  1. I would have to say that you are being pretty sexist. Whether male or female we are both human. Why would it be an advantage for only one sex to want to be loyal while the other sex does not? It is totally unfair to say that women can have as much sex as they want but should keep it in a respectable number just to please you, while you can go and have sex with tons of women and not be judged for it. I find your opinion infuriating and pretty ignorant.
  2. I need serious help with relieving stress in my life right now. I am a junior in college and am HATING it. It depresses me because freshman and sophomore year I was great at school, got great grades and generally enjoyed being here. But this year I can not get motivated. I hate my living situation, I live with my best friends in a house and I am starting to get annoyed and dislike them and think it would be best to live on my own, but I signed a lease that goes through senior year so I can't really change that. I hate all my classes, most are just to get credit hours or fill general requirements. The stress is so bad that I have started grinding my teeth in my sleep and have severe jaw pain that is adding to how crappy of a situation this is. The only thing keeping me sane is my supportive boyfriend, knowing that I will be getting an internship doing something I love this summer and the fact that I will be studying in Rome next semester (which will give me a much needed break from my roommates). Getting through this semsester seems like an impossible task. Anyone have any stress relief suggestions? Thanks!
  3. Your friends seem pretty oblivious. I have a boyfriend and so do many of my friends but there are times when you just know that it is girl time and it is not appropriate to bring your boyfriend. Like when my roommates say "do you want to watch a movie tonight" it is just implied that I shouldn't have my boyfriend come over because we are going to spend time being girly together. It is important to have time away from your boyfriend, it can really ruin friendships (obviously you know this first hand as it is ruining your friendship with her). There are even times when I feel as though I NEED some girl time because I can tell I have been with my boyfriend too much...most people should have this natural ability to tell when it is appropriate and inappropriate to invite a SO. I also understand wanting him to not be in your work area. You should find a way to get that stopped, I am sure if you report it, it would be anonymous. I too go to a school that has cost me $60,000 in loans so far and I still have one more year to go! I'd be annoyed if some guy was distracting me from getting good grades at a school I have worked so hard at and paid so much money for.
  4. No he hasn't said anything to make me feel this way. He is very sweet and supportive, I haven't even told him that I feel this way. I do know that he thinks I am very lucky to have the opportunity that I have. Thanks for the advice, I feel slightly better. I am involved in some campus activities and have had an internship and am working on getting another one for this summer, I am even going abroad next semester, I think I am just having an easy semester and that is making me feel slightly guilty as well...I am taking only electives because last semester was hard and I didn't do very well. Thanks for the support...I feel as though it may just be a phase and things will pick up this summer when I also have to work full time. I think it honestly is just that I don't have very much on my plate this semester and it makes me feel lazy. I didn't realize this until just now, so thanks for helping me to reflect on my feelings.
  5. he's a jerk. he wants to have his cake and eat it too. I have been in this situation before, best thing to do is not talk to him and try to move on. good luck!
  6. Hi...not sure if this is the right forum. Anyway, I have been dating this guy for 5 months, we are both 21. He works full time at a car dealership and I go to school. Currently I do not have a job because I am having a REALLY hard time finding a part time job. I feel really inadequate and like a huge slacker compared to him. Like today, I don't have class until 1pm and he has to get up at 7am to go to work and works from 7:30am until 4:30pm. I just feel like I am doing nothing with my life. Adding to this is the fact that I am sick right now and haven't gone to class today. He pays for everything while I still get money from my parents for school and living expenses. I don't think he cares but I feel pathetic for some reason like I can't even take care of myself...believe me I want to but at this point in my life I don't HAVE to and I also don't really have the resources to. We come from VERY different families, his family is the work hard type and is not very well off so he has to work for everything he wants whereas my parents are pretty wealthy and take care of me, I'm not a brat, I appreciate what they give me but I also feel guilty. Just wondering if anyone else feels like they do nothing compared to their SO. It just makes me feel like crap even though I know I am furthering my education and once I graduate I will have a great degree and be making good money.
  7. The reason she did this was to get a reaction out of the both of you. Well, it worked. You shouldn't have said anything, you shouldn't have let her know that it bothers you. It's just a stupid blog and people that you don't even know or like, it shouldn't matter what they think. I say just let it go and be happy with your bf...it's really not worth worrying about because in the end she is the one who looks dumb and immature.
  8. I use one called Happy Light , the brand is bourjois. It is moisturizing with medium coverage, it has "light capturing pigments" meaning that it makes your skin glow. I love it. Got it at Ulta...don't know if you have those but it around $20 and mine lasted for 6 months. Just go in to the store and have a sales person tell you which color you are. I absolutely LOVE this foundation.
