Boyfriend Tugs at Heartstrings From a Very Long Distance

*Tug

V | Tug (at/on) sth (세게, 흔히 여러번) 잡아당기다

- She tugged at his sleeve to get his attention | 그녀가 그의 주의를 끌려고 그의 소매를 잡아당겼다

- A sad story that tugs at your heartstrings | 심금을 울리는 슬픈 이야기

*Heartstring 심금

- tug[pull] at a person's heartstrings ~의 감정을 뒤흔들다, 심금을 울리다

- The movie has tugged at my heartstrings | 심금을 울리는 영화였어

- His words pulled at my heartstrings | 그의 말에 가슴이 찡했다

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend, "Cole," and I have been together since college -- several years now. We have a loving relationship, but the problem is distance. My job sometimes requires me to take short-term (two- to five-month) contracts in other cities and overseas.

*Require

1. 필요[요구]하다, 필요로 하다

- Theses pets require a lot of care an attention

2. ~sth (of sb) [흔히 수동태로] (특히 법, 규칙등에 따라) 요구하다

- The wearing of seatbelts is required by law

- All candidates will be required to take a short test

Even though it is difficult to be apart, I handle long-distance relationships relatively well while Cole does not. This began in college when I studied abroad for a semester. Cole tries to be supportive and wants me to be successful, but he takes it personally when I have to leave. For me, it's just about a job, but Cole doesn't see it that way.

I would support Cole wherever and in whatever he needed. Although it would be ideal to be together all the time, I realize that sometimes it isn't possible. Am I being selfish, or do we simply need different things out of a relationship? -- GLOBE-TROTTER IN DES MOINES

*Globe-trotter 세계 관광 여행기; 늘 세계 각지를 여행하는 사람

DEAR GLOBE-TROTTER: Are you being selfish, or is Cole being selfish? Are you willing to give up a career you have prepared for and work in so that he will no longer suffer separation anxiety? While your relationship is a loving one, the two of you have serious differences, and you must rationally decide which is more important to you. After that, everything will fall into place.

*Rationally 이성적으로, 합리적으로

*Fall/slot into place | (복잡하거나 이해하기 어려운 것이) 딱 맞아떨어지다 [분명히 이해가 되다]

My Opinion

I think she just/ relys on him/ úniláterally. it's really hard to keep a relationship in/ long distance... I think LW is/ being selfish now. Usually in relationship/ the one who leaves is/ selfish... because they would be alone in other city/ or overseas so they have to feel kinda bonding or love, etc

I think there is no such thing as love, just selfishness to both of them

They want their partner to do only what they want, LW wants him to wait for her and He wants her to come back.

and I think finally LW's boyfriend's gonna be exhausted or sick and tired of it!

it summoned up a commercial, the reason I love my gf, not Jeon-Ji-Hyun is I can touch her

I think touching(스킨쉽) is so important in relationship, because People wanna feel I'm with someone

I don't believe such thing as Platonic love it can be just between parents and children

There are plenty more fish in the sea, just go get another fish!

Mixed-Race Baby Would Be a Surprise but Not an Outcast

DEAR ABBY: I am five months pregnant with my second child and engaged to a wonderful man, "Tony." We get along well with my ex-husband with whom I share custody of my first child. But problems may arise when the baby is born.

*Be engaged to sb ~와 약혼하다

*Engage

Vi | engage in/on/upon ~에 관여하다 (참여하다) | to be doing or to become involved in an activity

- Only 10% of American adults engage in regular exercise

- The two parties engaged upon an escalating political struggle

*Get along (well) with someboby ~와 잘 지내다

*Arise (특히 문제나 곤란한 상황이) 생기다, 발생하다

I had a night of sex with a friend who is of a different race. Tony knows about it and the possibility that the baby will be mixed. He feels strongly that he will help me raise the child as his own (child).

