But I was wondering if anybody knew an answer to my question, nonetheless. I recently read that PID can affect fertility...does anybody know how long it takes, if left untreated, to affect it?

Oh wow, it breaks my heart to read that, and I really wish there was something that could be said to make you feel better. You will find that friends and families will come together,especially from such a small school, and support one another and that can only begin to help each other heal. We had 5 different incredibly tragic deaths at my high school within 4 months. Rumors surfaced with each and every death so sometimes it's hard to believe some things that are said. But in the end everybody came together, even if they didn't personally know the victims. I'll keep you and your high school in my thoughts.

Give it some time and you'll realize you're better off. It's definitely a big adjustment. Do you regret it because you were together for over 2 years? I knew a girl that kept going back to her boyfriend after breaking up constantly because "I already wasted __ years with him"...I never understood the point in "wasting" a few more. I hope everything turns out well.

I was in this situation at first, [i'd lost most of my good friends because of a past relationship-- big mistake!]. I've got one or two somewhat close friends, and a good amount of aquaintances, but I always felt inferior in that aspect to my current boyfriend who is adored by many. But then when he's been in town [it's a LDR], we'd hang out with his friends and I love them! I suppose it worked out for me then because now I hang out with them even when R isn't in town, so yay! I don't really see an issue though...some people are just alot more outgoing than others, what matters most is how your relationship is when it's just you two. Like somebody else said, whoever is the one that isn't the social butterfly can spend time doing things that they wouldn't usually do while the other is out with friends. Whatever it takes to have fun!

Some of us can't help it!! But hey at least I'm aware I have a ridiculously loud laugh. My only major pet peeve is people eating really fast, shoveling their food down...my boyfriend does that...so I've joked and said "babe the meat is dead already, don't worry it's not going anywhere". I know there are alot worse habits, so I'm learning to tolerate it.

I've only had about 3 years of work experience, and all of it was in retail. 2 1/2 years at once place that I left because my boss and co-workers drove me crazy, and the second one was only a few months long because the store closed. In those 3 years I've dealt with enough crazy people to realize I don't EVER want to work in retail again! Anyway, I'm job hunting right now, and I'd much rather work in some sort of office environment. I enjoy working with computers, filing, organizing, taking phone calls, all that good stuff. My only problem is, how to I get potential employers to consider me when my only experience is in retail? What are your experiences in finding a job in a completely new field? Thanks! Also- my college education won't help at all...I only took a semester before taking a break.

I like my boyfriends little pot belly! For whatever reason, I prefer them over a six-pack.

One week is better than nothin'...enjoy your time off, and good luck with your new job! I hope everything works out. ...and I was VERY happy to see the 'Go Irish!' lol.

Well if it was just a random hookup then you aren't with them, are you? thereforeeee there's nothing to justify...maybe you just did it cuz you could, I know after my ex and I broke up, I had my fun, there's no need to justify it as anything other than having fun while being single. My apologies in advance if I misunderstood your question. PS- I've felt cheap at times, depending on who I hooked up with [wow I'm making it sound like it was a constant thing...]

It's still a good idea to give 2 weeks, and leave on a good note...*you never know*. Unlike me, seeing as I went on my lunch one day and never came back

way to go! it's not often you hear people happy to go to the gym keep it up!

The past is in the past for a reason. What good really comes out of knowing the number of people your partner has been with?

Just a thought, the baby-talk could kind of be habitual after awhile...my ex-boyfriend used to talk to me like that all the time. Eventually I would just respond with a 'look' and say "I have no idea what you just said..." or something equally flat and unamused. You should try it and she may get the hint.

I agree with the premarital counseling idea. My sister and her fiance see their priest every other week and she said their relationship is 125000% better. It's definitely worth a shot, especially if the marriage is 'no matter what'.

I had excruciating pain like that too, and it turned out I needed a root canal. If I were you I'd talk to the dentist rather than relying on tylenol.

I'm [just about] 19, 5'6 and I used to be 110...then I went to college. The freshman 15 definitely caught up to me but everybody says I look much healthier now. I don't have really any advice to offer, seeing as I gained weight just by eating 3 big meals a day and snacking at night, but none of it was really that healthy. But way to go on gaining weight the healthy way! I hope it continues to work out for you.

Thanks so much, I felt alot better after reading that. I can only hope that's how things work out, and I'm glad to hear things did for you, too.

Thank goodness for this site... I'll try to explain myself as well as possible without writing a novel [no guarantees though!] This is my first time posting, so a little background info...I'm the typical [almost!] 19 year old...enjoys friends and parties, that kinda thing. Attended college for a couple months but went through a depression so I decided to take a break [school was never ever my thing anyway]. I've got a long distance boyfriend who's moving back soon thankfully . He's about all I've got going for me at this point. Alright, I've got a decent sized immediate family, bigger than most, really. There seems to be an issue of two-facedness between everybody...except me. Now I'm not saying I'm perfect, but I sure as the heck can't imagine talking crap about my own family, no matter how crazy they can get. It's been an ongoing problem for awhile, all this he-said she-said business. When somebody has a problem with somebody else, they don't go straight to that person to talk it out, they talk about it behind their back. It drives me insane...I don't see the point of it...I was pretty sure that everybody's lives aren't SO boring they have to talk crap about their own family. I got a call the other day from somebody saying "K [my sister-in-law whom I have the biggest problem with] said this-and-this about you and your mom."Well! That was the end of my rope...because I've been losing sleep over this problem. So I sent K a lengthy email, all the while very angry, telling her what I heard and also how I never appreciated her attitude, among a few other things I had a problem with. Okay, sent. I get a call today from my brother [her husband], and we majorly fought. Major. I stood up for my opinion but I also apologized once again for anything that I heard that wasn't true [i said that in the email, too].I also assured him that I did NOT single her out...I have gone off on my mom and my sister before for all the nonsense crap talking they do, that I don't want to hear. He let me know he's heard things from my "trusty sources" that I'm "a drunken sl*t that's going nowhere in life". Ouch. I'm not sure exactly what my issue is...I'm in tears though right now. I guess I'm just in disbelief that somebody in my own family would call me that. Which for the record isn't true [i admit I do drink, but I don't skank around, and I plan on going to real estate school when I've got my finances figured out]. I'm also at a loss of what to do about my family...my brother and I were never that close, he's 7 years older. I honestly think this argument was the longest we've ever spoken to each other at one time. So now I'm hurt that he has the wrong impression of me. I'm also scared I won't be able to see my nephew and neice, and they have twins on the way, too. I don't know what the others in my family think about me right now...I don't know if my brother went off on them, too. Part of me just wants to cut myself off from the family...and I would do it if my sister wasn't getting married soon, that would just mess things up for her. I was always the black sheep in our family anyway. I'm constantly on the verge of tears now, and I'm afraid if it continues, it will affect my relationship with my boyfriend because that's all I've got on my mind. He willingly listens and makes me laugh and feel better for the time being, but I'm afraid to mention it too much. I don't know if I'm looking for words of encouragement, or some sort of input, anything would be greatly appreciated. I apologize again for the length.
