My boyfriend’s family really dislikes me. It all started around Novemeber, when we started seeing each other. He asked me to move in fairly quickly, and I accepted. He had even mentioned it to his mother and she was excited for me to move in. I moved in around January. I had previously had my own apartment, my own everything.. I had been single and independent for years. Shortly after I moved in, his parents called him and asked him to come over and have a family talk with them. He drove over to their house and sat through a lecture about how he was changing because of me. They also said I was a party girl and that I was an alcoholic. (I drink socially, but not excessively. And it’s not very often that I go out socially either.) He defended me to his family and told them they were wrong and that there was nothing wrong with me. He came home and was honest with me about what his parents concerns were. It really hurt my feelings. I thought my relationship with is parents was good, but really they were talking behind my back.

His brother came over in January and told us that his parents had been complaining at home about how I changed the way the house looks and it doesn’t even look like their son’s house anymore. I had an apartment before I moved in.. I had furniture and decorations, what was I supposed to do with them?? Anyhow, we mentioned these things to his mom and she denied ever saying anything.

Last month my boyfriend implusively bought a new vehicle. His family blames me for making him get a new car, when I had nothing to do with his decision. Then my boyfriend and I talked and decided to trade in our other car and get another new one. Realistically, we have to pay to tag 2 new vehiles, but the payments would be the same as our other cars. I just feel like everytime he makes a decision, it’s my fault.

On Saturday night, we went to his parents house to ’show face.’ We brought some movies, because we thought we’d stay and watch something with them. Well, we mentioned it and no one seemed interested, so everyone kinda dispursed and did their own thing. I’ve been to his parents house multiple times, and I don’t usually have much to say. Mostly I’m too afraid something I’ll say will be twisted and used against me later, but I’m also a very shy and quiet person. We went outside and his brother’s girlfriend was grinding on his brother lap and it was just awkward. I mean, they were just messing around, but it made me and my boyfriend uncomfortable. My boyfriend mentioned they should ‘get a room’ and then shortly after we left. My boyfriend was told by his mother yesterday that he should call and talk to his brother. My boyfriend called his bother and his brother pretty much said I was using him. He kept saying they try to talk with me but I don’t open up and that his parents were ranting about me once we left the night before. (for the record, I do talk to them when they talk to me directly. I can’t help that I’m not a social butterfly)

So, my boyfriend called his mom and wanted to question her. She got all defensive and just handed the phone to his dad. His dad tried to play it safe and didn’t say too much. He did say that I should be calling his mom if I have an issue. But I’m not the one with the issue, she is and she tells everyone else about it but me! He said he didn’t have any issues with me and that we shouldn’t worry about what his brother was doing since it wasn’t our house. I can respect that, but it still doesn’t change that it made me uncomfortable. Something like that wouldn’t happen in my parents house.

There have been tons of other things, but I don’t have time to list them all. It just seems like I’m never doing anything right in their eyes. My boyfrieind has gone out to a bar with me twice and they were accusing him of being an alcoholic last night and saying he might need to go see someone about it. Every decision we make is the wrong one. If I come over and don’t talk, I’m bitchy. If I come over and talk, then I’ll say the wrong thing.

HELP??

This is a long and strange story, but please read it all.
My girlfriend was an exotic dancer, and one night while at work met a man. This man fell madly in love with her, as most men do, (she’s quite beautiful) and started showering her with attention, and gifts. He bought her all kinds of things, because as he said he wanted to spoil her, and he said he wanted to show her what love really was. When we had to move and could not find an apartment, he bought a house and let us live in it. The only thing he wanted as payment he said was a hug & kiss from her. He bought furniture for the house, beds, bar stools, dressers and a kitchen table and chairs. One night he decided to let himself into the house, he was the owner and had a key, so he figured he had the right to just go in whenever he pleased. So he waited until we were both at work and let himself in. He went through our personal belongings! So we decided we had had enough of his craziness and decided to leave the area completely. He told my girlfriend that she could take the bed he bought her, but no other furniture. We took everything else he bought her, as he had said he bought these things for her because she either a) needed the items, or b) he loved her and wanted to buy her anything he could. They were gifts. Ok, now fast forward 3 months later. We are happily settled in our new home, looking for work. When one day we find out that there are THEFT charges against us both! Now to make matters even worse, because we moved out of the state, and the police couldn’t find us to serve us paperwork, there are now warrants issued for both of us. What on earth do I do? I didn’t steal anything from this man, we only took what he said we could, the BED and all of his "gifts" to my girlfriend.
We are being charged separately, and have both gotten a public defender. Her lawyer said he thinks that the charges are crap, that it sounds like a scorned lover trying to get revenge. My lawyer hasn’t spoken to me. SO what can I do to prevent myself from going to jail? How can I prove that I didn’t take anything from this guy if my lawyer won’t even talk to me untill the day I go to court? My girlfriend has a spotless record, I on the other hand…well let’s just say I’ve been in my fair share of trouble. I feel like I’m going to go to jail for something that I didn’t do…all because this man is upset that this lady would rather be with me than him. Someone help me please.

