My dog keeps going after my husband every time he is playing with his bone, right now my dog is in "lockdown" for 10 days because he bit my husband. Last night I'm saying my husband provoked him by going for the bone, he is saying that the dog should never go after him no matter what. Who is right?

Question found in Animals & Nature
This is an easy answer. Dogs are social animals. There is a strict hierarchy in the pack. There are disagreements occasionally that are settled by a nip.
Your dog told your husband that the dog is above the husband. Because you ask the question, I wonder if the dog isn't right.
Dogs don't mind being 2nd fiddle. They don't mind being in last place but they will always test their status if you allow it.
Now, understand that your husband is definitely the alpha male in the house. If you don't believe that, you need to respect your husband enough to divorce him and let him find a family that will allow him to be higher than the dog in the status of the household.
Dogs don't understand long term punishments. You guys are silly to think that on day number 8 that the dog will be wishing that he hadn't bit hubby.
Dogs understand dog language. Nips, yells, noise.
Correction happens quick with dogs... not over periods of hours or (smirk) days. Sudden and severe. This is the NATURE of the animal.
The husband needs to win the bone. Keep the bone. The dog needs to learn to wait for the husband to give the bone away.
Lockdown... now that's funny. Can you imagine what they must think at a kennel?

Why do I care so much about what and how people think about me. I keep living my life by everyone elses rules and not being me. I cant cope with finding out I have let someone down in some way or upset someone.

Question found in People & Relationships In General
You need to embrace chaos.
You don't have control but you think that you do. You have tried to control everything to make things "just right" for yourself. Yes, you do it so that others are happy but still it is about you. You want things to be just right. Most everyone else understands that chaos is a good thing. Do missp ellinggs bothere you? What if rules are not followed? What would happen to you if someone was upset? What would happen to you if you let someone down?
Everyone would get over it. Most things just don't matter. Most! Make some mistakes. Let go. Embrace chaos.

Why cant I keep a secret and end up telling people?

Discuss this question

Question found in People & Relationships In General
You want to be known as "in the know".
You value that label more than the value of "trusted".

After all, "trusted" takes longer to earn than "in the know".
It is about a low self image.

If you fix how you feel about yourself, you won't need to be validated by others.

Hi, I've been going out with this girl for over a month already. We used to go out before a long time ago probably a couple of years ago for a little bit, but nothing ever hapened with it.. But then we recently started talking again and she came over everyday literally. So finally I gave her all of my attention. So we started going out and then all of a sudden we became more intimate/having sex. She was my first. I was a virgin before by choice but something made me do it with her because I didn;t want to lose her because I really like her alot! She kept on asking me for it so I felt like I had no choice. I like her alot. So much that it hurts now. After having sex with her everything became really complicated now I like her even more. Now after that she wants her space. She says I'm smothering her and I can't see her everyday. It just seems like i'm not good enough anymore. It makes me cry, I just want to be with her but we agreed that we can't until I get my job which I'm going to get in the next coming week. Am I doing something wrong why can't I stop crying? I've been an emotional wreck for the past couple of weeks. I just don't want to lose her as it hurts me so bad I'm not suicidal but it does cross my mind. I don't really mean to be like that I don't. I just can't stand the pain. What am I doing wrong please tell me? im even crying right now just for talking about it.. please help me I dont know what to do. please.

I just dont know what to do.

You are having a normal, everyday, run of the mill emotional relationship. From here forward, this can be good or go bad.
I will recommend to you that you understand that you are sharing yourself. Part of you is with this other person. You are invested in her too and you have a bit of her with you. While this is normal, the first time someone does this, it can get excessive. Understand who you are with her and without her. Work to make sure that you are the same person in both situations.
She is not punishing you with her absence but you are. While this is normal it can get caustic. Invest in yourself. Get a new hobby, learn something new, go somewhere exiting. Then you will have something to offer her when you re meet.
She can't tire of you if you are growing all of the time.

I want to know if my auntie Grace is mad at me or my Mom because we have emailed her and called and she never returns the call. Or, is she going through her own problems? But, if I email someone it doesn't take long to say hello or when you send an instant message. Why do you think she hasn't responded? She's not my real auntie but I knew her since I was 12 and I'm now 29. I think of her as my real auntie, I emailed her a month ago and she hasn't responded since February. I would have talked to her about four times since then.

I am a business partner, in my ex spouses business...he said that the divorce means a dissolvement...does it...with no legal papers on the disolement, that means he could go into debt, and make me pay...where has my third, as stated in the contract gone!

Discuss this question

Question found in Legal Other
First, we have to correct your terminology.
If you were a partner, it is not your ex husband's company. It is your company. You are a partner.

Second, how did you become a partner into this company?
If you became a partner into this company only because you were married to your husband who had had a partnership, you don't have full partnership.
You have half of your husband's part during the marriage.
If you obtained your share of the company as an outcome of a divorce agreement, then you own exact that percentage of the company as described explicitly by your finalized divorce accounting statement.

Third, as a partner in a company, you share the risk and rewards of the business at the rate of your partnership.
This means that one partner could become so reckless that the whole business fails and you would have a share of debt not profit.
You have a risk and that is why you share in the rewards of the business.

In the case where one partner causes the business to fail, you would be legally bound to the other's mistakes but, depending on the reasons for the failure of the business, you may be able to claim damages against the person who collapsed the business. To be clear, you would suffer the failure but at a later time may be able to recover some of the loss. Maybe.

Check to see how this partnership was established. It may be a Limited Partnership, it may be incorporated. Find out. If it not a simple partnership, ask the question again for more specific advise about your exposure.

Can I get a hardship withdrawal from my 401k plan when my employer will not allow one? I am in Michigan

Discuss this question

Question found in Legal Other
It depends on your hardship. Is your hardship expressly covered in your 401k agreement?

Comments :
I need the withdrawal to cover back taxes on my house to prevent foreclosure. I have until Feb. 07 or the house goes to the county(tax sale). My companies 401k agreement DOES NOT allow loans or hardship withdrawals. There must be a way to access these funds. Its my money. 100% vested. Thoughts?

How soon after the exodus was the wilderness tabernacle completed?

Discuss this question

Question found in Bible Studies
This is a question that requires faith not fact.
There is no evidence that their were ever Jews working in Egypt.
There is no evidence that their were any people roaming around for 40 years.
Most historians and archaeologist state that there simply isn't the resources for such an event to occur. I believe it did, regardless.

There is no evidence that the wilderness tabernacle was ever completed.
For you and me, sure it did but there is no evidence that it existed.

So you want to know the time difference between to events that have no evidence. So this moves you out of the realm of fact and into the realm of faith.

One thing that I have noticed is that faith usually ignores facts or absents of facts. You may find a person who says "2 years" and it could well be that you take that bit of anticdotal evidence and make that fact in your own mind.

If that makes you comfortable, that is fine. The sin of that is not with the person who hears the guess but with the person who crafts their opinion as fact.

"Nothing rings true in the mind of the common man like faith based truths, not even emperical evidence." - Warren Ingalls Sept. 2006
