1 AnswerCorporations7 years agoShould I be mad my boyfriend not telling me he had a vasectomy?
My boyfriend is 40 and I'm 27. He already has 2 kids and I don't. We have been dating a little over a month but have gotten pretty serious fast. He has given me a key to his apartment and we see each other almost daily. He just told me yesterday that he has a vasectomy. While I'm not planning on having kids anytime soon, I'm kind of sad that it never occurred to him to tell me. Do you think this is something that shouldn't bother me?
2 AnswersSingles & Dating8 years agoWhy can't I eat in front of my boyfriend?
I know that everyone has different eating habits. I'm average in weight for my height and age and so is my boyfriend. But while I eat 3-4 times throughout the day depending on meal size, he only eats once. It makes me feel very self conscious about my eating habits. Even though I feel comfortable in my eight and know I'm healthy, I still know I would probably look better being about 10 pounds less. This makes me feel extremely self conscious when I'm hanging out with him because I want to eat more than he does. I don't know why his metabolism is the way it is, but I would hate eating only once a day and I find myself doing it when we spend the whole day together because I don't want to look like a heffer or something.
It has come to the point where it gives me anxiety to the point where I never plan a whole day of hanging out with him even if he wants to. Although he is completely unaware, I feel like this is hindering our relationship. Even though we have been together a long time, I never spend more than 5 hours with him at a time even though he wants to take trips and spend longer periods with me. How do I fix this?
2 AnswersOther - Society & Culture8 years agoShould my trans teen be able to use the womens restroom in school?
My teenage son is 17 years old. When he was 12 he came out as gay. Since he was 14 he expressed the desire to transition. Under supervision we have giver her that ability under doctor supervision but not until she is 18 can she fully transition. She wears female clothes, wears makeup, and the entire family and school is fully supportive. The qualms I have are with the school not letting her use the female restroom. All the girls at school have embraced her and don't seem to have any problem with her using the female restrooms. Is this something I should take to the school board, or is it something that can't be fought and just has to be accepted until she is fully transitioned?
5 AnswersLesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender8 years agoShould I date a man going through a divorce?
He had been sleeping in the basement of their house for 5 years before their kids moved out and decided to file for divorce. He has been living at his own place for about 6 months. He has gone out of a few dates with girls since then but just casual. We are starting to really like each other. The divorce isn't finalized because she is wanting a portion of his retirement money, so it's a battle. Should I end things since he's not LEGALLY divorced, or is it ok due to the circumstances?

1 AnswerSingles & Dating8 years agoWhat food will be best for performing a physically exerting task?
Say you eat a relatively normal diet, what food would pump you up quickly to perform a physically exerting challenge? Would it be a lot of carbs? Or a whole bunch of protein? This would execute both endurance and strength - very suddenly. Thanks so much for the help!
1 AnswerWomen's Health8 years agoHow can I convince my parents to treat their dog better?
I am 27 years old and no longer under an parental influence. However, I come from a traditional foreign family and visit about twice a week. They have 3 dogs. One dog in particular is very old, who will sadly will be have to be put down in the next year or two. He has lost most hearing and sight. I love the guy so much. He frequently pees throughout the house, which never used to be a problem. I assume it's just due to old age. When this happens my parents scold him and hit hit him in a very harsh manner. Very much more harsh than (in my opinion) a potty training puppy should be treated. He screams and yelps and I feel so terrible and yell at my parents for this, but they don't seem to understand my case. I have begged them for me to take on the dog's care and live with me but they brush me off and won't allow it. I feel so terrible for this animal and don't know how to convince my foreign parents that this isn't the right treatment. They are not bad people, I just don't think they understand.
7 AnswersDogs8 years agohow soon can I stretch my ears?
I've had my ears to a 0 gauge about 8 years ago. I decided to restretch them. They had shrunk back up to a size 14. I know you're supposed to wait at least a month between sizes, but is that true for even very small sizes? I couldn't fit a 12g in when I started again, but today it fits (a few days later). Do I still have to wait the whole month before going from 14 to 12?
3 AnswersOther - Skin & Body8 years agowhat area of study is best to go into?
I know that you should go into a field that interests you, but all my areas of interest are not practical. I don't really have any skills. Just out of curiosity what career can you get out of a community college or vocation school that pays the most but is not very difficult? I don't have much money for schooling and I'm in my mid 20s.

2 AnswersOther - Internet8 years agoif you call a person from a blocked number can it later be traced?
Someone stole my laptop. I hired a detective because it wasn't just my laptop. I had an "if found please call" on it. A week after it was stolen someone (the person who stole it) called me from a blocked number. Can/will the police check my phone records to find out who it is through my phone records or whatever even though it was blocked? The police detective hasn't gotten back to me on this.
4 AnswersLaw Enforcement & Police8 years agowill I get a subpoena to make a statement?
So about 2 weeks ago I had a broken leg and was staying with my sister so she could take care of me. While she was at work one day I took my dog up to the park right next to her house and found a laptop on a bench in the park. No one was around so I took it inside. My sister's neighborhood has an email newsletter thing so we made a posting on there. After a couple of days with no response I call the police department and explained what happened so they came and picked it up. The next day while my sister was at work a 2 people were the and one with a badge around her neck. They said that the laptop had been traced to this house. I explained I had turned it in and they called the police department to confirm it. It checked out but she said I had to come into the police station to make a statement and said it would take about an hour. I'm back where I live an hour away still with a broken leg. By law, do I HAVE to? What will happen if I don't? I turned it in and did the right thing and just want to be done with it.
2 AnswersLaw Enforcement & Police8 years agois A&D ointment ok on tattoos?
So I'm no newbie to tattoos, My arms are covered and I'm just recently starting to do my leg:
Anyway, I'm terrible on aftercare on this one but thaat's not the point. My guys tells me to use A&D ointment for 24 hours and then switch to lotion, so I do. No matter how often that lotion is applied it flakes and scabs. BFD right? Well, the scabs always seem to get ripped off on my clothes or something and then the color on the spot it much lighter and faded. Wack. This never happens when I use A&D. So I would just use that but tattooers are like "nooo. you'll diiiie. loljkjk"
But how bad is it REALLY? I just like it better. Is it really going to do a bunch of damage?