So my ex and decided to divorce about a year ago. During the marriage i made sure to save money for "our" future and stick to a budget, i mean i could have been one of those wifes that didnt care and just spent every single penny and even put us in debt, but im not that type of person. So before we divorced we paid off my car, only about 00 left on it, then put 00 down on a new car for him so it was even. then we pretty much split the rest of the money in the savings evenly.

in a few short months after we divorced he had already spent all of the money he got (around 00) and now has debt. It bothers me that i spent all those years saving and he just goes out and spends it all on nights out partying and drinking and new clothes and tattoos and a new speaker system for his car. i now feel like i should have been a bit*h and tried to take it all especially since now he probably makes more than twice what i do.

should this bother me??? would it bother you???

also, when i moved out he found out he was getting stationed in Italy, so he rented the house out to someone he worked with. Since we knew the person who would be living in the house we agreed to leave the large furniture in the house for him to use temporarily since the ex could not take it to italy and it would not fit in my new much smaller apartment, and that i would get the furniture from the house when i decided to move back to Texas.
a month or so later the ex called and said they guy living in the house would like to buy the furniture from us rather than trying to find new, i decided that would be ok. well it has now been MONTHS and have not heard anything else, like did the guy living there give my ex money??? or did he change his mind and dosnt want to buy it??? and now i am wondering and a bit pissy because of some pictures i saw on facebook.
Apparently the guy that lives in the house had a party at the house. outside. and he took the nice dining room table, chairs and nice leather bar stools OUTSIDE! the table was being used as a beer pong table! these things were not cheap and now im pissed because if he has not paid for them he needs to be more respectful of other peoples things…. and if he has paid for them my ex has not given me money for them….

how would you feel about this?? what would you say to the ex???
ok.. i know his finances are not my problem.. i know i cant change most of it, that was not my question really.

i was MAINLY asking if these things would bother you, even in the slightest??? knowing that you worked and saved for years and then he just blows it all, i guess it dosnt matter married still or divorced, would that bother you??

I think he likes me, but I feel like I’m getting mixed signals. I really like him, and I don’t know what to do.

Almost three months ago, he used to talk to me online all the time. He asked me to hang out once, I asked to hang out once, then he suddenly went AWOL on me, especially after a friend of mine hinted to him that I might ask him out on a date soon. When she asked him if he liked me or not, or saw potential in dating me he said something like it didn’t matter if he liked me or not, he liked his own thing, his own routine. He wasn’t looking for a relationship, and didn’t want to lead anyone on.

I left him alone, and didn’t hear from him for a while. Just when I was ready to give up on him, thinking he just wasn’t into me, he slowly started talking to me again online. Now, the last few times we’ve hung out with a group of people, he’s been glancing at me. At a restaurant after dinner, he took his time leaving, fixing chairs then walked out behind me. At a bar recently, I noticed he was watching me sometimes. When I arrived at his place to play some poker with people he seemed a little nervous at first when he saw me, and didn’t look at me right away. At his apartment, he smiled at me as I was watching him playing with his dog. I smiled back. Now I’m quite shy, and a bit afraid to be more forward with anything. Also, I don’t want him to run off on me again. All our conversations have been online. He doesn’t invite me to things as he did when we first met. So I’m not sure if he really even wants to hang out with me.

So I’m a bit confused. Should I do something? Does he even still like me? Is he interested again? Can anyone shed any light on this boy’s behavior?

I think he likes me, but I feel like I’m getting mixed signals. So, I wanted to ask the Yahoo community their opinion.

A couple of months ago, I met this cute guy and he started talking to me online all the time. After hanging out a couple of times, he suddenly went AWOL one me, especially after a friend hinted I might ask him to accompany me to a wedding. I was planning on asking him as friend, she made it sound like a date unfortunately. She asked him if he liked me or not, or saw potential in dating me. He said it didn’t matter if he liked me or not, he liked his own thing, his own routine. He wasn’t looking for a relationship, and didn’t want to lead anyone on. By the way, I did not put my friend up to any of that. She went and did that on her own, to my dismay. I was just gonna leave him alone.

