Open Question: What do you think: make or break? and more...

Open Question: What do you think: make or break?

Here's my dilemma. Be ready for a read. I've been dating my boyfriend for over a year now, and I've known him for almost four. Our personalities click on many different levels, and on a day-to-day basis we get along really well. In many ways, we still act like a new couple, telling each other we love each other on a daily basis, flirting stupidly, teasing each other, all that good stuff. I guess you could say that we have a really good relationship, at least on the surface. Our relationship has always been relatively serious. Within a couple weeks, we both knew this was going to be long-term, and after a month we were talking about marriage. Throughout all this, I've been very conscious of the fact that we're still kids, really. (When we started dating, I was a senior in high school and he was a freshman in college. Now we're going to the same university.) While on the one hand I really love him and I think we could probably last, I kind of feel like I never got the chance to be an independent person. Also, I'm a pretty religious person, and he isn't at all. He's offered to come to church with me (I would never pressure him to do that; he did it on his own) but it hasn't happened yet. He also encourages me to talk to him about my beliefs, but I'm scared to. I don't want to push him to believe something he isn't ready to believe, but I don't feel like I can marry someone who doesn't share my beliefs, either. On top of that, he's never had a job, doesn't have a driver's license, and doesn't really pull that great of grades. He's a really intelligent person, but right now he's living off his wealthy parents and doesn't seem to have a lot of motivation to do anything. His friends tell me that when the time comes, he'll do what he has to do. I want to believe them, and feel like I should since they know him better than I do in some respects. Still, it nags at me. I guess my biggest problem is that, while he's a great person to be in a relationship with, and we care about each other a ton, I'm not sure if marrying him would really be a wise choice. This wouldn't be such a big issue if it weren't for the fact that it seems more and more likely as time passes that he's going to propose. I know that, at this point in time, if he were to propose I'd have to say no, but I also –want- to marry him. It's really confusing for me. I guess my real dilemma is, should I stick with him in hopes that our problems will work themselves out, or should I give up and cut loose so we can move on with our lives? I feel like our relationship is almost at the point where we could go skipping down the aisle, but we ourselves are not. Penny (or two points, I guess) for your thoughts?

Open Question: Should I continue nursing school? I feel like I am being singled out because of pregnancy.?

Hey everyone, I will be going into my last semester of nursing school in Jan. to become an RN and I am pregnant. My due date is April 10th 2010 and the last day of class is May 5th. I have a 1 1/2 year old and my husband is in the air force. He is stationed in another state and I could go with him but I am trying to finish school. I have help at home. In June he will be stationed somewhere else (we don't know where yet) but that would be perfect because I would graduate, take the boards and go with him. Now my teachers are telling me they are concerned I will fail the clinical aspect of the program because I shouldn't be lifting patients and I have to sit down occasionally to rest. And by sit I mean after completing a treatment with my patients and standing for 2 hours straight I need to sit for a minute or two, not for an extended period. They told me I need to be "mentally and physically prepared at clinical or I shouldn't be there. I am 22 almost 23 years old, in good health and so far the pregnancy is low risk. I know this is long but I'm wondering if they are being a bit too harsh since I have completed all of my work and have a passing grade or if they are right. I was determined to do this but now i'm second guessing myself since they keep telling me I probably won't make it and I will waste my time and money. If I fail clinically, I can't re enter the program ever but if I left now they told me I could graduate in a year, the problem being I will have two young children and be living in a different state...yea that probably won't happen... so any advice would be wonderful! Thank you. : )

Open Question: How are Hispanic males viewed by Korean women in Korea?

I'm going to be studying abroad in Korea (near Seoul). I'm a very light skinned Hispanic male 6 foot tall, muscular build with almond eyes and light brown hair. I speak perfect English and dress sharply. My father is Mexican and my mother is from Spain. Sometimes I'm sometimes mistaken for being half Asian here in California. I've dated Korean women here in California with out a problem, but I was wondering if it would be hard for me to meet and date Korean women form Korea while in Korea? Does anybody have any good insight on how light skinned Hispanic males are viewed by Korean women in Korea?

Open Question: What to do about my boyfriend's close "female" friend?

My boyfriend and I have been together for 5 years and before we ever started dating he was really good friends with this girl and he says that she is his so called "soulmate". He says all they have done is kissed, this was before we started dating and when we did start dating and they would hang out they would put their arms around eachother and be affectionate towards eachother. She has recently moved away and he hasn't seen her in like 2 years. He recently went on vacation and his layover for his flight was in the same place she is currently living. So he called her up and she came to hang out with him. I guess she is in a new relationship and they are looking to get engaged and my boyfriend jokingly told her that they were supposed to get married. So their relationship has always kind of plagued me and i have confronted him and he says they are just really good friends and can relate on a lot of things. I don't have a problem with him being friends with her but they fact that everytime they see each other he is either out of town or i just so happen to be busy. I know he loves me but sometimes I wonder if he thinks the question "what if?" with her. I also don't want to make a huge deal out of it either because I don't want to come off as a jealous girlfriend and he insists that they are just friends. The thing is too that he seems to be really honest with me about everything like he tells me all these things that they do and stuff, so I dont understand why he would do that unless he just feels like he should to make me feel better about the situation. I don't know. I cant help but feel a little jealous though. Should I be worried?? I don't really know what to do? I have lived with this feeling for sooo long.
