    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.?

    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.
  • Guys... should I tell him or not?

    So... my wonderful boyfriend proposed to me - and I most definitely said yes! The thing is - I don't really like my engagement ring. I didn't tell him - I was just glad to be engaged and figured I would just grow to love the ring - but it's 2 months later and I still don't! Guys I want your perspective cause I really don't want him to be hurt or to think I don't appreciate all the effort he went to in picking it - should I tell him I don't like it or not?!? Should prob mention - We'd both always wanted him to pick the ring for me - so I just asked him to follow 1 rule - "no white gold please"... it's white gold! (he said he forgot! hehe) Plus he gave it to me after the warranty ran out! Oh dear - what to do!?!? Oh - and I do love him and am greatful to be marrying him - that's why I don't want to hurt him! How much I like my engagement ring has nothing to do with how much I love my fiance. I just don't know if I should pretend to like this forever when I really don't!

Forget all those glitzy, high-tech toys. The hottest new trend in the world of play involves getting back to nature with your kid.

By Ann Douglas

Forget all those glitzy, high-tech toys. The hottest new trend in the world of play involves getting back to nature with your kid.

And playing in natural spaces isn't just fun and games. It's also good for the planet. Environmental psychologist Nancy Wells of the College of Human Ecology at New York's Cornell University put nature play under the microscope and discovered that free play activities such camping, hiking, or playing in the woods can lead to a life-long love of nature and a heightened awareness of environmental issues.

Being exposed to nature has also been demonstrated to offer other unexpected benefits to kids. It can help to relieve stress, to boost attention span, and to provide greater opportunities for making friends. (One study showed that children who have suitable places to play outdoors have twice as many friends as those who don't.)

The challenge, of course, is finding a way to balance your own fears of the unknown against the benefits to your child of allowing him to enjoy a taste of that childhood wanderlust you took for granted during your own growing up years.
