Cali Girl

My husband I have only been married a year, but have been dating for 8 years prior to marriage. We only married each other because we have 3 children and wanted them to be able to say their parents are married. As time has past I feel that we have grown into very different people. We raise our children differently and that sometimes will become a problem when the children are seeking guidance. We do not have meaningful conversations. He enjoys different things than I do. I am very serious and he love pranks. The only thing that we do together is spend time with the children. I feel that my life is empty and that the children and I would be better off on our own. But I know they love and need their father. I also do not want my children to think that it is ok to leave your spouse because you no longer like the person he is. Please share your stories. I would like to hear from others who have been in a similar position.

I'm sure many of you watched the recent taping of the Oprah Winfrey

Show where her guest was Tommy Hilfiger. On the show, she asked him if

the statements about race he was accused of saying were true.

Statements like"..."If I'd known African-Americans, Hispanics, Jewish

and Asians would buy my clothes, I WOULD NOT have made them so nice. I wish these people would *NOT* buy my clothes, as they are made for upper class white people."

His answer to Oprah was a simple "YES".

Where after she immediately asked him to leave her show.

What gives???????????

My boy friend of 6 years is a jerk. He cusses alot and has a very negitive attitude on life in general. However, when around our daughter he is a great person. He becomes lovable and sweet. He works on an oil rig with a bunch of men who talk down on women. He tells me that I need to accept him how he is???? How do I show him love so he can be the man I want him to be!

My boss who I value as a good friend has a bit of a temper when it comes to work. I have been wanting out of here for a while now and an offer has arisen with better pay. My boss comes back from vacation and I have to brake the news to him. I need help!!!

I worked for a partnership that desloved. I stood with the partner who is so dis-orgainzed and my co-worker, Sally (who is my best friend) went with the other partner (who is Sally's uncle). She was fired because she felt she could come in and out of the office since she worked for her uncle. Unfortunalty, she has very bad work ethics. The very next day her uncle invited me to lunch and asked me to go work for him. He is willing to give me a big raise and more benifits. When I told her she started crying. She see it as she did nothing wrong. Should I leave? Should I feel bad for her? How should I be around her now?
