Do you support your S/O going out to clubs and bars alone?
Me and my man have been living together for 8 months and it has been a wonderful 8 months. We have went out together and had wonderful times. Well a month ago he took me to a very smokey hood spot that I didnt enjoy at all and since then he has been demanding the need for autonomy and going by himself sometimes. And I am fine with that, but he prefers to go out to the very clubs he used to pick up women at and it makes me feel very uncomfortable.

We live in ATL and there are tons of places he can hang at but he insist on hanging at clubs, by himself. Plus he feels he does not need a curfew because he is grown. His reason for hanging out? So he can drink and smoke and during an argument he said he will be dancing with other women and I need to accept that…and I broke up with him. It’s not the issue of dancing with other women, its the combination of him smoking, drinking, and a strange butt grinding against his crotch. It is not a good combination. He says he wont cheat and I trust he wont, but how does he know what he will and wont do if he is drinking?

He claims I am being controlling, I say he does not want to respect our relationship. Am I being unreasonable?

Do you have an issue with you significant other goes out and parties alone?


I’d have problems if I wanted to come and he said no. Most of the time, he goes alone because I don’t want to go. If he doesn’t want you to go, there’s probably something going on and you need to investigate. Maybe tell him to go and then follow him. See what he does. Or you can have your mutual friend go and tell you what’s going on. My husband and I have "our" days. He goes out on Fridays with his friends, and I go out on Thursdays with mine. It’s an agreement though.

.Going out with friends, no problem. Going out to nightclubs alone, I’d probably have a problem. I have no issue with my partner wanting time to do his own thing, with us spending time apart, but I’d have a big problem with him wanting to go out and pretend he was single and on the prowl. That would be him disrespecting the relationship…when you are in a relationship with someone, you don’t pretend to be a swinging single.

Sounds to me like he’s just not ready to settle down.
BabeHart | Feb 06, 2010


if he is going out alone, he is bound to talk to someone–esp if he is drinking! idk, id be uncomfortable with that. "strange butt grinding on him"-thats wrong. if he just went out with a buddy to smoke and drink, ok thats fine. but bumpin n grinding on another chick is really unnerving. i , too, would think he was flirting and looking to hook up–esp if drinking a lot.

thats fine for a bf to go out alone, but to drink at a club? nah, he is bound to get into some kinda trouble…i dont like that at all. u were right. he should take u out to places where it is not so smoky. thats wrong…

idk if u wanna break up over that if it has been a great eight months, but i would explain it’s suspicious that he does that

When the cat’s away the mice will play. Get out of this relationship. It sounds like he wants to live the single life, but still have security at home. That is not fair to you. If he respected and loved you then he would take you with him out, or stay home and spend time with you. No man in a committed relationship goes out to bars and dances with other woman while getting drunk. Leave him.

Aided by his exiled band of genetic supermen, Khan—brilliant renegade of 20th Century Earth—has raided Space Station Regula One, stolen a top secret device called Project Genesis, wrested control of another Federation starship, and now schemes to set a most deadly trap for his old enemy Kirk . . . with the threat of a universal Armageddon!

Why is Lt. Saavik called Mr. in the Star Trek movies?
I haven’t seen all the movies, but in Wrath of Khan Kirk keeps calling her Mr. Saavik. I even put on the subtitles and it said Mr. too.
I am just so confused and any insight as to why would be very relieving.
Thanks


Actually, it’s not just custom to call a Lieutenant "Mr.", but any officer of Commander and lower, according to naval tradition (it is NOT regulation.

Furthermore, nowadays, it would be appropriate to call a female officer "Ms." it comes down tot he officer’s individual choice. As such, Saavik probably expressed some desire to be called Mr."

There’s a ton more detail available, but it’s a bit off-topic from the question. :)

| Jun 25, 2009


In Naval Command it is proper to refer to a Lieutenant as Mr. regardless of their actual gender. Because Star Trek takes place mostly on the Enterprise which is considered a Naval Vessel Lt. Saavik is referred to as Mr. Saavik in order to keep that tradition going.
musicaeon | Jun 25, 2009


I agree with the first poster but would like to add that it takes the gender issue out of the equation. Everyone of rank is called Mr. so as to not delineate between men and women. Apparently they are progressive but not progressive enough to have equal respect for women without a constant reminder. Plus if you think about it, it makes everything easier. Who can keep up with if a female is a Miss, Mrs, or Ms.

whats the difference between these two korean phrases?
ive learned to say the same thing two different ways apparently but i dont know the difference. i cant spell it in hangul, so im forced to write it the best way i can phonetically. im trying to say where im from. america.

mee- gook saram imnida

and

cheo-nun mee-gook saram e-ayo
ok…for some reason my words were censored guk is the blocked word


I am not sure but I believe that the difference might be formal and informal.

