Text her about the party tonight

I'm still in school and when I'm finished I'll need stability in my career. Also, I'm in no rush. By the grace of God, these few years will pale to the many to come.

It don't take all day to recognize sunshine

It couldn't be me. When God created me, it was decided that I would be smarter than pretty, so as subside the jealousy.

There's obviously communication issues on both sides if your fiancee is lying and you are lashing out in anger.

1. When you two are not fighting, sit down an come up with a plan for the best way to communicate negative feelings. One way is to use numbers e.g. Babe, my anger is at a 7 right now. If you have a plan for what you will and will not do when angry, you set boundaries to keep yourself in check.

2. Leave the room for a while and be alone until you are more level, then come back for the conversation. The conversation can wait until you are ready to handle it. Speaking in rage leads to hurt feelings.

3. Take time to figure out what you are upset about. Is it really something she's doing? Did something else bother you at work and you are taking it out on her? Is this a habit of hers? Knowing why you are anger will help you to communicate it without yelling. I am upset because. . .

4. Communicating is listening. So when you are angry, instead of speaking first, make your fiancee explain and listen actively. Re-explain things she says back to her so she can confirm you understand what she's saying. It will ensure that you are not jumping to conclusions.

The reasons why you feel lied to and the trust issues are a thread in themselves. You'll carry around hostility if the problems are never solved. Working as a team to solve the problems will add value to the relationship.

Anger will follow you to any relationship at home, at school, at work. . . It can be detrimental to your health. Try drinking tea, working out, listening to calm music, playing video games, and even sleeping more to make you a more calm person overall.

5 years is my limit

Ask him for money to catch the bus

I feel like this list applies to single women. Once you have a man, you stop listing all the other things you've got.

STOP!!!! It's just bad.

He obviously was not a man worthy of her love or her womb. May God keep her and the children.

This one guys sent my flowers to wish my luck on my finals. I thought it was sweet because it wasn't your standard Valentine or Birthday gift.

Another time, a guy put post-it notes of different reasons why he liked my all over my room.

Broke and in love: Took a 15 hour bus trip to visit me because the flight was too expensive

Though working in someone's how is a very intimate job, it is still a job. I wouldn't want to muddle the relationship by dining with the maid as if she were family. In some houses the maid is family, but if she's just a hired worker I wouldn't want her engaging in personal mealtime discussions with my family. For Holidays, yes, I would expect her to commune with us if she is around. Also, consider a meal to be personal time for the maid to relax and be away from her employers. I don't like being around my boss when I eat. I like to relax and eat in peace.

It is acceptable and natural to tend to babies in the House of God. Societal decency may call for the woman to cover herself with a blanket or cloth out of respect, but she shouldn't be turned out of the sanctuary.

If you are asking this question, you are considering taking her back. Yes, sometimes people change and learn the error of their ways, but this doesn't sound like one of those times. It sounds like she's playing with your emotions and trying to keep her options open. She lied to you when you broke up and she completely disregarded your feelings. Now, she wants your attention again, maybe to satisfy her vanity. There are too many people in the world looking for something real to worry about someone so selfish who doesn't have her priorities straight.

I hurt someone and caused that person to be very angry with me. What's the best way to apologize and make amends?

Who would want a man who is not confident?

Lack of confidence affects performance in the bedroom and the boardroom...

If a woman approaches a guy and does all of the early work, he'll take advantage. Men don't appreciate anything that they don't work for.

my 2 cents

Clearly we're throwing the term "virgin" around theoretically...

I'm too clumsy for tattoos. I have enough scars and bruises on my own without paying someone to mark my body up. I don't do piercings or tattoos.

For during the day touch ups up can clean your face off with a little astringent (like witch hazel) and a cotton ball, but remember to follow up with an oil-free daily moisturizer with SPF for sun protection. Also, drink much more water.

It would make sense to me to tell your mother first and show her the evidence (a mother will usually believe and help her own child), use your mother to help you tell your aunt, and you and your aunt can get revenge together however you see fit. I'm not opposed to running his pockets and stringing him along as long as the aunt is in on it.

I would go to a nice lounge for a slightly older crowd where I could sit, listen to music, and talk to my girls. Not some wild ratchet party where a fight may break out and the people are trashy...

The main problem most black women face with growth is breakage. our hair does grow, but we have a hard time retaining new length. Moisture plays a large role in stopping breakage. Also, what kind of tools are you using on your hair? How tight are the braids or weave? How long do you keep them in? If you create a routine where your hair can stay clean, get moisture, and rest from the stress of tension, then you'll have better results.

A wide tooth comb, a paddle brush, and detangling your hair while wet is a great retention start. Most hair braiders and people who do weaves don't know how to handle or care for natural hair so they rip your hair out to do the style. Make them STOP. Stop using those tiny combs and cutting out knots...You should take time and care to detangle your own hair and use your own products before walking into a shop or getting someone to braid it. Make sure it's not too tight. Don't keep them in too long. Once the style is done, let the hair rest for a week or two and do a good deep condition.

While excessive heat can be damaging, getting your hair straighten every once and a while can give you versatility and let your hair rest between braids. Avoid tight pony tails and pony tail holders. Also, wearing a wig may be a more hair friendly alternative to a weave, because you can let your hair breathe at night and wash it properly.

Part of the problem is that this is new for you and society hates black hair. There were days I thought about going back, but remember your hair is beautiful and it just needs care. If you look online there are tons of examples of styles, accessories, and products that can show you how beautiful your hair is. I became natural before the trend hit the states and people in school ridiculed me, those same people all have natural hair now and love it. Every one of those girls that couldn't understand me at the time, now gets it. Family and friends will criticize and try to be helpful, but know that there's a whole community around the world of women who love their own hair.

Hairstyles I rock:
Two strand twist
Bantu knots
Flexirod set
Cornrows with or without extensions
Flat twists
Afro with a colorful headband
simple bun with or without addition
