Hello! I recently got married over a year ago. I have had this friend for awhile since then (around 5 years). She was a bridesmaid in my wedding and was a "best" friend. After I got married she really started being negative, judgmental, etc. towards me. All she would text/Facebook would be rude, immature comments, so I deleted her off Facebook and stopped texting her. She doesn't get it even though I say "stop being negative, you need to grow up and quit being immature, etc." I'm perfectly happy, and it has not affected me to lose her as a friend. I just was wondering has anybody else experienced the same thing or maybe what her problem is? If somebody has gone through it I want to say NOBODY deserved a person that puts people down in their life so sometimes the best choice is to lose a friend instead of being in a situation where negativity is making you feel bad... you don't deserve it!

I have had a rash on my belly for a few weeks. It gradually spread to my back / neck slightly and arms and arm pits. It isn't itchy but are like pinkish red scaly spots everywhere. My husband says it looks like the chicken pox. Should I see a doctor or did I just get into something that irritated my skin? Thanks for all help!

Hello, my husband and I just got married not too long ago. The house is a mess and we plan on starting remodeling this month. I'm looking forward to all the things we are going to do but am scared we will never even start. We are both busy and I fear we will keep putting it off. I don't want this to get in the way of our marriage or put a stain on it. Any advice or help?

We both love the band Alabama and older country, but are having a tough time deciding which Alabama song. The toss up is between "There's No Way" and "How do you fall in love". Which song would be better? Or any other older country love song suggestions? Thanks!

Hello! I'm creating a cd for my father/daughter wedding dance in June. We are starting out with "Butterfly Kisses" then switching about 2min in to some faster songs we can really shake it to and make people laugh. Any songs you recommend? Have you seen a "surprise" dance before, any recommendations? Thanks!

Hello! I want the pros vs cons on using fake compared to real flowers. I am not a big flower person, what do you recommend or what have your past experiences been? What is easier, cheaper, and the best overall. Maybe if I go with fake flowers for the bridesmaids & a real bouquet for myself? HELP! Thanks ahead of time!

Hello! We have a bridal party of 5 people total on each side, but are struggling with the flower girl & ring bearer decision. I was wondering if people have any other ideas to do instead of having kids in the wedding. We have a lot of nieces & nephews and didn't want to pick just 2 because I feel it would be leaving kids out, so we are trying to find options and don't involve the kids. Thanks for any suggestions!

Hello! We recently became engaged after dating over a year, I am beyond happy. Recently though I think maybe the stress is getting to me and I'm getting kinda emotional/sad and just wanting to make sure I'm making the right decision. I know I am happy and couldn't ask for a better man, just don't know if being emotional is normal after getting engaged? Help please! Thanks!

We are having a more western wedding and my fiancee wants to wear black dress pants, black vest, colored shirt, and tie instead of a tux. Is this ok? I'm not sure about the whole no-tux thing. Any opinions, advice, etc? I guess I should let him wear what he wants, will it look too casual even if I'm in a wedding gown? Thanks!

My fiancée and I just got engaged recently and were looking to have the wedding the end of May/start of June. That is about 4 months.... Is that too short of a notice and too short to plan a wedding? Or would you recommend waiting later in the summer maybe the end of August? Thanks!

Hello! We have been dating a year coming up this February. We have talked about the future and are both on the same page 99% of the time. He has hinted about our future together but not sure. What is the time frame on an usual proposal and are there any obvious hints it will happen soon? I'm getting impatient!

Hello! For the past few weeks I have had a "sick sounding cough", coughing up mucus, and most recently a SEVERE sore throat. Also a runny nose, congestion, sore tonsils/lymph nodes. I went to our walk in nurse office and they said to take Mucinex. What are some other severe allergy reliefs? I have never had allergies in my life, but it makes sense because our weeds/flowers/grass is abundant this year. Could it be something else though? Should I pursue more medical help? Thanks for any and all answers! Any other advice would be beneficial.

Hello! I am headed to the Tacoma/Seattle, Washington area soon with my boyfriend.... I have no ideas on where the must-see spots to go are. We are for sure going to the space needle, pikes, market, but is there some other hidden jewels around the area? Even a little drive is ok, but I'm trying to keep the drive under 2hrs.... any answers would be much appreciated! Thank you!

Hello! At the beginning of this year, I have fallen in love with the most amazing man I could ever dream of. He has been giving out "hints" and even asked one time if I was catching on to the hints. He would say things like "when I reach the level where my heart is completely open, you will be wearing something on your hand" or talking/thinking about the future. He said before he is being serious about when he talks about things like that... Anyways, in the late summer we are taking a trip, and he has said he is nervous for that month because it's his "first time traveling with a woman". It makes me wonder, do you think he is going to propose on the trip, or is he truly just nervous about traveling? Or maybe he will propose later in the year? Any thoughts, this is my first time actually being in love so am not sure.

I like this one great guy; we have gone out on five dates so far. I want to nonchalantly ask or hint if he likes me like that. I am usually very outspoken with guys, but with this one guy, I have butterflies and get nervous kinda because I like him a lot. Any suggestions on how to casually ask or hint if he likes me and wants to date me. Thanks!

I have been doing research and not sure if I should visit a doctor.

My symptoms:

Blood in the urine (happened yesterday then again today)

Swollen tongue

Abdominal pain/bloating

Hurts to pee

Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks

I have went out on three dates with this wonderful guy. We have great chemistry, and I think he likes me. I have been trying to hint if he likes me like dating wise or not, but not sure he is picking up on the tips. Is it too early to tell if he likes me like that? How can I ask but not seem too forceful if he likes me enough to date me?

I met a guy offline, and we have been texting for a few weeks quite alot. We went out on our first date, and had a quite enjoyable, fun time! At the end of the date, the guy gave me a hug. Does that mean he likes me? He also asked if I wanted to do something the following weekend. Help, I am not good at reading if a guy likes me!

I normally do not ask for advice but feel I need to right now. I have been in a relationship with a wonderful guy for 3 months. We live about an hour & half away from each other and are not at the point in our life where we want to move. He has been saying recently the distance is hard on him, and I agree, it is hard on me too. He has been thinking, and I think he wants to find somebody that lives in his town and that he can see more than a few times each month, despite our constant talking every day. I really care about him so much and know that if I have to move on it will hurt but is possible over time. Is my relationship worth fighting for? Any tips to help keep it together, or is it time we each moved on? Any other long-distance tips?

Hello! I am having my tonsils removed at the end of the week and need some advice. How much weight should I expect to lose? Any foods I should or should not eat? Any other tips or anything would be greatly appreciated! Have a good day!
