Is he married or not? Am I being way overly suspicious?

Okay, I started interacting with this guy I met online. He seemed nice enough and couldn't wait to see me right away before he left for a 2 week vacation. I couldn't meet him and didn't want to so we've been exchanging emails while he's been away. He told me he was returning the next day, a Saturday, and so I thought he'd want to see me right away.

Well, he didn't email until Monday. So I didn't think anything of it since he said he was starting a new job once he came back. I thought for sure he'd ask me out for this weekend but then he didn't write me back for a couple of days. Then he says he's going away for the 3 day weekend for a wedding. And he's mentioned a couple of times that he responds to my emails while he's on the train.

Lastly he sent me a picture of himself but I think he might be wearing a ring but not sure.

Should I just call him on it, feel it out when I meet him, or just let it go all together? I'm usually not a suspicious person but this guy seems to be inconsistent in many ways.

money etiquette in gift giving

I am a retired airline employee with travel benefits. I allowed a friend to use my benefit and when they asked me how much, I said take it as a gift, however I had forgotten they had their child with them and the cost was double what I was thinking. Later I realized my mistake and emailed my friend; explained what happened and asked for payment of 1 ticket. It was $100. Was that tacky?

what does it mean when a guy who is a distant friend looks at you right into the eyes over 5 min.?

I've know this guy for five years, but only talked to him only a few times a year when there's business to talk or when I run into him. It's only very recently that I run into him more often and every time he talks to me, he looks at me (or stares) right into the eyes - which before this, he never did. What does that mean?

Why do you feel better when you talk about something that is secretly bothering you?

Could it be that certain information is clogging up your mind with pain, and talking or writing about it, releases some of the pain?

Boyfriend wants to get married, but not interested in buying a ring or any kind of special event!?!

This question may have come up before, but I'd like some input - particularly from the guys:

My BF of 2 years (our anniversary is in 2 weeks) has been talking marriage since April. This was always something HE initiated - I'd never mentioned it to him. Over the summer, we've had many conversations where he insists he wants to marry me ASAP (we have some logistical issues re: where to live), and in early July I suggested that maybe we could just go ahead & get engaged and work on the logistics from there. I knew he didn't want to spend huge $ on a diamond ring because they are so way overpriced - and I sort of got the feeling that the whole "ring" thing wasn't something he was excited about, but I gently said that, while I'd be glad to wear any ring he offered, I did and do want a ring. He didn't seem to have a problem with that - we even talked about other options (other stones, diamond simulants, etc.) as an alternative.

Almost 3 weeks ago, during a particularly affectionate time, he put his arms around me and said "I want to be your husband. I want you for my wife". I half-jokingly asked, "Is that a proposal?" to which he replied, "If I had a ring, I'd propose". Then he suddenly stopped me from what I was doing, looked into my eyes and just simply said, "Marry me." And I said yes, of course. And we agreed that this was "real", but also that it wasn't completely official until he gives me a ring. OK.so why, then, does he yesterday (after being all of a sudden in a terrible mood for the past week) suddenly tell me that I'm not getting a ring right now, and he might not get me one at all (engagement ring - he has no problem with a wedding band). I was floored and found myself having to justify why I wanted a ring, which made me feel awful (remember, I had made clear I wasn't looking for a big expensive rock). He cited the fact that we've both been married before (yes, his first wife got a ring) and really, if he had his way, we'd just take an afternoon, go to City Hall and get married - done. He's completely indifferent to what he calls the "fluff", but seemed to at least accept that, while I am very pragmatic, I would like at least a little of it. He went on to say that he just doesn't know what my expectations are (he balked at the idea of spending $ on a honeymoon too - I'd be happy if we just had a long weekend away somewhere, or if we made my planned trip to Disney with my son the "honeymoon") and that it should be us getting married that matters.

Of course, in principle, he's right about that last part, but am I crazy for being hurt and feeling like I've been hit by a truck at what is all of a sudden a very blasé attitude toward the whole thing? Bizarrely, the one thing he's adamant he DOES want to do is actually get married, so it's apparently not that he has cold feet or is just telling me things to keep me around with no real desire to actually wed. My emotions are pretty messed up right now and I just don't know what to think, or feel.

Why is this woman always wearing a tight blouse, unbuttoned to show her cleavage?

I work with a woman that ALWAYS wears some fashion of a white blouse that fits snug and with out falter she wears the top buttons undone which puts her cleavage and sometimes the top of her bra in plain view.
She is an good looking woman all around and its very difficult to not look. I try to be professional and not look, but I'm a guy, I like looking at tits.

Is she fishing for comments?
Does she get off on the attention?

End of the relationship.

Hi
I've been in a relationship for nearly 4 years with my Fiancee.
It's not always been easy,when I met her she was seperated with 2 young kids.
I found this quite stressful at times,and the fact her ex husband and a recent ex boyfriend were still on the scene also troubled me.
However we grew close initially and life was pretty good - I'd moved in and made the best of my new role,trying my best for all and taking on her children
Fast forward a few years and she became pregnant and we had a beautiful baby girl last year.
This was where things changed - she was diagnosed with severe post natel and took medication for 2 days before giving up saying it made her sick.
It's steadily got worse to the point my life has been deteriorating with her,I've become a house mate more than anything else,we have no sex life nor are we close.She only seems interested in the lives of her children and constantly seeks compliments and love you's from them.
We now have constant arguements and we just paper over the cracks and carry on.
Im there paying all the bills and running around taking kids to school nursery in the morning as she works early....My money is fast running out
I just feel abused mentally and taken advantage of.
Now we have both come to the conclusion after latest fight that it's best that I move out this weekend.
she says things like 'im so crap at being a partner,it's happening again to me - men always leave me' she's also jealous at my relationship with my daughter and after I play with her says 'do you still love mummy' 'feels like I've not seen you all day'
She also wont let me pick her up out of bed in morning nor put her to bed and even recently bath's her on her own.....
I know I'm better off leaving but Im confused and will miss my daughter - I feel like I have failed her but there is no love in the relationship with her mum
Please help me
