“What do you think?” usually means “What’s your opinion of this?” It’s typically heard after someone has put forward a proposal, or perhaps has completed some task, and is looking for approval or agreement, e.g. A: “I think we should go online, check the wallpaper on two or three different sites, and choose the one that most closely resembles what we already have. What do you think?” B: “Hmm. That sounds reasonable.”“How do you think?” is, in my experience, a semi-sarcastic reply to someone who questions how something might be done. It means, “Isn’t the answer obvious?” e.g. A: “I think we should get some wallpaper that looks like what we already have.” B: “And how do you propose we find that wallpaper?” A: “How do you think? We go online and check sites.”This same sense of “Isn’t it obvious?” is found with other question words as well:(knock knock) A: “Who’s there?” B: “Who do you think? I texted you five minutes ago to say I was on my way over.”A: “What’s that in your back pocket?” B: “What do you think? What do men usually carry in their back pocket?”A: “I’ll be 34 years old tomorrow.” B: “So when were you born?” A: “When do you think? I’ve just told you I’ll be 34 tomorrow. Do the math.”A: “I don’t feel so good. I think it must be the leftover fish I ate last night.” B: “Why did you eat that?” A: “Why do you think? I was hungry and there wasn’t anything else.”
I had just moved to Toronto and was excited about being in the same town as my sister and brother in law and their seven (yes, seven) children. I wasn't there long when my brother in law was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer. He had six months at the most, to live.My sister in law was devastated. Especially the last few months which her husband spent mostly in hospital. I was crushed for my sister and wanted to help in any way I could. So after work, rather than going home, I would go to my sister's house, help make supper, feed the kids, help them with homework, bathe the little ones and read them stories and put them to bed. Then while the older ones watched the younger kids, I drove my sister to the hospital and visited with my brother in law until they kicked us out. Then I drove my sister home, slept on her couch till about 5 am then got up, went home, showered and dressed and went to work. Then that evening, I would do it all over again. Again and again I did this, over and over for months until his condition was so critical we were summoned to the hospital; he wasn't expected to last the night.I remember his last night, that night being with him, he was unconscious and my sister was exhausted. I told her to go get some coffee, I would stay with him while she took a small break.So there was just me and him. It was quiet.I remember sitting with him silently and listening to the sound of the heart monitor. I remember being drawn to it, watching the little red pulse going up and down, up and down, on the heart monitor. I watched it for some time and then I remember a big smile growing across my face.What my dear brother-in-law taught me, in the dark, in his silence and literally with his heart, was the following:When the heart monitor pulse goes up and down, up and down, it means you are alive.So much time in my life I had been trying to avoid the ups and downs of my existence, to make things steady and on an even keel. I didn't like messy I wanted everything to be smooth. (But I also realised is that when the pulse is smooth on the heart monitor, your life is pretty much over.)I thank my brother in law to this day, many years later for this great gift of wisdom. It continues to inspire me, especially when I am down.I think of the heart monitor. After each down comes another up, and then another down, but then another up. It's life. And its normal (and even healthy) to be that way.
Do you honestly think I cheated here?
Honestly guy, you've got a woman that wants to marry you, vs. a woman that gets off playing with you. The one you handcuffed is full of it. She's the trick bag in your life. She's the future homewrecker. Seriously. Once you leave your fiancee for this one, she'll toast you in a New York Minute after using you like a napkin at McDonalds. I don't think I can make this any clearer. Now, did you cheat? Technically no because you're not married and technically you didn't have sex, but you engaged in sexual play with her. You might as well have been planning it out on the internet. The point is, why mess up a good thing. Your fiancee is a pain in the butt because she's unemployed, scared and hurt. And you ought to have been spending your time being nice to her and trying to cheer her up. Frankly I don't get it half the time. People find someone that loves them, and then go out and screw that up for something frivolous. Every relationship is going to have ups and downs. Even after you get married, the roles might be reversed and YOU might be down, angry, hurt and unemployed and your future wife might become the sole breadwinner. Then what? Would you feel good if she went out and did some stud? I doubt it. You'd feel hurt. Look its one thing if you're in a trashed out, exit relationship where there's no real chance of survival, that I can see. You've checked out emotionally. But if you're just angry because your fiancee's just been screwed by a job loss, then the next time what'll happen? You'll think its okay to do something like this or go that next step. And then what? If your relationship's working, then keep working at it. Don't mess around with a nut like the one you just did. She's not serious about you at all. If anything, once she's wrecked your engagement, she'll dump you and feel totally "empowered" and do it to some other dude which will make you feel worse.
