My fiancee and I have been engaged for a little over a year now and we've dated for a little over 3 years. In the beginning, things were hot and heavy as usual in any relationship, but then we moved in together and things slowly started to hit a wall.

Now after living together for two years I cant even figure out how to approach her anymore when i think the mood is right. When we talk about it she says shes never weighed as much as she does and she feels gross and fat and is really insecure.

I find my fiancee to be gorgeous and tell her if anyone she should be comfortable around it should be me. I actually start to question if she just doesn't want to make love to me. Seriously, we went eight months with just kissing. We don't even have oral or make out. So i know i sound like a stubborn selfish guy but Im just wondering what is causing my fiancee to be this way. To not even have oral sex with your clothes on? Or even make love with the lights out? It just has me so confused.

My fiancee has a fun awesome job and has great friendships with her coworkers. She goes to concerts with friends, bingo nights, even to a knitting classes.

Me, I have an ok job that I don't consider to be personal friends with people there, my friends are always busy and I hardly do any activities.

I feel like I am the home-body person and sometimes feel like I'm boring. Only problem is that I don't know what to get into or how to go about it. I don't want to give my fiancee the impression that I am always doing something but it would atleast be nice to be involved with something other than just working and then coming home to a couch all day.

Some friends and family are insisting I have very bas amxiety. Sometimes when people I really care about and I have a negative situation going on, for example I worry my fiancee is going to leave me and I actually paint this picture in my head of why she would and once it makes sense to me I am overcome with tension, shortbreafh, and my heart pounding. I am just wondering if things like this are considered anxiety.

I am in a very happy place, but I am a guy who likes to protect and bring safety to my family. Lately in my head I can't help but think such negative things. A family member getting a bad disease or getting hurt and put in a bad situation that would cause them harm.

I like to be positive but my protective side kicks in and thinks "what if?" Then my anxiety overpowers me and I go into a weird place of worry and concern for my loved ones. It's just weird to me and I was wondering if anyone ever had that happen and how to control it.

I got a new job and my commute has caused me to search for a nee car.

My credit score is not good. Like high 500's not good.

But I have roughly 10k from recently selling my truck. So I've been looking at good cars for roughly around 16-18k.

So I am wondering if putting down 10k would make that a good down payment or would I need more due to my bad credit. That is the vehicle I purchase is no more than 18k.

I shower at night simply because I am up way to early and my commute takes up most of my morning.

But sometimes I catch a woof of my skin and it smells almost stale like. Especially in the joint areas where my inner elbows my neckline etc. i am guessing this is from body heat overnight?

Any ways i am looking for some tips other than brush your teeth and fix your hair in the morning. Anyone else takes showers at night? Should I put something on before bed?

I recently gained a new career in a workplace that is completely research and development. All of the positions there are considered R&D due to the fact the branch of the company is new. So I can be creative with my job and develop new routines and processes as a I see fit as long as its approved by my boss.

Last week was my first week and I was overwhelmed with the fact that they have so much development with the big picture of things that they are letting little things be neglected such as production schedules and inventory which is what I handle. I have an extensive amount if experience in this field and was kind of surprised to see they weren't taking these two processes very serious.

Should I confront my boss and explain how they should consider looking into improving these methods. And I can also show them some options or should I wait a little while till it seems I have gained further knowledge and have more involved with the company.

My white oven has some really tough yellowing like stains on the front and open side of it. Really really tough to get off. Any recommendations? I was going to try steam cleaning. Only tried disinfectant and the oven cleaner which is for the inside of the oven, no luck.

I just picked up a really vintage dresser. Solid wood and a faded chipped blue paint. I like the look of the distressing but the texture just seems a little too rough and would make it really hard to clean. Any tips on what i can do? Can i clear coat or lay some sort of protectant on it? If I sand it i worry the paint will easily fall off as its all fairly cracked or chipping already.

I recently installed my ac unit for the summer and turned it on a week or so ago. I noticed a smell coming from it as if it was a dirty sock smell.

I washed and cleaned it out last fall so I cant understand why the smell, but i did not clean the coils. This unit is just one summer old i bought new last may.

Is there a way i can clean the unit without removing? I spray some water in the back of it to wash any debris or dirt out of it.

I read online about window ac units giving a smell at times and some relate it to a dirty sock. I cleaned out my 2 ac units last fall and a month in to them being installed they both are kicking up this smell at the same time. I did not clean the coils on the back or front though but these units are only a year old and used only in the summer since I live in the northeast so i figured a basic cleaning was all it needed. I then boxed them back up after drying and stored them away.

This year though, i silicone caulked fiberglass screening around the outside grates to prevent debris from getting inside of the unit. Would that be the smell? I don't see how.

Should I clean the coils and if so should I remove the units from the window to do so?

I have a townhouse and the front porch has a small lawn section I tend to and is considered my responsibility. Rather than laying a bunch of mulch and only have three small hedges spread out already in the ground, I am left with roughly 30sq ft of area I would like to have plants go and cover up the empty areas rather than lay mulch again this year. Any opinions or advice? Thanks!

If i walk into a bar and ask for a beer I typically am going to request a yiengling. I don't know all these fancy beers but lately there has been a surge of breweries to pop up around my city and when I go to them I seem to always get a beer I don't like.

So my question is with my general preferred taste of yiengling is there a certain beer I should ask for that has that same similiar style taste or brew?

I notice more and more my fiancee and I tend to be that couple that sometimes can smother each other with every detail about our day and telling each other our exact move and when we will be home and all that stuff.

I read constantly about how successful couples tend to be independent and do their own things while still being with their partner and having a healthy relationship.

Anyone have any tips on how to be independent and yet have a healthy loving relationship?

I am installing a window AC unit in my window and it says to mount the unit referencing the holes by drilling into the frame and screwing the unit to support the window and unit and prevent the unit from falling out.

Only problem - what kind of drill bit can i use to safely do this?

Since I can remember I have always had fairly oily skin on my face especially my forehead. This past friday I was working outside and was sweating pretty bad. I sweat pretty easily and after showering that night I looked in the mirror to a head full of acne. Little tiny whiteheads practically on top of each other.

This is not the first time its happened and I usually try to scrub wash and keep up with it for a while but with such oily skin and easily sweating in hot weather its hard to keep up with.

I typically just wash my face in the shower and apply an oil free moisturizer.

My fiancee and I hit a road bump and as of late I have been taking my actions and feelings into consideration and one thing I notice is sometimes I can be quite smothering.

We live together but i work early and she works till roughly 8 so its not like we see each other all day besides the weekends and weeknights but I just feel like sometimes she would enjoy to come home and me be not home. And I really would like to know what I can do to be in a relationship thats loving and wonderful and yet not suffocate the person by being around them 24/7. We text alot while we work too and I think thats a problem as well.

Over the past month my fiancee and I have hit a road bump where I think it may be a case of cold feet and she has really hit a wall with wondering if this is all right for her.

I notice one thing with us is that I am always asking whats wrong or if she is ok. Even at the most innocent times when she seems to be perfectly fine. I guess its just the protective side in me but maybe it comes off as paranoid and unstable.

There are plenty other situations like this as well and its such a bad habit so how can I show confidence in myself and in us?

My fiancee and I have really hit a wall. Long story short I asked her about therapy together because we go to individual therapy but she says "i dont know, I will think about it." And she says she has her doubts because she saw her parents do therapy and it didn't work.

The reason we hit a wall is because she is unsure of things and really doesn't know what she wants out of life or whether she really wants marriage or kids anymore.
