Things will change drastically when you'll move together. Remember there is only room for one man to be head of his household, and only one woman can control the man who is the head of the household.

He's not controlling cause he never stopped me from being around my family but if my family has any functions he wouldn't want to go or if they come over he would just stay in the bedroom or go outside....

I'm not really 100% family person but when they have functions i will go or go visit my parents like one day on the weekends or something and i have a twin brother so sometimes he will have dinners over his house and i would go but he would always say he doesn't feel comfortable being around my fam...

A little background: I kinda blame myself because my fam is kinda snottie....my mother thinks if you are not a doctor, lawyer, or haitian, you are nothing...so i just told my husband that my mom is like that but when she does finally get to know you she is a very cool, nice person....and my brother could act pretty snottie too...like he's sh*t don't stink...so i just pre-warning him just in case they do act a way...and pretty much too that our whole marriage thing was a secret until he came up here so i was like they might feel a way about that too....

So he has this in his heart and won't even give them a chance...I tell him that my fam is so over the whole marriage thing especially since now that i am pregnant that he just need to be more social when they are around...I'm not asking him to call or go over the house but when they are around just act a little more sociable....he will say hi but that is about it and will then leave the room...



I just want him to give them a chance... sad.gif

Had to reply to this one…..

I can understand how your hubby might be feeling but mine comes from other end. He tried to fit in and become a part of the family but my mom didn't like Dwayne even before he got here. He thought he'd be able to win her over once he came. He tried to be polite, calling her mom, and asking how she is doing and what not.

Even when they first met, I thought she liked him (he did the yard work, fixed the porch, and cooked fish – which he burned caused he didn't know how to use the electric stove) She told my sis a totally different story of all the things he did wrong and that he was the ugliest man she'd ever seen.

Then every time I tried to get us all to spend time together, she'd go ballistic - didn't want me bringing him around and so forth. She'd say, "can't I just spend time with my daughter without him coming – DA$$!" I told him all the stuff she had to say (which I shouldn't have) because then he became so afraid and refused to go around my family because he knew he wasn't welcomed. It really put me in an uncomfortable position too because I was trying to please everyone and I felt I needed to downplay my happiness as to not rub it in her face. I changed too and started seeing all the bad and hammering it into him on every turn.

If I were your hubby I might want to put the brakes on too if the family is treating him like he's less than..like my mom did Dwayne…Ask your family how she'd feel if she came to a different country and didn't know anyone and was treated this way (didn't work for me but hey it might if your family is normal)




Wakey, I don't know your mother, but is seemds to me she is a controlling type of person. For so long, you probably have been there for her, and did alots of things for her. Nothing less than what a good decent daughter would do, but she didn't want to let go. It probably wouldn't have matter if it was D, or someone else from right here at home. Her actions may have been the same. One of the things we forget is that when we marry, in the eyes of GOD, our spouses are our new family and they should be considered first.



Wow. Interesting point of view. I'd never turn my back on my kids, parents, or my grandparents for anyone.


Jomo, I don't think making decisions that others don't agree with as turning your back on them. But, I can guarantee you, if your parents were married that your mother honored your father, before she honored her kids.

Yes she is very controlling..We just had a big fight last night about this.

When Dwayne was coming she told me she wanted to go window shopping and I said well just go and you might see something you like. She replied that she couldn't go without me. I told her she was going to have to break out of this and what was she going to do when I got married. She told me I wasn't married yet and don't go putting all my eggs in one basket cause when Dwayne gets here and meets me he will find out he doesn't even like me. She throws words like knives.

sorry for taking over the thread with my mess but I'm very very weepy today. My heart hurts..




Wakey, your mother does this because she knows she can get to you this way. You have to decide how much of your life do you want her to controll. Now, she has done a wonderful job in raising you, because look at the beautiful woman you have become. Now, it time for everyone to let go, and to let you live your life the way you waant to. So what if you make mistakes, that's why the word 2nd chance is in the dictionary. DO WHAT YOU WANT, NOT WHAT OTHERS THINK YOU SHOULD DO.

LOVE who you want, forgive who you wish, GOD has given you the strength to do both, so use what has been trusted to you wisely, and live your life for you.

DADA, maybe your son feels this way, because you have given him the impression that you will need him to survive. Look at your self thru his eyes and try to see what impressions you are given off to him.

Remember he lives in the same outside world that you do, he hears and sees the same things you do. He hear the neagative comments that others maybe saying. He wants to protect you, the same way he sees that you have protected and provided for him.

