Angie

I had my last period on Nov 14th. My boyfriend and I had sex a few times afterwards. Once or twice he just pulled out. I'm pretty sure one of those times would of been while I was most fertile. Our relationship is going great so I don't think a baby would be bad. At the same time I'm getting nervous as I wait for AF to show up. I have been having slight cramps. I feel exhausted, nauseous off and on all day, I'm having to pee like every hour or sooner. My boobs feel bigger or fuller. My nipples are a little sensitive. I'm so moody that I wanna snap at people. So I'm wondering if I'm just having a hormone change before AF? Or could I be pregnant? AF is due tomorrow I believe. The smell of food where I work doesn't help my nausea. Coffee with creamer makes it worse but just sugar is OK.

i have been dating this guy for about a month. i find him really attractive and i like him a lot. he tells me that he likes me a lot too and he's glad he took the chance to be with me. we are both 28 so its not like one of us is inexperienced. he hasn't made any type of sexual move on me yet. we have made out a few times though. i'm wondering how long should i wait before i make the first move?

plain simple truth: my boyfriend hits me if i make mistakes that make him mad. i have denied the fact that its abuse till recently. he's willing to use that as a way to get me to do what he wants. like the other night for example. we got in bed and i got comfy and said "good night" he said to me "get to work" meaning i run my nails across his back to help him relax. i didn't move for a second and he says "i'll hurt you. i do know how." i didn't want to risk finding out if he would or not so of course i did what he wanted. its like if hes not expecting something of me then hes all lovey dovey. he even claims he wants to get married. i know that i should tell someone. but the problem is how? if i told anyone local then he would eventually find out. and he would hurt me even more. i'm even afraid to tell one of my out of state friends. as i sit her i think about the women in movies or shows about abuse. i don't want to end up like that. but i don't know what to do!

my ex and i got back together a couple months ago. to those who might wonder why i made that choice. i figured it couldn't hurt to give dating him another try. well i also had a crush on someone else right before that. i thought oh no big deal i can forget about this other guy. i tried to forget about him. but my relationship has started going downhill again. so i started thinking about the other guy again. today the biggest thing popped into my head yet. instead of seeing myself marrying and having a family with the guy i'm currently dating. i imagined myself marrying and having kids with the other guy! the question is why? is it possible that i've allowed myself to fall for another guy? even though i'm in a relationship. the reason my boyfriend and i broke up before was because he didn't love me anymore. then shortly after we broke up he started going with another girl. so before anyone accuses me of being a bad girlfriend think about the fact that i was most likely dumped for another girl. and by the way i'm 26, my boyfriend is 22, and the other guy is between my age and 35. no one has given me his exact age.

i told one of my friends awhile back about a fight my boyfriend and i had. she was all like girl your being abused you need to get out of that relationship ASAP!! thing is when i make mistakes that piss him off he will punch my arm or lightly knock me upside the head. or if he's mad and i hesitate to answer a question he might slap me across the face. but it only happens if i make him mad. and never in the presence of another person. i don't buy certain things from the store because he doesn't like when i buy stuff without consulting with him first. again its only when i make him mad. so i just don't be stupid enough to make him mad right? also when he does do anything like that he normally says something like "why do i have to go that far to make you pay attention?"

the other night my boyfriend said to me "so when are we getting married?" it was late and i was like half asleep so i didn't think much of it. well he asked me that same question again this afternoon. today's response was a little different. unlike with most proposals i wasn't all "oh my god!" considering he actually did propose to me two years ago on valentine's day. but in may of last year he told me that he saw us as nothing but the ring on my finger. and later that year we broke up because he said he wasn't in love with me anymore. well back a couple months ago he asked for a second chance at dating. so i figured it couldn't hurt much to give him that much. but i told him we weren't just going to pick up where we ended it last year. now he claims he wants to get married again. i asked him why the sudden decision and why didn't he want to get married when we originally planned it. he gave me reasons like "i was just a kid back then, we already act like we are married, it could help us out on our taxes, we are dating, and i do love you at least a little bit." there's one problem with the just a kid excuse, he was only a year younger! i told him if he can prove to me that he wants to spend the rest of his life with me then i would think about it. he asked me how could he do that? i told him thats for him to figure out. and he said "i'm not going to do that." so tell me people. what do i do with this type of situation? how often does a guy at 22 know what they want?

