  • Drama with Claiming another person's kid on taxes?

    A friend of mine claimed our mutual friends child on her taxes last year. The mother of that child was expecting money for allowing her to claim her child but she did not get the money she was expecting. Now she says she is going to report my friend. What should my friend do? The mother of the child willingly gave up her child's info in order for my friend to claim her child. What rights do the both of them have?

    Thanks

  • Unauthorized check written 2-3 weeks ago, what now?

    My friend's father took $3,000 from her to buy a puppy about 3 weeks ago. She didn't know that he had done it until 2 days ago when she looked at her bank statement. He won't get the puppy for a few months until the puppy's immune system is strong enough to leave his mother. Do you think there is any chance of her getting the money back? He didn't ask her permission to take the money. Here's what we are unsure of:

    We don't know if there was any kind of contract involved

    We don't know who the person is, we just have the name of the person who the check was written to per the bank statement.

    What can I do to help her? She was planning on going to school with that money and now she has nothing. She serves in the Air Force and she has a bank account with them which is where this money was taken from.

    Please let me know what we can do if anything, thanks.

  • SnapChat and my new iPhone?

    So whenever I record or watch videos on snapchat, they're always silent unless I adjust the volume, EVEN WHEN the volume is already up to begin with. I know that when I record and post snaps, everyone can heard them because they respond to my snaps. So IDK wtf is going on. It's just annoying having to adjust the sound for every snap I watch and post.

    You get what I mean? Please help, thanks.

  • Any suggestions for starting over?

    I don't want to be married anymore, but I don't want to leave my husband because I don't want him to be lonely. I also don't know who will cook for him and make sure he has everything he needs. He's used to me making his meals and doing the household chores. I also still care for him as a person, and want to be able to check in with him and see how he is doing, but I know that will probably be overstepping my boundaries. He says that he doesn't want to be my friend outside of our marriage. I'm not used to putting myself first, so I feel like i am abandoning him. I know me moving out will tear him apart. Nothing is set in stone, but I do plan on moving out in the next several months. I feel very bad for wanting to move out. Any suggestions for how to deal with these feelings of guilt?

  • Is it fair to take a break?

    Been together for over 5 years. I'm at the point in life where I don't want to be tied down to anyone, especially after chasing him and struggling with him to treat our relationship like a true relationship for years. I'm ready to be on my own for a while and see how it is being on my own. I'm over cooking and cleaning for a man, over trying to push him to be something he doesn't want. He does truly love me and tries to make me happy but years of me bitching about the same things and no changes is just really tiring. We haven't has sex in months because I'm no longer attracted to him, nor am I no longer in love. But now the more I pull away, he hovers over me and it's kind of annoying because when I wanted all that attention, he didn't give it. I think I'm just too young (21) to be this stressed out over a man. Is it fair to him if I move out and give us a break for a while?

  • If my heart has moved on, what comes next?

    He now is in the place where I was a few years ago. I wanted to go out and spend time with him and plan for our future together, and he was not too serious about all that. I stayed and waited it out. A few months ago, I joined a website to make more friends and find cool things to do (Meet Up) and told him about it. He made no efforts to try to spend more time with me, even though that's what I've always wanted and what I've always told him. At some point in the last few months, I had this out of body experience. I realized that I am not in love with him anymore. He bad talks things that are important to me and for years, purposely did things to annoy me. But I always stuck by! Now I'm like "why the hell did I stay this long?" Now he is trying to change all those things, but I feel like it's too late. My heart has moved on. I've grown and realized that I don't want a man in my life right now that I have to cook and clean for everyday (which is what I do now). I don't want a man in my life at all. I want to move out but I don't know how to tell him. We're married. What do you suggest?

  • Can a Medical Assistant be a Certified Nurses Aid/ Patience Care Assistant ( CNA/PCA) without having to go to school?

    I went to school to be a Medical Assistant and did that for two years. I now want to be a CNA part time on the side just to earn some extra money. Do I have to go back to school just for the CNA? Medical Assistants and CNA's basically do the same things in Connecticut and I already have the skills. Is there a way I can just take the exam to be certified without going to school for it? Thanks!

  • It is too late?

    For years, I have been trying to get my husband to communicate with me more and to show me more attention, and generally open up more to me. He didn't really want to just hang out with me, we would have to be doing some sort of activity like going out or playing video games or something. He switched jobs and ended up working 2nd shift and I worked 1st, so we barely saw one another. I would text him throughout the day to see how he was, and I rarely heard back from him. He would get irritated quickly and almost as if didn't want to hear my mouth. He would go out to lunch with his friends and talk to his friends online but was disconnected from me.. If I did something to upset him, he wouldn't tell me, he would just be very short with me and I would have to deal with this tension for as long as it took for me to get him to open up. This went on for like 2 years. I gradually got used to him being this way, and I learned to entertain myself and find things to do. Present day, he wants to do all those things that I needed from him before but now..I don't want it. I've kind of moved on emotionally and no longer want him to do the things I once wanted. What does this mean? Thank you.

