Hi, so how do men cope with not being able to have sex with their wives for at least six weeks after the baby is born?

I'm a little worried my husband is going to revert back to watching porn or something. I work so hard to keep him satisfied and we've had issues with certain things and I'm afraid I won't be able to trust him to wait it out for me without trying anything else to satisfy him during this time.

Some names we like are:

Vivian

Ira

Lucy

Camilla

Lydia

Sienna

Aletta

Opinions on those and more suggestions of names that are beautiful and classy. Names that never go out of style?

Thanks!!

I love the name Luca and I've been thinking about it for a girl.. I know it's a boy name though and I'm just worried a lot of people will think it's too masculine. In my opinion, I think it works either way but I don't want to give my sweet daughter a name that sounds all boy.

If you do think it can work for a girl, what are some suggestions for a very feminine middle name?

NO RUDE ANSWERS PLEASE, like I said, I know it's typically used for a boy and it's not a set name and I would never name my child a name that would be bad for them. I'm just trying to get some opinions. Just want to know if I'm the only one who thinks it works both ways.

Thanks!

We already have a boy name picked out but are having a hard time with the girl's name.. Any suggestions would help!

Vivian

Sienna

Aletta

Luca (I know it's a boy name but I think it's really sweet and is the perfect unisex name as long as it's paired with a very feminine middle name. Thoughts?)

Lydia

Ira

Hali (pronounced Holly)

Vera

Lila

Any suggestions of names that are similar to this? We like really feminine/romantic/vintage sounding names or spunky cute names.

Middle name suggestions too please!

Me and my husband are expecting.

We already have the boys name narrowed to Troy or Cohen but we love so many girl names and can't settle on one.

We like:

Vivan

Lila

Naomi

Sienna

Ira

Camilla

Which is your favorite? Any middle name suggestions or suggestions of names that seem similar to those?

And also do you prefer Troy or Cohen for a boy?

Thanks!!

So I'm on birth control and take it the same time everyday.

I was having a crazy busy day though last week and missed one pill. So here's a timeline:

Saturday: missed pill (took it 7 hours later when I remembered, no sex)

Sunday: Took pill at regular time (no sex)

Monday: Took pill at regular time (no sex)

Tuesday:Took pill (Had sex but fiance pulled out)

Wednesday: Took Pill (Had sex but fiance pulled out)

Thursday: Took Pill (Fiance and I had sex twice and didn't pull out or wear condom either time)

So what are the odds that I could become pregnant from missing that one day and still having sex during the week after?

Thanks

I have a bacterial throat infection, not quite strep throat but still just as contagious. The doctor put me on antibiotics and I've been taking them for a little over 24 hours now.

How long will I be contagious for? My boyfriend came over today and we of course didn't kiss or anything but I don't want him to get it and I don't want to make the mistake of kissing him when I think it's fine but I'm actually still contagious.

For almost 10 years of my life I was in a very emotionally abusive friendship, went through verbally abusive relationships, neglect in the home, and went through a lot of other traumatic experiences dealing with an alcoholic adult figure through out my childhood. These events had caused me to have very low self esteem and to have a lot of irrational fears.

At some point I got the courage up to leave that life behind and start over new somewhere else. I am finally happy.

I was lucky enough to meet an absolutely amazing guy who I fell in love with an I know loves me soo much. For the first time since I can remember, I actually feel 100% relaxed and 100% safe when I am with him. But the problem is now that I've experienced that comfort, I have a really really hard time leaving him. Every day when I have to go home or go to work, I get so sad and start feeling extremely lonely and scared. I can't handle leaving at the end of the night if I don't feel like he's had a great day with me because of fears I have about losing people.

I love him so much and he doesn't know how bad my emotions are getting because I know he'll worry.

I just don't want to feel that way anymore and I don't want it to end up ruining my perfect relationship.

Should I go to therapy or something? Any suggestions?

And please don't just ramble on about how I'm some clingy girlfriend and guys don't like that, I know they don't and I'm trying to make sure that doesn't become a problem.

So me and my boyfriend are in a serious relationship. I love him very much and I trust him 1000% so there's no issue of me thinking he would cheat or anything. But there is this girl who is studying the same major as him so they have lots of classes together and she will not stop texting him and flirting with him, always trying to study or do homework with him. She's even been open in the past about her feelings for him and he told her he didn't like her like that. And she knows he has me so I can't figure out what her deal is.

She doesn't know me and she's not taking the hint from my boyfriend to leave him alone. I just feel like it's extremely disrespectful to hit on someone who's in a committed relationship.

It's getting annoying to be spending time with my boyfriend and to hear his phone go off every hour with texts from her.

So should I get her phone number and text her personally and tell her to lay off? How to you deal with this kind of person?

So I've known this guy for almost 2 months now. We're friends but I really like him and I thought he liked me too. He was always coming over to my place to hangout and inviting me over all the time. And we would flirt and get somewhat touchy with each other. But then tonight he last minute invites me over like an hour before he goes to bed, I come over, and he vents about his ex the whole time. Then he tells me I'm such a good friend and listener.

Did he friendzone me? Do guys ever just rant about their ex to a girl they like?

There is the guy I really like and he totally is leading me on.. We hang out with the same group of friends but he is always calling and texting me to find out what's going on, he always sits by me if we're watching a move, and sits really close and will get sort of touchy. Friendly touchy, but he's not like that with anyone else. And he's always asking me for back rubs and will give them to me too. But the thing is, I have a feeling even though he does all this, he has no intention on asking me out or he doesn't actually like me.

But why would be be leading me on like that? I make it pretty obvious I like him so don't you think he'd feel bad for acting flirty back with me or does he really not know he's leading me on?

I feel like every guy I like and start to date is never a permanent option and I don't know why I go for these guys..

My first real relationship was with a guy who was great, but had issues with substance abuse and wasn't really going anywhere with his life. I knew when I started dating him that he wasn't the one but I did really like him and went for it anyways. I ended up getting really hurt when we finally broke up a year later, because I was so attached but couldn't be with someone like him.

The second guy I was with for 6 months and we had been friends for a long time before then, but I knew when we started dating he was going out of state for college and was devastated when he broke up with me before he left.

Now I've been hanging out with a guy for about a month, but he's only here in my town for the summer for an internship so he's leaving in a couple months and probably won't want to do long distance.

Why do I only fall for guys who I can't be with??

So I recently moved into a new area for school and met a great group of friends. I started talking to this guy and we both like each other and have been on 2 dates, plus we hang out all the time with our friends. Problem is, we haven't really told anyone yet about us just because we've only been on a couple dates and there's no reason to tell unless we decide to be together.

There is this girl though who is OBSESSED with him. and me and her are kind of friends so it makes it really awkward when we all hang out together because she makes it so obvious that she likes him so much. (I didn't know she liked him when we started going on dates btw)

I know he doesn't like her and likes me, and I'm not jealous at all, but it's starting to get under my skin that SHE gets jealous and possessive when he talks to me.

So question is, how do I not let this bother me because I know she's not going to be a problem for us, and how do I deal with the crazy aftermath that's going to happen when we tell people we're dating and she realizes he doesn't want to be with her?
