Hey. Im desperate for some good advice. This is a very sensitive subject, and I already feel really horrible and bad about it, and I know Im probably a horrible person, but please try not to post too many mean, negative comments, im looking for advice, not judgment. sorry if this is long. Well, first off, I am married. For about a year or so now. I love my husband, I really do, but I’ve always still been in love with my ex boyfriend from high school. we really loved eachother, and still do I think. I should never have gotton married so young, I know. anyway. well, me and my ex have been having an affair for quite some time now. I dont’ sleep around, I just have all these feelings for him, and having sex is a way to still express them I guess. I miss him alot. and he says he still loves me. anyway. I ended up getting pregnant accidentally, and I had been with my husband and my ex around the same time, so there was no way to know who the father was. I have now had the baby, and me and my ex have done one of those home paternity tests that you mail in. Im waiting for the results right now. I havn’t told my husband, and I really don’t want to. It would hurt him so bad. he’s a great guy and I do love him, he’s like my best friend. I want our marriage to work. but I’ve dug myself a hole now. If the baby is my husbands, then thats good, and we can move on with our lives, and he’ll never have to know. but what if its not his baby, what if its my ex’s. my ex says that if its his, he wants to keep quite about the baby anyway until the child’s older anyway. first off, thats not right to hide that from my husband and my daughter about who her real father is. that would be wrong right. cuz someone told me that I should keep it a secret, at least until my child is older, so I don’t ruin my marriage, hurt my husband. and if It is my ex’s baby, and I tell him, down the road he might decide that he does then want to be apart of the child’s life, and then he will tell everyone and the secret will be out anyway. so I don’t know what to do. If its my husbands, then no one has to know, and no one will get hurt, that would be the best out come. but if its my ex’s, should i not tell him the kids his, or I have to because thats the right thing to do? also, what should I do about my ex. I still love him, but I know that it would never work out between us. we have a very strong physical connection and I do love him, but we don’t have a lot in common, and I just know we wouldn’t be happy actually being in a relationship together. but I love him, and I know I have to stop sleeping with him, but its so hard. and Im sure people would call me all sorts of names for saying that, but I can’t help it. any advice would be appreciated alot, and please not alot of negative feed back please, don’t trash me, I know how these forums are. please don’t judge me unless you’ve been in my shoes. I’ve made alot of mistakes, and I am very sorry. thanks. sorry so long again.
Also, I will choose a best answer for the best advice.

I’ve been married to my wife for 27 years and we have 6 kids together (25, 22, 20 – twins, 16 and 13) and two months we learned that she was pregnant again with our seventh child. She is 45 and me 47. I’ve become more worried about her lately… she seems to be over stressed. I wait on her hand and foot but, I constantly find her in crying fits.

Were roman catholic and don’t believe in birth control (no judgment). I’ll admit it has been tough this time around, I think we both thought we were done with diapers and cribs. I’m worried she may not love the baby? We have the money to care for it. Is there anything I can do to bring her out of this funk? I just want a happy pregnancy and mommy.

All the other kids are supportive, although I think our 25 year old is a little freaked out. Is she just overly worried about the baby? The doctor said there is a higher risk for complications but, so far everything seems normal. I try to ask her what’s wrong and she just says, "nothing" and that its hormones. I want to help more but I’m not a woman.

For a school project, we need to write about the topic:
"He restored order and brought back prosperity." How far do you agree with this judgment of the domestic policies of Napoleon I during the period 1799 to 1815?

Can anyone give me a bit of their opinion about this question? Links and sources will be especially appreciated. Thanks!!!

Here’s the basic plot for the novel I’m writing (It’s about a dysfunctional family):
A middle-class model and a recovering delinquent drug addict with a dysfunctional relationship end up getting married against the woman’s better judgment (it’s cliché, I know…any suggestions?). He beats her sometimes, and he’s such a bad influence on her that she loses her job, so now she can’t leave him, she depends too much on him. They end up having 7 kids. The 3rd has a fatal heart condition that will end her life at a young age (around 15, and it’s because of the drugs the dad took), but they don’t find that out till later, which is why they had more kids. The main part of the novel takes place when the kids are 19, 17, 15 14, 12 and 8. The mom saw sense (although it was too late) and kicked out the dad when he started beating the children too and almost killed the 2nd youngest (the only other girl), and now she is recovering, she has a job as a waitress in a casino.
The kids are coping too, the oldest is finally able to get on with his life now that the mom looks after her kids again, the 17 year old has anger management problems but is getting counseling, the 14 year old twins (who had only each other to rely on for so long) have trouble relating to the rest of the family and are called gay at school but (they insist) it doesn’t bother them (They’re not), the 12 year old girl is called a freak at school for her dysfunctional family but she is defiantly “proud” of being an outcast, and the 8 year old, probably the only normal one among them, has no clue anything is wrong (or ever was). The 15 year old girl is reaching the end of her life. She’s trying to figure out who she really is, and wondering how to break the news to her boyfriend and her best friend.
Then trouble brews. The mom finds a new guy at the casino. At first he seems to be helping her heal, but then it is revealed that he needs cash, and he has been selling the 17 year old drugs to cope with his problem. The 17 year old sometimes can’t control himself and he beats his girlfriend. He’s afraid he’ll turn out just like his father. The 15 year old dumped her boyfriend and started dating his best friend to get him to move on from her, but then the best friend starts falling for her and it turns out he has a lot of valuable philosophies about life and coping with things. He’s a “live in the moment” type guy, and he really helps her find herself. The 12 year old has been being harassed in many ways at school and stalked online by this guy, and she ends up killing herself (or trying to…that’s what I need help with…I was thinking an overdose of her brother’s pills could work, although it might be kind of overkill…) The 19 year old is sucked back into everything just when he was almost able to live his own life, and the twins just try to close their eyes to everything again. How should everything work out in the end? I don’t necessarily think it has to be a depressing read…at least it doesn’t have to end depressing. What do you think? Would you read this? And what should my characters be named?
Also…is it just like alot of other books? What are some ways I could make it more…unique? And how can I make the characters of the youngest brother and the twins more interesting? All of the other characters except them have a big problem they’re dealing with…ideas?! :)
thanks! 10 points to the best answer!

During my last post Christians complained I was judging them by the actions of a few. Or they claimed that ‘those people’ are not true Christians–funny that’s not how ‘those people’ tell it. Yet, Christians pass judgment on gays, Muslims and Jews, etc ad nausem all the time.

The only difference is when someone gay does something stupid…they are ridiculed by they gay community. Religious people greet stupidity with silent approval and allow it to continue in their name.

So if I’m not supposed to judge you on the actions of a few and we really do have freedom of religion, what makes it okay for you to do it to me or an entire community? Why do you feel so righteous when you vote away potential privileges for others?
papaof whatever….I don’t live that far away from dry ridge…don’t make me come up their and smite your pc TRY ANSWERING WITH SOMETHING OTHER THAN CUT & PASTE FOR A CHANGE.
