  • My boyfriend told me he studies with this girl in her dorm room! I was a little shocked him telling me this because I would feel guilty, no?

    matter how nice the guy is, to study in a man's dorm room unless I liked him.

    How should I tell him this makes me uncomfortable or is this normal for couples to do this. Im really old fashioned and he is too.

    It's odd to me.

    What should I tell him?

    Am I overdoing it?

  • Am I wasting my time?

    I spend hours learning grammar: whether it be terms or phrases, different ways to explain different kinds of sentences, and correcting comments on YouTube. I vivadly see complex or compound sentences and all the different conjunctions--corrlative, coordinating, or subordinating.

    I'm an English tutor, so I know these rules are imperative; however, I've been thinking if this is worth learning.

    I never questioned it until I was tutoring a student. We were going over dependent clause and relative clause fragments. She had this real confused look in her eyes when we were in the middle of the lesson. She asked me, "How's this going to help me later?"

    I explained knowing English well is a solid foundation; however, I'm not sure now.

    How is being able to spot a prepositional phrase in a sentence in order to find the correct subject going to benifit me or her later?

    (I've spent hours learning, and I don't plan to stop regardless if it's in vain. I'm only curious if it's a waste of time.)

    Please leave your opinions. <imperative sentence

  • How do I stop this envy inside me!?

    Ever since I began befriending this male friend, we have gotten closer over the years to the point we told each other we liked each other. He told me he would wait for me; however, we are so shy, so we are sometimes distant. It hurts me because I'm falling in love with him, and it's overwhelming.

    He's currently at the University, so I don't see him as much as I would like. Whenever he comes to visit, we try to spend time together, but there have been times I've been unable to.

    Recently, his mother, a few wives from church, and I went to go to a play. I thought he would be there, but he texted me telling me he was just going to drop off the tickets for us. I was devastated because I missed him so much. I was verbal about it with his mother. I told her why he wouldn't come along with us. When I said this all the women there just stared at me like I was some weirdo, and my sister said I was overdoing it. I had this anger in my heart towards all of them because I knew they didn't understand. Some of the women are pregnant so they obviously spend a lot of time with their husbands. There's this envy that's building and it's hard to hide it sometimes because they get to be with their husbands while I am distant with my "close friend".

    When those women looked at me like that...I was hurt and angry.

    How should I overcome this envy?

    And what should I say to the wives at church who react like this way to me? This happens a lot. :(

  • Should I say something? My boyfriend's sister treats him terribly in front of people, and I want it to stop. What should I do?

    She's 24, and he's 20. Since she's the oldest, she graduated from the University before him, and she's accomplished a lot so far. He has a lot of respect for her, but she doesn't seem to hold the mutual feeling. He's doing great, and everyone loves being around him. He's so sweet to her but she's always rolling her eyes at him, and talks down to him a lot. I was surprised the first time she snapped at him in front of me, and she's not shy to do so in front of others. She speaks to her father in a demeaning way too, and my mom once. I get so angry sometimes because my boyfriend doesn't seem to mind and always makes excuses for her behavior like, "She's tired." or her famous excuse is, "It's a brother and sister thing." I have a younger brother and although he gets on my nerves, I don't treat him ALWAYS with anger. I've never seen her treat her brother with any kind of kindness. I don't understand because he's so sweet to her. There are times she has these "talks" with him about how much harder he needs to work. And he seems to withdraw from me. His mother told me why, and I want to say something but I hate conflict. I feel like it's none of my business and I deeply care for both of them. I also feel like it's not fair for me when I see this because it's like she's adding to my anger toward her.

    She mentioned once how she was bitter because her parents just "expected" her to be successful but with her brother it was an accomplishment.

    I just don't know what to do about this.
