    I already asked this question in mental health section, but i didn't get the respond I need so i posted here in this section 'cause I so in need for a good answer... Few days ago my sweet boyfriend (he's the first man in my life) that I love and trust blindly hurt me when we were talking about his book that going to be published soon and he admitted that used his writing talent from the start to make me love him only because I’ve never been touched by any man before and never been in love so he wanted to be the first and he said it exactly like this: " I wanted to make love to you because I knew if I would be the first man inside you that there would never be another man to ever get your love" I haven't showed him and sign of pain or anger or anything, I pretended everything is good and I’m ok with what he said but I spent two days crying and feeling so much pain and lonely thinking about the big fake fairy tale I was living. And then things wont worst yesterday when some guy I used to like very much called me after long time never heard from him, I thought everything going to be great with his call and he can make me feel better after my big disappointed with my bf. But the shock was that he didn’t even recognize me and said he only called because he found my number in his cell phone so he called to know whose number is this. I felt it right in my stomach like a stab that deep pain but I swallowed my tears and said like it doesn't matter who am I then hanged up the phone. I felt like crying but couldn’t drop a tear maybe one hour later I dropped some tears then nothing just went to the kitchen and have a late dinner which I don’t usually then went to bed… And when I woke up this morning I started to have this weird feelings or better say I have no feelings at all... I felt like nothing happened at all in the past few days I am not happy or even sad nothing at all. My mother yelled at me and insulted me because of something I told and didn't feel bad for it and didn't even got bothered with her words. And I watched this poor sick child with cancer on the TV and it was normal to me I didn’t felt pain for him. I tried to do my exercise but I couldn’t and thought like: what for? I tried to listen to some music but couldn’t feel the rhythm, I tried to pray but I couldn’t reach to the spiritual level in the prays and also tried to write about my failure relationship and some poetries but felt like there’s nothing to write about. I truly don’t know what’s wrong with me! Even when I am writing these words I don't feel like real worry I don’t' know how to describe it exactly but I only wonder why am I like this and how did I reach this level. So please would any body tell me what’s really going with me? Anything would help really. Most appreciated

    Today i missed my flight and had to spend $150 for a ticket tmrw. It was absolutely my bf's fault I missed it. He knows it. Earlier today I splurged on sexy lingerie and outfits to wear for him. I have to return it bc now I can't afford it(since I had to spend $150+ on the ticket). Should I take a pic of it on--not showing my face--and send it to him saying "u caused urself to miss out on this..." I'm really upset I'm out like $170 bucks(now can't pay my electric bill) bc my bf wanted to have sex before taking me to the airport. Once I saw the time I was anxious and not enjoying it but he had to be selfish & come....ugh I'm sooooooooo mad at him n feel like he should pay me the $150 how can I get back at him?
  • Fiance/Future Mother In Law help. Advice needed. 10 points!!?

    1. My FH proposed to me on December 30, 2008 after dating for a year, and knowing each other for 2. We don't live together, however, we either stay at my house or his house every night. He's my best friend and my biggest supporter, but there is a few things that REALLY bother me. 2. His mother had him very young, at 18. She married his dad at 18 as well, and they have been happily married for 22 years now. His mom had taken me in and made me feel like part of the family. We went shopping, have gone to get our nails done, text messaged me daily etc, I figured all was well, and she treated me so sweetly, even telling people how much she loved me.It made me feel wonderful!! 3. Flash forward to December 30th, after the proposal that she knew was going to happen (he told her 2 months prior that he was going to do it). We set a date for May 22, 2010, start looking at venues and my family invites everyone to our engagement party. 4.I invite his mom to go to a local bridal show with me and she gives me an excuse as to why she can't go. That's fine, I understand, things happen, no biggie. One night when I was in night class in February, my FH text me and told me that we needed to talk.So we talk. What about? His mother tells him that he's not getting married with a year of school left. (He's 22, I'm 20. For the May 22nd wedding, he would be 23).and insists that we don't want to be broke and such. After pouting for a little bit about having to push the wedding back, I agreed that it would be better to wait until one of us gets out of school. 5. In October this year, I go to his family reunion, and am bombarded by questions, like "when did you get engaged? When is the date set for?" His mother chimes in and says, "OH, it will be a VERY LONG engagement because I'm not going to let my son throw away his college years and get married so young like I did, and your kids did," WOW, talk about a slap in the face from someone that acted like my best friend. I saw on facebook that my FH had accepted his mom's boss' friend request (they pay for his school). and she commented, "Engaged? Your mom never told me this!! When did this happen?" Also, his mom has been talking to his ex on facebook. I know this is an informal was of communication, but supposedly his mom "hated this girl with a passion because of the way she treated his son by cheating on him and being disrespectful to the entire family." So why would she be talking to this girl? I try not to let it bother me, but that also feels like a slap in the face. I feel like she is ashamed that her son is engaged to me. 6. Months pass without setting a new date. His graduation will be May 2011, and mine will be December 2011, so I suggest a late May date, exactly a year past what it originally was. He says "we will discuss it towards the end of the year." Guess what? It's the end of the year. I'm tired of waiting. I would love to know when I can expect to walk down the aisle. He says he can't wait to marry me, but I know his mother's opinion is harboring him.He's 23 today for crying out loud. He's a grown man, and we make decent money, and will both have college degrees within the next year/year in a half around the time a potential date could be set. It just hurts to spend so much time with someone you love so much, and put so much in, but he won't give an exact date on what's good for him. It also makes me feel so low on the actions his mother has shown towards me in the past several months, as I have shown her nothing but kindness and respect. I KNOW she controls him, they talk 15 times a day on the phone, and she can't seem to cut the cord. I tell him that this whole ordeal about the things she has done to humiliate me, and he says, don't worry, she likes you and accepts you. But guess what, I don't feel that reciprocated. I feel like I will always be last pick to his mother. Even though he assures me that he loves me and can't wait to spend the rest of his life with me, I feel like the cord will never be cut, and that I will end up marrying his mom as well. I know she doesn't want him to make the same mistakes that she did, but I'm not 18, neither is he, we almost have our degrees, have decent financial stability, and I'm NOT getting married because I'm pregnant. We're totally opposites, so why does she think that marrying me would make him "throw away his life?" She told me I was the best for him before our engagement...wtf...

