What Does Your Woman REALLY Want

Open Question: Feeling weary and what I am I to do?

I haven't asked questions on here for a while but I think it's time to ask again. The relationship between my mother and wife is well and truly sour. They never want to see each other again. Of course I'm unhappy with what has happened but I'm standing on my wife's side after all the nasty comments by my mother directed at the both of us. So the future stands that I won't be contacting my mother again and I'm not sure about what will happen once kids come into the picture - after all, they deserve the right to see their grandparents. At this time, my wife is so steadfastly against me contacting my mother that she has threatened to leave me (not the first time she has thrown around bloody threats of divorce - and we've only been married 2 months) if she finds out. But I have no desire to contact with my mother after she kept on sending me messages and emails talking about how their must be something wrong with my mind etc. For me, the biggest problem is not cutting off my mother for a long time, it's the threats of divorce from my wife every time she gets angry. After she says that crap it takes some time for me to cool down. I just feel like abandoning saving for the house and just think of quickly finding another place to rent away from her. I'm also disappointed that she fails to mention big things like when she has a business idea. I came home from work the other day and couldn't contact her for a while and found the bedroom looked like a mess and it appeared she'd gone out quite quickly. I was a bit annoyed but after some time she came back with lots of groceries, snacks and drinks so I didn't really mind. What bothered me is that a few days later, I discovered by accident that she has been trying to setup some kind of trade deal with clothes between China and Australia. This is an issue once again about communication - it's the number one thing that upsets me. I'm really happy that she took my suggestion of doing the clothing trade business seriously - she has come excellent ideas and a potential niche market that could gain popularity very quickly as her friend is involved in the industry over there and they are talking about the upcoming fashion trends and putting my wife on the 'in list' to get hold of the products and ship them out before they hit the major supermarket shelves. With my direction, I am quite sure she could get her head around the way to trade here in Australia - I'm very much interested in the entrepreneurial side of things. It's just that damned communication that is driving me up the wall. I hate her talking to these sleazy Chinese guys online - they are millions of miles away but I feel uncomfortable with them talking things like how much they miss her etc (I am trying to fill the gap by telling her how good she is rather than having them say that to her). I hate how she leaves out crucial information like what she is considering for the future. Finally, I hate the negative communication of her saying that "she loves me, but loves herself more and won't tolerate losing face to my parents - that she will leave me before it comes to that". The point blank - I will leave you - cold statements give me no confidence and kill all the feelings and love I have. How does someone say that to their partner?? How can I get her to change??

Resolved Question: Am I doing the right thing? should I go through with the Divorce or not?

about a year ago I asked a question here: if I should get a divorce because my husband an I have been getting in each others hair a lot. He tends to get very hurtful when arguing, saying mean things. I started to loose my love and respect for him and slowly drifted away from him emotionally. I had made my peace with it and wasn't going to waste any more time trying to talk to him, making him see how much he hurts me, I got sick of trying to put my foot down because nothing ever changed. My self esteem was sub-zero, I felt fat, stupid, unloved and depressed… At some point I told myself that this could not go on like this, so I got more involved in my hobbies and new friends, started to do a lot more stuff alone in my free time and realized that I really do not need him to be happy. My self esteem wend from sub-zero to normal/high. I lost a bunch of weight (like 28 pounds - 2 dress sizes) and so I am back to my "sexy" weight, found new interest in fashion and even started to take classes in style consulting (as a possible new career) my confidence level has risen even more in the last couple of months, now I can honestly say, I am not afraid to be alone, I know I can make it on my own, to finally take the definitive decision to leave my husband and just enjoy my life. This feeling of "liberation" has been building up the last months and I finally told my husband I wanted a Divorce…. many conversations followed this, a lot of apologies from my husband and promises to change whatever it is he needs to change to keep me by his side… granted, he has made some considerable positive changes in the past 2 months and I can see how important this is to him. He even finally understands that we cannot possibly keep working together. He is being extra attentive, taking me out to dinner, movies, drinks, we are having sex again…. he suggested to go to couples counseling to which I agreed to and am currently looking for a shrink. This is all great and I appreciate his effort. BUT: I just don't feel anything for him anymore but friendship, I feel dishonest when he hugs me, I don't get a warm fuzzy feeling anymore when he kisses me.. I have told him all of this, I am really being almost brutally honest with him, yet he keeps in there... Can anyone tell me if this indifference i am feeling is just fear of letting him get close to me again? Am I still hanging around out of pity? Is he hanging on out of fear? Should I even try to save this marriage? Do I even want to? What would you do? please guys, really read my question before giving me the standard issue "'til death do us part, suck it up" this is serious $hit 1- I have tried for a year to make it work 2- We ARE having sex, but nothing is changing for me, emotionally 3- I had a life before marriage so I already WAS making it on my own before, it's not like I was found in a wolfs den and was a virgin maiden or anything, my goodness 4- I DID get married with the intentions of it being forever, if not why bother.. 5- I am an Agnostic so please spare me the Bible quotes, thank you

