How do I get a married man to be interested in me again so I can diss him?
This guy got me really interested in him and I found out he is married. He told me he was separated and we continued the ';friendship';. Now we are at a crossroads because I basically told him I want the truth from him and all he tells me is that he wants me. I know what that means and now I want to get back at him and make him want me more so I can leave him.How do I get a married man to be interested in me again so I can diss him?
That's twisted stuff.How do I get a married man to be interested in me again so I can diss him?
perhaps, that might not be a good idea. revenge is not a good behavior. just believe he will get whats coming to him in the end. just depart from him and move on and find another nice guy. Its a waste of precious time, and why waste TIME on someone who doesn't give a damn. I know your angry and hurt, and we do things out of hate, but down the road you ll realize how stupid it was. So im telling you now before you make foolish mistakes. I would check the background of the next guy you date, and scope him out before you further a relationship with them, and it will spare you many heartaches in the future. Good luck and remember to not waste time on trash. unfortunately its ashame you wasted too much time on him already.
Grow up and stop playing games, the guy is married leave him alone! If it were my husband and I found out a girl was tying to do that there would be a fight
What's the point? He played with you and now you want revenge? The best revenge is to live well, be happy and forget about him. He's not worth it. Trust. ';-()
I guess you can act flirty and fun while you are with him so he knows what he is missing
Don't do a thing. Haven't you heard of karma? What goes around comes around and he'll get his, don't waste another second of your life thinking about him!
You are fooling yourself about get him back to dump him to hurt him
Revenge is NEVER worthwhile.
omg he is married got over it
jeez
u want him to like u so u can diss him
you sound way too young and immature to be seeing a married man
how old are you?? 12
revenge is never the answer

How can I win sole custody of my child despite not being married?
Basically, this is a battle for a child out of wedlockHow can I win sole custody of my child despite not being married?
I鈥檓 a Father鈥檚 Rights Advocate for 20 years.
Many think the courts are rigged against dads, but in reality, it is more about attorneys unwilling or lacking the knowledge to truly fight for the father's rights. This is why it is important to learn how to interview and hire the right attorney. It is also important to do as much as possible on your own and not pay the attorney to do it.
Start keeping a daily journal of all your activities. The most common way to prevent a father from getting his rights through the courts is a false allegation, usually sexual. Over 60% of divorcing father are accused of child sexual abuse, of which only 4% are found to have any relevance, but there are no penalties for doing so. A daily journal is your number one piece of evidence in court and you can even refer to it while on the stand.
Gather evidence. Check the site below to see if it is illegal to record conversations without the other person knowing. If your state does not have a law either way, than it defaults to the federal ruling which says one person in a conversation must know they are being recorded. You鈥檙e that one person. In Missouri it is specifically legal, in Kansas there is no mention either way. If you live in two different states, and one has a law against it, than it applies when the call originates from within that state,
Now, you can't just record, you also have to transcribe it into the daily journal.
If you want to learn how to do all this go to Dads House in Yahoo Groups. There's an educational manual in the file section that can teach you what you need to know. The organization it came from is defunct due to attorneys that tried to take it over and make money from it.

http://www.parentalalienation.org/How can I win sole custody of my child despite not being married?
If you are a male and the child is under eight, this will be very difficult.
The ';tender years'; doctrine is one that is followed by almost every state family court system. Absent establishment of lack of fitness by virtue of drug use, chronic alcoholism, prostitution, abandonment of the child periodically or criminal incarceration, the best interests of the child are always presumed by the Court to be by having the mother be the primary custodial parent.
If you are battling with the child's mother, is it about money? I ask because sometimes parents have a price, and a lump sum offer may cause her to agree to give you primary physical custody.
Absent that, the best you can hope for is a liberal visitation schedule that adopts a co-parenting model favored by the courts. You will need to retain a Father's Right's attorney to assist you.
Is the other parent unfit, or are you just trying to punish them using your child as the device of torture? If the other parent is fit, it would be in your child's best interest to have equal time with both of you.
Proving the other parent unfit would be the first step towards sole custody...
Unless you can prove the father unfit, you can't....Sorry.
The child is genetically half his, or did you forget that?
You picked him to be the father (remember??), and as such, he has legal rights.
I agree with girlegi.
but with Three things added
One will have physical custody...
Child support from the noncustodial parent. set at about 33 % of gross income...
Visitation set out clearly. ...
The woman wins that all the time.
Get a lawyer or try to get along with the father enough to split custody fairly
The battle is the same if you are married or not.
