      what would you want him to do when he has a new friend of the opposite sex? whatever that is, do it.

      be yourself, be respectful. have something to talk about, so you don't sit there answering a million questions about yourself, if she's even all that interested.

      ive met several moms. only one was all up on me. everybody else was "hey, how you doing?" a couple questions, then off to mind their biz or general topics.

      you have choices, always. you just may not like the consequences of such. your parents ways do not have to be your ways. unless, of course they are footing the bill.

      i don't understand why you can't save money and have a steady income? is working hard and saving money no longer a core staple of haitian culture?

      same? none. NYC can not be duplicated. part of what makes it what it is, is the scale/size.

      there are pockets of progressive people everywhere, just a matter of finding where you fit.

      I love Dallas and Houston. Of course, ATL. Charlotte makes a lot of lists too. I'll see for myself next month.

      If I had to live in the South? hmmmm. Prolly Dallas.

      That's unfortuante he feels that way about the kid. His romantic relationship status with you should have nothing to do with how he feels about the kid. Don't be guilt-tripped. The type of person who uses a child as leverage isn't all that invested in the kid's best interest (that goes for men and women.) Is sad and petty. There's no reasoning with that.

      Continue to co-parent. Don't re-ignite a relationship unless you actually want to.

      No, you have nothing to feel bad about. You didn't suggest he take it to the point that it would change how he felt about the kid. That's ON HIM.

      pt2/2: and the phone line is still on. He'll text me once every few days to say hello. I cant be his friend or be cool with him right now. Whats the best way to approach this civilly with him?

      you can't force him to turn it off. ask again. see it he goes along with it. if you're not paying for it or using it, is it really a problem?

      otherwise, you're not obligated to speak to him.

      this is a CLASSIC relationship mistake. unless you're married, keep your ish in your name only.

      ive read the reports. i know two people who've moved to ATL in the last year. everybody else i know is chillin with no real plans to move.

      you'll have to examine the studies on this one for yourself. it's mot something ive investigated or even read up on in depth