*Be of a different kind[sort; type] 종류가 다르다

My family knows nothing about this, nor does my ex. How should I handle the possible backlash and confusion if this child is, indeed, the product of my one-night stand? -- SCARED IN THE SOUTH

*Nor

1) Neither ~ nor ~ | Not~ nor~ ~도 (또한) 아니다[없다]

- He seemed neither surprised nor worried

2) (~이 아닌 것은) ~도 그렇다 [마찬가지이다]
- She doesn't like them and nor does Jeff

- "I'm not going" "Nor am I"

*Backlash (against sth)|(from sb) (사회 변화 등에 대한 대중의) 반발

*Indeed (긍정적인 진술, 대듭을 강조하여) 정말[확실히]

- It is indeed as I have heard 정말 듣던 대로다

DEAR SCARED: Say nothing prematurely. If your baby turns out to be mixed race, deal with it matter-of-factly. While there may be confusion, all you have to do is say that you and Tony plan to raise this child together in a loving family. If they wish to participate, they are welcome. If not, make it clear that you will do it without their help.

*prematurely (너무) 이르게 / 시기 상조로 / 조급하게

- Experts say nearly five million people die prematurely every year because of tabacco-related illnesses

*matter-of-factly 있는 그대로, 객관적으로

- He explained matter-of-factly

Your baby will not be alone. According to the Census Bureau, the population of mixed-race Americans grew 32 percent from 2000 to 2010.

My opinion

Divorce

Well, Nice to meet you guys

between Korean name and English name which one is better for you to call me?!

I think I'm not good at English that much...so I might be a little insecure and don't have much confidence now...!!

so If you spoke a bit slowly, I'd appreciate that...

Recently I read a book that says "The youth is not about a matter of age but the way of thinking"

and "Some people die 25 and aren't buried til 75" it means to stop thinking is almost like being dead.

it's just about the way of thinking!  

We can see some people who look younger than their own age, and usually I figure the way that they think is so different with ordinary people

Actually I don't know about Fashion that much but there are some old fashion designer or just in fashion

but they look young and cool, probably it's because they try to do something new! not like the olds

though people says you ought to act your age

Actually I googled "How old is too old"

and I couldn't get what I want and there were only "Am I too old for someting or to do something?"

so at that time I just think, if I hesitated to do new thing, I'd feel I'm way too old

it's also about the way of thinking

thesedays maybe we can be alive til about 100, so it's so important to keep your youth til the day you die

Baby's Adoption Will Leave Hole in Grandmother's Heart

DEAR ABBY: My teenaged daughter will be giving birth soon, and she has decided to place her baby for adoption. I have told her that whatever she decides, I will support her decision.

Here is the difficult part: This will still be my biological grandchild. When this beautiful child is lovingly handed over to the adoptive parents, I will be losing a grandchild. I am already in mourning.

Are there other grandparents out there who are going -- or have gone -- through this, and how are they coping? I already see a therapist, but I would still like to know how others are coping. -- UN-GRANDPARENT IN OHIO

DEAR UN-GRANDPARENT: I wish you had told me more about the kind of adoption your daughter has chosen for her baby. If it is an open adoption in which she will be kept informed about the child's milestones and progress, ask the adoptive couple if they would welcome you as an "extra" grandparent for the child. If I hear from others who have gone through this process, I will let you know, because I'm sure they will write to help you through your heartache.

give birth to a baby / be delivered of a baby

Hand (something/someone) over (to someone)

mourn (for sth/sb) (사람의 죽음을) 애도(슬퍼)하다, 애석해(애통해)하다

cope (with sth)  대처(대응)하다

*I'm in ~한 상태야, 상황이야

I'm in a hurry

I'm in trouble

I'm in love with her

I'm in my early thirties

I'm in the middle of saying something

I'm in charge of sales department

 low birthdrate, sterility, and etc about baby or pregnancy are problems in society

and singlemom who is teenager, killing, dumping their own child is problem at the same time

 some people are in trouble because they can't have a baby and others are in trouble because they have a baby without plan. it's so ironic

 even in Korea people doesn't think adoption is not that good, it's about custom. Koreans, especially the olds think the blood is important so it's hard to adopt a baby even though they can't have a baby

and worst thing is if it unveiled, it'd be big problem

 I'd seen some American drama and in that, adoption is so natural thing. and everyone lighten them up to raise the babies even though that drama is quite old now

 and while I was traveling I saw quite many adoptive family more than I thought the reason I know is the children was not same race with their parents

 it's so cool, they look just gorgeous

 and I think we're going there, like that

 I just don't want the babies who be borned without plan or from teenager to be killed

 They just can't do anything and just be killed by their parents, I think there is nothing sadder than this