before i get to the question there's a few things you readers need to know. this guy that i'm dating right now would of been my fiance for two years on valentine's day if we didn't break it off last summer. the reason we broke up was he told me that he loved me but he wasn't in love with me anymore. so we figured it be best if we just be good friends/roommates. we still live together. well right after valentine's day he asked me if we could try dating again. i told him i would try it but we can't just pick up where we ended last year. well the other night he said "so when are we getting married?" it blew me away. i don't even know how serious he is about our relationship. yet he asks a question like that. but why would he do that? i don't want to put my heart on the line again only to have it wedding dreams crushed again. if it matters he's 22 and i'm 26.

i was friends with this girl for awhile last year. we got along great and had some good times. i was there for her when she and her boyfriend broke up as well. then she moved in with an older guy and they started dating. after a couple months of that she told me they wanted to pay a visit to the Justice of the Peace. to me this guy didn't seem very good for her. so i tried to tell her that. all of her other friends started to bad mouth her when things like "she slept with half the town" started going around. plus before she got serious with this guy she did have a "boy toy" who was on drugs. now that i think back on it she basically chose her older boyfriend over everyone else. and yes i said some things behind her back too. but now i realize i was wrong and i want to apologize to her. but the problem is how? she closed her Facebook and who knows if she has the same phone number. she just had a baby with her now fiance so i was thinking maybe sending a card with her mom?

i was dating this guy since 2009. may of 2010 he told me that he needed me to find ways to spice things up. basically to keep us together is what he meant. cause he said we were nothing more then the ring on my finger at that time. yes we were engaged actually. well now we are giving it another go. but this time i feel as if he needs to show me that he actually wants to make it work. during the time him and i were broken up i had a crush on another guy. i still have yet to completely forget about that. i know if i could that would improve my relationship. can someone please tell me how to keep things going with my boyfriend? and what gave me the idea of having him show me he wants to make work is the way he talked to me a week ago. he called me white trash and other things that weren't very nice. all because i made a mistake.

i'm starting to wonder if my boyfriend isn't getting sexually frustrated. we had sex before we broke up last fall. but now that we are back together he keeps asking me stuff like "when you gonna put out?" i'm not ready for that again so i keep telling him to wait. well it seems like hes getting more ticked by my telling him to wait each time. i mean he hasn't got any since last fall. so could he be getting frustrated? a friend told me that she was with a guy who ended up like that and it drove them apart.

i decided to give my ex a second chance so now we are dating again. we broke up last year because he loved me but wasn't "in love" with me anymore. after the other night i wonder why did i bother giving him that second chance? he asked me why i never closed the one bathroom door. i started to tell him that it must of been cracked last time i was in there. because i didn't see it open. he hit my arm, yelled at me, called me stupid for not noticing it was open, and then called me white trash!! i guess i'm white trash because i'm oblivious sometimes. or because i ignore things. so i've been wondering what i should do about that. what would you women do if your boyfriend talked to you like that? and then the next day he acted as if we were fine and dandy. i'm thinking what is he mad because i won't have sex with him or what? considering he managed to get a picture of a friends butt when she wasn't looking!!

for the past week or more my cat has been waking us up anywhere between 4 am and 6 am. she scratches the walls, doors, and will even jump at the door handle to the closet. we think the reason for the door handle is because we don't let her in the closet. we make sure she's got food and water before we go to bed. her littler box is clean. so we have no clue what her deal is. we know its not the heat because she's spayed. although now that its warming up outside she wants out there almost as bad as she did while in heat. we don't trap her in our room at night. we have a gate up to keep the dog in the room. but the cat can jump over it. the dog has been sleeping on the bed with us every night though. so why is my cat doing this every morning? maybe she's jealous of the dog being on the bed? even though she used to sleep on the other end.

my boyfriend keeps asking me when i will be willing to have some type of sex with him. rather it be anal or vaginal. the problem is i don't have the desire to do it with him anymore. we were broken up for awhile. before we broke up we were engaged for a year and half. the reason we broke up before was because he said he wasn't "in love" with me anymore. the first time we had sex was to see if the lack of it wasn't the problem. could that be the reason i don't want to do it with him now? or is our relationship just not meant to work out? i don't know what to do! if it matters he's 22 and i'm 26. also when ever i do want to have sex i think about a guy i used to have a crush on.