Is there still hope of getting back together?
My boyfriend and I had been together for one year and ten months. He's turning seventeen in two weeks and I am twenty. Everything seemed to be going great.....untill the day he broke up with me. The story is......we met in High School through some friends. He was fourteen, I was eighteen. Four months later, we began dating and were inseperable since then! Everybody could really tell that we were made for eachother and he even said so himself a couple hundred times. We clicked like no other and we had such a strong connection that no one could break. We had our moments from time to time where we would argue and everything, but we always made it through and made up with eachother easily! The other day, when we broke up, he told me it was because he no longer felt the same way as he did about me when we were going out. He said he had felt that way for about a month and that whenever he'd try to talk to me, he would find it difficult to find things to say. It's been a week and 2 days since I last spoke to him and I am so completely lost without him. Before we started going out, we were with other poeople, but we never shared a love like that with anyone else, like the love that he and I used to share together. He kept telling me from time to time waaaay before we broke up that he couldn't imagine being with anyone else and that I was the perfect one for him. That he couldn't be happier with anyone else, but me. And, when we were breaking up, he told me that. He told me that he hadn't felt that way about anyone else before. What does that mean, and why did he say it if he was breaking up with me? I truly believe theres another chance for us sometime in the near future, just like he said. But I need him so much and I dont know what to do with out him! He completed me in so many ways!!!!! A few days ago, a friend of mine spoke to him and said that he had sounded sad and hurt by talking about it. Does this say that he still might love me, & dosent want to admit it, or what cuz im so confused. I also recently found out from a friend of his, that yesterday he and his family went on vacation. I know they go every summer, it’s been a tradition of theirs, but I just didn’t know when they were gonna leave. I tried giving him a call today to just see what’s up, and he didn’t answer. Infact, I thibk that he could have possibly hung up on me before answering it. What does this all mean? Sincerely, Broken hearted
Yes. They will still be able to do that. That is part of their chat history. You will only be gone from their whatsapp contact list when they refresh it (rather whenever it gets refreshed) just like someone swooshes in when he/she is in your phonebook and then creates a whatsapp account. Broadly, deleting your account will do the following:Delete you from your friends' Select contact lists.Delete you from all WhatsApp groups.Erase your message history on your phone.Delete your WhatsApp service payment information

As at as quickly as as which you will, talk to an attorney and discover out who has jurisdiction over this difficulty. once you think approximately that your son lives interior the Bahamas with you, and has finished so for 3 years (???), i might have faith they do. additionally, discover out how the Bahamas define abandonment. this finished technique is possibly no longer as confusing as you think.
Wanting to be left alone has two meanings: One, I want to cut off our relationship but I need some more time time to reflect on my decision and two, I need some time to be alone because this is a personal problem and you have nothing to do with it.With the situations I cited, you can see the first as directly connected to her relationship with you and the other has no bearing on your relationship with her.Here are some suggestions you might want to consider:DO NOT OVER ANALYZE not unless you know her well to think that she really wants you out of his life. Women are moody but they always change their minds often as well.ASK. Know what bothers her. Ask her what the problem is with you—is it what you do or did not do?BE THERE FOR HER. No demands. Just show her you are willing to listen and understand her. Never judge her. Make her see you are willing to accept her despite her imperfections.The EX part? I see this issue as a gray area. You need to discuss it with her.Is she still in-love with her ex? Get a definite answer because if she is still hook on him, then perhaps her behavior has something to do with it. Better get hurt now than be tortured to keep guessing what she really wants.Sometimes, distance or time spent away from her will help you understand yourself too or perhaps reconsider the possibility of giving her more time to realize your value in her life.
