We got an email from someone that works with a pregnant woman that smokes. She wants to know if she should confront her co-worker or not. She says the woman is clearly not considering the welfare of the child, so shouldn't someone?
I can definitely relate to this topic. I used to bartend at a chain restaurant while I was in college. It was rare, but every once in a while a pregnant woman (and I mean 7-9 months) would take a seat at the bar and order a drink. I know it's not my place to tell someone how to live their life, but serving them a drink with hard alcohol in it was one of the hardest things to do. Then if they ordered another...I don't even want to get into that! Another reason this topic is hitting close to home is because my wife and I have been trying for a baby for the last year and a half. We would do anything for a kid right now and it infuriates me to see someone treat pregnancy as though it is a nuisance. If I were this woman, I would definitely say something to my co-worker.
What do you think she should do? Have you ever confronted a pregnant woman over a bad choice she was making?
Kelly Ripa recently admitted her husband, Mark Consuelos, used to be a stripper. She tells Vanity Fair, "A lot of hot guys in Hollywood have done that. I even have an old calendar pinup of him. He was straight out of college — he went to Notre Dame but he finished his degree at the University of South Florida. So, there he was in South Florida, he's gorgeous, looking to break into show business, so he started off as a roadie to a group of these guys, and then they talked him into stripping."
I can thankfully say that I really didn't have any big secrets like this come out after my wife and I married. We made it a point to make sure that we both knew every little thing about each other so nothing would come back to haunt us. I have had a friend that something like this happened to. He had been dating the girl for about 2 years when they got engaged. The said the vows and a few weeks later he found out exactly how much debt she was in. They'll most likely be paying collectors until the day they both die.
Was there a secret like this that came out in your marriage after you said your vows? What post-marriage bombshell did your spouse drop on you?
Yi boys! I'm in a relationship and I live with my boyfriend. My sister was recently cheated on so I've taken it upon myself to protect my relationship. If my boyfriend's phone is lying around, I will scroll through his text messages. I don't read every single one—I just make sure there are no weird numbers or anything inappropriate. We also have an app on our phones that will tell us if the security system has been armed or not. If I see that he has turned it on or off at a weird time I text him to ask what's going on. (Little stuff like that) I'm really not a jealous person—I've just seen my sister and a lot of my girlfriends get cheated on by their boyfriends and I refuse to let myself become one of them. One friend told me I was spying and that I was crossing a line. I say, he's a part of my life and I'm entitled to know that I'm still in a healthy relationship or not. I feel like my girlfriends could have saved themselves a lot of heartache if they would have done this, too. Am I the only woman that does this stuff?
Erin
I think Erin is going a little too far. I don't consider myself to be the jealous type either. If my wife's phone is near me and a text comes through, I'll peak to see who it is from. I think it is human nature to be curious and want to know what is happening around you, but Erin sounds like she is guarding herself way too heavily and taking this overboard. Although we are only getting one side of the story here, Erin failed to mention anything about her boyfriend giving her a reason to be doing the things she is. She never said he's cheated before, or he acts very strange with a certain female co-worker, etc. To me, it sounds like she has trust issues and is looking for some sort of evidence to not be in the relationship.
What do you think? Is Erin going too far or does a woman have the right to know every detail in her boyfriend/husband's life?
Kerri Dobson recently admitted to the UK paper The Sun that she has taken a small "trophy" from each of the 21 partners she's had in her life. She admitted to The Sun, "Each time I spend the night with a guy I walk away with something I hope he won't miss. Often it's clothes like a used pair of boxer shorts, an old T-shirt, a hat or a jumper — something that smells of him. I'm not ashamed of my big collection as each sexual experience has shaped me and the items remind me of that."
I will admit it....I do have something from one girl. The only reason I kept the "trophy" was because it was from the night I lost my V-card. I don't think keeping something to remind yourself of one specific night is all that important. To tell the truth, every time I come across my "trophy" I think to myself, "Why the hell do I still have this?"
The sanctity of Steve's home was seriously violated by a guest he willingly let in! So what happened that made Steve feel so violated? The guest used the decorative soap instead of the plain hand soap! How dare they!
I really think Steve is crazy for this one. Soap is soap. If you didn't want someone to use it, don't put it in the bathroom! The thing that drives me crazy is when you go to someone's house and the only available bathroom is the one used as the main bathroom. After you wash your hands, the only towel in the bathroom is the one the person living there has used for showering. That's gross. I don't want to dry my hands on a towel that has touched...who knows where!
Would it bother you if a guest used your decorative soap or towels in the bathroom?

The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a mystery in the sky. A mysterious object flying over Denver nearly caused a mid-air collision Monday evening, 9Wants to Know has learned.
As far as investigators know, the mystery object did not show up on radar Monday.
Investigators believe this object, whatever it is, could pose a serious safety hazard to planes.
Radio transmissions from LiveATC.com confirm a nervous-sounding pilot reported a strange object at 5:17 p.m. Monday.
The pilot is heard telling air traffic control: "A remote controlled aircraft, or what? Something just went by the other way ... About 20 to 30 seconds ago. It was like a large remote-controlled aircraft.
Britney Spears may have just closed a $15 million dollar deal to become part of 'The X Factor' this fall as a judge, but it looks like the pop star isn't willing to fork over a few bucks for something as simple as a manicure.
The singer, 30, showed up to the Fox Upfront event in New York City on Monday sporting a body-hugging purple dress - and some very bloody cuticles.
NBC's America's Got Talent premiered lower in the ratings this year despite the high-profile addition of Howard Stern as the show's new judge.
Monday's two-hour Got Talent returned to 10.3 million viewers and a 3.6 rating, down 16 percent from last year. EW's Ken Tucker suggested Stern's performance was almost too nice.
Before everybody points fingers at Stern, however, here's a big mitigating factor: Last year Got Talent premiered at the very end of May and was paired with The Voice. This year, Got Talent faced a full boat of competition from rival networks, so the talent competition might have returned lower in the ratings due to the scheduling change. NBC points out last night's rating matches Got Talent's performance two years ago. At 10 p.m., NBC's Smash (6.1 million, 1.8) finale was steady.

Spears, who has admitted to nervously biting her nails in the past, might have been feeling the pressure prior to Monday's announcement that she was joining the network's talent competition show.
