We've been dating a little over a year and lately he doesn't talk to me at all. He comes home from work and sits on his computer or his phone until he makes plans with his other friends. I try to talk to him but he's so absorbed into his phone that he either doesn't hear me or is actually completely ignoring me, I go with him and his friends because I made the effort to become friends with them too. Plus he would get mad at me if I decided to stay home because he wants me to hang out with them. He doesn't talk to me the whole time we're out. Then we come home and he goes straight to bed. There is literally no alone time together. I've tried talking to him about this, but lately I feel like I can't talk to him at all because no matter how calmly I approach the subject, try to be understanding, etc. he gets defensive and starts getting mad and arguing with me. He says he doesn't even know if he wants to try anymore. So I let him be for a few hours and then he acts like that never happened. But we don't talk about the issues, we just ignore them, so they're never actually solved. What do I do???

My brother is leaving for basic training in May and we're throwing him a party before he leaves. I wanted to get him something that would be useful but I'm aware he won't be able to have many personal items. I was thinking maybe a nice durable watch (he breaks everything!) but I'm not sure about the rules as far as accessories. Or really anything. I would love to hear your ideas!

he's at work until 8 tonight and i have the day off. i wanted to surprise him when he came home but i'm not sure what to do. what are all of you doing?

Passenger side window goes down fine, but will only go up with the main (drivers side) switch. Any ideas?

I usually tip the candle almost upside down and then use my lighter, but now it has burned down too far and the flame doesn't reach. Any tips/tricks?? Thanks :)

i need a dog that is small, generally calm, and doesn't really bark or shed.

Any ideas? Thanks!

this is what my brother said. it doesnt make sense to me. i though pot was safe since its apparently all natural and that. so what's the deal?

my boyfriend gave me this ring. the compartment is about the size of a kernel of corn, maybe a little smaller. any ideas of what i can keep in there?
