nuemann @nuemann (332) • United States 27 Feb 09

Am asking all you wonderful lovers and friends alike to know how much longer do I have to keep the tolerance thing up , even when she doesn't seem to care about me anymore. I have been wondering what life would be like if we were...

jolasu That's your choice. You recongnize it. You admit it and yet you aren't ready to move on all on your own. Why? I don't want to come across rude, but I've been asking myself the same question and it's one only I can answer for myself. Being "outside your box"...

Can you be forced to fall out of love?

dismalgrin @dismalgrin (2604) • United States 22 Feb 09

Okay, I've been in love with one man for the past 4 years. We have 2 children together. He comes from a very complicated family background and all that. Well, we went and bought our wedding bands (he bought mine, and I bought his)...

jolasu No. And I honestly don't think it's fair to ask. It's possible to move on and move forward in life, but to stop caring or loving isn't a fair request or requirement. I can admit to loving in situations where I probably shouldn't, but I really don't care what...

jolasu I'll dance anywhere. As long as I'm feeling good and enjoying it - who's got the right to judge? Honestly, I held it against my husband, still do actually, that he won't dance with me out of fear of "doing it wrong". Just do it. You can't be wrong.

Should wives of today still submit to their husbands?

cvrajan @cvrajan (354) • India 22 Feb 09

jolasu I've gotten to the point that usually I can't talk on the phone for more than 10 minutes and even that can be a challenge. I used to be able to talk for hours to people I also saw on a regular basis. Today, I'd rather talk in person or not at all. That limits...

jolasu I agree with Barbie84. It would totally depend on personality and common interests. No matter how rich or good looking someone is, it wouldn't make up for them being really mean or rude to you or others. So I guess my answer would be yes to either scenario...

jolasu I generally act flirty on days where I'm fairly light-hearted. To be honest, I don't think I've actually been very flirty in the past few months. Too much stress lately I guess.
