Can a man be attracted to other women and still be committed?
I've been with him for 4 years and 3 months. I forgot how the topic got started but he told me, "Yes. I'm attracted to other women." He's been saying "I love you." everyday for 3 1/2 years, but I've never heard him say that he's attracted to other women.
I think it's okay if he thinks other women are attractive-- but when he says "I'm attracted to other women..." it just doesn't sound the same. (I'm hearing a difference between "attractive" and "attracted")
Is he saying,
1. "Yes, I think other women are attractive" or is he saying,
2. "I'm attracted to other women-- and I WANT to go after them, but you're not going to be okay with that" ?
Which he's taking into consideration that we have an actual relationship. But if I said "Go for it." would he really just go-- or would he stop and ponder about the relationship and choose not to go even though he's "attracted."
3 AnswersSingles & Dating9 years agoShould I let my boyfriend keep me away from other people?
There was a birth complication when I was born. I wasn't getting oxygen, so my brain wasn't getting oxygen. I have partial complex epilepsy because I'm brain-dead in a small part of the brain. (I literally have dead tissues where functioning part should be.) My boyfriend of over 4 years thinks I have no filter and say whatever comes out of my mouth. He's been keeping me away from other people-- at least away from other people when I'm with him. I always thought it was because he's been too busy to go out a lot. (he owns 2 businesses and an accounting practice.) and he once told me he didn't like large crowds because he has anxiety. But he recently told me he doesn't want to be around me around other people because I don't know what I'm saying. It's been 4 years & I never figured it out until he told me straight out that he keeps me away and why he keeps me away. (my judgement is off, too.. sometimes I can't distinguish reality from what I want to believe-- & I can't read facial expressions-- which is why i don't know if i'm saying something weird)
Most of my brain works. I have an English BA. Math was my worse subject, but I finished it through calculus, and I'm studying for my LSATs for law school. My boyfriend just thinks I shouldn't be around people.
He says he loves me, and loves most things about me. He says that he knows there are some things he does that bothers me. I don't like him biting his nails, so I just nicely pull his hand away when he starts to do it subconsciously.
This is different. I feel like he's locking me away in a closet. Is this relationship even salvageable? We've talked about marriage, where we're living, kids, pets, money, etc. But now I'm questioning if he's going to try to "fix" me, "control" me, or just lock me up for the next 50 years of our lives.
Is this relationship salvageable? and Can I be "fixed"?
2 AnswersSingles & Dating10 years agoHow to restore my blackberry to an earlier time?
I accidentally deleted an important note off of my blackberry. I didn't back it up on my computer, and it was the only note I accidentally deleted. On my phone, under "options" there is "mobile backup," If I select that, it will show the date and time of the "last sync"-- which I'm assuming is an automatic back up feature? The last time it synced was BEFORE I accidentally deleted the important notes, so, how do I restore my phone to that time?
1 AnswerPDAs & Handhelds10 years agoHow to change "connections" name wireless properties on windows 7?
Somehow, my computer always shows the internet connection as "name." (I'm not using the real last name that it actually is.) I know I accidentally set this, but I don't know how I did it. It is not the name of any wireless connection, and it is not the name of my computer. When I click on the bottom right corner at the "internet access" icon, all the available connections show up. At the very top, it tells me what I am currently connected to. IN BETWEEN, those, in faded gray is the name that I can't change in faded gray.
NAME ^
When click the "^" icon, the available networks are hidden, and when I click that same icon icon that now looks like "v" ... the available networks are shown again.
I hope I'm being clear that that specific name is not the name of any wireless connection available within range of my computer and it is not the name of my computer.
What is that, and how do I change it?
It's not offline-- It's made like the "category" title-- with all the available wireless networks indented below it.
1 AnswerComputer Networking10 years agoShould I tell employers I'm disabled if the application asks that?
I'm educated with years of experience. A job application asks if I'm disabled under optional questions. Technically, under ADA laws, I fall under "disabled." I'm capable of working for long hours, and my disability would not interfere with any of my work-- however, would I not even be called in for an interview if I mark myself as disabled? OR would I be more likely to be called for an interviewed (and even hired) because it'll help the company show its hiring "diversity"?
10 AnswersPeople with Disabilities10 years agoHow do I tell my new boss that I will be in the hospital for 2 weeks for surgery?
I was recently offered a great career. I plan on being with this company for the rest of my life. Before I was offered this job-- or even interviewed for this job, my doctor recommended surgery for me-- temporal lobectomy-- which is, simply put, brain surgery. When and how do I tell my new boss about this surgery that was scheduled before I was offered this position and that I will be away for one week soon, and then another week within the month after that?