the guy that i'm dating right now used to be my fiance from valentine's day of 2010 till fall of 2011. we originally started dating during summer of 2009. the reason we didn't get married was because when ever we tried to plan anything we would just fight. the reason we broke up completely was because he told me he still loved me but he wasn't "in love" with me anymore. well a few weeks ago he asked if i would be willing to start dating him again. i figured it can't hurt to at least try it again. we aren't actually engaged again though. there's just one problem this time around. when ever he tries to do anything intimate. rather it be groping my butt or boobs or if he actually wants to make love. i just get irritated when ever he does it. yet when ever i actually am "in the mood" i prefer other guys over him. and the mood doesn't hit when we are together. like for example last time i was "in the mood" i wanted the guy i was crushing on before i got back with my boyfriend. its making me wonder am i just not sexually attracted to him anymore? or could it be the fact that the first time we made love was to see if it would fix the problems we were having before breaking up? everything seems fine between my boyfriend and me except that part.

this guy that i'm dating used to be my fiance before we broke up last year. well now we are back together. sometimes he seems like he really wants to make it work this time. like he told me the night he asked to get back together that he was already telling people that i was his girlfriend. only certain people knew we broke up. there's a problem though. i had a crush on another guy during the time my boyfriend and i were broken up. to try making this work i have been trying to forget about the crush. but past couple days its been trying to creep back into my head. my guess is because on tuesday my boyfriend got mad at me. and if i hesitate to answer a question when he's mad then sometimes he'll kind of smack me. well he did that tuesday morning and i was thinking to myself "why am i even trying?" i want to make it work with him and at times its like it used to be. but sometimes i want to just move on. my friends tell me to follow my heart. but i'm not even sure what it's saying right now. i feel confused about all of this. can someone help me? i'm 26 if you want to know.

my boyfriend and i were broken up for like 4 or 5 months. because it wasn't a bad break up i decided to give him a second chance. yes he actually asked if i would be willing to get back together. well last night he said to me: "i've been wanting to f**k you for like a week now" i told him the day i gave him the second chance that we can't just pick up where we left off. cause before we broke up we were engaged. yet he still thought that i'd be willing to have sex with him. even though he now knows that i don't want to get serious yet, because when ever we tried to move further with our engagement we kept having problems. we actually had sex in attempt to fix some of those problems. well i don't want to get my hopes up again for another wedding just to have them crushed again. i don't think he understands that i just want to date for awhile and see where it goes. and to me sex is more serious then just doing it. how do i get him to understand? and could sex be all he really wants? considering yesterday morning he asked about the crush i had while we were broken up. i told him i decided to forget about that so we could date again. he goes "when did i say you were mine?" well hello?! it was last weekend he told me i was his! and i don't know if age has anything to do with it but i'm 26 and he's 22.

i noticed that when ever my town uses the weather siren. rather it be for a town meeting, fire dept. ambulance, or actual weather. all the dogs in the neighbor hood howl at it. including my dog. just curious about why dogs do that?

last night my ex asked me if i would be willing to get back together with him. i told him i'd think about it. today i gave him my answer. my answer was "yes but we can't just pick up where we left off" before we broke up last year we were engaged. it wasn't a bad break up so i figured i would give him the second chance. last night i asked why would he want to get back together. his answer was things have changed. but the thing is i haven't been doing anything differently. i'm the same person i was before we broke up. is it possible he decided to "settle" for me since he can't find another girlfriend? or can a person actually fall back in love with someone? i know it probably wasn't a good idea for me to get back with him. but if he breaks it off this time then thats it. i won't be playing the on/off game with him.

my ex and i have been broken up for at least 4 months. but to make things easiest we decided to still live together as best friends. because its easier to combine our paychecks for rent and the bills. well he told me not too long ago that sometimes he wonders if we shouldn't actually get back together. like when i do "smart things" as he put it. but if i do "stupid things" again as he put it then he's glad we are just friends. also he wants to kiss randomly but other times we act like we are just friends. i don't know if he wants to actually get back together or not. because last i knew we were still best friends but not dating. neither of us are dating anyone else at the moment. we don't have sex or anything like that. he doesn't really like talking about this sort of thing either. the other day he told me that he wants to have a kid someday and i said "well you have to find a woman" he's like "already found one" meaning me. i told him "i mean one you want to marry" he says "who needs to get married to have a kid?" i don't want to have a kid with a guy that i'm not even dating. to me the kisses he wants randomly just feel weird now. cause i feel as if i've moved on but i have no idea if he has.

there's this guy that i like. and when ever i see him i get all nervous and get that butterfly feeling. so it prevents me from actually talking to him. for example i was at work today and he was there. we passed by each other and i didn't greet him or anything because i was all "oh my god there he is!" the problem is that this guy is my landlord. so i know i should at least say hi but how? how do i get over the nervous feeling when ever he's around? and what's the deal with the butterflies anyway?