I spent some time in Korea and even when saying hello or greeting someone they had different ways of saying things that were formal and informal.
letfreedomring | Feb 07, 2010


The first one: ???????—> ??- American ??- person ???- to be (formal)
The second one: ?? ???????—> ??- formal ‘I’ ????- American person ???- to be (polite ending)

They mean the same thing, but the first one is formally spoken, the second is polite.

IMDB rating: 4.80

Plot: Owen Baker is a 12-year-old loner who has been working as a neighborhood dog-walker so he can earn the privilege of getting a dog of his own. His hard work pays off when his parents let him adopt a scruffy mutt he names Hubble. Both boy and dog get more than they bargained for when Owen wakes up one morning to discover he can understand every word Hubble says, including the ominous phrase: “Take me to your leaders.” Owen learns that dogs came to Earth thousands of years ago to colonize and dominate the planet. Hubble (who is really named Canid 3942) has been sent by the powerful Greater Dane on a mission from the Dog Star Sirius to make sure dogs have fulfilled this destiny. Despite the best efforts of Owen’s rag-tag group of neighborhood dogs to convince him otherwise, Hubble soon discovers the awful truth about Earth dogs: “You’re all pets!” Now Owen (a boy who never had a friend) and Hubble (a dog who never needed one) must work together to prepare the neighborhood dogs for a visit from The Greater Dane—or all dogs will be removed from the planet! The fate of Earth dogs hangs in the balance, and it’s up to Owen, Hubble, and their canine companions to save man’s best friend.

Boy who likes me getting on my nerves!!!?
Hi everyone! Thanks for taking the time to read my question.

I am 20 years old and never actually, as such, went out on dates with anyone, so never mind having ever had a boyfriend. People tell me that I’m pretty and think that I am cute – sometimes people oogle at me as if I’m a pet dog geez!

Anyways. There was this guy that I got introduced to about a month ago, in a club and since he was with the crutches (he broke his leg), I took pity on him and ended having quite a conversation with him. He has quite an ok character and I felt at ease with him. But as much as I liked his character, I did not like him physically – I might even dare to say that I felt, well repulsed (no offence intended!!!).

He then started kissing me on the cheek and slightly pinching my cheeks, and going on, on how sweet I was. I was kinda embarrassed but I let it pass. He ended up giving me his mobile no and I his.

From then on, he added me on Facebook and then on MSN and he has always talked to me every single day since day. At first it was nice talking to him, but now he is seriously pis sing me off!! He is throwing serious hints, saying that he won’t give up easily on me and other things like he keenly waits to talk to me.

I don’t want to sound choosey or picky or bitchy or mean, but I just don’t like him visibly, and now, not even his character seems so nice anymore. I don’t want to hurt him by saying that I don’t like him – but he is seriously getting on my nerves! I’d like to just remain friends with him but I don’t know how I will be able to bring up the subject – I hate arguments.

Another thing is, why are those attracted to me, guys which I don’t like?? I am a person that tries to be nice to everyone, I try to never assume much and so on. And then the guys I like are either only interested in getting me laid or else they are without any guts.

So please help me – what should I do to make him understand that I just want to be friends with him? And why am I attracted to the wrong guys??

Thanks!!


idk
Wally West | Feb 05, 2010


tell him you’ll never be more than friends… its the bombshell he does not want to hear but thats what its going to take…. As for you being attracted to the wrong guys.. well all women are attracted to jerks that are good looking.. they meet a good looking guy.. he treats them like they are not good enough for him and they go after the chase… its how women work and its the very reason men seem like pigs…. its because its the ONLY way to get an attractive woman.. treat them like dirt.. Women date these types over and over and over till they eventually realize that they are attracted to the wrong type of man… Its common sense.. women want what they can’t have.. nice/good guys are in plenty but women want someone to treat them like they are never good enough.. its a woman thing.