You file for sole custody and go to court. (Forms are at the courthouse- you know... the big building downtown)

Why would a married man go to trips with another married woman?
I'm rephrasing the question I asked earlier. My soon to be ex denies having an affair with this married woman, a mother of 4, who was once his coworker. I have proofs of their affair and don't want him back in my life. But he is insisting they had nothing between them. Why would he go out to trips with her if he didn't have a relationship? I told him that I don't trust him and don't want him back in my life ever. Why doesn't he get my points?Why would a married man go to trips with another married woman?
You know the saying, ';No matter what, deny deny deny';? Sounds like he's taking it to heart.
Im glad you're not taking him back. Remember, there will come a day when he looks at his life and regrets what he did. By then, you'll have moved up and on and probably have someone who love and respects you.
Lots of luck!Why would a married man go to trips with another married woman?
Your point is now moot. You referred to him as your ';soon to be ex';. If that is the case, what would it matter with whom he had been or what they did or did not commit.
It would be best if you started considering the future. You cannot change the past, but you can influence the future. Get doing it.
Why are you having such a hard time with this? Your husband LIED. You have tons of proof, you know he lied. You aren't done with him, because you reword the question and pose it again. You need to let go of all this. You're getting a divorce. It doesn't matter what he thinks or feels. Why do you try to believe what he's telling you? He's a LIAR. If you can't get passed this on your own, maybe you should try some counseling.
I have proof of their affair.
So....to get him to see your 'points' lay the evidence out before him.
That failing.....use this magical spell that dissolves all love and bonds in a relationship. Now remember...this has to be said verbatim. Leave nothing out. Ready?
';Hey....Dipshit. What part of 'get the fug out of my life' don't you understand you Asshole?';.
Repeat in a louder voice if the first incantation fails and increase the volume of your voice each subsequent time.
There may or may not be a sexual relationship going on between them. Either way, it's not appropriate for him to go on a vacation with a married woman and her kids. I would say there is something going on and you were right to dump him. If there is ever anything said about it, maybe you should ask how he would have felt if you went on a vacation with a married man and his kids?
If you have proof then that's it you have the proof, so whatever he says you know is a lie, why bother trying to get lier to admit the truth? Just put him out of the picture and get on with your life.
He is in denial boo. He might just believe that he did nothing wrong.
Ur doing the right thing by divorcing his trifling stupid a**!
Move on and let it go. All u gonna do is work yourself up by trying to prove to the idiot he was wrong. It so isnt worth losing sleep over. He cheated and u know it... what more is there to discuss!
he doesn't want you to leave so will deny this happened to the bitter end. i have guy friends that have said they will deny until they die. but your heart and head will know the truth. i think them lieing helps them deal with what an @ $ $ they are.
what does it matter if he sees your point? you have the proof you need. get on with your divorce and your life and you will be better off for it
Unfortunately, some people's jobs require them to go on trips with co-workers. So apparently your ex had a job. How awful!facial

How do Conservatives view Sarah Palin's Daughter pregnancy Since She is NOT MARRIED?
Honestly speaking, I was raised by my grandmother and If i were pregnant at 17 and i was not married- I was going to hell and shunned by the whole community. But that was then How do Conservatives view Sarah Palin's Daughter pregnancy Since She is NOT MARRIED?
Conservatives only see this as a problem when a liberal or Democrat does it. When a Republican is outed as being gay, or has an affair, or shows a predilection for young boys or something like that, Republicans see it as unfair to criticize him, the charges are only political.
It's the same when a daughter of a Republican is pregnant outside of marriage. If it was Senator Biden's daughter, we'd be seeing questions here about how we could even THINK about electing someone so immoral that his daughter is pregnant. But since it's a Republican daughter, well, sh*t happens, it happens in the best families.
And it does! It could happen to your daughter. Girls with those silly Promise Keeper rings, who take pledges and get certificates get pregnant outside of wedlock just as often as girls who don't. Anyone who is young, or once was young, can be understanding about that. It doesn't really bother me a bit, what bothers me is the incredible hypocrisy of Republicans.How do Conservatives view Sarah Palin's Daughter pregnancy Since She is NOT MARRIED?
