THis morning I took my 4 year old rainbow lorrikeet called CHirpie out of her night cage to put her in her day cage. I usually cut her feathers but she is very tame and says Hello CHirpie. Its mating season here on the mornington peninsula melbourne Australia and I saw her fly into a tree with other rain bow lorikeets. Will she come back, what are some of the tings I can do for Chirpie? I hand raised her since she was a baby 4 years ago. What should I do

thanks
I saved CHirpie when shirpie was kicked out of her nest and the ants were crawling up her legs. Shw was wet and helpless. I raised her and then after I had her 12 months she nearly died again by putting her head in her toy and I just came through the door and saved her. I love Chirpie and Chirpie loved us. She flew with a colony all I wnat to know is will they accept her and not kill her. THere are some people who are very attached to their birds.
thanks DC i am so distraught i dont know what to do. i spoke with peninsula bird world on the mornington peninsula and they said they free fly their tame birds and they come back. i am so shocked i usualy trim some feathers but she use to hate it so i stopped 12 months ago she goes on holidays with us. this bird is tame and speaks and dances you guys dont understand she could be killed she does not know anything about being free.
I am in the Mornington Peninsula in Melbourne Australia and we have a lot of lorikeets here so yes she belongs in this area.

My ex and I broke up around 4 months ago. A few weeks after we broke up we decided me would go out on a date and see how it went, but then I went away for a couple of weeks during the holidays so it never happened. When we tried to organize something else I accidentally stood him up by sleeping in :( We are still close friends but he is now going out with one of my very close friends. I had a new boyfriend but recently broke up with him because I wasn’t over my ex. I still love him and I want him back. I dont think his relationship with my friend will last and some of my friends have told me that he is always talking to me and never her. How can I get his attention? How can I make him want me? Bear in mind that I cannot dress up as I mostly see him at school and we have to wear a uniform. Should I make him jealous?
Please help!

We have been on and off for nearly 3 yrs. Off bc I’m "basically his first gf and he hasn’t met/dated many women." We both are entering our late 20’s. We have broken up twice over the 3 yrs. We both still have feelings for one another but I know he’s not ready for a relationship/marriage, and I am, or atleast he wasn’t. Lately he’s been talking like we’re a family & doesn’t want us to have 2 separate homes & shuffle baby back/forth. Or to see me with some other guy & vise/versa, and doesn’t want baby to have a step-dad or step-mom. How does that work if he doesn’t want us to be together? He was on my computerthe other day, and when I went to use it he left open his yahoo! answers account with all these questions he’d asked about getting back together with me. I swear I did not go looking for it, all of them were already on my screen! It took me a moment to even realize what I was looking at. Point is, he’s asked over and over again whether he should get back together with me, and even before I was pregnant. He asked about marriage, like can you know it’s the right one with out much experience. Lately he’s been wanting to do all these things with me, like family functions, holidays, trading xmas gifts with my parents, and special outtings. I told him recently I don’t want to get back together bc we want 2 different things, and are too different. Meaning I want to settle down and have romance. He said we weren’t too different and were on the same page and that family vacations together sounds really nice. I also said I wanted him to be something he’s not and that’s not fair. I want a guy who’s not affraid to settle down, and have a family etc. Point is since then, I’ve noticed him changing, and now doing those things I had said I wanted. All of a sudden he really cares what my dad thinks of him and wants his approval. I don’t get what’s going on, he’s acting really strange. Finally, he asked me if I wanted to take a road trip with him to this far away place and go cliff jumping…after baby is born. .he had the month and everything. Why would he ask that? What is going on??

Just for the record I want a family unit, and don’t get me wrong if he really did want to get back together I would.

(No lectures please)
fyi.. we did use protection responsibly, just it failed us 8 months ago. So please no lectures

and he wont tell her about you, who are now his new girl friend of 6 months because he’s afraid she’ll get psycho on him and not let him see his daughter who is only 5. How long can one let this go one before it becomes an issue? I cannot meet his daughter so when she’s over at his house after school sometimes during the week or home on the holidays i can’t be around. I know a child is the most precious thing but is it fair that one has such huge limitations and boundaries in a relationship? I wish we could all spend that time together but with the ex and the child not even knowing I exist I feel overwhelmed sometimes. No, I dont think he’s hiding me because he has hope he’s going to get back with his ex. I truly belive it’s all about his daughter. Please note, this is a serious question. So if you young kids could refrain from answering it would be nice as you probably will not be able to relate. I do hope there are grown ups that read this because I need unbiased opinions. Thanks!