crazy weird dream thingy i think i need help?
what would you say to this, the other day i was just sitting around minding my own business then all of the sudden i felt this sudden urge to drink a rasberry smoothie, so i went outside and got into my car and then it hit me that it was 2:73 in the morning and there probably wernt any smoothie shops open let alone the kind of smoothie shop that would sell a rasberry smoothie so i just fell asleep in my car deciding to wait till morning, and then i had this dream that my fuzzy pink mirror dice were talking to me but they were all like the whole thing on the emperors new groove where kronk had the angel on one shoulder and the devil on the other ya so like one dice was telling me i should fart really loud and the other was telling me that i should conceal it, the only problem was that i couldent tell which one was playing the angels part so ya anyway then i farted so loud that i woke up only to relize that i had somehow driven to to the smoothie shop in my sleep so i got up and went in


Your first problem was when it was 2:73in the morning, Clearly you had already entered an alternate universe. This was not a dream. Welcome back.

the satellite image of the earth……..?
When you look at the satellite image of the earth, you can effortlessly get the feel of the world as one village but in practical terms people often decline to look beyond their own nation. How different is Patriotism, as a motivation, from Self Centredness from a broader view. If we consider the entire humanity as one village, then Patriotism appears like Selfishness. By bringing Humanity into focus, our care, affection and kindness will try to look beyond the political boundaries. We keep talking about Globalization benefits for gaining economic advantage but on the other hand we keep clinging ourselves to Patriotism. By doing this we are actually contradicting our own selves and passing a wrong message to the teenagers and children.Unfortunately, Patriotism today has become a shield for people to hide that side of theirs which cannot co-exist with people who are in any way different from them. Patriotism has become an excuse for our people to practice Favouritism. It is for each one of us to introspect as to what lies beneath our idea of promoting Patriotism.

Is this not true ? What are your views on this ?


Even in small villages there are neighborhoods and while a global view is a good thing, patriotism is rarely the cause of not developing a world view or thinking globally. So, no, your statement is not true and it does not address the actual issues and causes.

I need tips for safe raising, a temporarily inherited, Pit Bull that was abused?
I recently inherited a Pit Bull from a friend. I am currently watching for about a year, till my friend comes back from Iraq. He serves in the army.

The abused part in the title of this question, is not from my friend, but from the very first owners who owned the dog as a puppy. From my understanding the dog was raised by one family who had abused it. Then the dog, was taken away by animal control because of the abusive owners. Then another man adopted it, and trained it very strictly. I don’t know if he abused it or not, but just trained it very strictly. Then I guess that owner had lost his job, and could no longer afford to take care of the animal and was forced to put the dog up for adoption. Then another family from which I familiar with adopted the dog, and loved it very well. Treated it well. Thus, once again the dog had to be given up, because the land lord didn’t like them owning a Pit Bull when she came to collect rent.

Thus after that my brother had adopted the dog. So now you know a little about the dog’s history of being moved around from place to place.

More on to the dog.

He is very shy, and if extremely timid around other dogs. He tends to put his head down and avoids eye contact if near them, except for the Sheltie I own, that also stays in the house.

You also have to talk to the dog in a baby voice or he takes it as he is trouble which usually result’s in him peeing on himself and huddling in the corner. A hug will usually get him out of this state.

So far there have been no reports from what I heard of the dog attacking anyone as of yet. I keep him inside the house at all times. He stay’s most of the time in the living room. He is docile around the cat’s and oddly, around the Sheltie that own.

When I take him out to go pee, I like to keep him on a leash that I hold till he is finished, then I bring him back inside. I will play with him in the house. Usually just hiding from him and he will try and find me. Basically hide and seek in away. If he does something bad, I tell him to "go to his room" in a normal tone(casual talking manner), and he will put his head down low to the ground, and will go and lay on his bed. Kinda of like a time out thing.

Other then everything else he is a very good dog. He is very attention starved, and wants to get as much hugs as he can get. If he see’s another animal getting attention he will run up to them nudge them out of the way and get’s in your face soon as possible to get as many hugs and ear rubs.

Is there anything else I can do with this dog breed, to make sure I am training it properly for the time being, and anything I should be corrected on that I am doing wrong?
The dog also doesn’t play with the other cats, and Sheltie I own.


