Hello myLotters! Me and my partner of 7 months just spent a week with my mother as we returned from our Christmas trip to Switzerland. This is my first really significant relationship (as I've not considered myself mature...

ronnalee The problem is my mother is extremely antisocial and introverted - even when I'm around most of our 'time together' is her either watching TV or playing games on the computer and from time to time making passing remarks, and me trying but failing to make and...

ronnalee That sounds terrible. Glad you mother accepts and likes your husband, though. And you're absolutely right, at the end of the day you're married to your husband, it was your choice, and no one know better than you if you made the right decision.

ronnalee Indeed, but my mother is thankfully quite progressive and open-minded and less ignorant than most. My partner sees the situation for what it is, but I think maybe I need to communicate better with my mother. Thanks for the response.

ronnalee Thanks for the response! And lucky you indeed. And yes, she's definitely a keeper so with time I think my mother will get better at this.

ronnalee So did you bring your girlfriend to your parents in the end? How did they react?

ronnalee Yeah, I did explain and thankfully that resolved the conflict. However I don't think I would be telling my girlfriend to "man up" as you said.

Hello myLot, I've seen lots of posts lately regarding relationships and faithfulness so I was wondering what you think about this issue. Why do you think people cheat? Have you ever been cheated on or have you ever cheated on...

ronnalee Thanks for the response. Yes, trust and faithfulness are vital in relationships and unfortunately cheating can eliminate these foundations very easily and even permanently damage somebody's trust in future relationships. This happened to someone I know and she...

ronnalee Leaving your family can't be easy. I would suggest that if you are going to go through with it, make sure you have some sort of a back up plan if it goes wrong, and also, maybe try doing something like getting a temporary job near him. Going to visit for a...

ronnalee Thanks for the response! Yes, I imagine it was a nerve-wrecking situation for both of them. As I mentioned in another post, my mother doesn't have much experience being a host or looking after anyone but me, and in terms of eating habits, I'm the most...

ronnalee Sorry to hear your partner and mother don't get along! Thankfully my mother doesn't dislike my girlfriend, but she's a pretty cold and detached woman so she can easily come off that way to those who don't know her.

ronnalee Thanks for your response! Yeah, she was just trying to be accommodating - she's on a special diet for her health issues so she doesn't eat much in the first place and so she went out of her way to get us proper food, but she made a mistake assuming that...

I saw a child stealing and I told his mother. She said oh not again and took the item out of the child pocket and put it back on the shelf and walked out. Not really what I would of done if it were my child. I would of made the...

ronnalee I stole a few things in my time when I was a kid. However, I don't agree with the need for punishment at all. If a child is trying to steal something, I believe a better approach than punishment or humiliating your child by forcing them to bring it back and...

Let's look at this picture: http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md55yfQhNQ1qesi41o1_500.jpg The above is an ad from the 1950s advertising a product that will allow women to put on weight and achieve 'glamorous curves'. It makes a...

ronnalee Great response, you brought up some fantastic points that I hadn't thought of before! Your paragraph about boys wanting to look like men was especially interesting, I didn't realise it's happening nor have I noticed that older actors are playing such young...

I know for a fact that a lot of women are aiming for the perfect man. Sure, who doesn't? However, each woman has her own idea of a perfect man. What might be perfect for one woman may not be perfect for the other. But here's...

ronnalee Also the line about the other guy being weird, having a bad posture and an obsession with sweets! And yes, we both often talk about flaws - how we love strange little quirks or as others might call them 'flaws' about each other. She always calls them my...