  • Is the fact that I am no longer in love enough to end a marriage?

    I no longer feel in love with my husband. He has put me through a lot over the years, but I always stood by him. Now I am just no longer in love. I don't feel anything when we kiss, I no longer have sex with him, and I sleep on the couch most nights to avoid being held. It's not right for me to do this to him. He deserves much more. He knows that I feel very distance form him, I've told him in the many talks we've had. He still loves me very much, I just think this is unfair for me to string him along. He is under the impression that I will go back to the clingy, super affectionate girl I used to be, but I'm not that person anymore. What are your suggestions?

  • If I feel I have outgrown him, what do you suggest I do?

    We have been together for over 5 years, married for just over 1. I am 21, he is 23. I feel like I have outgrown him and his immature ways. For years, I have helped him grow and advance in his life. I pushed him to get a good job, get his license, and create goals for himself. I used to be so deep in love with him, and surrounded my life around him. Now I feel like I love him, but not in a romantic way. Right now in my life, I want to concentrate on myself and my goals and what I want. I do not want to be in any type of domestic relationship. I don't want to be cuddled or held by him or anyone. In the past year he has really improved himself. Its very weird how I feel. I used to want to be that "perfect" wife but now I see that it's all not what it appears to be and I want to be free and not have to answer to anyone. Financially he has really but a strain on me for years but I always stuck by his side, even when he just walked off his job without having another one to fall back on. I don't want any man in my life ruining what I have tried so hard to build up, and that's what he has done to me so many times. I have certainly changed, to the point where I no longer feel compatible with him. I just don't know where to go from here. Try to make it work and figure out what is it that I need to do to fall back in love? When he makes mention of our future, I can't help but cringe inside.

  • Suggestions for figuring out if you want to work out a marriage?

    Me and my husband have been married for a little over a year, but have been together for over 5 years. He is 23, I am 21. In the beginning and about up until a year ago, I surrounded my life around him in every way. Cooking, cleaning, making sure he has food to eat for every meal, buying him everything he needs. In return, he has always been there for me in my darkest times in life..dried my tears. At the same time, I have never been able to depend on him when it comes to paying bills, keeping a job, and helping me around the house.. He also does NOT communicate with me at all, its like pulling teeth with him just to get a small bit of information. For so long, he was consumed by video games. I still stuck by him. Now, I feel like I am no longer IN love with him like I was. I want to move out and start a life on my own. I have no desire to have sex with him any longer, nor do I even want to express my feelings anymore because they have gone on deaf ears so many times. I feel like I am too young to be going through this and I want to live my life peacefully. What do I do? He has improved a lot in the past year, but I feel the damage has already been done. I really feel like I am having a delayed reaction to all of this, but now it's become clear to me that I am not happy with him anymore. Is it unfair to him to leave just because I want freedom and a stable life? I feel like I need to do some soul searching, on my own. Any input/suggestions would be helpful.

  • When do you know if you want to separate?

    So I have been with my now husband for over 5 years. We have been married just over a year now. We met when we were in high school Our relationship has had its trials. His parents didn't approve of us dating at first, my religion disowned me for being with him, pregnancy scares..but through it all we have always been loyal and faithful to each other. Years go by and we are growing up trying to become adults. I'm naturally very ambitious and he is to be frank, lazy. I've always had to push him in life, everything from getting his license to getting a job. We move into out first place together and two months later, he decides to just walk off his job because he didn't like it anymore. Ever since then, it's been a train wreck financially. All the while, my love never fades, if anything it got stronger..Fast forward to the past 6 months and I do not have that same love for him. All of what he has done and continues to do has put me at my wits end. I'm not going to bad talk him, but I feel like I am raising and teaching a small child how to become an adult. And I'm over it. He loves me with all his heart, he would do anything for me. I know this to be true because of the things he has done for me over the years and what he still does today. I love him as well, but I'm not sure if it's the same love. I always communicate with him when something upset me, but this will send him over the edge. What should I do? I'm feeling more that I would rather struggle on my own.

  • Who has gone through a separation in a marriage and what was the outcome?

    For some time now, I have been unhappy in our marriage. I think its been years now since I've actually wanted to have sex with my husband. I feel like I am raising a child and I want my own space for a while to figure out what I want in life. He has no idea I feel this way. Has anyone else gone through anything like this? If so please do tell.

  • How exactly do credit cards work?

    Me and my fiancé are planning on getting married next year. We want a big wedding with all of our families there. People are going to be coming from other countries to see us get married. We have some money saved now but will need a lot more to have our dream wedding. We're playing for it ourselves and we were wondering if a credit card could help us. How exactly do credit cards work? I know with some you can pay back a little each month and that's the kind we are looking to get. So I guess what I'm asking is: As long as we make a payment on our credit card bill each month, can we keep making purchases even with an outstanding balance? I know credit cards can be dangerous, but we are looking for a way to pay for this on our own and bring our families together for one special day. Any advice would be appreciated!
