I just really can't seem to get over someone I was really, really in love with for like 4 years. He doesn't love me any more though and he's gone, so I really need to get over it. It's not healthy. What have some of you done before, to get over someone that you need to.

My boyfreinds behavior has changed.. At first I thought it was a problem with our relationship.Then I noticed he does it with everybody and everything. He constantly critisizes everything, there is no way to win with him. For example, he told me not to call his cell so much during the day because of the minutes (we used to talk or leave voice messages perhaps 2 or 3 times during the day). So I cut that down to once, and he said I don't care about him any more, that I never call. I pointed out his request, and he said then call, but keep it to a few words. So I'd call but kept it brief, things like "just wanted to say hi" or "I love you". Then he said dont call for that kind of stuff, that I'm not saying anything interesting, You can see why I'd think it might be our relationship. He won't admit anythings wrong or even see it. Now I notice he does it to others, but he does it with me the most, critisizes everything I do. It's hard to deal with as I'm worried he's going nuts. Opinions?

This question is mostly for tattoo artists. I have several tattoos already and they look great and I never had any problems with healing. But I just got a new tattoo by a new boyfriend who is a tattoo artist. It looks awesome to me and I love it, but he keeps yelling at me and telling me I'm not taking care of it right and I'm screwing it up. Since both he and the tat are new, I don't know if he's just a jerk or if I'm screwing up his work. I'm keeping it clean and putting this stuff called "Naked" on it that he gave to me. He said to keep this stuff on it constantly, not to let it get dry at all. I'm doing what he says, but I don't recall them telling me this with previous tattoos.There's no flaking or scabbing or anything, he just says I must not be putting enough and I'll have scars-but it looks great to me so far. Is this process what most of you would recommend to heal a new tattoo? This guys confusing me, I don't know if he's an ***, or if I'm messing up my tattoo.

What's your opinion? I am a retail manager and I have a debate going with my sister, a teacher. She recently asked her students, if they were given back too much change by a cashier, would they would give it back? Mostly all of them would (thankfully:) but these are very young children. My sister agrees with the students (perhaps why she makes a better teacher than I:) After years of seeing registers both over and short, I can tell you the shortages FAR outweigh the overages. That is partly due to internal theft. But if a cashier makes an honest human error and hands back the wrong change in 1 out of 100 transactions, the odds are that there would be a fair balance of both overages and shortages by the end of the month- not mostly shortages. I have rarely seen a customer hand back money saying they were given too much, while I have more often seen a customer say "hey, you didnt give me enough, you still owe me a dollar" I think about 70 percent of people would not give the money back.

I go out with a lot of guys, but it always ends after around a month. It just kind of falls apart and we stop calling and seeing each other. I'm starting to wonder theres something wrong with me. A bit about me personally: on the positive side, I'm very attractive, have a good job, intellegent, honest, good sense of humor, and I'm a genuinely caring person. On the negative side, I have workaholic tendencies and I do not let social plans disrupt my work focus or schedule. Although I've never considered being independent a negative thing personally, I am very independent. I also tend to date much younger guys. I happen to look really young for my age so that's just what I tend to meet. They always claim it's not a problem though, but I'm looking at all possibilities. I'm not looking for a permanent relationship necessarily, but longer than a few weeks might be nice. What do you think some of the reasons might be for a pattern of short term relationships that just fall apart?

I found a box of unused bullets in my safe that used to belong to my deceased husband. I want to throw them away, but it occured to me that if they used any kind of heat or high pressure process when they process garbage, that the bullets might blow up and hurt someone. It may seem like a silly question, because I can't imagine what my other options would be. But I just don't wan't to risk anyone getting hurt, so does anybody know? It may be more a question of "what happens to residential garbage after they pick it up?" And they cetainly aren't biodegradable either, so does anyone know the proper way to throw these away?
