  1. Gosh, I am sorry for the pain you are feeling. It's hard when a "friend" turns their back on you, especially one that is supposed to be more like family. Go with your heart, but keep in mind that just like in any relationship feelings are bound to be hurt again. Do you think she would toss you to the curb again if things weren't going the way she liked? She sounds like a "fair weather" friend, one that will stick with you when times are happy and carefree, but drops you the minute things get a little rocky. True friends back you up no matter what and are able to forgive, she does not sound like that type, but I can't say for sure since I do not know her. I think it's silly how she overreacted in the first place and thinks she needs to grow up. As much as it hurts, I would probably opt to move on and find people who will give you their friendship unconditionally.
  2. Well....start by saying hello and officially introducing yourself (if you haven't already) and go from there.
  3. I totally agree with miracle29 and catfood here. I think you would be doing what's in your best interest to walk away now and find yourself a man who will love and respect you like you deserve. This certainly wasn't your fault and you shouldn't have to parade around in your underwear to get him to stay.
  4. You really do need to just tell him it makes you feel special when he says that.
  5. You're welcome. Keep us posted and keep the faith!
  6. You have nothing to worry about- honest. At your appt. they will more than likely take x-rays and possibly impressions and do an oral exam. Then they will give you some options. Braces aren't that comfortable, but the end result will leave you smiling!
  7. Sure, braces can do wonders Go see an orthodontist and keep smiling!
  8. Well..... I'll try to give you a little hope here. My husband cheated on me and after A LOT of work, tears and ultimately forgiveness,we worked it out and have been married now for almost 17 years. This happened about 13 years ago with his co-worker while I was pregnant. I would say give her some space, let her "vent", accept responsibility for your actions, tell her you will do ANYTHING it takes for her to feel safe again, and get yourselves into counseling asap. If she won't go with you, go yourself. Trust is so easily broken, but can take a long time to rebuild. It is not impossible though. You will have to respect her feelings and whatever she decides to do. Personally, I loved my husband too much not to forgive him and move forward. It was hard, but well worth it. Today, I trust my husband and the affair is but a distant memory and has made me a stronger person and us stronger as a couple. I wish you the best and hope things work out for you.
  9. Yikes, that REALLY sucks!!!!
  10. Honestly, I think it's normal for him to be protective of his little boy. I would try not to take it personally. Your boyfriend is probably waiting to see where your relationship goes before introducing you to his son. It's really hard on little kids if they get attached and then things don't work out. It sounds like he cares for you though, so be patient and I'm sure you will be meeting him soon. I commend you for accepting his son and being so supportive.
  11. I'm sorry, you will have to excuse my senior moment, ha ha!!! does driving while barred mean? Driving without a license??????? Drunk driving???????? I have never heard that term before. I learn something new every day, ha ha!!
  12. Gee chai, do you have an older brother? ha ha!!! Your ideas are great!! I especially love the slide show idea, how sweet is that!!! Remembering some of her favorite things or finding out something she has always wanted and surprising her with it are a couple ideas too, but I have to say I am truly impressed with chai's ideas!
  13. I heard someone once say that an "ex" is an "ex" for a reason and for the most part I believe that. It sounds like you both have a lot on your plate with him just getting out of prison and having financial problems, a new baby, etc. I think it would be best to give him some space. Figure out what you REALLY want, put your priorities in order, and go from there. What was he in jail for if you don't mind my asking?
  14. When I was having problems, my dermatologist recommended a gentle cleanser like Dove unscented or something called Cetaphil and to wash with that twice a day. Overwashing can strip your skin and actually make your acne worse, so don't overdo it. Then use a mild astringent, one that's alcohol free. My family likes to use Witch Hazel because it's gentle and you can buy it at any drugstore and it is way less money than Sea Breeze. Then for spot treatments get a Benzoyl Peroxide treatment like Clearasil Ultra and apply it to the affected areas and follow with an oil free moisturizer. I like Cetaphil for that too. They have a cream and a lotion. If your skin in oily then get the lotion. You should see results quickly. Stay away from oil based products, make sure any make up you decide to use is non-comedegenic, and drink LOTS of water, it will help flush everything out.
  15. You are so welcome!! The kicking was always one of my favorite parts of pregnancy too!! Keep the faith!
  16. Well, I haven't personally, but..... I've had one friend who found her husband online and they have a beautiful little girl now. I believe it was like a few weeks or so before they met in person. They were both local. Also, another friend of mine is currently dating someone she met online. They met after a few weeks too and have been seeing each other for almost a year. I would say just be careful and if you are going to meet, do so in a public place. I wouldn't give out your home address or even oyur home number until you are sure of the person's character. If you have a cell that would probably be safer or even IMing to begin with.
  17. You know what miracle? I was kinda squeamish with mine too, so I am with you on that!! The afterbirth got me and made my husband cringe too!!Birth isn't very "pretty," but the outcome is well worth it. You are going to do GREAT and I hope that you will let us all know how it goes! I will keep you in my prayers for a safe and healthy delivery.
  18. Sorry if I made you feel bad too. It's quite obvious that you love your baby VERY much!! I hope that your new doctor can alleviate your fears. I think your fears of complications are perfectly normal, especially considering what you've been through already with the D&C, but I'm equally sure that your doctor will do what he feels is best to keep you and your baby safe throughout the rest of your pregnancy and delivery. I wish you the best!
  19. I agree with stratguy620. Sex is a HUGE step! And you're talking about having sex with a guy whom you haven't even kissed. Strat wasn't trying to talk down to you; he was just trying to get you to see the whole picture. It is very normal for you to have these sexual feelings, but don't jump into something you are not ready for. Make sure you have thought it through and are prepared for any consequences that may arise because of it.
  20. You could talk with your OB/GYN to rule out a hormonal imbalance. They also have all kinds of hair removal creams or you could look into laser treatments if it bothers you that much. It's a little pricier, but yields long lasting results.
  21. First of all congratulations on your pregnancy! I wish you and your baby health and happiness!! Your fears are perfectly natural. I had both my children naturally, but many of my friends had to have C-Sections to safely deliver their babies. Rest assured that medicine today is so much more advanced than even 13 years ago when I had my first. My friends remained awake for their C's, but every case is different. I know you want what's best for your baby and who knows, she may turn and you can give a vaginal birth a shot. The doctors don't want to put you or your baby through any unnecessary trauma. As for a scar, I don't want to sound rude here, but does it REALLY matter as long as your baby is healthy? One of my best friends had a C and her scar is barely noticeable. Try not to worry about what might happen and just concentrate on keeping yourself as stress free as possible because your little one can feel that. I'm sure you will be a wonderful mom and that everything will be just fine.
  22. You have nothing to be ashamed about. I agree, our bodies are covered with hair and I always wonder why we have to have hair where we don't want it!!! It could be a hormonal thing, so if it has you concerned I would make an appt. with the OB/GYN.
  23. I think everyone feels different or is new at some point in their lives. I would just say be yourself and be open to other people. Definitely join in and before you know it, you will have made some new friends.
  24. Hmmmmm........ I would suggest wearing boxers if you don't already and looser fitting pants if at all possible to give it time to "heal" properly. Friction may be the culprit. Also, you could try a little aloe vera. It has amazing healing properties.
  25. Maybe she just needs you to be more sensitive to her needs (and I'm not saying you're not), but perhaps she feels like you need her to be a sex machine. Do you do the whole romance and foreplay thing? Have you talked to her about why she hides the fact that she masturbates from you? I would sit her down and have a heart to heart. Maybe she is just feeling overwhelmed. How old are your kids?
