...."What is my relationship status from how he behaves?"
(which I posted today)
2 AnswersSingles & Dating3 years agoWhat is my relationship status from how he behaves?
I met X last year through an old friend then I moved to the city, 1-2 months later he did the same (same city) for work...we just loved hanging out, drinking/eating then one night i snogged him and from then we were having sex (as well as what we did previously). Because I have only had white b/f s and shags i still found it hard to really get into it all and after months of putting him off for eve/nights/mornings with him here and there, his requested cinema trip etc...i ve pushed him away a little. Now that mist has cleared and i see him not just as a person i can chat to for hours and enjoy but also a gent. he opens doors for me, gives me his coat, lifts my chin up to passionately kiss me, lock hands with me even in public and he pays for everything and even put on soothing music for when we get intimate. with the bad (which others may say but i don;t and i don t think he does either)...we are all about the present nothing else matters, we are still on condom sex which doesn t feel the same plus i think it makes him *** too quick and I wish for us to get tested before he goes inside me naked ...How does this relationship sound? like were friends who f***? Lovers? Honeymoon period? b/f & g/f? Also, how do I get him to take the tests and also reassure him about the cumming too quick?

Late September, I was celebrating my new job pre-drank to celebrate then drank so much that by the end of the night I was vomiting, passing out and v ill. I climbed on top the top covers of the bed with my clothes on and the next thing I know I was being hastily stripped, kissed from head to vagina then he forced my tightly closed legs open forcing oral and his penis (all unprotected and he came inside me).
I am Feeling many things of this 1 rape- like, angry one hour, denying it the next, powerless and a weird one- horney of the thought yet I was crying at the time.
I also figured out after that he wanted to impregnate me and I know if he did I'd be 4-6 months pregnant now yet I feel weirdly guilty that I am not even though he wanted the baby never me.....wtf?! So confused and disgusted that I'm thinking about my would of been rape baby growing inside me

2 AnswersSingles & Dating5 years agoWhat does my friend (I slept with recently) want from me?
his possible intentions? I’ve known him for 2 years fancied him on&off since. We have a weird relationship anyway, talk occasionally, can be total d**ks to eachother and we’ve always had a weird "thing" between us.
I chose him for sex, I waited a while and at last I found my “in”, we spoke for 2 hours (re: sex) then arranged next day sex. We had it unprotected, I made him go to the clinic himself and I left. Week later I pm'd him re: him wanting "round 2" from our conversation earlier, he stated- maybe not, as I asked someone out- I thought that was rude; whatever had his chance! Days after, (in nightclub) I only asked him about results, he said he don't know- I was angry said FFS. Afterwards I gained much male attention, while he all along next to me just starting relentlessly for minutes! Then stormed off!
3 days later on his hosted event, he saw I arrived with "a new man" was a d*ck to me throughout and again for few mins just relentlessly stared at me like he wanted to scream/say something but won't, then he stared a little at "my new man" ......what does he want to say?! What does he want? Why so jealous of other men?

3 AnswersYahoo Answers6 years agoTrying to be a Supply Teacher, What qualifications do I need?
My background:
I have a:
BSc (Hons) in Biomedical Science
PG Diploma in Pharmacology + PG Certificate in Science Teaching (= MSc Science degree)
While I have been teaching Science at a Key Stage 3 level since January and now (since a few weeks ago), Key Stage 4 Science- at the same Saturday School.
I also have Cover Supervised for a few months (Ad-Hock) in Mainstream schools.
I can Cover supervise all I like but I have noticed that some of those times I am doing a Supply Teacher's job for about £5ph more than what I get from this! Yet I am told I am NOT qualified to be a Supply Teacher!
What qualifications and/or experience do you need to become a Supply Teacher? as I want to receive the wage I deserve after all my hard work!
I have applied for a 140 Hour-TEFL course, once I qualify; will this help me become one?
If not, why not??
What else can I do with my qualifications + the TEFL qualification? (in a career aspect)