  9. Ok, this may sound terrible but I am so beyond annoyed with one of my best friends for not being able to get over her jerk of an ex-boyfriend. They dated in HIGH SCHOOL, we are now juniors in college. I know how she feels, I had a really hard time getting over my high school bf but I still did it. She cannot date anyone else because of this and just hooks up with people and is unhappy about it. They have a long history, have been family friends for many many years so I understand why she would want to remain friends with him, but she does not even take time away from being in contact/obsessing over him so that they can be friends. Like recently, on his school's website there was an article posted about him and she would not stop talking about it and reading it. She even forced me to read it, she has read it probably 20 times since she found it. Why was she even able to find it in the first place?? She has been doing better, not contacting him but he also contacts her. It is so annoying, he has been dating a girl for a year and he still won't allow herself to get over him. It pisses me off so much. I love this girl, she is definitely one of my best friends and it just makes me sad that she will not stick up for herself and just deal with the breakup. She is positive they are meant to be together, but what if they are really meant to just be friends? Both me and another one of our friends have told her NOT to mention him to us because no matter what we say she still obesses and won't get over it. I want to be there for her, but any advice we might give she argues with as to why he is not that bad. What can I do to help her in this situation? I am trying to be a good friend and in all other aspects I believe I am, but this is starting to drive me crazy.
  10. Oh man, I can not even BEGIN to tell you how annoyed I am at my boyfriend for playing WoW!!! I am so glad that I see someone else feeling the same so I don't feel like such a b**ch for being mad when he plays it. I am OK when he goes to his friends houses and spends the night there playing but it makes me SO MAD when he come to my house and says he's gonna play it while I am doing so and so and then keeps playing it for so many hours after I am done taking a shower or doing homework or whatever. Just talk to him about it and set boundries for when he can and cannot play the game. I know it sounds controlling, but for people who are addicted to WoW and other games like it, it is the only way to get them to understand. Good luck, I totally feel for you on this one.
  11. The thing that you have to realize is that you WILL be let down until they are the one you are supposed to spend the rest of your life with. If you live life in fear of breaking up and being heartbroken then you will never find someone. You have to date in order to find the person you want to be with forever, relationships are a risk but in order to get to the good you have to go through some bad. Just accept the fact that sometimes relationships go bad, you have to live in the moment and not worry about the future so much. Force yourself to trust her, I know the exact feeling you have right now but it is better to trust someone and be let down then to go through life not trusting anyone.
  12. I have felt that way for an entire year, and the guy was a total jerk who cheated on me and never made me feel good. Then over a year later I met someone else and he is awesome. There is definitely hope, it will just take time, work on yourself and don't even think about future relationships just think about how to be happy on your own.
  13. My boyfriend and I have been dating for a little over 2 months. Up until last week he spent every night except for one at my house. My roommates started giving him s**t for it, I am pretty sure they were just kidding, saying things like "you practically live here, you just don't pay rent" and stuff like that. The thing is another one of our roommates' boyfriend stays there practically every night as well. I also started to think maybe we should spend a little time apart so he decided he would stay somewhere else 2-3 nights a week. We can't stay at his house because it is too far from school and is in a scary neighborhood, he doesn't even like being there after dark and is planning to move out this summer. So last week he spent a few nights at his friend's house and I freaked out. I felt like he didn't want to spend any time with me and we got in a HUGE fight on Sunday night. Since then, I feel like something is wrong but he says there isn't, maybe it's just me. But I also feel pathetic because it was only one week and I freaked out. Basically, I want to know why I did this when it was MY IDEA to spend time apart. Also, how do I control my emotions, I have only been in one other serious relationship that lasted about 3 years total on and off. The end of it was horrible and he cheated on me. I am so paranoid and jealous, I want to know how to control it. I totally trust him and know that he loves me but I can't help but still have the psychotic tendencies I had in my last relationship. I just feel like I created this wall in our relationship and I don't know how to break it down. On a slightly unrelated note, does anyone know of any fun but cheap things to do with your SO? I really need some ideas because I want us to be able to spend time together out of my house, but we both do not have very much money. I live in Indiana so there is nothing cool like a beach here and it is pretty nasty and cold out most of the time. Thanks!!
  14. I am not a professional photographer, but I hope to be someday. It is a hobby of mine, I have been doing it for about 6 years. Anyway, I do black and white and honestly you NEED to take a class and have someone show you how to do it, it is hard to understand otherwise. I could sit here and type how to do it, but you need the hands on experience. There are a lot of chemicals involved and just mixing them is hard, let alone using them. I have been doing it for a long time and I still have a lot to learn. You should check out an art center in your area, that's where I started. They will let you rent out darkroom time as well. Almost every city has some sort of art center. The teachers there are usually very nice and like to help people, you may even find a mentor which would a big help to starting a career...if that's what you want. Make sure that you sign up for the right type of class, a black and white photography class that specifies that you will spend time in the dark room. Feel free to PM me if you have questions or want to share photos.
  15. This doesn't really answer your question but one of my roommates learned in her psychology class that if you offer someone food and they take it, it means that they really like you. So I hope you took it to subconsciously signal that you like him. jk.