After not hearing from him in a while, he slowly started talking to me again online. Now, the last few times we’ve hung out with a group of people, he’s been glancing at me. At a restaurant during dinner, he was playing with my friend’s nephew and seemed to like how it got my attention. After dinner, he took his time leaving, fixing chairs then walked out behind me. At a bar recently, I noticed he was watching me sometimes. Even gave me a hug when I left. When I arrived at his place to play some poker with people he seemed a little nervous at first when he saw me, and didn’t look at me right away. At his apartment, he smiled at me as I was watching him playing with his dog. I smiled back. Now I’m quite shy, and a bit afraid to be more forward with anything. Also, I don’t want him to run off on me again. All our conversations have been online. They’re not as often as they were when we first met. He doesn’t invite me to things as he did when we first met. So I’m not sure if he really even wants to hang out with me.

So I’m a bit confused. Should I do something? Does he even still like me? Is he interested again? Can anyone shed any light on this boy’s behavior?

Thanks.

If someone built a television "set" museum, where you can see recreations of sets from popular television shows, would you go see it?
Imagine being able to sit on the couch in Central Perk from Friends or Archie Bunker’s chair or Norm’s bar stool from Cheers or walking through Jerry Seinfeld’s apartment door just like Kramer or tripping over the ottoman in the Petrie’s house or visit Grandpa Munster’s lab.
I think it would be fun. Anyone else agree with me? What set would you like to visit?

I just moved to an apartment with a decent sized balcony. I have shade a good part of the day, and the breeze is fantastic. I want furniture comfortable enough that I could fall asleep on. I’m not worried about functioning for eating or anything, but I’d at least like seating for 2. A hammock would eat up all my space with the stand, so that’s the only no go I have.

Any ideas?

You see, I need answers to my questions about this. I live in an ugly and slightly cluttered old house. We moved out of our apartment to live here, and since my Dad died and since his family is dead (well, mostly,) we kind of had to take it.You see, our downstairs is mostly renovated but upstairs is a mess. Full of unopened fire places that we can’t afford to put up, to an ugly linoleum kitchen with flickering lights. Our furniture is ugly, and my room is about the size of an elevator. I can’t wait until I turn 18, and I feel like it is unfair. All our neighbors think we’re bad people since our yard is the *nicest* on the block while their houses/yards are so clean. It’s not a fire hazard or anything, but it’s so ugly and tacky. My Mom can’t really part with clothes and furniture. My friends don’t live in MANSIONS but they have nice, clean and big houses. My house is averaged sized, but I don’t know what to do. Hopefully I’ll win the beauty pageant I entered, and go to Nationals and win the car, then sell it so I can fix up my house. I am thankful, but I am feeling somewhat depressed. Now my questions are.
1.) What should I do?
2.) How should I approach my Mom about this?
3.) Should I clean on my own?
4.) Do you ever feel ashamed of your house?

Good luck xoxo.
God bless xoxo.
I meant isn’t the *nicest* on the block sorry people!!!!

Good luck xoxo.
God bless xoxo.
Oh and sorry if the question is too long.

Good luck xoxo.
God bless xoxo.

My Fiancee and I live in a large apartment complex and have for more than a year. Randomly a month ago we were notified that a member from the township would be inspecting our apartment along with someone from our complex’s maintenance staff. My FI was home when the inspection occurred and the guy was very rude. He used a yardstick to measure all our furniture, looked in our kitchen cabinets, closets, etc. and was yelling that we have too much stuff/clutter. Now he’s coming back to re-inspect our apartment next week and I don’t know what to do. I’ve NEVER heard of a township official coming into your apartment (and no one came our first year there) and we may have a lot of unopened food in our cupboards and boxes for my FI’s home business, but we do not have anything that is a safety hazard or dirty and would attract rodents or bugs. The complex said if this guy deems our apartment "unsafe" we will have to pay a K fine per day and our lease will be terminated. Has anyone heard of this? I tried to Google it but nothing came up. I live in suburban Philadelphia.
It wasn’t because someone complained. The entire complex was inspected. I will Google the fire safety laws though. Thanks.

There are two other girls in our suite style apartment. Julie has agreed to buy the entertainment system and has already bought most of the kitchen appliances. She also wants to buy the TV and but not buy any of the living/dining room furniture. Julie thinks that the other room mate and I should split the costs of the furniture. The thing is, all of the things Julie is buying can be taken to her home after college. I will not be able to do anything with the crappy furniture after college- because who wants crappy furniture? In my opinion, it would be better to spend 00 on the TV and kitchen utensils than 0 of furniture. I feel like the other room mate and I are being taken advantage because she gets to buy the things that can be used after college. Should I just shut up and pay for the cheap furniture or stand up to her and try to work something else out? Any suggestions for a good outcome in this situation would be greatly appreciated.
