From what I've read, the future of this relationship looks very bleak. If you're considering about the future of your child, I think he/she would be better off if you two separated. I am probably biased because I grew up in a family where my parents hated each other and it wasn't pretty. I don't like how she tries to control you by forcing you to disown your sister? That seems a bit extreme. I wish I could stay get out of it, but it seems like your situation being in the army is difficult. Its tough to be all by yourself. However, do you think your wife is supporting you? Or making your life worse?

I suppose you feel this way because you still have feelings for that girl. You're jealous of their relationship but you feel that you have to root them on because of your duties as a good friend. You could confront them and tell them that you feel uncomfortable around them and just take some time away from them. It's better to be upfront about it rather than keeping it inside until you erupt.

I don't know why but I feel empty and alone even though I'm probably not. At family events (like New Year's Eve) I sit and say nothing. I'd rather just stay at home by myself. I talked alot before, but now I hardly say a word. I feel like no one cares. I talked to my mother and she got angry that I was giving up on the world and that I was only a teenager. I don't want to open up, but at the same time I really do want someone to listen to me. Actually, my mother and I had a close bond and used to talk about everything together. Feelings, pains... but during the summer we suddenly stopped talking. My mother is suffering from a horrible relationship with my father and they continually fight with each other. I suppose I didn't want to burden her with more problems/ things to worry about. I don't know why I feel so empty. I can't tell if I'm enjoying school, work and hanging out with friends anymore. I put on a happy facade, but deep down inside I feel incomplete and searching for something. I'm sorry if I'm rambling and that there's no actual question to this thread, but I just thought that I'd feel better if someone paid attention.. I suppose. Maybe its the pressure of the transition to University (next September) or the anxiety of becoming an "adult" in society's perspective. I don't really see the point in anything. Why bother studying for a job that I probably won't want to wake up and go to? I'll study hard so that I can work harder. Sure more money I suppose, but in a hustle and bustle society like ours, aren't the long hours at work affecting our mental health? More money doesn't equate to more happiness. I think it just futher complicates our already complex lives. I'd rather stay sane, work less hours and make a lower wage. Wow... I really am just rambling now. Anyways I don't really want to bother my friends.. or my family. I just don't feel happy. I'm confused, lonely and afraid of the future.

go with A ... bcz you seem more emotionally invested in her. just wondering... what's wrong with having a long distance relationship. phone, email, letters.. they work.. right..?

Yes initially, outward appearances matter when meeting new people. However, personality is a far more attractive quality. A smiling face and happy persona can do wonders. On the other hand, negative attitudes.. are not so attractive. If you can't get rid of the pimple, then get used to them and live with it. Don't gloom and doom over it. So you won't be the most attractive person of the bunch. It's ok, don't worry. Ps. Maybe take frequent showers.. and use those oxy pads? ( i dunno.. never used them.. ..i use the benzoyl cream)

My advice: Don't focus so much on the ADD, focus more on him. If you can stand it, enjoy it. If you can't, you simply can't and leave. If you don't know, go on a couple more dates with him

I agree with Eddie. I'm the same. Outgoing with friends but, shy and reserved with the one that im interested in. however, i personally make a lot of small talk, smile and joke alot with eye contact.... so if a guy is interested in you.. id have to say he'll notice you more and make every attempt to get you to notice him more

There's more to life than just getting girls. Major acne problems aren't the end all be all. If you can find someone who can see past your pimples, they'll be a much more suitable person to spend your time on. Keep living .. and try and see a doctor. Maybe more stronger acne creams work better.

Well.. there's this girl that I like. and I started hanging out with her often and she seems to enjoy my company. she laughs at my small awkward jokes and smiles at me. at times when we're alone, our conversations are enjoyable. however, im kind of shy so im not so straightforward with my feelings... and don't know if she views me as just a friend. usually when we do things together, its bcz of a common friend. This common friend knows my feelings and tries to help me. however, the frnd has no idea what she thinks of me. however i do know that they talk about me alot. if most of our friends know that i like her, but she doesnt act upon it, is she shy.. ? is that a no? or should i make a move? she's not avoiding me..so im just wondering.. is it too bold of me to ask her on a date?