Usually I am fairly good at figuring women out, but this one has got me stumped!

I began dating my now ex-girlfriend in December of 2007. In June of 2008 we decided to move her in with me because we were very much in love and we were driving 40 miles 2 or 3 times a week to see one another. She was having a hard time finding a job here in her field and my business was slowing down because of our terrible economy. I decided it was best if we both moved back in with our folks for a couple of months while we both got back on our feet financially, and sometime this spring I was going to buy, or build us a home and she was going to move back here.

I moved her home on the 15th of November 2008. After she moved back home she seemed to slowly distance herself from me. We stayed together through the holidays, my birthday was New Years Eve which we spent together with friends and my family and after that she started acting strange. On the 10th of January she split up with me saying she needed to focus on her daughter, going back to school to become an RN and that I needed to focus on my daughter and my business, and maybe in a few months we could try it again. She also begged me to stay friends with her saying I was her best friend and she didn’t want to lose that.

I read ”the magic of making up” a highly rated book on getting back together, immediately after we split and it basically said to leave her be and she will come back if I don’t pressure her.

The first 4 or 5 weeks we would communicate a few days and then I wouldn’t hear from her, and this went on repeatedly. Finally I decided I couldn’t keep putting my heart through this, so I wrote her a long letter basically telling her I had to stop talking to her because the on again off again communication was killing me inside. I told her how much I cared but I had to walk away and when she wanted me in her life she could get a hold of me.

Two days later I shut off her cell phone because I wasn’t going to keep paying the bill if we were no longer together (I informed her first). She shipped the phone back to me with nothing inside except the phone and charger and I didn’t hear from ehr after that. Two weeks ago she deleted me from her MySpace account but left a few pictures up of us. I didn’t react to it.

I then called her best friends husband a few days later because he is a client of mine and I needed to update some things on his insurance policy. I didn’t mention her name once, I said I was doing well and in one month made a quarter of the income I did in all of last year. I made it sound as if life was wonderful.

The next day she called and I didn’t answer because I didn’t know her new number. She left a very polite message asking if she could meet with me sometime next week to pick up the rest of her things, which is a few kitchen things I know she doesn’t need right away because she lives with her folks, and a massage table that she never even uses. I didn’t call her back. That after noon she texted me, asking if I had recieved her message. I didn’t reply. That night she called again while I was asleep. I waited it out and texted her the following evening and told her I was extremely busy with my new business endeavors and that she would have to get a hold of me in a couple of weeks. I didn’t want her to think I was anxious to see her, and wanted to polietly blow her off like she had previously done me since we split up.

She texted me back and said ”fine. btw, didn’t know I needed to find myself. hey, got my license back today.” I congratulated her and she texted back again trying to make small talk and I responded politely saying ” I am happy for you.” And then we quit texting.

My question is this…..I know she doesn’t need her stuff immediately because it is of no use to her right now, and if it was that important to have right away then she would have made more attempts to get with me right away to accomplish this and probably would have made a big ”to do” about it. And she didn’t.

So since she got a new phone number and I made no attempt to contact her and find out this new number, I often think that may be one reason for deleting me from MySpace, trying to get a reaction out of me. And since I didn’t react to that she had to think of something else, which a good ”excuse” to get in touch with me would be to pick up her things. I also wonder if she would have called had I not talked to her best friends husband and told him how well life was going for me now. I really don’t know what to think.

I wonder if I should start initiating contact with her, or leave it be, and let her contact me again in a week or two for her stuff. And from that point I wonder if I should maybe ask her to lunch and see if I can slowly try to rekindle things, or wait for her to let me know she is missing me still. What are your opinions? And thank you for taking the time to read this. I am lost without her, but want to make sure I take the r