    I'm depressed, I've been cutting, I hate my self, and I want to die well more of kill myself. I was in one-on-one therapy for a week but I cut myself again and had to go to the ER and they sent me to the Insitute of Living for the night and was there all last Tuesday and had one-on-one therapy on Wednesday. They set me up with group therapy. Yesturday, I had to go in the morning for like don't know how to put this into words but like introduction pretty much. I then had a horrible day at school included with crying a lot a lunch because I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to quit swim team and band (I'm a section leader in band and I worked hard for my position) and my best friend Alex comes over to sit and he says, 'Am I the only one not depressed here' I looked up and told him to shut up and he comes over to my side of the table and hugs me and talks to me about it, trying to make me feel better. So then on the bus, I get a text from my ex friend saying 'I Heard wat happened and i just wanted 2 say im srry' and I asked her who told her and she said Alex and when I asked Alex why he told her he said 'I told nikki cuz im scared for u... I dont want u to get even more messed up... And im bad at talking ppl out of stuff... Nikkis good at it... Terrance says hi.' And it just really freaked me out because a bunch of people are worried about me and I'm used to that but he's my best friend and he's SCARED for me. And this morning going to encore I passed him in the hallway and he asked if I was okay and I turned and shook my head no and he came up and hugged me and I just don't know what to do he's just so close to me that it hurts. And last week we had a friend in the Insitute of Living because she was planning suicide, so I'm pretty sure he also doesn't want me to end up at that point. But, he doesn't know that I know how I would kill my self I only talked about that this morning with Justin. And I haven't told Alex how hard it is just to get through the days now, and I just find everything so pointless, and that I'm just sick of being around. He does know that I wanted to switch schools. And I'm just so scared in myself because I've gotten to the point that he's scared for me. And I just don't know what to do.

    I dated her for 8 months and I broke the relationship up several months ago. She was fine with it and never came after me and didn't make a big deal at all at work. (We work in the same company, but in diff building, so we dont work together). I tried to be friends and would show up to say hi every so often. I'd ask her for lunch, but she declined. She never really reciprocated and once I asked for lunch again...she finally said no and asked for me to stop. She told me she had found emails that I had sent to my ex during the relationsh (true) and had no interest in pursuing any kind of relationship with me. She threatened to go to the human resources department if I insisted. I think i made the situation worse by trying to be nice. Am I missing something?

Gay weddings begin in US state as new law allowing same-sex marriages takes effect

By John Curran, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Gay weddings begin in US state as new law allowing same-sex marriages takes effect

DUXBURY, Vermont - After 17 years together, Bill Slimback and Bob Sullivan couldn't wait another minute to get married. So they didn't.

With Vermont's new law allowing same-sex marriage only a minute old, they tied the knot in a midnight ceremony at a rustic lodge, becoming one of the first couples to legally wed under a law that took effect at midnight Monday.

Vermont is one of five states that now allow same-sex couples to marry. Massachusetts, Connecticut and Iowa are the others. New Hampshire's law takes effect Jan. 1, 2010.

Dressed in suits, saying their vows under a large wall-mounted moose head, the two Whitehall, New York, men promised their love, exchanged rings and held hands during a modest 17-minute ceremony. Moose Meadow Lodge co-owner Greg Trulson, who's also a Justice of the Peace, presided.

"It feels wonderful," said Slimback, 38, an out-of-work Teamster who is taking Sullivan's last name as his own. "It's a day I've been long waiting for, and a day I truly honestly thought would never come."

Slimback said he and Sullivan, 41, have long wanted to cement their relationship with a wedding, but since they couldn't legally marry in New York they chose to wed even before Vermont's gay marriage era officially dawned.

Vermont, which invented civil unions in 2000 after a same-sex couple challenged the inequality of state marriage statutes, was a mecca for gay couples who to that point had no way to officially recognize their relationships.

Since then, other states have allowed gay marriage, as did Vermont, which in April became the first state to legalize gay marriage through a legislative decree and not a court case.

Some couples - including many who obtained civil unions in Vermont - plan to return to the state to get married. But most are in no rush. City and town officials say only a handful of licenses had been issued to same-sex couples in anticipation of Tuesday's start.

"We've waited a long time to do this - basically, our whole lives," Slimback said Monday. "We've been waiting for a chance to actually solidify it," he said. He and Sullivan said they never wanted to obtain a civil union because they believe that's a kind of second-class recognition.

Westboro Baptist Church, an anti-gay group that claims U.S. combat deaths are God's punishment for America's tolerance of homosexuality, planned to picket Tuesday in Montpelier, Vermont's capital.

    Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Unbelievable, that two men would do something like that. Searching for love in all kinds of wrong ways, when all they need is Mat 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

    I encourage you to read Romans Ch 1 In the Bible how it talks about God has given up on such people who do such things, Roamans 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; God can forgive if they repent from this sin. In case people are ignorant of this, the Bible says it is sin.