I do not know why all of the liberal Republican feminists love the fact that Sarah Palin is a Mom, and her oldest daughter Brystal is pregnant out of wedlock.. And, her daughter Brystal is having a 'shotgun' wedding to make the baby legitimate because her mother is the new VP candidate for the GOP. Brystal has been pregnant for 5 months. Why is she just now deciding to get married? Sarah Palin is a hunter, loves guns and the NRA; and I imagine she wears the pants in her household. Being a Mom does NOT qualify Sarah Palin or anyone else to be the best Vice President of the United States? If Sarah Palin had spent more time taking care of her children instead of being a Mayor and a Governor, maybe her daughter would not have become pregnant at 17 years old. What career plans does Sarah Palin's daughter have? Usually 17 year old teenagers who become pregnant have personal issues with their families.
It's clear by the the way you phrased your question that you are trying to make the point that conservatives should frown upon Sarah Palin because of this...
If I had to guess, you are a Democrat, and if I'm right about that, why are you picking on a poor teenage girl having a baby out of wedlock? Do you feel compassion for everyone, or only for fellow liberals?
I think you should send a portion of your welfare check to Palin's daughter to show how much you care about people in need.
Speaking for myself I find it refreshing that they did not have her go get a quick abortion...She is not the first politicians daughter to get pregnant just probably one of the only who did not have an abortion. If you were in my community and you were 17 I would not shun you or say you were going to hell. I would be proud of you for being strong and not giving in to the easy choice in the culture of death we are living in.
Believe it or not, conservatives are realists, too. I am a conservative Democrat. Doesn't mean I don't know that teenagers have sex and that there are way too many teenagers getting pregnant.
Once upon a time, as you said, we had the specter of pregnancy hanging over our heads to keep us chaste. No more. Seems like it is no big deal anymore.
No matter how we might hope our kids will listen to us, kids will do what kids will do. All the loving, nurturing parenting in the world can not keep a child from making a misstep here and there, and sometimes the consequences are lifelong.
That being said, I had my first child at eighteen, and that was 45 years ago, so it's not like it is something new in the world.
Look, it happens all the time, and has happened since time began. Conservative or not, I think the only way to confront human nature is to teach your child the values you hope they will adopt, and make sure they have education and access to birth control and techniques of safe sex to protect themselves.
I think there's an answer in there somewhere. I meant for there to be.
Wait...it's none of our business that Sarah Palin, who's running to the be the second most important person in one of the most powerful nations on Earth has a daughter who has a illegitmate kid at 17....
However, it's totally worth a constitutional amendment to stop Sulu from Star Trek from marrying his boyfriend??
Logic abounds!
Real conservatives aren't so narrow-minded. They follow certain values and try their best to teach those values to others, but in end life happens and it is not able to be controlled. What's important is to support each other through life's challenges as they happen.
At least they don't think of the baby as a punishment.
When I heard about it, my first thought was, ';oh boy, here we go.';
Look, whatever your personal views are about out-of-wedlock sex, we all know that things happen and people make choices and there are consequences. Anyone who is a parent knows that you don't have much influence after, oh, about what age? Maybe 14? Probably depends on the kid, but you do your best and then they make their own choices.
So, it doesn't change my opinion of Palin, because I know she's a mom who is doing her best, just like me. And, I know that, while they are putting on their smiley faces for the public, I'm sure there were a few things said behind closed doors. You know there were a few freak-outs, but that part is a family matter. I wish the mother-to-be well, and I hope she and her husband-to-be will really work hard to make their marriage work, because heaven knows, they've got a few strikes against them from the start. I applaud them for getting married, even at their young age. I think adoption is the best choice, and marriage is the second best choice in situations like these.
Politically, it is disappointing, because it becomes fodder for attacks from the Dems.
I think you have to understand that everyone in life makes mistakes, and even when Obama was asked this exact same question he said candidate's families should be left out of elections and even though something like that happened, it does not have anything to do with how a person will run our country. Very noble of Obama to say.
I view it as a very unfortunate situation and a very bad mistake for a young woman, but there isn't any option at this point for the Palin family to band together and do all they can to help give the new baby the best life they can. She isn't the first teenager to get pregnant and won't be the last.
Well, I can say this ... God doesn't hate the person, he only hates the sin. God sent Jesus to save us from our sins, not to judge us. We need to be graceful and forgiving in this case, and with all children caught in this predicament.
And now I will tell you my grand daughter came about the same way, I was mad at first, but she is now the light of my life ... All children are blessings form God, whether born or unborn and whether married or not.
I am a conservative but even I understand cultures change. While I disagree with it, it is no longer about whether or not she is married, but the welfare of the child.
No matter what, it happened. Now she simply needs to look to the future. So does a lot of other people, but they won't.
Please consider
since BOTH the Democrat and Republican offerings for candidates are seriously lacking in qualifications and moral standing.....
