I entered into a "relationship" around three months ago, immediately after breaking up with a long-term boyfriend of two years. I knew that that was best for me---to break up with my ex, he was needy and overpowering. BUT I had no intentions of entering into a new relationship. I kinda was pressured into it, see this guy is my manager at work, and we got together on some rather intoxicated evenings and now he calls me his girlfriend. In the beginning, I constantly told him not to, that I wasn't looking for that. It has gotten out of control. He is a really nice guy, I just don't have the time or energy for a relationship. I go to school full time, commuting and I also work. I know that being in any sort of relationship would just mess up my school work. I don't know what to do anymore. Any suggestions on how to explain this situation lightly to him would be greatly appreciated. Please help?

My boyfriend and I have been comfortably dating for a year and a half now, but we're fighting a lot more, and its always about stupid things, never anything really important. I started working at a bar midway through our relationship and it was a good step for me because the money is much better. But I sort of think he gets more self conscious because of where I work. I am left barely any time to hang out with any of MY friends, or WORK friends, even. As soon as I get off of work, he is sitting there waiting to go home with me, which at first I thought was a sweet gesture, making sure I made it home safe late and night, but now its just kind of annoying. He is always there, always ON HIS WAY. I love him, or at least I am pretty convinced that I do, but this has got to stop. I've tried talking about it with him many times but there is never any success, it only leads into another fight. How can I explain to him well enough that I need my time and space with MY FRIENDS and time with him, also? Some people have previously suggested a "break" but I really don't think that's going to do much good. Please help, any advice would be fantastic. Thank you all!

I am in dire need of obtaining a student loan for this coming semester (Fall 2010) but, I still have 2 student loans owed totaling around roughly $10,000. I recently applied for a credit card, and unfortunately was denied. After doing so, I went and checked my credit, nothing seems to be wrong with it, it just doesn't look too nice. Is there any way I could find a low interest-bad credit student loan? And if so, where? Thank you to anyone who even reads this post, I'm getting desperate. :)

Usually, my father is the hard one to deal with, but when it comes down to my boyfriend, my mother and grandmother have many opinions. Granted, they didn't have wonderful luck in the "love department" with men, but why can't I? My mother/grandmother both really don't want me dating anyone at all, and won't really come to terms with the fact that I am currently in a serious/ sometimes-long-distance relationship. I love the guy to death and hope to one day marry him and have his children, but sometimes I am stuck in the middle dealing with disagreements between my mother/grandmother and my boyfriend. I still live at home so I have to obey my parents, but I don't want to have my guy get the wrong idea. He already feels bad that I try to stay as neutral as possible to ensure everyone's happiness... but evidently neglect his, unintentionally. What can I do to make peace?!?!?! Any suggestions will help!
