  1. I've been eating healthier and exersizing alot more but I'm not loosing any weight.
  2. Thank you for the advice. I tried to talk to him about it and he said he will make more of an effort. It just seems like when I talk he just shuts down. Or maybe men are just like that and he is really listening.
  3. My post was too long so here's the second part. Stupid 1,000 character limit.

    Just make it clear that you don't mind him hanging out with friends some evenings, you just want to know if he isn't going to be coming home until quite late.

    And I'd say also to realize that he might not change the behaviour overnight. It might take a few weeks or maybe even a month or two of reminding when he does it for him to stop doing it completely, but hopefully if it's clear to him that it upsets you when he does that he'll get the message and start calling more often. So start with just talking with him about it and saying that all you want is for him to let you know when he'll be out late. Remind him if he does it again, see if he improves and go from there. Odds are if he realizes it really upset you he will make the effort since a simple phone call isn't asking for too much.
  4. Speaking as a man who has been on the receiving end of a wife who was upset at his staying out late without calling on more than one occasion, I'd say the best way to make him understand is to simply tell him. Make it clear to him that you feel you guys aren't getting as much quality time between work and school and that him not telling you he was going to be out late playing poker bothered you. Granted, I'm assuming it was the not telling you that bothered you more than simply being out late. Just make it clear to him that you'd appreciate him letting you know when he's going to be out late. I'd also say that as long as he isn't spending too much time out with friends at the expense of spending time with you that you make it clear to him that it was just the not calling that bothered you, not the fact that he was out unless I'm completely misreading you here.
  5. Something happened with my boyfriend last nigh and I'll try to make this as short as possible.
    He works during the day, I leave before he gets back to go to school at night. Our time together has become very limited. Last night, he came home at midnight and woke me up because he was playing poker. He didn't even bother to call to let me know that he would be late. PLUS I just got back from my trip Monday. I tried talking to him and he said he was taking me seriously, but I didn't feel he was. Basically, I was very much insulted. I don't know how to make him realize that this is not acceptable behavior and I won't put up with it again or make him realize that what he did was very insulting to me.
  6. Not sure I'd accuse me of being wiser or more mature than anyone. I still get up in the morning and watch the Real Ghostbusters in my underwear. But what did you need advice on?
  7. Can you give me some serious advice considering you are obviously wiser and more mature than I?
  8. I did a project on Moncton in 9th grade and have wanted to go there ever since.

    Ottawa sucks. I heard people fly from BC to visit parliament and I can't understand why. Then again, I see it quite often so maybe I'm immune to it.
  9. I like it. I've lived and been all over the maritimes and I'd say Fredericton (where I am now and for most of the last 14 years) is easily my favourite. Large enough that there's plenty to do but still filled with greenery and plenty of woods all around it. New Brunswick in general is quite beautiful though with the exception of Saint John. They really managed to ugly that place up.

    Haven't been to Ontario in over ten years though. And when I went it was to Toronto and Ottawa and being too young to drive I don't really remember too much other than both places were crowded and didn't appeal to me. I'd like to go back someday and see more of the smaller towns and countryside though. It sucks to live in a really small place, but visiting them can be pretty cool a lot of the time.
  10. I've heard it's nice there.
    I live in a crappy little town about 45 minutes east of downtown Ottawa, Ontario