I have been married to my husband 10 years this past Aug. In Nov. of 2008 we were having troubles. Not talking or doing things together anymore. He spent more time away from home than with me because we really were just roommates. I felt unloved and not appreciated. He felt neglected and that I didn’t want to be with him anymore. A family member told me that he saw my husband out at dinner with another woman. ( I later found out this was made up and he never did cheat on me) I moved out a week before Thanksgiving. I moved in with a man I had been talking to for about 3 weeks. He told me how wonderful I was and how he worshiped the ground I walked on. We went for coffee and spent time talking and those things my husband stopped doing. I after moving in he told me to get a divorce after the holidays. He had big plans to go to Florida and live in a year or two and he said how wonderful I was and how he wanted to be with me and even that he loved me. After I moved in things quickly started to change, he told me I should stay home and not spend so much time with mother. I was not allowed to go to the store or off by myself. My cell phone call log and text was to be showed to him every night. All the sudden we were not going out every night. He got home at 4pm I got home at 6pm. I was to cook dinner and then clean up the house. Then was to be in bed by 9pm. We became intimate about 2 weeks after I moved in and while it was new and and a little exciting at first, his constant every night wanting it was not the affectionate loving man he said he was, now it was more of a chore. Luckily I stayed kind of sick for a while so that kept him away. I found out he was a heavy drinker too. This is not what he told me. He began working later and getting called in to work at odd times around middle of Jan. Found out later he was starting to hit on another woman. So in Feb. I came home one night and he was drunk and ended up shoving me.Told him my husband never laid a hand on me and he wasn’t going to start. I left the house and called my husband to pick me up a few blocks from the house. We talked things over and he took me back. He apologized and said we would need to see a councilor and work on us if I wanted to come back, which we did. It has been almost a year now and things are going wonderful. We are talking more, we open up easier and its like we are new friends again. But when we were separated I told him things, Like how I was having a great time over there, this new man was so fun and exciting and we had amazing sex every day 2 or 3 times a day. They were not true but I just wanted to hurt him at the time. In counseling he brought them up and I honestly forgot I really said so much, but he felt hurt. I told him it was not true but he said he still thinks about it. He has never asked me for DETAILS about what happened or what we did. I did tell him about the accident though. While over there one night the condom broke on us and I had to go get the morning after pill. ( I was not using anything because my husband had gotten a vasectomy the year before). I felt he had a right to know about that. And now I wonder if I should ask him if he wants me to disclose everything else that happened or not? I think it may bother him, but I didn’t want to hurt him and we have come so far already I would hate open up old wounds. But I dont want him to think I am hiding anything, which I am not. I know what I did was wrong. We should have gone for counseling before I left. I should not have assumed he had cheated on me. I should not have moved in with another man and had sex with while I was still married. But I wish I could help him know how bad I feel. He loves me more than he should and it scares me how much he cares for me. He never once said a bad word or did anything to me after I left. I just feel so much guilt and hope we finally move past this. Our life is wonderful now and we are both working hard, I just wonder if there is anything more I could do to help?
My husband appoligised for his part of our original problems. We always had communication problems both of us. And they eventually caught up with us. The last few months before I left we either didnt talk or when we did it was a fight. So he would come home, get on the computer or watch tv, or go out to his buddies house for 2 and 3 hours. Our not talking caused me to feel unloved, so when we did not make love he was getting more upset as well. It was a cycle of hurt that never ended. I did not intend to move in with the other man right away, he lived next to my brother and I was suppose to stay with him, but when I left my brother said to go ahead and stay next store. I did not have unprotected sex the condom broke. I could not risk having a baby because of my diabetes, thats why my husband had his vasectomy. I know I was wrong. My husband said everyone deserves a second chance, if they are truelly sorry. He is so wonderful and I just want to help him any way possible.

Well long story short, we used to go out, but she broke up with me the day before we were supposed to go to the movies, she said it was nothing i did or didnt do ( although i think its because it seemed like i only talked to her on msn and stuff more than in real life, but i was sorta scared cause she was the first girlfriend i ever had) she just didnt love me in that way anymore, although i think its just because she didnt get to see me during the holidays. I didnt talk to her for about 9 weeks, but I have recently started to, Can I ever get her to like me in that way again ?

My father has never been denied access to his grandchildren. He’s been invited to all birthdays, holidays, etc, he has babysat, they have visited etc. But he rarely sees them or asks about them except for holidays. This isn’t shocking as he left when I was nine years old and was gone for 10 years. Came back when child support wasn’t expected of him anymore. We’ve never had a problems respecing my kids until now.

Now he has contacted my ex behind my back, set up meetings between my ex and him and the kids and even called my ex instead of me to say he had a present for my son for his bday but never called me who the kids live with. And didn’t even contact me to tll me anything, I find out from my son and my ex!

He has always been manipulative, blaming my mother for HIS abandoning his children, never taking any responsibility. I bit my tongue so my kids at least knew him but now he is up to his drama and games again. There is also a court procedure going on with my ex and myself, but we do get along very well considering (me and my ex).

