I have this cousin that is an incredibly sharp-tongued, confident/cocky, audacious and intelligent. Eg, She stole an item from my room a while back like it was something of hers and it got me thinking again tonight because until this day i haven’t figured how to handle her conniving ways.
I coincidentally found the same expensive hat my mum had bought me(which i took quite a fond liking to) displayed in her room and i asked her if it was mine(i am sure that it was and is cos she mentioned she had liked it) .. she replies in a very cool manner .. "No i bought that".. and i asked her again was she sure and she nodded on like it was nothing at all. I didn’t believe her of coarse but i didn’t want to push it. She does these kinds of thing’s to me all the time and then tells me i need to be more demanding, i hate that my kindness is so often mistaken for weakness. What should i do ? I’ve tried confronting her but at the end she still makese me feel like an idiot door mat.

I have a 6 month old puppy and we are having problems where he doesn’t tell us when he wants to go outside for a pee. If we are home and the door is open he will happily go outside or once he has eaten and we tell him to go outside he will do it.

It is just occasionally and the door isn’t open and he hasn’t got a pee mat down (we generally try to not use them in the evening to ween him off them) he will just pee near the door but doesn’t give us any indication that he needs a pee.

His bladder is getting better and he just starting to hold on for about 8/9 hours in night without having to pee and eventually we are going to install a dog flap so he openly go in and out the garden to pee once he has learned that flowers are not for eating!

It would just be easier for us to train him to indicate to us that he wants a wee, he has somehow learnt to bark when he requires more water in his bowl or when he wants to go outside for a poop, just not with his wees.

Please help any advice would be good!

Thanks!

I just bought a new mat for my floor (tile) between the up and down stairs, and it blocks the gap between the door and the floor. But now when the door opens the mat slides. What can I stick under the mat to make it stick in place on the floor? I don’t think tape will work to well, we open and close the door a lot.
The bottom of the mat is not the same as the top, it’s that rubbery stuff.
Not rubbery stuff, rough stuff.

I wrote it myself. Here goes. It’s called:

"Cheese"

I love cheese,
although it makes me sneeze.

I will steal all the cheese from the rats,
and smash them on my door mat.

If it makes me fat,
I will hit myself with a bat.

Cheese is so good,
when you’re posted up in the hood.

If you don’t like cheese,
you bes believe!

Hope you guys liked it (:

I HAVE BEEN MARRIED ALMOST 4 YEARS AND MY HUSBAND TREATS ME LIKE IM NOTHING BUT A DOOR MAT UNDER HIS FEET. I DO EVERYTHING 4 HIM AND WHEN HE IS SICK I TAKE CARE OF HIM I TRY TO BE THE BEST WIFE EVER. WHEN THINGS ARENT DONE WRIGHT WHEN HE WANTS IT TO BE DONE OR IF HE DOESNT GET HIS WAY ON EVERYTHING THEN HE TREATS ME LIKE CRAP AND CALLS ME BAD NAMES.
HE ALSO TELLS ME ALL THE TIME THAT I DESERVE BETTER THAN HIM. BUT THAN HE TURNS RIGHT AROUND & TELLS ME THAT HE LOVES ME . THIS REALY CONFUSES ME I FEEL LIKE IF HE REALLY DOES LOVE ME THAN HE WOULDNT SAY THESE THINGS TO ME.
LIKE TODAY HE WANTED ME TO CUT HIS HAIR BUT THE BABY NEEDED A BATH SO I GAVE THE BABY A BATH FIRST AND I TOLD HIM I WOULD AFTER I GOT DONE SO THEN HE GOT MAD AT ME AND SAID FORGET IT.
IM CONFUSED ON WHAT I SHOULD DO I DO LOVE HIM AND WE HAVE TRYED COUNCELING BUT IT DOESNT HELP.

I think she left me for another guy, and I’m sad cuz we had so many special times and i think we both put a lot of effort, how long do u think it will take for that relationship to turn sour, I truly believe that time will be my avenger , because she left me heart broken and from what people tell me she could care less, and I’m like " I gave u my all and at the end it never mattered . I wasn’t a door mat for her though

We are not sharing any of this with her cause like i said her life her choices her lessons. He loves her and would never stay away from her but it kills me that she is using him as a door mat. Why would she tell him that she loves him with all of her heart and then dump him with no warning. She does this all the time. The guys in the small town that we live in will now not touch her with a 10 foot pole. The 28 year old will cause he gets the chance to get another playmate for himself and his 3 children. (i have a question just before this named He is so hurt). This has to be the hardest thing tht i have had to go through with my daughter. She is a good kid and i know that we have done all that we can but i can not help but think what if i did not do enough. I sat at that table last night trying to tell the one that she dumped on hold on baby and one day she will come around but i felt bad doing that cause it is not fair to him. He does not want to spend the rest of his life with anyone
but her. He said that he can not imagine is life without her in it. He will make it but i can not help how this makes me feel. I think that there is something inside her that makes her think that it is ok to do things this way and if she were still a kid i could go along with this but she is an adult now and i have made bad choices and i am trying to let her know that this is not the right way to do things. I voiced my opioion to her about this but did not tell her what to do cause i can’t. Did we do the right thing in talking to him. He told us when he left that he felt 20 times better just being able to talk to us about it. We also told him that he needed to talk to his parents about it.

I’ve been with a guy for two weeks. We had knew each others a little before going out (two years before seeing each others again). We had a very strong connexion when we re-met.. but he told me he wasn’t available for any engagement because he will be travelling around. I broke up our casual relashionship before getting hurt, and he proposed friendship, which I turned off. Later on though, we’ve seen each other and I told him that after some thoughs, it would be great to be his friend and to hear from him whenever he’d feel like it.
It has been two weeks and I don’t have any of his news..

First I feel like he used me as a proverbial door mat since he ‘didn’t wanted to get serious’, but as I really acted quickly in ending the casual relashionship and didn’t asked for some affection or attention afterwords. I hope to have saved some of my pride in his eyes…

Do you think it is the case?
