husband wants me and the children to live with his friends?

We have a three yr old and a 10 yr old, we have been married for five years. and have had our own place, when we moved to California his best friend moved into our tiny apartment, it was a joint thing where we were helping eachother out for the very short term and wasn’t so bad except it went on way to long, he stayed with us for two years on and off.
Ok..a month ago his best friend and his wife came to “visit” with us, i get along good with the wife and all was well, except my husbands friend lost his green card and cant leave until he gets a new one, so now what was a visit, has morphed into something else, it also coincided with the stay of my father, he rarely comes out to see me and when he does I treasure the time I get with him but my hubbys mates have taken over it seems, things have calmed down a bit, only because I threw a fit about and told my hubby that I dont want his friends over constantly, I like most of his mates but I like my privacy, I like to watch crappy TV and eat chips in my underwear without judgement, I like to practice on my guitar and sing loud, I like to do things on my own time.
ok, so now his friend and the wife may be staying my husband wants us all to move in together, even add some other people into the mix, I do not want to, I am willing to compromise as that what being in a good marriage is about but, I really dont wanna give up my privacy or end up being the “mother” to a bunch of his friends, that who even though I like them, have not grown up yet and still dont really live in reality.
I also do most of the stuff round the house and earn the most money.
I dont wanna hurt my husband feelings about what he thinks is a great idea but I wanna explain to him (without talking to him like a child) that these situations dont really work out and that as a family of four we should have our OWN place.
he says we will never be able to afford a cool big place on our own, I am confused I would love a big place but I am really really nervous about moving in with others, am I right to be sceptical of it working?

She has a boyfriend, but has feelings for me. What should I do?

I’ve been talking to this girl, Robin, for over a month now. She told me she had a bf last week and still wanted to be friends. We talk every day and are very close as friends. Robin’s best friend, Mya, told me that Robin found me very attractive and was going to break up with her bf to be with me before I started bringing up other women to her to make her jealous. I told Robin that I was upset that she had a new bf because I wanna be with her so I lied about talking to other women to make her jealous (stupid, I know but we all make mistakes). I explained to her that I wanted to be with her and didn’t know how to tell her because I knew she had a bf. Robin admitted that she got mad when I brought up other girls and long story short, we both know that we have feelings for one another now. We agreed that if things don’t work out with her and her boyfriend we’d be together. We are going out this weekend, AS FRIENDS, with my buddy and her best friend, Mya (something like a group date). I plan to pursue other women and if I find one I like work towards a relationship with her. I want to tell Robin that I don’t wanna pursue a friendship with her because I know that if I had a girlfriend I wouldn’t want her talking to a guy that she knew liked her and wanted to be with her. I wanna be a man and make it clear to her and tell her that I still wanna be there for her as a friend if her bf hurts her and she needs someone to talk about it with. At the same time I don’t want her calling me acting flirtatious with me when I get a new girlfriend. I feel that Robin is holding on to me and has given me the opportunity to compete with her boyfriend. That’s breaking my #1 rule with women. I wanna do the right thing and tell her that I’m stepping out of the picture to allow her and her bf to be happy. I feel that she views me as a friend right now because I told her how I feel and that she thinks that I’m always going to be around. I think she has some feelings for me only because she is physically attracted to me. She let me know that we may have a future together but at the same time she is all over her boyfriend. Common sense tells me that when I walk away, IF she really cares for me in the way that I want her to, she’ll break up with him and chase me. Am I on the right track? I don’t want a girl with low interest. If I pursue other females I’ll lose a little interest in her and naturally become less available to her. Women want what they can’t have and miss what they treasure. She obviously sees something in me to be keeping around like this. I strongly feel that if I stop chasing her and attract her I can’t lose her. I want to make the right decisions now while she has some level of interest. Does anyone have a better plan?

any suggestions for a word or phrase tattoo?

this will be my second tat. i got 5 stars tattooed on my hip when i lost 5 friends within a 3 week period. that was one year ago. i have been through a lot in my life, but i don’t let it hold me down. after losing my best friend, i have tried to live and treasure every moment given to me. any suggestion for inspiration?

My friend Nick is turning 17, is this a good idea?

So my friend is turning 17 and he is a low key guy. He doesnt want the whole world to know its his special day. His other best friend is having his dad get him out of the house while she makes him dinner, so it will be a surprise dinner at his own house from her. I on the other hand, need to do something way, way better. so here is my idea…He like starbucks, chipotle, and cheesecake factory. So we get out of school early on the day of his birthday. I was thinking of sending him on a “treasure hunt” with me in the car, but he only can ask me for help 5 times. I would start with giving him clues to get him to chipotle, then once there…he would recieve clues to another place and there find another thing, until we ended up at the cheesecake facorty with his presents, where i would buy him dinner. So along the way he would get git cards to all the places we went and so on…is this a good idea? to cheesy? difficult? help!!! please and thank you!!! :]

Advice about my rare baseball?

I recently caught a baseball at a baseball game, and it was actually hit by my favorite player! My best friend happens to know the website designer of my favorite team and has gotten me several signed items in the past through his connection. I was considering having him get my baseball signed by the player for me, but part of me worries it might get lost, or I might not get it back. Maybe it is paranoia or maybe it is intuition.

Should I keep the ball as is and treasure it for what it already is, or should I attempt to get it signed, and set aside my worries/feelings?
