Oh you have no idea how badly they deal with domestic abuse here. Suspended sentences are the norm, with no way to enforce some sort of restraining order ( it doesn't exist in our legal system). And the police, well they are f. useless. Just last week a woman was killed by her husband because they deemed the threat…

With the EU? Incredibly easy, there are no controls at the borders for E.U citizen. And the EU is huge. I think she should do it.

Unfortunately not. Over here a judge sentenced a man to 18 months for domestic abuse, but with a suspended penalty, that means he got to walk as long as he behaved. He promptly went on to kill the woman for testifying against him.

Precisely.

Actually, it's going fine, had a wonderful pregnancy, and at 39 weeks I'm positively perky. Good luck.

If someone doubts how wise ancient Greeks were, all you have to do is read their plays and study their mythology. Those people knew human nature and weren't affraid to show it in their full glory (or misery). That being said, Cindy's body is of her hour, meaning beautiful for her age ;)

Well put, A++++++++++

I suggest you read all my answers in this thread, dearest. Bless your young heart.

I know, I'm 39 and about to give birth to my first child. My husband aparently finds me attractive enough to reproduce, even if I'm no longer 20. Go figure.

I can't wait until he finds out angry old men get zero atention from nubile young girls unless they're rich...

So, someone who can't/won't reproduce is worthless as is someone who already did because job done, you're done... Are you perchance planning on offing yourself once you're no longer young and attractive?

No advice or anything, just a hug from a stranger.Parenthood is the hardest thing.

Well, if only a woman's worth and atractiveness weren't linked with her ability to have babies...

Well, he said himself he only dates models and wants to date as many as possible before he's too old. That's his choice, obviously, but it doesn't mean I, as a perfect stranger on the internet, won't judge him for that choice. He comes across as shallow and flighty, which really aren't favourite features on any…

Yeah, I wasn't trying to put down her efforts, but that wasn't really my point. She looks great, and that's the result of a lifetime of good skin care, good diet and exercise. And also, good genes.

There's nothing wrong with her body, that's how a 47 year old body looks, if you're lucky and have very, very good genes. Why people should continue the myth that beautiful = young I don't know. Because as a species our window of youth is relatively small, and we'll be old far longer than young. That's a long time to…

Seconded, he's a douche. A reasonably tallented actor, but still a douche.

I know the feeling, I've been on a strict diet since the begining of the pregnancy precisely to avoid GD. (as I was overweight to begin with, the risk was very high). I was lucky not to get them, but still avoided sweets and carbs all pregnancy, cake was a faraway dream. That's why the present was so apreciated, it…

When I was arround 11, I convinced a classmate you could totally get pregnant by eating bread and butter. She was naive and sheltered and I was evil. A few days later her mom comes over to our house, totally hysteric demanding severe punishment because I had ruined her little girl's innocence. My mom was shocked, I…

I love Victoria Holt, but Elizabeth Peters Amelia Peabody series is still one of my favourite reads. Just love her quirks.
