It sounds like something to do with blood frightened you when you were a child and you haven't come to terms with it. Talk to a parent or sibling to see if there was such an incident.

It&#039;s more likely to be about the time you want to spend together, about one partner feeling neglected/rejected, about communication. There is no set time because it depends on the people involved, their circumstances,...

It probably helps to have some idea of what Australians are like, and it is a very British type of humour (although he&#039;s American or Canadian, I can&#039;t remember which).

I don&#039;t think the reason for naked pictures has to be sexual, it could be educational and just natural for someone of the same sex to see.

When I was very small, we helped with lots of things but weren&#039;t asked to do specific, regular chores, just whatever needed doing at the time. From the age of 13, we all worked for my father&#039;s...

I mean the creator of underwear had something in mind when he made 'em, didnt he? And what'll happen if I never wear 'em? Oh btw, did men start wearing underwear first or was it women?<br /><br />I heard an interview on the radio the other day about the history of bras, which are apparently, and I quote, &quot;an amazing feat of engineering&quot;. So maybe that aspect was to keep engineers employed.

Or do you not get along with your own brothers and sisters? Otherwise it is probably just that you have good friends who you really relate to - nothing strange about that.

Instead she moans about the dust, should I hit her with a sledgehammer?<br /><br />No. Sit down with her and explain how her complaining about the dust makes you feel after the effort you&#039;ve put in. And see if there is something else bothering her. (Which may well be the case).

It seems its human nature to defend oneself from criticism, accusations, or exploited faults.<br /><br />Is it better to lie and just agree to keep the peace? Not if you want a good, secure relationship. Women are notoriously quick to see an untruth - whether said with &quot;good intentions&quot; or not. Most people, women in particular, want to be heard, want to explain what they feel and think...

Either way, you can always offer support - whether it is personal or arranging help for them. I come from a large family and we always email each other if someone is ill or has some problem that...

I hug my children every day. It is even more poignant at the moment because one of my children will leave home for university next year and another child has just experienced the trauma of schoolmates being killed in a car crash. You just...

What does that say about a relationship?<br /><br />Of course the future isn&#039;t promised - no-one can predict what will happen nor can make it happen through sheer will. Achieving a goal takes hard work and determination. The point is, if you SEE a future with someone, you work together toward that end. If you don&#039;t, you won&#039;t be...

In the 21st century, when most women work, and can cope with most of the requirements of modern living, or can hire someone else to do it, there&#039;s no real reason to stay in a loveless marriage except loneliness or low...

My mother made the tastiest chicken soup ever and we always had it when we were sick in the winter. So I guess I associate it with love, warmth, and getting lots of attention!

If it&#039;s an object I&#039;m mad at (tripped over it, or it stops working, that kind of thing) I do a lot of swearing. 2. If it&#039;s a person I&#039;m annoyed with, I wait till they leave and then try step one. Step two is to talk about it. 3. In the rare case of it being an object...

People are multi-faceted with a myriad of different beliefs, opinions and attitudes; no two people see the world in the same way. Our community is a many-sided polygon, not a triangle.

If he needs to see your genitals, rectum, breasts are you shy about it or are you OK with showing him those parts?<br /><br />I am sometimes but I changed doctors until I found one I was comfortable with. He&#039;s very professional and I find it easy to tell him what the problem is, which is the main thing I guess.

This just happened in my life. I feel very betrayed by both of them. My youngest son, age 11, lives with them since my deployment with the Army in 2004.<br /><br />I can&#039;t say as I would be honestly comfortable with this simply because it is a slightly odd situation for the children involved. But three years is a long time to harbour bad feelings - it really is time to put the past behind you as well as you can and move on. Provided your son is well...

What are your initial thoughts?<br /><br />I thought it was premature. Nobel prizes, as far as I&#039;m aware, are awarded for achievements, sometimes for work done over an entire lifetime. His achievements as president may show promise but there are yet to be concrete results. I presume awarding the NPP was more or less a public...

Pay a bill, keep an appointment, do something that someone is counting on you to accomplish? We live by the calendar and still I get this feeling . Do you?<br /><br />Pretty much constantly and it&#039;s getting worse as I get older.

There&#039;s no shame in that. You cry because you&#039;re hurt, whether the person at fault was an asshole or not. But it&#039;s only after you let go of a bit of the pain that the real healing begins.

My house is reasonably clean but I&#039;m not fanatical about it. Every now and then I go on a cleaning buzz and give it a fright but generally speaking I think there are more important things to do. I hate mess only... Tue, 06 Oct 2009 22:48:28 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/7926977 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/7926905 I am going to a beach wedding next weekend, and I am plus size. Would a nice pair of dress pants and a cute top be okay?<br /><br />A setting like a beach suggests the wedding couple want a casual, relaxed atmosphere and really formal clothing would probably look out of place. My nephew in Australia had a beach wedding and everyone wore informal, summery clothes that were comfortable and colourful. I think the outfit...

If you could do it all over again, would you still have children and how many?<br /><br />Yes I definitely would.

He always asks me to leave him alone for a few hours, but then I'm upset and worried. What can I do?<br /><br />So long as he does finally discuss the issues with you, this seems fair enough to me, in fact quite promising. He knows himself and his reactions, and he obviously doesn&#039;t like having to react &quot;on the spot&quot;. Respect it and if you need to let your feelings out, write them down or...

I&#039;ve learnt to pace myself though, cos now I have a daughter who does the same thing...

How do you respond to sales pitches that try to make you feel guilty?<br /><br />If I thought she was genuinely hardworking, I would say something like &quot;I admire your perseverence, this probably isn&#039;t the easiest job to do..&quot; and then either buy the cleaning product if I wanted it or refuse it, adding&quot; but unfortunately I can&#039;t afford it at the...