I confronted him and told him it was manipulative and disloyal and wrong to be doing this behind my back and gave a sob story abut how I keep the kids from him, blantantly bullshitting me to my face. He had the kids overnight one week before contacting my ex! So this is a lie he is using as an excuse for his actions. I have told him, considering all he has done, this is the last straw and I want nothing to do with him.

Am I right to be upset?
My father likes playing games with people..he played me and my sister against each other for years. Now that we get along, this is his new target.

His excuse to me was that I never let him see the kids then admitted the week before he had them overnight! So this is a huge game to him. He expects everything to be handed to him and never make an effort. He pops round for glory visits on holidays and then the kids never hear from him

I will start by saying I never had an affair. What I have been into is gambling and yes lieing to her about it. So she caught me when I was talking to my sports book and told her I wasn’t since it was around Christmas she said she didn’t want to make any decisions before the holidays but she would let me know on January 19 which is when she started school again. So around December 7 we found out our daughter was being molested by a family member and our whole world was turned upside down, and we have been devastated everytime we think about this. So January 19 comes and goes On January 22 we are dealing with this mess and she flat out tells me that if this incident would not of happened she would of asked for a divorce. Now she don’t want to do anything till we have healed. I really am done with gambling of course the football season is over but hopefully by August I won’t want to gamble. Anyway I am hopeing we can put this back together as she claims (sometimes) she stills loves me but everytime she gets mad at me she tells me she wants to leave any tips will be helpful

Just for the record I want a family unit, and if he really did want to get back together I would.

We broke up kind of quickly. We were together for one year and she broke up with me while on a bad vacation for the holidays. She said she was thinking about us and felt the need to be on her own but did not want me out of her life, as if she did not know what she wanted. We have not really talked about the break up in person, but when i went to her house to drop off some of her things i could see she was crying.

Anyway, how long should i wait to try to reconcile? I am afraid to wait too long.

We were ok, if not totally doting in recent years, spent quality time and went away on holidays short trips. My company struggled and my income dropped. I was too proud to involve her, later scared to. about my debts…you pay one to the detriment of another, he who shouts louder usually got sorted 1st. Result being in recent years, about 6, she has had to pay for everything, which she did willingly, but the drip drip conversations with our divorced and separated friends moaning about their Exes and asking if i did this why did she do that, combined with my own failings to deal effectively with my debts and her finding out about them in stages. and my failure to actually say the words "I LOVE YOU" finally came to a head last Christmas. We have tried to sort things out. We went to some sort of councilling at the Church, I cried, then asked why I was crying as she was the one that was hurt….seemed a stupid question to me. I ll leave it there, but as you would expect, there are a lot of other points to raise. What I would like answered is How do I encourage her to love me again. Particularly as within 3 weeks of my sleeping in a local Bedsit she was seeing another guy moved all my clothes out of our wardrobes his clothes haninging in their place and sharing by bed with her, also parking his black Sports car in my garage.

Ok so just to give you a little background on my fiance and me. I an a 24-year-old single child and he is a 25-year-old twin from a large family. We began dating nearly three years ago and engaged in February of this year before he went overseas (hes in the Marine Corps). We were so in love, like no other love I have ever experienced before. He would do anything for me and I would him. Up until this summer.

I have lived in the same boring town my entire life with my parents since the university I chose was only 20 minutes away. I have always had higher expectations of getting out but never had the courage to do so. Well this past summer I went on an internship and was given the opportunity to get out of this close-minded town.

While on internship I met some really awesome friends and was able to experience being myself and having the freedom of being out of my parents house in a little conservative town. All of this excitement went to my head and I don’t make anytime to speak to him while he was in Iraq as I started to freak out about feeling like I was just "finding myself" so how could I be ready to be married in three months. I started freaking out. "Im an only child, how will I share my space with him….while we have been together for three years we haven’t had my opportunity to spend together seeing as we were only together over the holidays and when he would leave for and come back from iraq every year. (That’s right…he deployed 7 months out of every year). Have this long distance relationship was difficult but we make it work. But I freaked out. And I told him when he got back from Iraq in three months we we rent going to get married as we had planned because I didn’t want to spend married life apart for another year while I finished school and he possibly deployed again. I thought it would be a good idea to wait until we were able to spend more than two weeks at a time together to get married.

