Well I am 25.. and there were a few people having sex at that age.. but there were also a few people getting pregnant. And I am not judging because it's not my place, but a lot of those people I even recognized then as having troubled lives in one form or another.
I am a housewife, and we also live in Loudoun County. For quite a while we only had one car, and my husband has a crazy schedule, so I am able to relate to your husband. It's hard to be housebound for long periods of time. Unless you live within walking distance to a park or anywhere he might want to go, it can be very isolating. Do you guys have any kids? That could add to his stresses also..

Of course, OP has IBS not UC, but they can feel the same at times. I highly recommend the folks at GW University's Medical Faculty Associates and also Digestive Disease Consultants in Rockville. I've been to both and sent my mother in for her IBS as well. Lots of positive suggestions and ideas.
MIL has both of those things, so either her or I probably got them mixed up or something when she was telling me... My mistake.. And to the PP who said she was excusing her smoking.. no. She actually doesn't smoke. She asked for relief or doctors, this is the only thing that I'd heard. If the PP who said something about her excusing smoking by saying it helps thinks I'm trying to convince someone to pick up a pack a day habit, you're wrong. But again, sorry about the mixup.

OR they are happy they didn't have to buy another girl present and didn't have to cart their kid to another stupid birthday party on that Saturday. Somehow I doubt the moms' hearts are broken. My daughter has been excluded from birthday parties before in the neighborhood and she realizes its not that big a deal - its not like she can't play with them another day.
OP - grow up and put on your big girl panties. High school is over.
OK. Well, here's the sort I'm dealing with. Oh well, your attitude is really a bummer.
I see nothing wrong with the way this PP does things... She had a girly party.. invites all of the girls... I HIGHLY doubt that all of the boys in her class are really all that broken hearted that they weren't invited to a pink princessy party..
Seriously? Why is everyone still trying to find out who this is? Out of respect for OP can't we all just accept her problem and the fact that she doesn't want to share more than she already has??? I think this is rude and insensitive.
This post is extremely depressing to me. If a lot of you took the time to talk to your spouses, some of these problems might be fixed. But, it makes me appreciate my husband, and the relationship that we have very very much. We are nowhere near perfect, but we communicate, and at least know what our problems with each other are.
If I found out she has a history, that would have been more inspiration to get police involved. She has children and anger issues, and that's not typically a good combination.
It surprises me greatly to see such a nonchalant response from some of the PARENTS on here!!!!!!!! How protected are your children going to be if you're defending actions of predators in the news. Stories like this should be viewed as an eye opener, and not a "well it's not that bad" attitude. Praying that your children just never come across people like this.

Yeah right...I got married because of his money (ROFLMAO)...specially when I was making even more money than him (well...he was making 400/week by then).
I didn't mind about ring, honey moon, wedding ceremony since we were and ARE very tight with our financial like. He went to his friend's house for the draft and had a blast I guess, since he came back home only 7am on Sunday.
Just to give an idea, when he brought the LA bullshit up, we were without health insurance because my employer doesn't provide for me so I was always dependent on his insurance.
And now...you guys come here to tell me that I am the worse wife in this world because I think the TRAVELLING for the draft is not right. Honestly...the draft is a bullshit for me but if he likes it...well whatever! I don't care! I just think that it is not responsible to spend so much money travelling to LA while the bills are on the table...waiting to be paid!
anyways...this topic is old! I asked him not to go and he said I was right! So...at the end I WON!!!
kisses for you all, specially for those in a dream marriage, full of money to spend with friends, travelling all over the world.
Why do I get the feeling that this whole argument was about that more than anything really.. Winning.. well congratulations to you.
And we didn't come here to tell you anything! You asked. If you don't want to see what people thing how they feel etc.. you shouldn't have asked.
But congrats on your great victory. You're well on your way to having a whipped husband. WTG
I wish you the best of luck. I feel for you. If they offered it for free I don't think I'd drive a Toyota right now. I have heard many cases on the news about people reporting exactly what you said happened, only accidents were caused, and "cannot duplicate what happened" was always Toyota's claim when it came to determining if it was a faulty brake issue. I'd definitely stay right on top of it. If possible, you might want to see if another trustworthy mechanic can look at it, and perhaps they will be able to "duplicate what happened" and than Toyota will have no leg to stand on.

My husband and I "lost it" to each other. Everything we learn or try, has been together, and yes. It's been wonderful. The physical and emotional aspects are both amazing.
as for the PP who was 12, I'm sorry to hear that this happened to you.
I agree with what the PP said about changing over time. It sounds like you expected him to change as a person and to change his priorities the second he put the ring on your finger. It also sounds like you expected that you were going to magically have this whole different life once you got married and it simply doesn't work that way. You failed to mention what you had in the bank when you got married, what money you had to contribute to the wedding, and life afterwards.. In fact, you haven't mentioned your financial contribution in this post at all I don't believe. I personally don't see any problem in him wanting to celebrate the fact that he has a job now. It's definitely worth celebrating, and like I said numerous times before, I can't believe that you expected him to cancel something he's done for years before you were married. I hope he was allowed to enjoy the draft at least from home. And that yo uease up on him a little bit. You haven't been married nearly long enough to be the nagging PITA wife yet.
First of all, you're using two different people as your one example, I said someone was using an extreme example, however I am not the one who asked why it's not okay to smother a child.
Second of all, that's why I don't understand why people start posts like this in forums like these.. No one is going to change the others mind so it's pretty useless in trying.
And Third, it is extremely offensive to imply that someone with different opinions, viewpoints and morals than you have is less intellegent than you are for that fact. That we're not rational because we feel that life begins at conception?? Using insults to try to prove your point isn't doing you any favors.

He also would try to put socks on his head and say it was his hair, carried purses, loved to dance to Madonna, etc. He's a teenager now and he's gay.
My 3 year old daughter likes to clomp around the house in her dad's shoes, put on his tie if he leaves it knotted, and drink her milk such that she gets a mustache "like daddy". She is very proud of the mustache, and requests that we take her picture. Oh, and her train set is her very favorite toy.
Guess I should just break out the flannel now, huh, PP? Maybe move to Vermont so that she has the option of a hometown wedding?
I was about to say the same thing.. My daughter is ALWAYS trying to wear daddy's work boots, shoes slippers etc.. and mine too.. she tries to put his watch on.. She just loves her daddy and wants to be just like him.
I never did until just a month or so ago, and she's almost 2, but I drive her pretty much everywhere so I'm not the best example.