Would U consider voting for the NOT a Democrat and NOT a Republican?
Think about it!
I wonder if she attended a school that didn't teach sex ed, you know, follwing Bush's faith based programs so they can get more money. Keep 'em uneducated about sex, and cross your fingers that horny, curious teens aren't going to screw around.
That is exactly how the far right christian conservatives will treat Sarah and her family. They will see this as an embarrassment and demand she be replaced. The far christian right have a very narrow view of Christianity.
Most of the conservative religious people are standing behind her because she is walking the walk, not just talking the talk. I am standing behind her because she is the best person for the job.
Republicans are thin-skinned hypocrites. If the situation were reversed, the Repukes would be calling for a public lynching. Instead, they're trying to say that trailer-trash morals are fine.
I believe you mean social conservatives. Many people today are fiscal conservatives and social liberals (or moderates).
As for your question.
Its not my problem.
Why can't you people follow the wise counsel of Barack Obama and regard this family matter to be NOT AN ISSUE?
The thumbs down tell me you repukes want it to be an issue.
I don't know, but those evangelicals sure know how to pop out the illegitimate children, don't they!?
I think many may be disappointed about it however, they Will be pleased she is not getting an abortion.
THings have changed. It is a normal occurrence to see an un-wed mother. I think it has nothing to do with this election and should be left alone.
Follow Plan B get married.
Pretty bad decision... at least she is taking ownership of it though instead of saying that society made her a slut.
I am sure they weren't thrilled but they are dealing with it
I could care less, even if they were dems.
McPalin 08
yes. that was then. better the family shows love, caring and support.
It is not any of my business. I wish she has a healthy baby.
I'm fine with it. I give her lot's of credit for not having an abortion. She could've done that,but she didn't.

Why is she just now deciding to get married? Sarah Palin is a hunter, loves guns and the NRA; and I imagine she wears the pants in her household. Being a Mom does NOT qualify Sarah Palin or anyone else to be the best Vice President of the United States? If Sarah Palin had spent more time taking care of her children instead of being a Mayor and a Governor, maybe her daughter would not have become pregnant at 17 years old. What career plans does Sarah Palin's daughter have? Usually 17 year old teenagers who become pregnant have personal issues with their families.
It's clear by the the way you phrased your question that you are trying to make the point that conservatives should frown upon Sarah Palin because of this...
If I had to guess, you are a Democrat, and if I'm right about that, why are you picking on a poor teenage girl having a baby out of wedlock? Do you feel compassion for everyone, or only for fellow liberals?
I think you should send a portion of your welfare check to Palin's daughter to show how much you care about people in need.
Speaking for myself I find it refreshing that they did not have her go get a quick abortion...She is not the first politicians daughter to get pregnant just probably one of the only who did not have an abortion. If you were in my community and you were 17 I would not shun you or say you were going to hell. I would be proud of you for being strong and not giving in to the easy choice in the culture of death we are living in.
Believe it or not, conservatives are realists, too. I am a conservative Democrat. Doesn't mean I don't know that teenagers have sex and that there are way too many teenagers getting pregnant.
Once upon a time, as you said, we had the specter of pregnancy hanging over our heads to keep us chaste. No more. Seems like it is no big deal anymore.
No matter how we might hope our kids will listen to us, kids will do what kids will do. All the loving, nurturing parenting in the world can not keep a child from making a misstep here and there, and sometimes the consequences are lifelong.
That being said, I had my first child at eighteen, and that was 45 years ago, so it's not like it is something new in the world.
Look, it happens all the time, and has happened since time began. Conservative or not, I think the only way to confront human nature is to teach your child the values you hope they will adopt, and make sure they have education and access to birth control and techniques of safe sex to protect themselves.
I think there's an answer in there somewhere. I meant for there to be.
Wait...it's none of our business that Sarah Palin, who's running to the be the second most important person in one of the most powerful nations on Earth has a daughter who has a illegitmate kid at 17....
However, it's totally worth a constitutional amendment to stop Sulu from Star Trek from marrying his boyfriend??
Logic abounds!
Real conservatives aren't so narrow-minded. They follow certain values and try their best to teach those values to others, but in end life happens and it is not able to be controlled. What's important is to support each other through life's challenges as they happen.
At least they don't think of the baby as a punishment.
When I heard about it, my first thought was, ';oh boy, here we go.';
Look, whatever your personal views are about out-of-wedlock sex, we all know that things happen and people make choices and there are consequences. Anyone who is a parent knows that you don't have much influence after, oh, about what age? Maybe 14? Probably depends on the kid, but you do your best and then they make their own choices.
