Open Question: I love him, but cannot seem to show it?
Ok, this could be very long and complicated, not to mention boring for you. So I’m going to try to get straight to the point. In other words, here’s the short version.

I’m a 19 year old female, 2nd semester freshman in college, who is completely IN love with this guy I’ve been seeing a bit over 10 months. I know he doesnt completely trust me since I made out with another guy once, and we broke up for a bit at the end of November. I really do love him with my enitre being, but I cant seem to show it to him enough. To be honest, I’ve never been all that compassionate and my parents were definitely not a good example. They fought a lot and never seemed to show the other they truely cared. I’m afraid we’re becoming my parents because all we seem to do lately is fight like my parents did. Back in November over that “break” for lack of a better term, he started dating this girl that I cannot stand. What I really didnt understand is why he was dating her when he’s 20 and she was only 16 (I think she’s 17 now) and would tell me all the time how much he loves me and wants to be with me, but just wants to date someone else at the moment. Honestly, I did pretty much everything I could to get them apart. Finally I ended up telling his mom what was going on, mainly because my parents dont understand and are biased. I guess his mom told him off for dating her, and they broke up. Roughtly a few weeks later, we’re back together and engaged again. Last night he borrowed my camera to take some pictures and found one of my other guy friend. I realize how it looked to him – like I was cheating on him again. But I swear to God I wasnt. I love him way to much to hurt him ever again like that. He says I dont show him I love him and that he feels that I think he’s disgusting because “you hardly ever touch me.” All I ever want to do is cuddle with him, but he’s usually on his computer playing World of Warcraft or the Sims 2 and I cant really get him to get off. I suggested we try couples therapy, but he shot that down. I’m not entirely sure why he wont even consider that or even let me try to make this right with him. My parents want me in my dorm, but I’ve been staying with him (it’s 2 weeks into the semester) and have to use his truck to get to and from campus. I dont have a lot of money and I dont have a job, so I cant really help him pay rent all that much, and I know it would be so much easier if my dad just gave me my car but he wont for some stupid reason. I mean, he used like $2,000 of my money and put around $200 of his own with it, and never put my name on the title because “the insurance would be sky high.”

Ok, so that wasnt really short, and I’m sorry. I feel like I went off my point a few times, but it all ties in. And I just want to be with this man so badly. I know he’s my soulmate. I know it sounds cliche and cheesey, but I just know that he is! How do I show him I’m trying to change and that I love him when I’ve never been exposed to love like this before? For our 10 month anniversary, I made a really romantic dinner and he really liked it and basically said I need to do it more often. And I know I do. I know I have issues too. I see a psychiatrist, who told me that I have irritability and put me on medication. Please dont think I’m mentally insane because I’m not. My fiance, or former-fiance (I’m not sure which he is because he never made that clear this morning) is supposed to be on medication too but he wont take it.

I’ve been seeing a counselor at my college, and she can only help me, not both of us. We’ve talked about me possibly having him join us in a session, but she isnt sure if that would be possible because she’s a professor first and a counselor second. I really wish I knew what to do. I’m going to go get food after my last class before I head back and cook dinner for him when I do get back and hope he takes that as a sign. I would really appreciate any help that I can get. I feel so helpless. Honestly, I’ve never loved anyone this much and I’m scared to death of losing him. Please help me prevent that from happening.

Open Question: Really long question…inlaws?
Ok- 1st i’m going to say i’m pregnant and maybe that’s why i’m so upset about this.

