Open Question: What if my brother replaces me? and more... Open Question: What if my brother replaces me?I'm so sorry, I've posted something similar before, but I have a different question concerning it (whereas before I was asking how to keep his love). I just wanted to say this first, I love my brother and want him to be loved, but I gave up having a life (literally, I never go out with friends or talk to them anymore, because I'm so busy trying to keep my dad happy) and my own identity to earn my dad's love so being replaced is upsetting. In my family my mom favors my twin brothers and my dad favors me, then there's my other brother who isn't exactly a favorite but is close to being my mom's (he's always lying about me to my dad though and I'm afraid my dad will want to be friends with him instead of me; he's really different than my dad- he's a drug-dealer and living at home at 25 years old without an actual job (whereas my dad was recruited by the all of the best schools because of his academic record and chose to get a job even though he didn't have to as a teenager)- but he's been trying to impress my dad lately which means soon I'll be replaced). My mom loves my brothers no matter what they do (through the drugs, through them yelling at her, through their girlfriends, through their friends that are also on drugs, and through everything else. Whereas with my dad, it's different. Ever since I was a child I have felt that I needed to be perfect for him. I know who I am on the inside, but outwardly I am exactly who he wants me to be- always smiling, straight 100s, aiming for his Ivy alma mater, never dating (I'm probably just too sensitive, but I was a little hurt when one of my upper classman friends asked me to prom and he went away the weekend of prom), always acting mature but staying a kid at the same time (mature in that I listen to his problems, and that I cook and clean, but a child in that I joke around and kind of look like one- I have an eating disorder and I purposefully try to keep my body from changing (except to become smaller), and a ton of other stuff. The thing is, I do have the same values as my daddy- I'm a perfectionist and hurt myself to handle it when I get even a 99, I love volunteering (and am so thankful to have parents who love it), I love our religion, etc.. I don't mind being exactly who my dad wants because I know he needs to feel loved (so I am in no way complaining about feeling the need to be everything he wants me to be), and because I couldn't handle not being loved by him. I had thought I was recovering form my suicidal thoughts since I had finally kind of accepted that I couldn't go against God, but the thought of losing my dad's love makes me reconsider the idea. It sounds simple, but I can't handle trying to be "perfect," always failing, and knowing one day I'm going to be replaced. When we don't have the things I need to complete something I told him I would (not realizing we don't have the things) I always wind up breaking a bone rather than failing him, because not having the tools makes him upset even though I can't drive so I can't pick them up unless someone else feels like taking me. How can I feel better about being replaced? I feel so guilty and I can't handle it. Thank you for your time. Open Question: I can't tell if this girl likes me or not. Help?Ok, first off, it's about a girl. That I really, really like. Love really. I'm 18 and I know most of you older members will say, I'm too young to be in love, but you're full of -blam!-. Anyway, we've kinda been talkin' for a couple months. We we've wen to movies together, ate together, etc. Never really been dates. Just hanin' out together. Well, the first time me an her went to a movie together, which was about 2 months ago, I asked her out basically. I told her I wanted to get to know her better, etc. After, we ate and we went out seperate ways, she told me she just saw me as a friend right now in a text message. I told her ok and crap, but I asked why she did and she told me she was just too bust with school and work. I can see that as being true, because for about 2 months she hasn't been dating anyone. Last Saturday we went to a local band concert together. It was fun. Four bands played and she thought one of the singers was cute and crap. So, they asked ME if I wanted to go eat with them at Burger King and I said sure why not. She went with and we all ate... problem is she didn't sit next to me... she said all the way acroos the table from me. Ther was like 10 of us there. So, the table was pretty long. So, guys what do I do? Does she like me? I'm so confused and I don't wanna let this girl go!! I love her to death Open Question: My boyfriend refuses to come over?I've been dating my boyfriend for almost 2 years yet he still refuses to come to my house. I go to his house everyday, I am actually there so often I don't see my parents for days sometimes. I've talked to him about it and he's promised to start coming over more often but hasn't. When I remind him near the end of the week that he hasn't spent anytime at my house he gets upset, and when I mention his promise he just ignores me. He claims that my house is boring, yet all we do at his house is watch movies and play video games at his house (we're both university students and have no money). We can easily do both those things here but he refuses to for the oddest reasons. For example, he told his mom he'd be home for dinner, when I suggest coming over after wards he says no because he doesn't want to do the extra driving. My house 5 minutes away from his house. He says there is nothing I can buy or do to my house that would make it more exciting. I don't want to break up with him, but I'm having trouble thinking of ways to solve this problem. Any suggestions? Open Question: What's so wrong with interracial dating/lovers?I don't understand why people have such a problem when black guys go with white girls. I like white guys, and people think that's weird. Why is skin color such a big factor in relationships? It's doesn't matter to me what race you are, but all the guys I end up liking are white. I guess all the black guys i know try to hard to be gangstas. So... tell me why you think race matters to so many people and what kind of guys/girls you like and why. I really wanna see some other opinions. I had this question before but i wanted some more opinions. Open Question: blackberry bold inbox message problem?On my bb bold, it is only showing the messages that i;ve saved from this particular person, and none of my sent messages are shown. I tried to see if it said not to show sent messages, but it doesn't, and it is only showing the messages that I saved from him. The dates are all messed up too. HELP! I've taken the battery out, and put it back in, reset the phone, turned it off and then back on, and nothing is working, =[ Open Question: What should I do about my ex?We dated for almost 2 years and we got pretty serious towards the end. I thought that he was "the one" . But like every realistic couple, we had our fair share of problems. It was mostly y mom. She's psycho, and she didnt like him and never let me see him. And although Im 18 and can move out if i wanted to, I dont have any place to go. His family is really churchy, and doesnt believe that we should live together until we're married. But back to me and him.... He's SO good to me. And we were madly in love. But alot of things started happening since we graduated and he said that it was too hard to continue our relationship because my mom wasn't making anything any easier. He said when he broke up with me that he didnt want to but there was no other option. And when he came to my house to do it, he started crying and he couldnt say it was over. Then he hugged me for a LONG time, very tightly, then he wiped away my tears, and kissed me. Then I asked him if this meant that I would see him tomorrow and he said I cant do this anymore. The next day, he texted me and we talked, and then that's when he told me that it was OVER. And he said that he still wanted to be friends because I was the sweetest girl he's ever known. And the BEST part is, out of the blue, 2 days after we break up, he starts dating my best friend. And now, even though I said that I could get past it, she doesnt want to be friends anymore, and she wont let me and him be friends either. Its been almost 3 months and i am still not over him. I think about him everyday all day long and I dream about him too. What should I do? Should I just let it go? I dont understand, when we were together it was like it was meant to be, but now.....? Im SO confused!!! Please... any advise would help.