So, it doesn't change my opinion of Palin, because I know she's a mom who is doing her best, just like me. And, I know that, while they are putting on their smiley faces for the public, I'm sure there were a few things said behind closed doors. You know there were a few freak-outs, but that part is a family matter. I wish the mother-to-be well, and I hope she and her husband-to-be will really work hard to make their marriage work, because heaven knows, they've got a few strikes against them from the start. I applaud them for getting married, even at their young age. I think adoption is the best choice, and marriage is the second best choice in situations like these.
Politically, it is disappointing, because it becomes fodder for attacks from the Dems.
I think you have to understand that everyone in life makes mistakes, and even when Obama was asked this exact same question he said candidate's families should be left out of elections and even though something like that happened, it does not have anything to do with how a person will run our country. Very noble of Obama to say.
I view it as a very unfortunate situation and a very bad mistake for a young woman, but there isn't any option at this point for the Palin family to band together and do all they can to help give the new baby the best life they can. She isn't the first teenager to get pregnant and won't be the last.
Well, I can say this ... God doesn't hate the person, he only hates the sin. God sent Jesus to save us from our sins, not to judge us. We need to be graceful and forgiving in this case, and with all children caught in this predicament.
And now I will tell you my grand daughter came about the same way, I was mad at first, but she is now the light of my life ... All children are blessings form God, whether born or unborn and whether married or not.
I am a conservative but even I understand cultures change. While I disagree with it, it is no longer about whether or not she is married, but the welfare of the child.
No matter what, it happened. Now she simply needs to look to the future. So does a lot of other people, but they won't.
Please consider
since BOTH the Democrat and Republican offerings for candidates are seriously lacking in qualifications and moral standing.....
Would U consider voting for the NOT a Democrat and NOT a Republican?
Think about it!
I wonder if she attended a school that didn't teach sex ed, you know, follwing Bush's faith based programs so they can get more money. Keep 'em uneducated about sex, and cross your fingers that horny, curious teens aren't going to screw around.
That is exactly how the far right christian conservatives will treat Sarah and her family. They will see this as an embarrassment and demand she be replaced. The far christian right have a very narrow view of Christianity.
Most of the conservative religious people are standing behind her because she is walking the walk, not just talking the talk. I am standing behind her because she is the best person for the job.
Republicans are thin-skinned hypocrites. If the situation were reversed, the Repukes would be calling for a public lynching. Instead, they're trying to say that trailer-trash morals are fine.
I believe you mean social conservatives. Many people today are fiscal conservatives and social liberals (or moderates).
As for your question.
Its not my problem.
Why can't you people follow the wise counsel of Barack Obama and regard this family matter to be NOT AN ISSUE?
The thumbs down tell me you repukes want it to be an issue.
I don't know, but those evangelicals sure know how to pop out the illegitimate children, don't they!?
I think many may be disappointed about it however, they Will be pleased she is not getting an abortion.
THings have changed. It is a normal occurrence to see an un-wed mother. I think it has nothing to do with this election and should be left alone.
Follow Plan B get married.
Pretty bad decision... at least she is taking ownership of it though instead of saying that society made her a slut.
I am sure they weren't thrilled but they are dealing with it
I could care less, even if they were dems.
McPalin 08
yes. that was then. better the family shows love, caring and support.
It is not any of my business. I wish she has a healthy baby.
I'm fine with it. I give her lot's of credit for not having an abortion. She could've done that,but she didn't.
How long must i my stay married for to keep my green card?
Hi i was wondering if someone could please help me out?How long must i my stay married for to keep my green card?
well said Candis65 (US or any other country tho)How long must i my stay married for to keep my green card?
Generally, if you are married less than two years after you become a permanent resident your marriage will be considered to have been a sham marriage.
There are exigent circumstances that you will find on the I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions of residency.
Hi !
You could call the Dept of immigration and find out! It is illegal to marry someone just for the purpose of getting to stay in the U.S.
Have a great day!
Once you receive your Unconditional Permanent Residency (not the temporary conditional one) you no longer need to stay married to keep it.
It is not illegal to hold off your separation if your marriage was authentic. However, if you go through a final interview, it is illegal to lie about your relationship to the immigration officers in order to finalize you permanent residency.
that is just plain wrong. how would your partner feel after they find out you just used them? it's not human, it's cruel. sorry but it is.
What,, no anchor baby?