Friday, i went to my mother in laws house with my husband and remembered why i hate being there. My brother in law lives there with his long term girlfriend and their/ her 3 kids. It was report card day so i was able to see my neices grades and that one should be reading at an 8-10 reading level and is struggling at a 3. My BIL and his woman have both been druggies for most of the time that i’ve known them but seem to have cleaned up lately. I think that the kids are struggling because of a lack of help and parenting along with whatever drugs were taken while they were in their moms belly. So i was trying to help my neice read a (level 3) book for her homework and the whole time, all of my inlaws were screaming at the girls, telling me to just stop helping her read the book… I ignored them and helped her finish the book. When my husband and i tried to help one of them with her math homework, my nephew came up playing a video game and started talking to his sister. I told him that she was busy and trying to do her homework, he tried a couple more times to get her attention, i repeated myself, and he ran to his other sister to do the same thing while she was doing her homework in her room. She was sitting in her closet doing her homework (i dont know why she chose to do it there) when he ran in, yelling, and jumping around. I yelled to the other room “Hunter, let Hannah do her homework” and my MIL yelled at me- he’s going to get his pajamas. Now, i promise you, from the screams comning from her room, he didn’t just go in there to get his pj’s but they are all crazy and won’t punish him. He left the closet, turned off the light, leaving Hannah in the dark and closed the door. And when Hannah tried to tell them what he did, my husbands mom yelled at her. (He really never gets in trouble- last christmas, he stabbed his sister in the hand with a butter knife.. she got in trouble for screaming… and when i put him in the corner, my MIL yelled at me that he was just tired.- When he’s an adult and kills someone, the cops won’t care how tired he was)

Anyways, My husband works offshore and is gone for 28 days and home for 2 weeks at a time. Last time he was home, his brother called him almost every day asking him to come help with one thing or another (putting up christmas lights, moving a dresser, picking out four-wheelers for the kids (5, 7, and 9 yrs), putting together a basketball goal, putting the stickers on the basketball goal that didn’t get done the 1st day…). So all he did the entire time he was off is work at their house. So when we went over there friday, I told my husband that if he wanted to help his brother, he needed to limit it to 1 day. We can go over there to visit more than once but not to work. So when Grant asked Ryan if he would come over to help re-sheetrock the whole freaking house and replace a toilet, Ryan said, “i don’t know, i’ll see”. So grant called yesterday and left a voicemail saying that he understands that Ryan has to walk on pins and needles around me because i don’t like going over there… and basically calling me a bitch and saying that Ryan was rude to him the day before bc he didn’t act excited about a day of sheetrocking. They got money from their insurance to pay someone to do the sheetrock but want to keep the $$ for themselves. And the whole time, my mother in law was screaming in the background. I’ve told Ryan to just tell him mom to forget about the baby shower bc i’d hate to make them do something for someone they hate so much… and i’m honestly considering not going if she follows through with the shower. What should i do? And who is the crazy one? Is it me or are they all nuts? BTW- my husband is over there today without me because i refused to go.. i hope they get the point that they are out of line but my husband is sweet and non-confrontational so he probably won’t confront his family about treating me like crap.

Open Question: Where do a lot of Americans get the idea that the rest of the world is VASTLY behind the US in terms of Tech?
MY QUESTION IS CONTAINED IN THE QUESTION LINE. THERE IS NO NEED TO REITERATE THE QUESTION IN THE SUPPORTIVE BODY TEXT BELOW.

If you can not understand that, please close this browser window and go put your head down on your desk until the urge to think passes
– Thank you

Supportive Body Text:
I was speaking to my cousin and she told me flat out that I am WRONG in that India has some of the most advanced Cardiac Health Research and that US Insurance Companies are actually sending their members on “Medical Tourism” to India, Singapore, Belgium, etc. for heart surgeries and orthopedic surgeries…

She couldn’t not comprehend that we have both out-priced our own people out of the ability to use our own medical system and that our science and technological industries are slipping and we are no longer on top in our research and practical scientific and medical industries.

I tell you about my cousin but this is a VERY COMMON feeling among many many people I speak with. (Both Liberals and Conservatives.)

When I told them about how Singapore built a scientific research complex and then recruited THE BEST MINDS ON EARTH with the promise of both funding and, more importantly, an aid to take care of 99% of the paperwork… When I tell them about how Howard Hughes foundation is the closest thing to the methods used outside the US to encourage research and investigation for the sake of research and investigation they look at me as if I am speaking Chinese…

The very idea that we, the United States, is no longer #1 in EVERYTHING is almost offensive to them… It is downright repugnant and they actually show signs of ANGER in their expressions. They have called me a liar… Un-American…

How is it possible that so many of our people refuse to even consider the idea that we are slipping behind the rest of the evolving world because of our own partisan system of government that has, literally, torn this country in to factions?

I’m not saying that we suck… I’m not saying I don’t like my home land… I’m just trying to get people to realize how far down we have sunk because until we come to terms with this, we will only continue to slide!!
