn't everything. I do realize it isn't everything, but come on...what's wrong with at least once a month? Or is she right?applgrrl1: That is a fair point you made about me being possibly bad in bed... However, I take into consideration that she said that she had sex with her ex husband only once or twice a year, but I logically assumed it was that way because he was abusive towards her. Given that, I can't say that it's necessarily me being unable to satisfy her in bed, if she's already said her previous marriage was the same way. Thanks for your input, though.
Is this being unreasonable?
I have been married 12yrs and have two beautiful kids. My marriage has been rocky over the years (due to both of us) and I now know there is no "special connection" like there should be. I can remember times when my wife would say "get off me" when I would roll over and hug her while in bed. After the kids were born, things went downhill for me due to lack of intimacy. I tried over and over and got rejected a lot. Someone else has entered my life who wants to be with me. She provides all these things and more. I have made a mistake by breaking my marriage vows, but this other woman makes me so happy. I confessed to my wife and we are trying to work things out, but it seems like things are not changing (we don't talk a lot) and it's hard for me to get this other woman off my mind. This other woman is younger than I am and doesn't promise marriage, but has said she wants to date and live together. I don't know what to do. The thought of divorce scares me, as well as no certain future with the woman who makes me happy. Do all marriages end up with both spouses sitting silent with no real connection or am I missing out? Help!
What should a man do in this situation?
Often people today will be pessimistic about modern society and government. We all moan about society going downhill, people being selfish, cold, uncaring and only caring for themselves in all aspects of life, we all complain about 'the corporations' and their evils, 'raping' the world for its resources and us 'consumers' (I hate that term) for our money, and stopping at nothing to obtain more wealth. Well, events like the earthquake in Haiti, in my opinion, really bring out the good nature that we must all have in us somewhere. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Haiti_earthquake "Peruvian companies are proving food donations and other basic aid" "The Argentine Air Force field mobile hospital, already deployed at Port-au-Prince, was the only medical facility still open" "The U.S. Army's 1st Battalion, 73rd Infantry from Fort Bragg, North Carolina, has been scheduled to deploy Friday along with the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson" "At least 19 countries, including Canada, the United States, Mexico, France, Ireland, the Netherlands, Iceland, China, Spain, the United Kingdom, Peru, Chile, Ecuador and Brazil pledged manpower, supplies or financial aid to Haiti" Now you may say that most of this is from governments (spending OUR TAX MONEY SHOCK HORROR!), but governments are of course under no obligation to send aid. I don't believe that aid is a simple vote winner, either, although it will possibly damage a governments reputation if it does not give aid. However it should be noticed that only a few of the advanced economies of the world are giving aid to Haiti, and those that aren't are not being internationally (or domestically) criticised. Should we really be so pessimistic about our modern world? And it is both genders who are receiving aid. The only discrimination I think that is taking place is probably to do with pregnant women receiving priority treatment :)The pregnant women thing was just a joke relevant to the attitude of this section
Are we really as selfish as we all say we are?
This isn't normal for me. In fact I usually deal with everything internally, so when I take a step back and realize that the girl has driven me to these lengths, I can safely say that she's something special. So erm.. I met Emma a few months back, the lowdown is she's a virgin, never been in a relationship, completely purehearted and a rare drinker too. I've had plenty of other options in women but she stood out to me. Anyway we got talking, we talked alot for a month. Hours straight, in person, over facebook, eventually via txt. On new years we kissed on the 12, snow came down and we spent the night together (not quite like that.) So basically, she has me completely head over heels. Obviously things go downhill at this point or I wouldn't be on this damn website. We agreed to go official, then the next day she calls me up and says she wants to slow things down, no longer official. Fair enough. She's never had a boyfriend and we took alot of steps for one night but a week passes of silence and I stopped calling to give her space. Next time I see her is when I'm modelling for a film shoot and she barely even wants to speak to me! I took her aside and all she could muster was a 'sorry, I've been busy'. College is nearly over. And now there's no more tension when we speak, we laugh and make fun of each other but I feel like she's pushing me aside. She doesn't call, she can't say nice things in a serious way. I mean, am I becoming a friend? Everytime I even mention us being together she smiles and throws it aside. Claimed she wanted to get to know me better first a while ago but there's something else going on here. Her mates were all pressurizing her into it, I know that. She's a stubborn girl and her mum would slap me silly if she found out, but she came to a rave with me so she's not afraid to rebel. Am I going crazy? Her reluctancy to move forward is killing me. I don't even wanna get into her pants, I just see her as my girl. Will she trust me over time? I'm taking her to lunch this weekend, much more gets done in person. If you could give me another perspective on this, tell me I'm an idiot, tell me I'm wasting my time, just tell me what you guys think (don't tell me to talk to her cos I've tried and it solves nothing.) I guess I deserve this crap after the hearts I broke last year. Anyway, burn me. Finze1
Ok guys, let's hear what you've got. Am I going crazy?