The only thing I can think of is to completely turn his view of training around. Try clicker training. Find a good book or youtube video about clicker training (i like kikopup on youtube). This type of training will help him build confidence. Help him learn tricks and use treats. Give him time to get used to the other cats, sheltie, he might never play with them, but merely enjoy their company. This poor guy has been abused and trained roughly. Clicker training should help build him back up, slowly. Good luck, and your brother should be so thankful you are willing to watch his dog. Hope for the best!

He may be timid or show around the other animals because he hasn’t been around or been socialized to other animals, Just give him time to adjust, he will get used to them. I would also advise you make sure that he does show any signs of aggression.

You seem to be doing very well with the dog in all other areas.
0Eyes of a Warrior- APBT0 | Feb 01, 2010


well the not socializing is a BAD thing. he will turn agressive ( just like any other dog) if he is not walked way more than this. also, the peeing thing. what you gotta do is correct the behavior. the moment it starts. and if he is socialized enough, he should have pretty much every other problem fixed! good luck and have fun with thatcute apbt of yours! oh, and whats his name? bicolor or tri?
Sam | Feb 01, 2010


i don’t know the age of the dog, but if it is under a year of age he will be scared of allot of things. my pit was scared of everything and every dog and cat until about a year old. now it barks at every animal it sees, she is now 18 months old. i got a 9 month old pit now and she is the same way. do not baby your dog, if it does something wrong correct it
rios4230@sbcglobal.net | Feb 01, 2010


Harsh Abuse cases do usually take time and specific exercises to over come the fear of the abuse source, if it is people and other dogs then concentrate on those two points. It sounds like he is well behaved but you need to get over to him that in these situations there is nothing to fear. In the event of guests coming over or random meetings in the street ask any people not to be overly forward to him, always carry treats with you, ask if they will crouch with a treat in there hand but but look at him (encouraging him to go to them) once that initial meeting is past its ok for them to pet him etc.. even in the case of guests in your house ask any guests not to "pursue" him to pet him* but let him go to them, then it ok for a little petting. In the case of other dogs, see if you can get in there and reassure him before he goes in to that very nervous state, pet the other dog first yourself, use a happy voice when in the situation and try to completely relax your self.
Plenty of walks and remember he will still need daily basic obedience (dogs need a structure) but use "positive enforcement".
Although some people don’t agree with "go to his room" I do and think it very affective at the right time, but try not to leave it to long before you engage him again, at least in till he gets a bit more confidence… you only want to get a message that its that one thing he has done wrong not that you are generally banishing him for non ending period.
Good luck, I’m sure everything will be fine.

Add: also ask people not to pet him from above, but to start under the chin, a hand from above is actually being rude to a dog and can be un nerving to an already nervous dog.

Do we hear the voice of seas and rivers saying "There is no god,but Allah"(4)?
"It is He Who has made the sea subject, that ye may eat thereof flesh that is fresh and tender, and that ye may extract therefrom ornaments to wear; and thou seest the ships therein that plough the waves, that ye may seek (thus) of the bounty of Allah and that ye may be grateful."
(Qur’an 16/14)
The seas, constantly and vitally surging, merging and pouring forth with an inclination to conquest inherent in their very nature, surrounded the earth, and together with the earth, revolved, extremely swiftly, in a circle of twenty-five thousand years in a single year. Yet the seas did not disperse, did not overflow or encroach on the land contiguous to them. They moved and stood still, and were protected by the command and power of a most powerful and magnificent being.
Then looking to the depths of the sea, the traveller saw that apart from the most beautiful, well-adorned and symmetrical jewels, there were thousands of different kinds of animal, sustained and ordered, brought to life and caused to die, in so disciplined a fashion, their provision coming from mere sand and salt water, that it established irresistibly the existence of a Powerful and Glorious, a Merciful and Beauteous Being administering and giving life to them.
The traveller then looks at the rivers and sees that the benefits inherent in them, the functions they perform, and their continual replenishment, are inspired by such wisdom and mercy as indisputably to prove that all rivers, springs, streams and great waterways flow forth from the treasury of mercy of the Compassionate One, the Lord of Glory and Generosity. They are preserved and dispensed, indeed, in so extraordinary a fashion that it is said

i never cry, is there something wrong with me?
I could cry when i was little. Actually, I could randomly make myself cry (which my father attributed to acting skills) and could wail for hours on end to make a show of it. But I think the times I have truly cried in the past… possibly six years (since I was 9) are very slim. My mother says that besides when i was a child, she couldn’t count the number of times I’ve cried on her fingers. It’s not that I can’t produce tears, I’ve never met someone so prone to onion cries and my eyes constantly water when I yawn, especially when I’m going to bed and I close them. I think they are overflowing because nothing comes out. I can’t cry at sad movies or books, but sometimes i feel overwhelmed with emotion but cannot cry.