3 AnswersTeaching8 years agoWhat do I do with this relationship?
I have been with my boyfriend since late 2006 and feel I've found my soul mate, we are compatible in so many ways were like best friends and of course find each other attractive.
We met at university where we did different subjects and introduced by a mutual friend at the time, we of course had the honeymoon period with much talking, getting to know each-other dating and sex.
As we were students living in halls, we would sleep over at eachother's (student) place about 4-5 days a week, after 2 years and onwards I carried on my degree and living in halls but my boyfriend failed his due to getting into full time work; this was fine as we saw each-other regularly.
After my original degree date was extended for another year (4 years in total) we both moved into a shared flat which he and my parents paid for to also live with each-other for longer, this was an awful year for us as not only was he doing night-shifts and overtime hours, but I started various part time jobs while finishing my degree and he also had to visit his grandparents more as they needed light care help from him (as-well as light help from home care nurses).
Naturally from this, if I saw a "window open" that he is free I would wake him up or bug him until he wakes up so he can (rightfully) pay attention to me; a number of weeks before he told me that he has to move back with his grandparents once our flat rental has expired which made me feel unwanted and hurt.
by bad coincidence by the time our contract for flat expired, I had to move back home as I hadn't gained a job there and also my dad was terminally ill with cancer; so I had to give basic care to him until he died couple of months later.
Meanwhile I was severely depressed after his death, other loved-one's deaths, not gaining a job anywhere not even volunteering, i moved away from my student community and my relationship was on the rocks as all of this affected me so much I couldn’t feel any emotions anymore i was completely numb- I didn't belong anywhere and unwanted.
After many months, I was accepted into a further degree I threw myself into this and numerous jobs instead, as my boyfriend was now long-distance after our moves, his work and his grandmother getting ill, whenever the rare opportunity of him seeing me (every 2 weeks) and spending couple time together- i didn't want to know, my sex drive died, numerous resentments built up about him, I was in a way glad to be numb with depression as I feel he'd of hurt me further.
Now, years later I still have mind and emotion numbing depression, doesn’t want to have sex with him, doesn’t look forward to things, even a luxury 2 week holiday nothing is working.
All I dream of is the simple things which every1 else gets but me! I simply want to live with him again (can't, as its too expensive I don't have a job as I’m finishing my degree and he is working full time, living with and caring for his grandfather whom I resent!)
I'd also after the better part of a ******* decade like to be engaged and married to him by now, but he only talks about it and is all mouth.
With the housing register, he could of helped, researched with me, also filled out the forms and sent it (as its his area i was applying to) but he didn't!
We are still soul mates and apart from all that get on as freshly as we used to, but I dont think I can take this anymore; I love him so much he is like my husband in the respect of closeness how much we have been through and survived, he brings out the best in me and our journey together in life but him not living with me and with grandparent instead- I feel I'm not his number 1 which i cannot accept! He also should of helped and completed the housing forms while I still had a morsel of motivation left! and on top of it, stop his stupid expensive habits like gambling and weekend coke usage!
I feel he is selfish for not putting that money into a moving out fund for us (which I started myself and still am) he has not asked me to marry him rather talk about it loads instead without the ring! Yet he is the only one physically trying at the same time in driving to my home miles away from himself once a week and makes an effort in being with me.
He is making an effort at times yet he is stuck in circumstance, I am not sure if i've lost feelings for him or if it’s still the depression I love him but I already despise him due to all these blocks in our relationship.
What do I do???
4 AnswersMarriage & Divorce9 years agoMy optician dilemma regarding eye sight test results?
I have finished with my original opticians I have since i was first diagnosed with short-sightedness when I was 9 years old, I have left this optician because they are more about selling bells and whistles that you either don't need or want for business purposes and it doesn't help that they possess poor quality testings in eye exams in comparison to other opticians.
Since then (im 27 years old) and it had been 3 years since my last eye examination, that was with my last optician, afterwards I gave the prescription to an online glasses maker which I have worn these glasses since.
Last week I had booked 2 different opticians for my eye examinations on the same day! 2 hours apart from each other, where I then got fresh air and outdoors between each appointment.
Optician A, Vision express; was recommended by a close friend who has been there for years and I got the following results:
Right eye: Sph -4.25 Cyl -0.50 Axis 105
Left eye: Sph -5.25 Cyl -0.25 Axis 90
Optician B, Boots, recommended by many of my mum's friends:
Right eye: Sph -4.00 Cyl -0.75 Axis 105
Left eye: Sph -5.25 Cyl -0.25 Axis 55
As my left eye has clearly got worse in both exams and my astigmatism has to, the conclusion is that I need new "stronger" glasses to get through the day.
I am worried about my astigmatism results (Cyl and Axis data) as they are conflicting each other especially the Axis!
I need new glasses made soon but I dont know what to do? do I use Optician A or Optician B results to base my glasses prescription on?
Does this really matter or am I being pedantic?
Should I have a third optician eye test? or will this confuse me more?
Is my Astigmatism mild, moderate or bad?
Anything else you would like to add would be super, as I am no expert in optometry!

