# 9 Maybe meeting your mate online is not ideal but relationships can work. I met my boyfriend of four years on Myspace. Though things have not always been great, we still love each other with all of our hearts.

#11 Well, that's kind of terrible…If that's what he's always dreamed of, why wouldn't you tell him?

I thought that too. Clearly, I don't know the situation around this secret, but why would you not tell the father of your child that he's a father? One night stand, messy break-up, divorce… doesn't matter. I don't see a reason to NOT tell the man he's a father.

Well, she said she "would" call when she got her period. By her not calling him, she essentially "told" him she never had her period. If he was really concerned he should have called. If he doesn't care enough to call why would she? Oh the mysteries of human communication….I agree with TiaP, I don't know all the circumstances behind the situation, but I would think not calling is hurtful to both the daughter and father. The mother may think she is protecting the daughter, but what if it backfires and then in turn makes her daughter resent her in the long term. Seem like a risky decision to me, but very interesting interesting.

I agree, but by what she says the guy would have been supportive and maybe a great father. He can't be too bad if she wants her daughter to meet him one day. I don't know, lol.

Or even more important, why be so blase about such an important person for your DAUGHTER? Not knowing your dad (or mom) is a terrible way to grow up.
LOL, you big bubble-burster. Anyway, anonymous poster, you need to figure out the "Why" of your eating disoder in order to get anywhere in fixing it. Focus on that. Something is driving your disorder. If you don't know what that is, you should keep working on finding out.

How do you know?

#5 don't worry. their own kids are doing it for them. And I feel bad for the teachers who have to remember all the ridiculous names in their classrooms, too, just so each one can be "unique." What a bummer.
#10 – Congrats!! (i tried that in california & failed so i give this person props!)

my boyfriend's kid has an unusual name but there is a very good story behind it.

That is so sad. I hope that you get help for your eating disorder and that you can someday reconnect with God.
Oh and do not let other people tell you that there is no God, for them there may not be but the fact that you worry about your loss means there is for you. Work on yourself and try to stay positive and pray if you can. Praying can be as simple as just speaking to God with your heart, you do not have to kneel or close your eyes.
Best of luck, joy and love to you!
I find agressive atheists to be about the same as agressive evangelists… sad.

Logic fails you
Um…yeah. I just love people like you who think someone should be allowed to express their beliefs only if they agree with you. If someone saying there is no God is an "aggressive atheist" to you, then your post that goes on and on about God this and God that and "don't let anyone tell you there's no God" as if it's fact is just as "aggressive". You said the exact same thing, yet the "aggressive atheist" is "sad" while your behavior is perfectly acceptable only because it's yours. Right. You just don't like what the atheist said, so you think they shouldn't be allowed to say it.
Why is it that religious people think they're allowed to talk about God and tell people to pray all they want, but the second someone expresses a belief you don't like, you think they shouldn't be allowed to speak? So you think your opinion is the only acceptable opinion and the only one you deem worthy to be heard? You're nowhere near as tolerant and open-minded as you seem to think you are. You're a pathetic hypocrite, and you need to get over yourself. You thinking you know better than everyone else does not make you right.
I find obnoxious, self-righteous hypocrites to be sad, too.

@ logic fails you…
You obviously did not understand my post.
If someone wishes to believe or not believe in God that is fine by me.
I just do not care for people who tell people that they must believe or that they shouldn't believe, to me they are just the same and rather sad.
If she has faith then let her follow it, that is what I think, I was supporting her right to believe and to not be so afraid of her feelings.
Telling her that that there is no God when she believes there is one due to her fear of not being able to communicate with God is NOT helping her but just trying to make her feel bad and if she is going through an eating disorder she does not need to feel any worse than she probably already feels mentally and physically.
My post was not about if there is a God or not but it was about supporting what a person believes. I do not care for aggressive evangelists and I do not care for agressive atheists .
Please try reading and comprehending what is written before you call someone a self righteous hypocrite.
Oh and starting a post with "Um… Yeah" is just really arrogant and a poor way to begin a rebuttal.

Ain’t that the truth! I try not to judge the kids because it is not their fault, yet, I simply cannot take any of them seriously. Really, would you let Dr. Zingbot Smith take out your gall bladder? Or Ash’Anivieah Jones defend you in court?
Not even a relative of mine with one of those names. She is 13 and I still have never been able to use her ridiculous given name – luckily, the first syllable is something tolerable so I call her that. She thinks it is just my nickname for her.
(Oops, didn’t mean to go into confession-mode)
