    Additional Details

    I was on my b/f's name on the computer helping him with a website while i opened up another tab, and it had pictures of most visited websites, 3 in which were porn. I questioned him and he said it wasn't him, but later he said it was him after he lied. He claimed that he only went on it three times, and he doesn't even "watch it like that", but that it reminded him of us. I was mad he lied, that he even needed to watch that to remember "us", and because im self-concious about my body, so him watching the girls have sex with big boobs makes me feel bad about myself. Am i wrong to be mad at him, and possibly break up with him because of this??

  • Were not dating and he sent me a text that said I miss you?

    Singles & Dating - 5 hours ago

    Additional Details

    He asked did I miss him too.. I told him the truth, which was no I did not. So why is he so mad? I mean I like talking to him and everything, and it's not that I meant it too be rude but I talk to him everyday so what's there to miss? I know this sounds really harsh, but I can't help the fact that I'm really blunt. My honesty is often misconstrued as being mean. Similar incidents have often happened with this person before so how am I supposed to talk to him? It's like he wants me to tell him what he wants to here (lies). If that's the case sorry. Not having it.
  • Why won't my bf ask me to marry him??? Part 2.?

    Singles & Dating - 5 hours ago

    Additional Details

    We have been together for 4 yrs. In the 1st 6mth's he wanted too(didn't actually have a ring just talked about it a lot) and I didn't cause it was to fast. We have a wonderful relationship. He has taken my son in as his own. We have lived together for 3.5 years. We do almost everything together. When he goes away on trips, like hunting/camping and I ask him questions about it, he automatically resorts to "I don't trust him" and says that is why we are at a stand still. The thing is that I do trust him, I am slightly insecure and a little nosy so I ask questions about their plans, etc. isn't that normal of someone who cares? I think it's an excuse, I don't believe he thinks that. I don't know what to do...I feel used and I am starting to think that he is waiting for someone better. He's really good to me and my son, I hope that's not the case. I am tired of the embarrassment when asked "why hasn't he married you yet?"...now I am asking myself that question. The whole "why buy the cow when the milk is free" is haunting me. I am to afraid to change anything because he is stubborn (so am I) and I am afraid he will just let me go because he will think that I don't want him, it seems too risky. I love the idea of getting away for the weekend, but I already did that, he always misses me alot (calls, texts, etc) right now he is away hunting and he calls and texts me. I usually text him but I really haven't this time cause I don't want to be viewed as none trusting. I'm hurt and I don't know how to get what I want...and if I don't get that I don't think my relationship will stay together since the feeling of insecurity grows inside of me with time :( I don't want to mess this up but I don't want to be just a gf either.

Five ways to support Canada's children

Learn the facts about child rights and how to protect our country's youth

By Marlene Rego

Get involved with five great causes to support Canada's vulnerable children and families:

1. Last year, Kids Help Phone helped Canadian kids more than 2.2 million times on the phone and online. Support over 10,000 volunteers by making a donation or become a youth volunteer with your local chapter.

2. A recent report on cyber bullying found that almost one in five Canadian students have been bullied online in the past three months. To protect your children, plan a family online agreement with schedules and rules for web surfing - for an example of a plan visit media-awareness.ca. Media Awareness Network is a Canadian non-profit specializing in media literacy.

3.Safe Kids Canada is a national organization raising awareness and reducing the incidence of preventable childhood injuries - the leading cause of death and disability for Canadian youth. Take the home product safety quiz online to keep your kids out of harm's way. Or advocate to prevent childhood injuries.

4. The Canadian Centre for Child Protection is a non-profit dedicated to the safety of children. Children account for 61% of all victims of sexual assault reported to the police and 21% of all victims of physical assault. Download the parent guide to learn more about the signs of abuse and how to prevent it.

5. One in six Canadian children is poor and there are about 760,000 low-income mothers and children in Canada. Send a message to the prime minister through Make Poverty History. Goals include affordable housing and child care as well as increasing the child tax benefit to help low-income families.
