However, it&#039;s only temporary, and BC pills have been proven to be a health hazard if taken for long periods of time. On the other hand, breast augmentation surgery is a...

How do I show her I am angry without ending the relationship?<br /><br />Being in any relationship these days is very difficult. You both have to work very hard to maintain harmony between the both of you. However, a long distance relationship can be much more difficult to maintain because people get lonly. The mature response, short of ending the relationship, is to...

Was there any kind of romance between the both of you? If there was, by saying &quot;let&#039;s just be friends&quot; is an indication that he isn&#039;t interested in you anymore. If this is the case, I would not call too often. If you&#039;re still...

He feels no remorse at all, and doesn't even feel bad for hurting me. What can I do to get over the hurt and what he's done to me?<br /><br />First of all, I would like to say that I&#039;m sorry for the pain you have to go through. I know how it feels because somebody once close to me cheated, so I know how difficult it is to cope with. The best thing you can do for yourself is to do something for yourself such as working out or...

My ex wants to get back together but I dont know what to do.<br /><br />I guess it would be fair to say that you don&#039;t waste any time. It sounds as if you are somewhat confused and you don&#039;t really know what you want. If you love somebody, that is a reason to try to make things work. However, a long term relationship is not foreseeable when there are...

However, I would definately say no. If operation Barbarosa didn&#039;t take place, Hitler would have had many more divisions to deploy in western Europe. This would have made the western front impenetrable, and the Allied invasion of Normandy would have been...

Can I still get pregnant? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/105110 My appendix ruptured and I've had two surgeries in my lower abdomen. Can I still get pregnant?<br /><br />There is no reason why a woman cannot get pregnant after an appendectomy. The procedure is minimally invasive. A good surgeon can perform one with a 6 centimeter incision. Newer methods of the surgical procedure, called laporoscopic appendectomies, are very minimally invasive with just 3 small...

It could, however, mean the person may be interested in meeting new people or is just not interested in any relationships at that time. If a person likes somebody very much, that person will do the utmost...

Some of those people who were unfortunate to be in the upper floors of those buidings during that tragic event were so overcome with smoke inhalation and the fear of burning to death that they panicked and chose to escape from the buildings the only way they knew how... Wed, 13 Sep 2006 23:59:17 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/93049 Answer to Why do guys prefer blow jobs over sex? Why do guys like blow jobs so much? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/90224 Why do guys prefer blow jobs over sex? Why do guys like blow jobs so much?<br /><br />First of all, you should understand that a &quot;blow job&quot; is sex. Also know as fellatio, it&#039;s oral copulation of the penis. I don&#039;t believe that men prefer fellatio over intercourse. If a man were given a choice between the two, I think that most men would prefer intercourse....

Do you think there's still sparks for us?<br /><br />Let me make it clear to you. There is always sparks left for a former lover unless the break-up was so traumatizing that it created animosity among each other. If he broke-up with you in the first place, there must be something wrong with the relationship that you both shared. To end a romantic...

Should I wait around even though she could go out with the other guy?<br /><br />You should be a friend to her and nothing more. Don't get attached to her and don't compete with others for her love, or you will find yourself hurting over time. Any relationship this girl gets into would be a rebound. Experiences have shown that rebound relationships never last long.

Should I wait for her to come back? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/68881 My girlfriend left me for someone she works with. Should I wait for her to come back?<br /><br />Definately not! You must have self respect for others to respect you. It's a hard lesson in the realities of life, but you need to get over her and move on. She's not interested in you anymore, and she's proved how unfaithful she is. If she does come back, which is very unlikely, it's probably...

Chances are that if you were to both get back together, you would probably break up again sooner than you think. If she told you that she needs space and would like to go out with other guys, that's a kiss of death to a relationship. Take it as it is - move on and go out...

They broke up and he says he might want to be with me again. I love him, should I take him back or do you think he will leave me again for someone else? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/67594 My ex broke up with me and immediately had a new girlfriend. They broke up and he says he might want to be with me again. I love him, should I take him back or do you think he will leave me again for someone else?<br /><br />If he broke up with you in the first place, it means there is something seriously wrong with the relationship.