He took this as my feelings for him had changed which they didn’t at that time. But as I was unable to talk to him as much as he would have liked, and this in turn made him fear the worst and he began questioning me telling me he wanted the old me back. At the time that I was letting the freedom go to my head and prioritized that over him. The resentment went on like this all summer, he was an emotional wreck and so was I. We were communicating poorly and didn’t understand each others needs. (my experiencing freedom and finding myself. and him needed to speak to me just to keep sane and have a connection to the outside of war zones.)

When he came home from Iraq I resented HIM SO MUCH! I did and I admit it. I felt like he was jealous I was finally making other friends besides him. I felt like he was being selfish for wanting to take that away from me. I know now of course that that was not the case. Now I just hate myself for not realizing that my boy needed me and I was the one being selfish the entire time.

Now that he is back and i realized what a b***h I had been. He has been unsure if he can trust me, if I will treat him that way again and I completely understand why it is he feels this way. It makes me cry everytime I think about how awful I was. I know how lucky i am that he can find it in his heart to still love me. But I want him to trust me, I want him to know how much he means to me, I want him to know that I still want to get married. But when I try and talk about thses things he clams up and doesnt want to talk about it. I dont know what to do or say. What should I do? Btw, he is supposed to be moving to florida early next year and the plan was for me to move with him. he tells me he still loves me more any anything and he wants me to move with him as planned as long as I don’t "freak out" again. How do I get him comfortable with opening up and putting this wall down.
If you would like to comment on how "mean" or "childish" I acted you can save yourself the time. I obviously understand the way I acted is completely unacceptable and feel horrible about it. I do not need your comments to realizes this fact! Thanks :) And yes I want to be with him for the way he made me feel for the way we were before I torn his heart out. Not because I feel like I owe it to him or that he is my meal ticket out of the hellish town I live in. I will be receiving my degree in two weeks and will be able to move anywhere and get a job as a nurse. But I WANT to be with him. I love him, even though you wouldn’t believe it by the way i acted this summer. And no, I didn’t cheat on him, nor would I ever!

Ok this is going to be kinda long so please bare with me..

My husband and I have been having problems for awhile. There were somethings he lied about in the past and we were working through them. Then about 3 months ago he started going out every Saterday with his best friend. ( I work 3rd Thurs-Sat) This Friend named Ant I CAN NOT STAND. : )after 7 month of Marriage he asked my husband how many girls he had slept with scens getting married.) Ok Back to the story.

On Dec, 20 my husband stayed the night at this guys house and cut his phone off so at 7am when I got off of work, I drove there and after about 5 min my husband answers the door. I ask if I can come inside he asks why, I tell him I want to see who is there. He tells me that 4 girls stayed the night as well. I got in my car and left I went home and packed a bag for me and our 2 year old ( mind you I am 2 months Pregnat) I go and Get our little girl from his moms house I go to my parents house and turn off my phone. Soooooo We talk say that we are going to go to counseling blah blah blah.

On new years I have to work so I tell him if he really want to save our marriage then not to go out with Ant. Well at 12:01 I call him and guess who he is with…….Ant.. So I tell him I am done there is no saving our marriage if he can’t respest my wishes ( now if there are any guys reading this he can go out with any of his other friends any time he wants it just this one guy)

OK So I am planing to go talk to a lawyer after the holidays but On Jan 3rd-4th I had a miscarrage and lost the baby.( not because of strees The baby only measured 4 weeks when it should have been 9). So I still have not made it to go see a lawyer.

As of now We are doing 50/50 he comes and gets her on Thurs and has her till Sunday or Monday depending on the week. I told him we could only do 50/50 if he stoped going out every weekend and its only been 1 but he stayed home all weekend so far and has not had someone eles watch her.

OK he want to do the seperation ( we are in NC and have to be seperated 1 year before a devorice) But he want to start going to marriage counselin anyway. He swares up and down he did nothing!!! I am leaning too he did but I will never no the truth… I love him he is my best friend. And above all thing he loves our child so even if we do go through with the devorce He will still have her.

Just want to know if anyone has and advice or thoughts on the best way to handle this and please no He cheated kick him to the curb, If you have ever been married you know its not that simple.

Literally i check if my partner was with other gf negative.I check if my partners gay negative.When offer partner intimacy asking to come over or i go over partner said no.My partners 36 self mid 20s both work as professionals.We were long distance few years kept in touch online when used to call me names but on phone or in person partners fine.We are together from start of holidays.What reasons can be there if no other gf or not gay.Therapy didnt work.We want to save marriage & love eachother very much.
