Hello, I am new to the forum and I am newly single after 14 years of marriage and dating the same man for six months. My boyfriend wanted me to clean up his phone and ipad, I asked him to bring it over for me to do this. He was at my home all weekend and had a nice time, while he was getting ready upstairs, he had an allergic reaction to my hay, I decided to get his phone cleaned up before he left. Upon opening his phone, I noticed a text, he told me he was going to a meeting in banking on Monday, his daughter wanted to meet him for lunch or dinner. He never mentioned this all weekend, I am noticing him keeping things separate. I decided to open his texts, I thought it was strange that he did not mention his lunch/dinner with his daughter. I found out he was telling his best friend this.. he friend wrote "Your better off than both of them. They need you but you don't need them. Spend money on someone who cares". My BF replies "Very well said. All they do is take.. Their takers!"

I then found out he lied, he told me he has a business consult to do in Cleveland that weekend, but he had plans to play in a high stake poker table. His ex wife knew about it, but he told me something else. He had plans to take his daughter with him, but made no mention of it to me.


I am not a taker, I am a really good person, it is obvious he wants to keep me at "bay" and he is speaking about me in a bad light. I helped him with his ipad and iphone but without yelling or him even knowing about it I took my house keys off his key ring. There is no point in yelling, if that is how he feels about me and if he is going to lie, I suppose I don't have a relationship with this man, if he thinks I am a taker plus keeps me out of the loop with his family and friends.

I am 43 and he is 45, I think he should realize that at some points in a relationship one person is more of a giver and the other a taker, but if you communicate and understand where and at what point you are at, most things can be worked out. I was so sad to read the texts, was I wrong for invading his privacy, yes, but something was nagging at me.

I am not sure how to handle this man if he wants to know why I want to end the relationship. ]]> Marriage, Dating sbr http://www.lifesupporters.com/forums/marriage-dating/finding-your-mate-in-a-lie-plus-other-information-14160.html Jean Stapleton Passed Away http://www.lifesupporters.com/forums/entertainment/jean-stapleton-passed-away-14158.html Sun, 02 Jun 2013 11:42:10 GMT Sad News, a great actress has died.:( Rest in...

As Edith Bunker, Jean Stapleton turned in one of the defining performances of a housewife on television. Her natural wit and sweetness played perfectly with Carroll O’Connor’s Archie Bunker, who was churlish and angry to the point of being foolish. Only Jean’s acting could make Archie’s nickname for Edith, “dingbat,” seem endearing. As her family announced that Jean had passed away from natural causes at the age of 90 on May 31, the iconic actress’ effect on the entertainment world only became clearer — celebrities almost immediately rushed to Twitter to get their thoughts out in remembrance of Jean.

never thought i'd ever need to write about friends here, but recently things have been odd between two of my most closest friends.

they are a couple, guy and gil and we met whilst at art college way back in 1999. since then, we've been good friends, always meeting up, going to the cinema, hanging out in central london going to comic book conventions etc. the guy, dave(not real name) calls me his brother and the girl, jane (not her real name) calls me her big brother.

they recently rented out a flat and invited me over a few times where we ate, watched movies, had fun. then last xmas i was there and gave them present and it was nice. january time i texted them saying shall we meet up as we usually met up every month or so. dave said no as he may need a back operation so i was like ok, man, i hope you get well. he also said he was short on cash. but then, for nearly 4 months no contact from either of them. jane usually would text or call me but nothing. dave then found out he didn't need an op and had only to undertake phsyio. i was happy and texted him. i also began noticing on facebook that they were going out, having fun (which is good!) going to the movies etc but still no contact. i then felt weird and very neglected. i only have a few friends, about 5 and thought we were close. i also began noticing that they were posting on facebook some of their art which in my own opinion don't think is strong. i stopped "liking" their work, but not all the time. not sure if this had any to do with it, doubt it. i then emailed dave and felt i needed to ask him if i had done anything to offend them that i was truly sorry. he told me that it was silly and all was fine. but no contact from jane. weird. also, neither of them texted me or anything when i was beginning my ta work, no words of good luck or anything similar when i was ill, which i felt was really odd.

jane still hasn't contacted me, and recently i saw on facebook that they are having fun etc. they always said we should go away, hang out more. i feel that i'm being neglected and dave even said that he had lost many friends due to his health which in all honestly, i feel is a cop out judging by his activity on facebook. i feel like they don't want to be close friends as before and my instinct tells me that they are perhaps jealous of my illustration work. sounds off but this is what i feel. they are good people, absent minded though especially when we are together. they never seem to pay full attention to me when we hang out, or i show them my new work. when they speak to me or show me their sketchbooks, i give them 1001% of my attention. it makes me sad to see them acting this way. it's now been six months since we have seen eachother and they seem to be ok with that.

my sister said they may just need space and i am ok with that, just feel really neglected as a true friend. and their words seem to be false when they call me their "brother" as it seems very empty and just a generic term.

i have decided to let them make the move of meeting up as i always initiate this. i always try to organise a outing to a comicbook convention or something and they never really do.

or am i being too sensitive? it feels odd :(

So I didn't even say anything but, Hello this is Will from the NYPD, and then she was like "I think you have the wrong number...?" then I said, " Oh, ok" It was kinda funny, but I feel bad now, considering I just prank called a 5th grader, I didn't mean any harm at all, I just got sucked into peer pressure, for the first time in ever :/ But, I don't think I should be too worried.