5 AnswersOptical9 years agoCan I become a Further Education (college) Science teacher with the qualifications Ive gained?
I have been in both compulsory and non-compulsory education for the last 23 years, I haven't had "proper full time jobs"; rather- part time, agency and voluntary jobs (at a few hospitals, schools and a college) while studying.
I have an honorary degree in Biomedical Sciences (all the -ologies) and a masters in Pharmacological Sciences, my masters degree contains 3, 60 credit modules, its is mostly Pharma-based and 1 of the modules is a "Teaching Science" based.
I also have privately tutored at university once or twice (sports science and nursing students) and exam invigilated in schools for a few months.
I am finishing my masters at the moment, but meanwhile I'm wondering:
*Can I "shadow or watch" a College/FE Teacher for a week or so? just to verify this "is me" and conform this career choice. If so how do I apply for this?
*Am i suitable to be "taken on" as a FE level teacher?
*the 1 out of the 3 master degree's module, which is "Teaching Science" is not a PGCE or other traditional teaching qualification but in its own right is a "PG Certificate", is this acceptable to teach with?
*Is there any other work experiences eg: classroom assisting? that is needed to add to my advantage for when I do apply to be a FE teacher of Science?
Thank you

2 AnswersTeaching9 years agoIs this an unfortunate situation or a case where I need to sue? re: Dentistry?
Last year I had the worst pain I have ever encountered in my life, I had a major tooth ache; I looked up local dentists and went to the one that had the soonest appointment for me as I was in so much pain. It turned out i had a primary tooth infection that lead to my molar.
My new dentist did a Root Canal as it was deemed essential to help this problem, and i was taking Amoxicillin and a week later I had less pain, but then it grew a nasty dull full head/jaw/teeth/face pain (which affected my sleep and eating) few days after that I couldn't take any more pain I went to dental A&E where they told me i had a secondary infection which was due to the Root Canal done on me! it had become more infected and i was prescribed Metronidazole which is for anaerobic bacteria rather than the usual aerobic; i took it for 2 weeks and was told i was lucky i didn't have an abscess (from the A&E dentist).
I am conflicted in whether or not this was due to perhaps unsanitary conditions of the original dentist which caused the anaerobic bacterial infection that lead me to A&E or if the fact that I had an infection in the first place then had a Root Canal procedure that I was open to opportunist pathogens hence the secondary infection?
Can anyone help me figure this conundrum out?
Ive been thinking about it for a year and its doing my head in, please help and advise me!

4 AnswersDental9 years agoIs this scenario rape or not? ?
Me and the man in question concented to sex before the drink hit me, then I went with him to his place and within a few minutes into sexual intercourse; I passed out due to being very drunk. He carried on, I know as I kept waking up and re-passing out. Bear in mind I consented before hand, a few of my friends say its possibly rape; I thought rapings are non-concential, no? Is this rape? Not rape? Other? Etc...?
4 AnswersGender Studies9 years agoIs this situation humanly possible to carry on with? ....could YOU personally do this?
Hello, I would like to ask this question to you- the strangers who don't know me or have met me before, as it'll be less biased than friend and family answers...
Can you cope with 4 family based bereavements, post traumatic stress disorder, moderate depression and an illness that makes you fatigued/depressed at the same time and getting distracted from these factors while working full time every weekday having 3 hours of commuting per work day, doing a part time degree and having a long-distance relationship and 2-3 hours of sleep per weekday (weekends have about double the amount of sleep) at the same time?
I'm asking as a genuine question, as my friends and counselor told me it was too much for 1 person; I think i may of lasted longer if I wasn't sacked from that full time job! (for making mistakes in my work and slowness of productivity)
Sometimes I think I could of carried it on but needed Amphetamines to do so....what do you think?
Can one have it all? and at what costs