You don't want to push him away to say you don't need him, you want to show him that you will be okay, if he leaves. That you will be protected even if he is not under your/his roof.

My 2cents.

I will put myself out here, by saying this, who cares why or how someone's relationship failed. Relationships are failing every day.... Be it for a CGs, baby mama drama, baby daddy drama or friend’s drama...etc. I feel that we are all adults on this site and if anyone of us decides to sleep with a dog, we were probably quite aware that he was a dog before we got bitten.

NO, but keep your GPS system.... BW Parkway is a parkway that travels east to west .... the old north road to BLT, before the 295 and 95 was built. You could only travel 301 or BWI , before 295 and 95...

Okay. My speech on Tuesday was on the Interstate system. Do you mean I-495 or Highway 495? If you mean I-495, I can tell from the name that this is some sort of circumferential highway that runs around or alongside I-95. And since I-95 is odd numbered, I know that it runs north/south. Since it is a high number, I know it runs up the east coast. Am I right?

I-495 runs around 95 in DC.



Sorry Nat...I neva saw this response.

Ur right!!! good.gif Interstate 495...





WRONG


295 runs around DC/VA/MD..... 495 goes from south to North...it is only 495 between va thru MD, then it turns back into 95.... 95 runs from South to North.....


You're joking right?


295 runs North and South...from Baltimore...down to Dc past DC.

495 is the BELTWAY....ummm and it goes around the DC/VA/MD area. Check out the map.

I think you got them backwards.



No you got it backward.....

295 is the loop around dc...from dc/md


495 id the outer beltway...it is only 495 betwwen va/dc/md, once it leaves md it is 95....

do you want to bet on this one....


295 is a loop/circle

get on 295 and it will take you in a complete circle around the inner loop of dc/va/md


Get on 495 in VA/it crosses the woodrow wilson bridge pass dc into md... after md it becomes 95...

it is 95 in Va/NC/SC/FLA


Yeah...but back to Nat's point of being a circumferential highway which runs around or alongside ....therefore both 295 and 495 applies to her point.


Which as you note above my answer said that she was right about I-495.

Done..Thanks..

Philly, because when the traffic person is talking about traffic in the morning and he is stating inner and outer loop, most people here in the area MD/DC/VA have no idea what beltway he is talking about.

Most people in this area doesn't even know that the 495 turns into 95...,That's why we have the worst rush hour traffic because people in this area doesn't know what beltways they are on.

Okay. My speech on Tuesday was on the Interstate system. Do you mean I-495 or Highway 495? If you mean I-495, I can tell from the name that this is some sort of circumferential highway that runs around or alongside I-95. And since I-95 is odd numbered, I know that it runs north/south. Since it is a high number, I know it runs up the east coast. Am I right?

I-495 runs around 95 in DC.



Sorry Nat...I neva saw this response.

Ur right!!! good.gif Interstate 495...





WRONG


295 runs around DC/VA/MD..... 495 goes from south to North...it is only 495 between va thru MD, then it turns back into 95.... 95 runs from South to North.....


You're joking right?


295 runs North and South...from Baltimore...down to Dc past DC.

495 is the BELTWAY....ummm and it goes around the DC/VA/MD area. Check out the map.

I think you got them backwards.



No you got it backward.....

295 is the loop around dc...from dc/md


495 id the outer beltway...it is only 495 betwwen va/dc/md, once it leaves md it is 95....

do you want to bet on this one....


295 is a loop/circle

get on 295 and it will take you in a complete circle around the inner loop of dc/va/md


Get on 495 in VA/it crosses the woodrow wilson bridge pass dc into md... after md it becomes 95...

it is 95 in Va/NC/SC/FLA

Kimmy, in my research on the JA GSAT, I see that there are many organizations that offer some type of scholarship aid to students who does well on the GSAT. But it's the goal for our organization (OPEN ARMS TO JAMAICA) to aid the children, so they can have the opportunity to be prepare to do well on the GSAT when it is given to them in the sixth grade. By offering some type of financial assistant to a child in the 4th grade that will help aid them to stay and come to school on a daily basis will give us a great sense of accomplishment. We will be able to rejoice when that child whom we assit have scored well on the GSAT and gets accepted into one of these prestigeous HIGH SCHOOLS.

GO OPEN ARMS TO JAMAICA

I didn't know about a paper. Can anyone tell me where to look if there is a paper he needs. Or if he just needs to go in and pay the $131? Thanks! Off-Topic2.gif
