About eight months ago, I started dating a lovely man in a new city I moved to, and things were going very well. We were both from the same country, and things were going very smoothly to begin with....

She might feel she doesn't "deserve" you, that it's draining her to try and be a "proper" person.
You need to let her know you will be as much help as you possibly can, either as a friend or a...

I think here in ireland most people are friends with their exes. It's a small country after all, and not to easy to avoid people! Also, it's a more tribal society, people socialise in groups and...

STOP THE LIGHTS! Yeah it sounds brilliant, and it souds mutual. Please don't worry about his feelings for you, or you will let it get further out of control!
Trust me, I'm going through something...

Thanks so much for your replies. The video help downloader looks easy enough.
Have just opened a free send-it account. It looks like the idiot-proof option for now.
When my computer literacy and...

Hi there,
I have saved some video files on my computer and want to email them. They are bigger than 10mb so won't send as attachments.
How do I either resize them? Or send them another way? (I...

Hi Holly,
Have you applied for council housing? You are entitled to your own house, and can you share living with friends and family members until something suitable comes up in the interim so you...

Wow thanks for advice. Have uninstalled limewire now.

Really? My laptop has been making funny noises for a while now, and I did download limewire a few months back, before the slight humming sound became constant. Been meaning to buy a hard drive to...

Limewire is a site where you share your music with other people. It's free.

best of luck to all of you!
I haven't smoked in over two months now. It was tough at first, I had terrible cravings.
I have been having acupuncture and acupressure though, and it has helped a huge...

Do you know how I can change it from automatically opening in windows media player (which won't play it for me "codecs needed or something")? I still can't access it to hear it.

Hi,
I can't open this file, it doesn't seem to be a music file but a text file. I am Irish so might have heard of it.

Yes it can lower your sex drive. Depending on the individual. I have been using Nuvaring, a slow-release contraceptive that's worn internally for 21 days per month for the last two years. It's quite...

Old Blood? A period whilst on the pill is not a real period, it's "breakthrough" bleeding, a sort of withdrawal from the artificial pregnancy hormones the pill gives us. I don't think it's possible...

Stay out.
She's probably just in a headspin because she doesn't know where she stands with your other friend.
Or refuses to see it.
She's just "temporarily" unstable.
I would still back away....

Hi Yorgo
Apologies for my strong post, it was a little cutting to say the least. I lost my temper when I wrote it. Childhood neglect or perceived abandonment is a personal sore spot for me, and I...

But that's terrible for you!
Having your ex's family as a second family knits you all together. It's suffocating for your ex, and makes you more dependent on HER family. It's tough on you, your own...

What age are you? You sound quite young.
Also, are you suffering from post natal depression?

Is this woman taking meds for her manic depression? It doesn't sound like it. And that is also NO excuse for her behaviour.

YOU on the other hand are the father. What are YOU going to do about it?...

Fluffy Clouds,
My advice: you are young, 21 and the world is bigger than this.
There are hundreds, thousands, millions of men. It's a shame you feel love for this man, but you can feel love for...

Hey val,
Tried to rate you but have to spread the love! Nod list, that's brilliant! I'm definitely going to follow up on that one! It's great food for thought. All that energy wasted with idiots,...

I feel for you, this is a confusing tale, paragraphs aside.
Essentially Kathy's mother broke up with you, which is very bizarre indeed.
I think you have a right to be totally bewildered here!
It...

You're not going to hell and you're not weird!
I think you should repost this in the sexuality section, as more people may see it who will be able to give you advice.
Do you have anyone, a friend...

Agree with Skell, physical exercise is good during your time off.

At work, try observation exercises: how many people you see wearing hats, how many different shades of each colour you can notice...

Woah!
"man who had the misfortune of marrying a woman who is in this country illegally "
This wasn't just like someone catching a cold, he chose to marry this woman. And yes,the repercussions have...

"We're taking a pound of strawberries"

European French speakers use the metric system, not the imperial (metric being introduced after the French Revolution).

Great to hear that things are going well for you! :D
I agree with everyone else here, and it seems your gut instinct is similar - spot on as usual! Take it slowly, you're both adapting gradually...

Maybe you regret letting everyone know, but your hormones have been all over the place, you have suffered a loss, and perhaps you felt the need to share where you have been at with people.
The fact...

Hi there,
It sounds to me like your children see you taking this child support as some sort of weakness. They look down on you for taking it, and put you down for it. Why?
Are they possibly ashamed...

I agree with Valinor's Sorrow here, but also had to spread some love around...

You really need to clear out your head a little bit. IE: Get help!

And what do you mean she doesn't "write you in...

By making your friend cancel the meeting, you avoid accepting that you are trying to control this guy's actions.
Are you so afraid he might sneak off with your mate behind your back that you...

Talk about kicking you when you're down! What does he think he's punishing you for anyway?
Agree with both posts above.
Keep strong xx

I wasn't allowed commend your post KP, but you've hit the nail on the head. THere are strong signs of an inferiority complex here, but Holly seems much better than all of this messing, and as you...

YOU'RE BOTH DRIVING EACH OTHER ROUND THE TWIST! She finds you boring, irritating and you constantly try to please her and placate her, which in turn annoys her, you then feel slighted and upset and...

"isn't Kim a girls name?"

It's used as a boys' name in Scandinavia I believe.

I love the names

Joshua,
Dmitry,
Callum
Dara (means oak tree in Irish)
Fiach (pronounced Fee-och)
Naoise (pronounced Nee-sha)
Derren

I'm so happy to hear that! Well done, and btw- what a horrible thing to do, call you up and tell you he wanted to sell your gift to him? What an ars*hole indeed! Is that a serious statement or what! ...

Hi Holly,
I haven't been on the site in a while, and I'm sorry to hear about all the upheaval you've been going through. It must be taking every ounce of strength to remain focused and strong for...

I don't know if I agree with Cgirl here at all. I think it might be pretty impossible to have a social connection with someone I had seen for professional help in dealing with emotional issues.

I...

You could go to a doctor for a medical check up to rule out a physiological condition:
Things to check for include: hypoglycaemia, thyroid malfunction, poor mineral/ vitamin absorption.

Try and...

YES. Many bulimics are in fact, overweight. Also, their weight is more prone to fluctuation than with anorexics, who generally are quite underweight with a strong decline pattern.

While sever...

What stands out for me, is that this woman was only taking pills twice a week. I have never heard of this before. Usually, you take a pill every day for 21 days, with a 7 day break to have a...

LOL, this is the result I got when I ran the search... This is some sort of fractyl thing, isn't it?

"gerry mangar" - Google Search

Congratulations both of you!

I've just read all these posts and something is jumping out at me.
DinMO, you have said:

Hey I am just here venting like everyone else. When I need a place to go, someone to listen, I post here....

To be honest, you're better waiting till your due date and seeing if something is amiss when you recommence with the next month of pills - you don't mention how "intimate" you were. (Spell it out,...

Not at all! No offence taken. I think I didn't explain this too well though. I just meant sometimes I think my cousin should be more aware of what is happening around her and be aware of the...

Hi Crocivic,
Ok I'm going just say what I think. Watching TV is like chewing gum, you do it, and a part of your brain just switches off - you don't have to think. The times I watch it the most are...
