I work for a property preservation company, performing home and yard work. An average day consists of driving about 300 miles and stopping to do several jobs on that route. I am paid by the hour, in the vehicle or out of it. On average, I work 60-80 hours a week. I have worked as many as 108 hours in one week. I do not receive overtime pay, even though it has been brought to my boss' attention. My question is: Am I entitled to overtime pay after 40 hours, and am I entitled to back wages?

I have been dating this woman for 7 months...we broke up for a week but got back together and have been dating for 2 months since then. We had a really great relationship before we broke up...but she began to distance herself from me and I broke up with her because there was little to no communication. I missed her a lot and realized that I loved her more than I had thought so I contacted her and we talked and decided to try it again. Since then we have slept together twice and I rarely see her although she texts me every day and says she loves me and misses me. I have told her that I want more out of the relationship and that I can't make it work by myself. She told me that she was convinced we would get married and be together forever but she closed her heart when we broke up and she doesn't know how to open it up again and she is scared to get hurt. I am done everything I can to show her I love her and want to be with her exclusively..forever. She always says she is confused and doesn't know what to do...says she is heartbroken at the thought of losing me but I find that I am putting a wall up now because I don't want to get hurt...it hurts to not see her and have physical contact...although when we do see eachother it is really good....good visits and passionate kisses and cuddling...although nothing else. I am alright with not having sex but I need to be fufilled emotionally and physically otherwise. I just don't know what to do anymore...I love her with all my heart and I don't want to lose her but I think maybe I need to end it...maybe that will bring her back...maybe she will want to be with me if I am not so available? I don't think it should be so hard for her to decide what she wants and if she doesn't want to be with me I could deal with that if I knew it for sure...I feel like I am getting mixed signals. Any advice would be greatly appreciated...thank you.

Things have been rough with my gf lately because of talking to my ex and not being physically close with gf around my ex when we would see her about 3 months ago. We have been together 7 months. I had some weirdness but I am totally over it now. Things were getting a lot better when out of the blue one of her co-workers told her I called my ex and told her I love her still. It absolutely did not happen but it looks really bad to my gf. Co-worker is friends with my ex and they are trying to break us up I suspect. I have tried to talk to my gf about this but she is confused and doesn't know what to believe and she doesn't know how to trust me now because she thinks I am gonna hurt her. I tell her how much I love her and that I have no feelings for my ex...don't want to get back with her or anything. We are still "together" but it doesn't feel like it to me. I confronted the co-worker whom I was friends with and she lied about at first and then admitted to saying it. I told her off and dont speak to her anymore and I told my gf what the deal was and how it went down but she is still distancing herself from me. She says she loves me and misses me though. I enjoy sewing and I made her a really nice hooded fleece sweatshirt(from a pattern so it is nice), I want to surprise her with that and roses at her work when she gets there because I won't see her for Christmas. Is that going overboard...I don't want to push her away if she needs some time and space. What do you think?

My girlfriend works with a woman who is friends with my ex. This woman tells her things about me that are not true. Examples are, telling her that I told my ex that I still love her which I never did and telling her that I was at the bar when I was not. This has made my girlfriend question my credibility and whether or not she can trust me or believe me when I tell her I do not love my ex. I truly love my girlfriend and we have been through a rough time about a month ago. I am worried that I will lose my girlfriend because she is scared to open up to me or give 100% to our relationship since this happened. I don't go to the bars or talk to my ex at all and I don't know what to do anymore. This has been going on for a month and I recently figured out who has been telling her these things. We have been together for 7 months and had a great relationship before this all happened. I have no idea what to do anymore. Please help!

I have been with my gf for 7 months. We went through a period of not communicating and broke up for a week or two. She rents a room from a friends brother at his house and when we were broken up she spent a lot of time with him...not really dating but spending time together. We have gotten back together and have talked about everything and things are going well now. My problem is that she still lives in this mans house and it really bothers me. I trust her and she says they never slept together, but I feel like he wants to be with her and I don't know if she has told him that we are together. She tells me she loves me and misses me, but I find myself wondering what she is letting him believe or what she has told him. I told her I am not comfortable with that living arrangement and I asked her to move out as soon as possible. I don't want to seem controlling, but I want to spend more time with her and I love her very much. I have made changes in my life to help her feel better about who I am talking to or what I am doing, and I would like her to help me to feel better about this situation. How do I deal with this without being "that guy"? I have been hurt in other relationships and I find it hard to not think about her or wonder where she is if i don't hear from her. I trust her and I don't feel that there is anything going on that I am unaware of but I want to spend more time with her and I want her to feel good about it. I don't want to put myself in a posistion to get hurt or taken advantage of. Any advice is much appreciated.

A woman who I was friends with for over a year, and dated for the last 4 months, has decided that my ex is too much a part of my life for us to be together. I want to show her that I want to be with only her. How can I help her realize this? We have an amazing connection on different levels, and I don't want to lose this. I talk to my ex occasionally, and we are friends, but I left her to be with this woman. Should I try to let it go? Should I pursue her? I don't know what to do. How can someones feelings change so fast? 10 days ago everything seemed great.

I have become good friends with my ex-girlfriend's friend and we would like to date eachother. I was with my ex for 3 years and never cheated on her, and we had a good relationship, but things just were not working. The breakup was a lot harder for her, and I think I had already in my mind gotten over it before it actually happened. This friend and I get along great, have a lot in common, want the same things in life, and are very attracted to eachother. I don't want to let this great woman out of my life, but I don't how my ex will deal with us dating. Please help!
