One of the Waterfall Canyons here in Utah, actually did a 2 1/2 hour hike tonight and didn't go far enough to see the waterfall, lol!

My son is 5 and been raising him alone since he was born. His sperm donar is a piece of crap that is sitting in jail- I have no intention of letting him back in my son's life (he hasn't seen him in over 3 years anyway)!!

The only advice anyone can give you is just to love your child - be there for him/her - You are mom and dad. Your child will look at you as their best friend. You will hug your child, kiss their boo boos, teach him/her to go potty, take them to school, teach them manners, teach them about the world around them...you will be doing everything. But it's fun and best of all, you get all their love :P

Single is nice, no responsibilities, no worries and most of all no heartbreak!

That was a wonderful movie and a great love story. At the end, it is sad..

I'm new to online dating as well :) Hope you find what you're looking for!

I too let him go.

Short story about lowering standards:

When I lived with my ex he had a friend who had been off and on with an alcoholic/crackhead for 3 years. Now this friend of his did not drink, do drugs, was in college, had her own house. He treated her like crap and she took it and in the end, she ended up pregnant by him, she wanted him to change, he refused, he got his own place, met someone new and now she's left alone to raise this baby she'll be having later this year.

You lower your standards - you risk your life, especially when it comes to drug addicts. Unless of course, you lower your standards for "looks"...then I suppose, as long as they make you happy, then its ok to lower standards. :)

those points are absolutely right. Doing any of those is guranteed to make the relationship worse.

Well, there's your Big Media. But - to not run an AD because of false lies is appropriate, that shouldn't be run at all, rather, belongs on youtube. lol.

If it was telling the truth about Obama's plan for healthcare (which will not go into effect anyway) then it would be great to show it on major stations - definitely for pulicity and getting people inolved to interest groups and lobbying to make it happen.

Too bad everyone always wants to destroy someone else's dreams.

You are absolutely right! Everyone has turned "materialistic" and one thing is never enough. They always have to have more.

Sometimes I wonder what it might be like if we were the ones living in poverty or we actually lived when we had to farm and actually had to accept what was given to us and NOTHING MORE.

Love and long lasting marriages is a personal preference, it doesn't mean anyone is shallow. I have a 5 year old son and I've learned that by trying to make a family man out of a guy is a very hard thing to do. So my son and I are a family and if the day ever comes that there is a man willing to step up to the plate and be a family with us then that will be great. Until then, love and marriage don't appeal to me. I'd rather be in the mountains then be married. Although, freedom appeals to me more than being tied down.

They should? So what else "should" women do? C'mon stereotype all the women....huh. Typical guy.

Jealousy has to do with trust, if you are jealous then you don't trust your partner. It has nothing to do with being emotional, having more estrogen or raging hormones.

Here's the Cycle -

Good Relationship > Good relationship goes sour > Unhappiness sets in > Jealousy Begins > Trust is gone > Relationship gets worse > No more hope for trust > Relationship is over

Now if you aren't even in a relationship and looking to date but you find yourself jealous over your "date" from the beginning - then you have serious trust issues, which means somewhere in your past either the way you grew up or the people you were with, royally ****** you up - then that trust is gone. You no longer have the capability to trust - so that turns into unconcious anger and hate, which turns into jealousy.

Not all people are the same. Not everyone is jealous.

lol

It's not about being Jealous, it's about feeling loved, wanted and that the man we're with wants no one but us. If we feel unloved, not wanted and the man does nothing but complain about us,then hurt and anger sets in-so we, women, begin to resent the relationship and start to hope that the man will turn into the man we want (but deep down inside we know it won't happen). So - we then start to act funny - which the man doesn't see as "unhapiness" but as the woman just trying to be jealous and control him.

That also works the other way around for men being jealous. Just to put it this way, if you want everyone else but the person you're with, do them the favor and leave them before things get out of control.
