I recently talked with a friend about trust issues in relationships. I've been battling trust issues ever since my first boyfriend, back in 2004. He's a great guy in his own right, but in the first year we were together he did so...

talithe Skade, I really hope so. My first long relationship, I thought he was the one. We talked about our wedding date, children's names, etc. When I found out he lied to me about his ex-girlfriend (he said they stopped talking years ago, but they were still hanging...

talithe I feel like a marriage is a big commitment, and one that a couple would not take lightly. But almost all of my friends and family have been there or witnessed a failed marriage due to trust. But I've also seen friends in 8+ year relationships, never married,...

talithe I know there are words and actions you can never take back, so I make sure when I say something (especially accusing) that I am in the right to say so. I'm working hard on my relationship right now (with the same guy I wrote about) because we've been having...

talithe Thank you for your wonderful and supportive comment. (It's been a while since I've visited this website, so I apologize for the delayed response.) I live by your approach as well - to trust someone until I am shown a reason not to. The trouble I find though is...

talithe Wow. You and your husband sure went through a lot to avoid that girl. I admire your perseverance in resolving the issue. I wish you the best and hope some day you'll find peace from that girl. Thank you for the advice!

talithe Thank you for commenting on this issue, kprofgames. The final good bye is always frustrating because after the first time if it is said again, it's obviously not the final good bye. No one really knows how long this will go on or how long the problem has to be...

talithe Thank you for sharing your knowledgeable input, Namaste-Anora. Self defense is a great idea. A lot of what we already know about how to protect ourselves, we don't often take action on until hearing it. Thanks for sharing this option. Joint manipulation and...

talithe I think the best opportunity to get a restraining order would have been the night the abuse happened. If I went through this right now, I'd make sure to file a report for domestic abuse too against the guy. That way it'll be on his record. I appreciate your...

talithe Thank you for the advice. That is a good point to protect yourself early. This may sound silly, but in the online researching I did, protecting yourself early was not one of the things a restraining order seems to support. It left me with the impression, "Once...

talithe Thank you for suggesting the free consultation. I never knew that some lawyers provide that service, and I think that would be most beneficial to speak to one. I agreed with everything you wrote, but I'm hesitant on how I feel about moving to another area. We...

talithe Thank you very much for the helpful advice and information. You made a good point, saying that it is not fair for not only someone to live in fear, but also to those around them. I've seen friends withdraw in fear and isolate themselves from loved ones,...

I have two cats (both 1yr 3 months old) that are sisters. They've never had any health issues and I've never been concerned that they were sick or unhealthy. After a year of giving them kitten food, I gradually changed their food...

talithe Both my cats are strictly indoor. They sometimes play rough but they never seriously attack one another. I'm pretty sure they were pulling their own hair out. The same day I noticed my second cat had a bald spot, I had seen her cleaning that same spot earlier....

talithe My larger cat would clean her stomach until small areas got very pink and minor blood was present. And although I since changed her food, she continues to clean her stomach almost like she enjoys it not having hair. I'm wondering if she developed OCD or if...

talithe No kidding, we ought to protest for the health of our furry loved ones. Some things are just getting out of hand and ridiculous. It's the same for our medication. I worked in a Pharmacy and it's a horrible look on how things are run "behind the curtain" so to...

talithe I'm sorry to hear about your cat passing away, but I'm glad she had a long, full life. I can't believe cat food can be so harmful that a cat has blood in their urine. It sounds like a UTI and that sure is painful. Thanks for sharing this - I'm definitely going...