My friends think I’m cracked actually. My parents were divorced when I was six (but honestly theres nothing wrong in my family with that, it’s something I’ve always known) and then my father divorced again just a few years ago (that was more turmoil, but it was before then that I stopped crying). They think that I’m emotionally inept or something.

I don’t think I’m off that way really. I just don’t feel sad. Even when my stepgrandfather died whom I had known since I was six or seven, I didn’t cry. In fact, I just didn’t feel sad. A kid in my school died last year and every girl I knew cried, except me. I’ve seen everyone of my friends cry, most of them multiple times, when they are happy or sad or annoyed. They can come home after a bad day and just cry. I can’t do that. The thought just never crosses me mind, crying. If I had a bad day, to be honest I wouldn’t notice. I don’t count the number of things that go wrong. I forget and move on probably too quickly. I don’t think I feel grief properly. I just don’t get depressed or sad or PMS or something, I’m naturally happy (with side effects)

So I’m just wondering if there is something wrong with me. Once I looked up asphergers but that’s not me, I’m not socially awkward in any manner and not physically clumsy. I’m normal pretty much. I get very high grades and play sports and piano and write. Maybe some physical things that might be weird about me, I get hot sometimes when its cold and vice versa. I eat really weird food combinations that I crave. I work out constantly because i have a backwards metabolism. I sometimes get that ringing in my ear when its really loud, and I’m rarely sick enough to go to the doctors and take medicine besides cough drops and occassionaly tylenol.

That’s everything now that could possibly answer the question if there is something mentally or physically wrong with me. Please just tell me if there’s something wrong, because sometimes I think people worry about me. (I’m not too worried though, but i rarely worry about stuff that won’t usually happen). Thank you so much if you actually even took the time to read all this (:


well you would cry if you got physically hurt right?

I don’t really see anything wrong with your story or you, you’re just a really strong person. Your story reminded me of a girl at a retreat I helped run a few months back, when we divided into small groups, she was in mine, and during the course of the discussion she stated she had the perfect life, with loving parents, and was raised not to cry, and never did, but after an activity later in the day when we split back to small groups she broke out into tears and went through a 1/4 of a box of kleenex. She kept apologizing but we kept telling her she was only human. it just takes a certain event/moment, and all the emotions will come out. you just haven’t had it yet

If this really bothers you, go to see a psychiatrist. You sound normal to me though, but if there are any detachment issues you are suppressing in the subconscious, someone can help you with that after you talk with them for long periods of time as opposed to a quick answer. It’s definitely not asphergers.

There is nothing wrong with not crying. However, it probably means 2 things:
1. you suppress your feelings
2. you bottle things up.
I have spend many years without crying which troubled me quite a bit. Tears are a way to purge emotion. For several years I was married to someone who was cruel and I knew that if I shed a single tear, it would be used to put me down. So instead of crying I allowed my pain and anger to build up inside, and developed anxiety disorder and suffered from frequent panic attacks. Anyway, I still have a hard time to cry, but I do occasionally.Sometimes I wish I could do it more. My mechanism to copy with pain or anguish is different from other people (I use physical activities as a mean express pain). It’s not weird, and it’s not that unusual: it’s just different. Just make sure that negative emotion are expressed rather than repressed

I honestly don’t think there is anything wrong with you. I would just say that you are a lucky person to be happy most of the times and just revel in it. If other people can’t understand it,its not ur problem. U urself said that u feel pretty emotional sometimes..so that shows that there is nothing wrong with ur feelings. If u can’t feel sad abt certain things,then its just u. I mean, I probably wldnt feel very sad if my step grandfather died..for one thing,I assume he was old and it was not really unexpected…and secondly, how close can u be with ur step grandfather anyways? I am not even very close to my own grandparents.
As far as the physical stuff goes, everyone has something or the other abt them that is just a bit weird. I wldnt worry too much abt it. But if there is something that bothers u abt ur health ,then just consult a doctor to put ur mind at ease.
But otherwise, i wld say just enjoy the kind of person u r and stop worrying abt problems that aren’t there.