Remember I said I'd be taking a couple of my dogs to 2 new in town vets and purposely leave out the fact they were raw fed until after I inquired about how they felt about a raw diet? WELL...Friday afternoon I did! 1st Vet: After waiting for a while because they couldn't find me in the computer, I was invited back. The vet (who will remain nameless) couldn't believe how good Itor looked for his age and commented on how "nice" of a dog he is...(yeah right). I asked about how he felt about a raw diet and he went on about a 15 minute tirade of how it's deadly and nearly animal abuse and how my dogs could die of Salmonella or E. Coli if switched to a raw diet. I asked if he had ever treated dogs with Salmonella or E. Coli poisoning he said yes, one case of E. Coli which was fatal...the cause? The dog ate recalled DOG FOOD...way to drive home your point there doc! Then I dropped the bomb: "Well Itor was weaned on raw hamburger as a 4 week old puppy and has eaten raw ever since..."...his response "Well...if he's doing good on it, and he seemingly is, I wouldn't change anything". 2nd Vet: This place was a little more laid back, not as Ritzy...had a homey feel, I liked it! We went back to the exam room and everything was what you'd expect, I got a multitude of compliments from the Techs and Vet on Hannibal and his boyish handsomeness and great looking coat and muscle tone and again on Itor's niceness -chuckles under breath-. So at the end of the "Everything looks GREAT" examination, I asked about the raw diet! This time I was told the same banter, E. Coli, Salmonella...I again asked if she had ever treated a dog with either ailment, she admitted no she had not. She did however recall a woman who shows Amstaffs in my city (I've heard of her). She switched to raw (didn't know you were supposed to feed organ meats) and her dogs went downhill (duh) and she finally switched back to kibble. The vet then told me she had "Never seen a dog fed a raw diet that impressed" her. I then told her the dogs she'd just examined had been fed a raw diet since 4-8 weeks of age...her response was "Well I can't say I've never seen a raw fed dog who didn't impress me anymore!". Legit: For those of you who feed raw diets, what do your vets think? For those who do not, Monday, why don't you call in and ask what your vets think about a properly fed raw diet (one with organ and bone fed)? I'm sure the answers will be hilarious! And lastly for those AGAINST raw feeding, are your reasons the same as these vets, are you worried most about e. coli/salmonella...or is there something else that bothers you? No TD's from me, everybody is welcomed to answer!Real Dog Food! http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2782/4260453082_fa7a77b694.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2802/4260452850_d29e167b41_m.jpg An "unbalanced" raw diet has turned this: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2552/4193579303_7548bc2687_m.jpg Into this this 45 pound mongrel (and 4mo and 27 days), haha: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2732/4260452606_7cebe189f6_m.jpgFrank? Uhhh Google Dr. Billinghurst...NEXT...PSPP that's why you don't feed massive amounts of liver...again, common sense goes a long way xD We're not talking about hack job throw a dog some raw chicken, we're talking about appropriately proportioned meals that overtime give the dog the nutrients it requires. Also as far as dogs being omnivores (which they're not and have never been) I won't go there...Biology 101...at the very most, dogs could be considered Facultative Carnivores (animals who're carnivores but can digest some plant material). Dogs are listed as obligate carnivores in the book "Mammals: Carnivores. Duane E. Ullrey. Encyclopedia of Animal Science". Just happened to look that up earlier today on the bookshelf! =)
Raw diet + Vets! My little experiment + Some thought provoking questions!?
please don't judge me for what i am about to write, i'm Simply expressing my feelings I have a new 4 months old son 1st child for me second child for my b/f he has a 6 years old girl, Me and him do not live together due to financial reasons. When i became pregnant we were Living in the same apt but once the pregnancy came he lost his job at 5 months and i was simply not making enough income so I went back home to my parents, ever since then everything has just gone downhill, I feel like our relationship is no longer a romantic relationship and has all of a sudden turned into a Business Transaction. He makes it seem like it's a job for him to come and spend quality time with me or our 4 month old. like i mentioned before he has a 6 year old girl from a previous relationship that ended 3 years ago (that relationship lasted 7 years prior to their break-up 3 years ago) I can't help but feel an immense amount of jealousy when he spends time with his daughter and baby momma. I wish he would bring his daughter along to spend time with me and our son, that way the 4 of us can work on making the relationships amongst us better However he spends his time alone with his daughter and the bm, he claims that it's because his daughter aways wants mom and dad to come together places. I know that im being selfish with my feelings but i cant help but think what goes on when the 3 of them are still going out doing family things. I'm terrified to think in my heart that maybe he secretly wishes the 3 of them would still be together as a family. I think now that me and my son have entered the picture my b/f has started to reflect on he previous failed relatinship and so has she and i believe all of sudden they are reliving emotions that maybe were out of sight until i came along
I need advice I have a 4 months old and am having jealousy issues with the other woman?
their physical appeal? I've seen statements by men here saying that a woman "peaks" at 25, that it's "all downhill" for women after 26. I wonder if there is a shelf life for men....