1 AnswerOther - Careers & Employment10 years agoHow do I change my Yahoo email password?
I have had this yahoo email for years. Now, it's been hacked and since it's merged with AT&T, I can't find where in yahoo mail I need to go to change my password. I have found similar questions online, but they were from very long ago, from before yahoo became at&t mail, so the set up is different. The domain is still ----@yahoo.com, but it's linked with AT&T now.
3 AnswersPassword and Sign In1 decade agoCan my boss fire me without telling me?
I work for a private tutoring academy. For the short period of time between summer and fall, there was a break and when fall started up again, I asked my boss every week and she would tell me that no one has signed up for my classes, yet. Students have been emailing me asking when I would come back because they want to sign up for my class. I stopped by work yesterday to ask her about it, and once again, she told me no one's signed up. I went to find the students in the classrooms and asked those who wished to take my class sign up. I turned in the list of names to her-- which she asked for. A student messaged me today and said that my boss had hired an instructor to teach the classes he had signed up for because he thought i was going to teach them. She has always told me that no one has signed up for my classes and she hires a new instructor to teach my classes. Could she have fired me without telling me? I have asked her, but she continually tells me no one has signed up for my classes. The students and the secretary tell me differently.
3 AnswersLaw & Ethics1 decade agoWhy doesn't my boss believe me-- what do I do?
A few weeks ago, my boss confronted me about another teacher complaining to me that I had led his students to rebel against his grading methods during second period. I explained to my boss that, not only do I not have a second period, but I wasn't even at the school. She seemed to have believed me when I explained this and dismissed me. I asked which students were saying this but she refused to answer and told me not to worry about it. Today, I stopped by work to have my boss sign a completely unrelated document, and she brought the issue up once again. She doesn't believe me, and I feel this will effect my schedule, and if there is another issue that comes up, I will most likely lose my job. I was not working at that time. She doesn't believe me. What should I do?
2 AnswersOther - Careers & Employment1 decade agoHow can I make sure that just because I don't have time to be "go out" with my coworkers, I don't lose my job?
I have two jobs, and only work part time at a private academy teaching English and Spanish. I am a full-time content editor and usually don't have time to always go out with my coworkers at the school, but they've stopped specifically asking me to come along to lunch dates with them. There is a short break between the summer and fall session and the fall session starts tomorrow and I have called my boss to get my schedule. She refused to pick up my call and waited until I hung up only to text me back that she hasn't made the schedule yet and that she was on vacation. I get along well enough with one coworker and she told me she hasn't received her schedule either, despite work starting in a few days. They told me this was because since it was a private school, the first week, there usually are no students because they're just starting school and probably don't know if they need any supplemental classes at the academy, yet.
I just noticed that all of my coworkers were tagged in a vacation picture in San Francisco. I wasn't invited and my boss was in the picture. A few weeks before, I was forced to defend myself against rumors that I was talking badly about the receptionist behind her back to my students. I asked which students had said this and she told me it was the students from my class during the second period. I don't have a class during that period.
I haven't done anything wrong. I'm the only one on the staff who has an English degree and speaks 2 other languages fluent enough to teach it, but would not being social enough cost me my job? When I had first started everyone was nice enough, but it was only this summer when they constantly went out together and I had to work my other job that they formed this tight knit group I wasn't a part of.
How can I confront this without seemingly causing trouble, and how can I get through this and get along with my coworkers?

1 AnswerFacebook1 decade agoWhat's the "d" next to some of the sent text messages in a blackberry mean?
In a blackberry phone.. all the messages, sent or received are all shown in a row. The sent messages have an check mark next to them. Some of the check marks also have a small "d" above the check mark, some of them don't. The "d" does not mean "delivered" because even messages without the "d" next to it are delivered. It has nothing to do with whether or not the message has been replied to also. What does it mean?

2 AnswersMySpace1 decade agoBesides marijuana, what can calm me down and reduce seizures?
I have epilepsy. I am on medication which controls my seizures day to day. My seizures are triggered mostly by stress and although my medication controls it on a day to day basis, I also have a medical marijuana license allowing me to purchase marijuana if I feel there is too much on my mind. Is there anything else, besides marijuana, I can take in times of extreme stress, where even my daily medication can't control my seizures? (examples of extreme stress situations where my medication might not be able to control the seizures include finals week, or as I have experienced in the past- a death in the family.)
