    Additional Details

    My boyfriend and I are both 21, and have been dating for 3 years. Recently, he has smelling really badly whenever I am around him. I ask him if he showers, brushes his teeth, etc..because I cannot for the life of me understand what is making him smell so bad. Recently, I was at his house, and I saw that he throws his laundry all over the place, doesn't wash his bed sheets, his house smelled musky and moldy, like he had mold. He told me" I shower twice a day, and wash my hair one of those times each day". Well, the smell isn't his hair, trust me. And sometimes he has even told me he forgets to brush his teeth for a couple of days! He is 21, he should not be acting like a 5 year old! And plus, he is over weight, and that being said, sweats more and seems to stink more. I ask him politely to put on more deodarant or shower again, and he says " I already put it on once today, and that's it im going to put it on". I don't know what to do with him. I love him, but it's never been as bad as this. I don't want to have a boyfriend that I have to go over and clean and wash his clothes, his bedsheets, remind him to wash right, or brush his teeth! I have tried sitting down talking to him, but he seems to just not care!! Should I just take this as a bad sign and just leave him??
  • How can I convince my fiance to do a test drive?

    I'm a Christian and I believe in sex and cohabitation before marriage. My fiance wants to wait till marriage to have sex, but I want to test drive before we get married. He must understand that times have changed and most women would never marry a virgin. If he won't change, I'll find another man who has a higher sex drive.

  • Why does my wife act like she loves me more when I'm a jerk?

    Marriage & Divorce - 6 hours ago

    Additional Details

    I used to be caring, loving and romantic, and my wife treated me like crap. Now I'm cold, arrogant and distant and she tries to be all lovey dovey to me. She even mentioned missing the old me and I told her, "But its clear to me that you prefer the way I am now, because if you really liked how I was you would of been nicer to me back then." So what's up with this? I was a nice guy and she cheated on me and now I'm a jerk and she loves me more, but wants me to be a nice guy again? Can someone explain this to me?

    Additional Details

    A guy in my college course would stare at me a lot. I started talking to him little bit by bit (im pretty shy tho, so can't do anything too obivous). He responded nicely, then all of a sudden he seemed to ignore me one day. Next day he keeps looking at me again, esp. when I laugh, which I do a lot in class haha. Anyway, how do I get to know him better. He's a Christian Conservative and so am I, which is hard to find on my campus.

The Truth About Sleeping through the Night

All the other moms in my moms’ group seem to have babies who have been sleeping through the night since they were about two months old. I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong.

By Ann Douglas

Here’s a simple sleep fact that may help you to rest easy. When sleep experts apply the term “sleeping through the night” to young babies, they are talking about any five-hour-long stretch of sleep that occurs at night. So if your baby hits the hay at 9:00 pm, sleeps until 2:00 am, feeds, and then goes back to bed for another couple of hours, he’d be considered an all-star sleeper. (Well, at least for a young baby.)

Last year, the U.S.-based National Sleep Foundation did an exhaustive study of children’s sleep habits. They discovered that 20% to 30% of babies were still getting up in the night at age nine months. So chances are there’s at least one other mom in your group who’s up in the night with her baby.

Here’s something else to mull over in the wee hours of the morning: some babies who slept through the night when they were younger start waking in the night during the second six months of life. (Anything from ear infections to separation anxiety to developmental breakthroughs can throw their sleep schedules out of whack.)

The moral of the story? Never get too smug when it comes to your baby’s sleep!