Open Question: Help please!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

Voting Question: Thinking about going into acting and fashion?

Hi! I'm a 15 year old freshmen girl. I just got home from my first big role play. I was in 3 middle school plays (they only did one play a year there) and got small roles in each of them. I joined my high school drama club which has some amazing talent. I hear that many who are a part of this club go into drama. They did 7 mini plays and i got pretty big roles in 2. People said i was the most memorable character in one of them and i got tons and tons of compliments. Fashion is just an obssesion of mine. I dont do any extra curiculums in it, but it is something i enjoy and often get tons of compliments on. Both of these things not only interest me, but give me confidence. I wanna go into these feilds when I'm older. Maybe not big hit Angelina Jolie actress or Vera Wang fashion designer. But id like to do at least something. Any suggestions for what i could do?

Resolved Question: To those who post pictures of themselves...?(No offense intended)?

I've just been wondering recently(Because I'm seeing alot of it)--and I guess I'm asking those who do it. Why do people love to continuously post pictures of themselves--then ask people to rate/comment/tell them how they look? Is fashion really that centralized in the world now? I see like 10 year olds posting forum on how good they look with makeup on and things--I just find that ridiculous. I get that people like to be complimented, maybe they just want to get the general opinion of others and raise their self-confidence or they have alot of self-confidence to begin with and show off how good they look? Sorry if I'm offending half the Facebook go-ers/people in the world. Also, is there some sort of psychology mixed in with this? Again, this isn't to offend anyone, I just want a honest (or educational)answer...

Resolved Question: Can I get sued for quitting an under-the-table job?

I applied for a 'fashion design seamstress' job, thinking it would be along the lines of sewing and altering gowns when she asked me to create gowns from a sketch. She planned to open a boutique in her basement, and hired me to do jobs for cash, which I come to understand as an under-the-table job. We went fabric shopping and she spent 180 dollars on fabric for two of her East-indian gowns, and i took the fabric home. She gave me two days to do a difficult dress and 4 for an even more difficult one. So today I called her and told her that I didn't feel as though my pattern making skills were up to her high standards of time and quality, after looking over the sketches more indepth. So now she is telling me that in confidence she bought all that fabric in confidence of me doing the job, and now this is a large loss for her. I told her it is very do able for the dresses but i dont feel as I have the adequate skills and I fear a small claims lawsuit will be upon me for the price of the fabric. Can I legally get sued for this?

Voting Question: Songs about self confidence?

I've just had a LOT of self esteem issues lately and i just feel totally depressed! i just don't feel like waking up in the morning anymore. MY friends aren't that friendly and my crush just started dating my friend. i also just feel like a big fat ugly loser with no sense of fashion. I just don't belong in this world anymore. Songs usually make me feel better about myself so i was wondering if you knew any songs related to this?
