When I was 22 my mom died, I was heat broken until I met my fiance. He warmed my soul and loved me unconditionally. He was a good Christian man, who helped me make it through hard days. Then he died 3/11/9 at age 27 we only had 4 years together. We went to church, prayed lived our lives for Jesus. This is killing me everyday gets harder it is MORE THAN I CAN BEAR. Why does God hate me? What have I done?

Do any of you use hormones as an excuse to treat people poorly while pregnant. My sister in law has been using this excuse to be an all out witch (actually the word the rhymes with it) to the point I refuse to be around her. When this was brought up in family discussion they completely took her side saying I don't know what it's like blah blah blah. I have been around many pregnant women and I know there are hormonal changes but my friend who have kids say you can deal with them and they are not a reason to take it out on others. Now I am being made the bad person because I am not empathetic to her pregnancy. Is anyone else experiencing this? I have to face her in two days and could use some good quips and comeback lines.

Getting ready to go see family in the Northwest we were trying to get snowboarding gear together and found that my BF's favorite board a Never Summer that cost around $600 was in the possession of his bro in-law. He was excited not only is it a great board he would be able to hit up the little ski areas in the river bluffs. As I predicted his sister threw a fit because she is too cheap to buy anything nice and is a total charity case. My boyfriend kept most his gear when he left his home town much of the things he left behind were pilfered and pawned he was excited to have something of such financial and emotional value in his reach. Now the story has changed from borrowed to given when my bf does not even remember having the board his first trip home he thought it was pawned. we would like to take up snowboarding here but the cost is so high. No I am not backing down, I already know we are the black sheeps and feel no reason to submit to them. How would you handle this?

My boyfriend and I have been left out of my famlies plans for Thanksgiving. I found that my deceased mother's parents are having a dinner but failed to let us know :(. I feel strongly that if they are not going to extend an invitation I will not go. This is a value that this particular side of the family instilled in me so I will not grovel or beg to come. My real questions is how can we make our Thanksgiving special? It will be the 2 of us.I am thinking or doing reservations some of the restaurant's that will be serving the meal. Any other ideas?

I have a wonderful AmStaff.Shes large for her breed 100lbs(we are working on a healthier weight but I do love to spoil her so)and can look intimidating.I know how important it is to keep her socialized and try to get her regular exposure.After her monthly grooming at Petco we normally walk around to find and greet friends.Some people are open to meeting her most are not. For example this evening a small 12lb terrier tried to bite her.My dogs reaction - immediate submission no agressive reaction at all, yet the owners still looked at me as if we were in the wrong. All I could think to say is I said she was a softie. Before approaching I always make sure she is calm and that the other pet parents know she is 100% friendly.I want to keep her great dispostion and nonagressivness but I know I can only do that by soocialization.She often visits my brothers farm to run with his 5 hounds, yet I do not know if this is enough as they are not pets. We have some play dates set with friends dogs

I have an '05 Infiniti FX35. It does not currently have satellite radio but has the satellite button on the dash with all the radio buttons. Does anyone know what would be needed to add XM or Sirius. Also which is better XM or Sirius? I really do not want any additional things mounted on my dash. Is this just an issue of having it activated?

My boyfriends family is traditional where mine isn't.My father is widowed w/6 children.He has never done a thing for one kid that he can't do for the other 5.I never wanted a wedding for many reasons a wedding does not equal a marriage no matter what the cost is you are still married just the same I dislike being the center of attention and having my picture taken my mother is deceased I have no one for help and few friends.But at my bfs and his families urging I relented. Thinking I would get the same help as his sister did $4000 I began working on something simple and meaningful.I then found out that my boyfriends family is not planning on helping & my dad just can't afford it.This was heartbreaking I had planned to use his grandpas beach & had found caterers & rentals all within my budget. Although I didn't want it I became excited about & was heartbroke when I found it was not to be.How do I let them know there will be no talk of a wedding and our courthouse nuptuals are private.

My boyfriends family is all about documenting every moment. I have very low self esteem and hate having my picture taken. In the past I have tried to be a sport but I can no longer mentally handle it. I am not photogenic and when I see myself on film or camera I get very depressed and upset because no matter how hard I try I am just butt ugly. How can I let them know I prefer not to be photographed? They are very annoying and persistent and have not acknowledged my feelings on the matter.
