| I agree with you. I know some parents with a teenage aspie kid. The father was relaying a story to me that happened last weekend. Long story short, the family went out for an enjoyable evening. When they got ready to go home, their son threw a fit. They kept telling him to stop and the problem just ... |

| Some of that difference is because you are a man and she is a woman. We precieve things differently. Marketing professionals know all about this and use it to their advantage when trying to sell their products to us. How many times have you watched a show or movie with her and the two of you come aw... |

| I hope this doesn't sound mean or offend you so here it goes. I think you have to choose your battles. It sounds like the two of you have resolved a lot of things. This might be one that you have to let go of for now. Why in the world did the two of you have four kids if neither of you really want t... |

He might be wreastling with something with himself. Maybe giving him his space but letting him know you are still there for him is a good idea. It sound... |

| Hi Zeldapsychology Yes, I agree with you. I feel a sence of scurity when I am with my parents. It is funny to think that way for me now because I am almost 40 and if there was ever some sort of physical confrontation with someone it would be me protecting my parents but with social stuff it is still... |

| The same sort of thing happens to me. I let my mind run wild with the thoughts about a certian person or situation but I always have the anchoring thought in the back of my mind that "remember this is imaginary NOT reality" and you have to be willing to accept that the reality may not play out like ... |

| I was a child of the 70s and have fond memmories of playing with toys. I was very attached to may of them. Although I always made up my own imaginary stories with them. I would do this for hours. I guess what I am saying is that I never played with the playsets the way you see it portrayed on TV com... |

Their kid also comes first for everything -- which is as it should be . I don't have any problem with either of tho... |

| I have outlived both my parents. When you are young you look up to your parents and want them to help and support you. But there comes a time when they look to you for advice and support. That is when you really understand that you are an adult and must step up to the plate. That is when you unders... |

| Pilots will appreciate this one. Bumper sticker on a fast-looking car: SPEED LIMIT BELOW 10,000 FEET IS 250 KNOTS. That's a true FAA rule, at least in the US. But on a car it gets a whole new meaning, doesn't it? I thought it was only to 6000 FT AGL? That's what Rod Machado said on the FSX training... |

I'm not one for looking at people but you look like you are a nice person. My first impression is not "Holly crap what a creepy looking person!"  |

I'm sorry but this sounds disturbing. What do you mean "childlike"? |

| Hi there. I'm pretty new to this too. I have to say that by reading your first paragraph it doesn't sound like much of a relationship and then towards the bottom when you stated that it is work for you to interact with her, that explains the first paragraph. Of course I don't know you or your girlfr... |
