A.   8 March 2007: Sorry - this is less an answer to your question and more an answer to the previous posters view on abortion. It sounds like you have no problem with being pregnant, just your in-laws, and as everyone has agreed, just ignore them. However... (read in full...)

A.   8 March 2007: Glad he didn't "vanish" as your previous guys have. If this is your second date, then you should just look to enjoy getting to know him a little better. Be supportive and empathetic regarding his loss and listen to him talk about it. J... (read in full...)

A.   7 March 2007: I don't think your reaction is that extreme and I shouldn't worry too much about judging it. Your reaction is your reaction, period. You have decided that you do not want a partner who smokes and that is a perfectly reasonable thing to hold a v... (read in full...)