The mother of the Chinese newborn trapped in a sewer pipe in a stunning ordeal caught on video had raised the initial alarm and was present for the entire two-hour rescue but did not admit giving birth until confronted by police, reports said Wednesday.
The state-run, Hangzhou-based newspaper Dushikuaibao said police became suspicious when they found baby toys and blood-stained toilet paper in the 22-year-old woman's rented room, in the building where Saturday's rescue occurred in eastern China.
The woman, whose name was not revealed in state media reports, confessed to police when they asked her to undergo a medical checkup.
The woman told police she could not afford an abortion and secretly delivered the child Saturday afternoon in the toilet. She said she tried to catch the baby but he slipped into the sewer line and that she alerted her landlord of the trapped baby after she could not pull the child out, the state-run, Jinhua-based Zhezhong News said.

Hi guys,
I have been Trying to get in forums for a while now and I can't seem to get in until i found this site. My story is long and i hope you have the Patience to finish reading my story. My ex and i were together fo a year and a half, i know its not that long. But i became pregnant during our 7th month, we were shocked at first but we loved each other and were of age so nothing to worry about. My ex is a bit selfish but nothing i cant handle because im not that needy until im about 8 weeks pregnant. Im always dizzy and vomitting so i needed hin to take care of me plus he smokes so we had a talk that if my day being pregnant is bad (about the vomitting and stuff) that he would not smoke or let me smell and he would drive slowly etc and he agreed but he didnt keep his promise. He made me cry almost everyday, made me feel sad and he would call me fat every minute in short he made my pregnancy very awful until my 5th month my sister and i went for a check up i was so excited but the doctor couldnt find a heartbeat. My baby died inside me (missed miscarriage) so i called my ex at work i got admitted for a week but the baby still inside me they said that mu baby would come out eventually so we waited but he's still selfish and make me cry he would go home late like he used to when the baby was still alive im home alone and i was laboring that day and we had fights everyday. The night before i couldnt take it anymore and i spanked him ao he left me the next day through text he was so mad because i spanked him. He left me laboring ang bleeding that day. Its been a month now since he left and not a call or text from him if i was doing okay or if the baby was out. Now im dealing with 2 heartaches. I thought i was gonna ba a mom and two i thought i was gonna be a wife. ]]> Separation and Divorce Anewstoryforme http://www.lifesupporters.com/forums/separation-and-divorce/i-have-been-abandoned-during-my-darkest-hours-14153.html Imaginary Friends http://www.lifesupporters.com/forums/friends-and-family/imaginary-friends-14152.html Sun, 26 May 2013 14:07:01 GMT I could have used one when I was a kid, but never...

My 13 year old sister has always used screaming to try and get what she wanted, but it is only recently(past couple years) that it has intensified into an almost daily basis, multiple times a day. If she doesn't get what she wants, when she wants it, she starts yelling at my mom. My mom is at her wits end. Her work contract is ending soon and she doesn't know where her next one will come from, and this has been going on for several years now. Plus she's in huge debt(10-20K) and trying to pay two mortgages on our house. I try to help her any way i can but i live on campus during the year and only come by occasionally. My mom is really stressed out and my sister is just getting more and more out of control. She actually BELIEVES that she is in charge of the house and that basically our mother has to serve her every need. I honestly have no idea how she got so spoiled because we're a low middle class family and don't really splurge on things. Maybe it's because she isn't afraid of punishment anymore because my mom can't punish her physically and yelling back at her doesn't help at all. I don't know if talking to her would work at all. we've tried that and it only works temporarily. maybe it's about saying the right thing. I hope the little idiot gains a little maturity soon because if this is just the beginning, i dont want to see where this ends up. ]]> Communication General RaginBro http://www.lifesupporters.com/forums/communication-general/my-sister-is-out-of-control-14151.html The Separation is My Idea http://www.lifesupporters.com/forums/separation-and-divorce/the-separation-is-my-idea-14150.html Mon, 20 May 2013 21:50:32 GMT Just have a moment to stop in and introduce... Just have a moment to stop in and introduce myself. I've been married for almost 9 years and have two boys, ages 6 and 3. I no longer have any physical attraction whatsoever to my husband. I don't think it's fair to either of us to stay married. He has been controlling, disrespectful, and has drank too much throughout our marriage. I asked for a separation last month after having asked for him to treat me nicer for years. He has finally JUST started making the changes I've been asking for but it's way too little, way too late. At this point, I can't even stand for him to touch me at this point.

I hope for an amicable separation. I am disabled from a broken ankle for the next year probably, and I've not worked since we married. I'd love to hear from anyone in any similar situation, or just anyone who wants to say hi. :) ]]> Separation and Divorce Heyitzstacy http://www.lifesupporters.com/forums/separation-and-divorce/the-separation-is-my-idea-14150.html
