Y do you n I do the things we do asked:


Last night I told the guy I love how I have been feeling lately and how unhappy I have been. I told him how I felt second to everything in his life. He listened, did not comment and said that we would talk about it in the morning. This morning he told me that I wasn’t the only one disatisfied, that his mother,grandmother,sister and everyone expects him to do more and need him and want him. He says that he feels like he is being pulled in twenty different directions. I have been trying to understand, but I feel that since I am willing to spend my life with him and be only dedicated to him then I should get more time than others. His life is very complicated compared to mines, and I don’t have nearly as many responsibilities or people dependent on me, but I am unhappy. I love him so much, but I get tired of waiting for him to make time for me. What I imagined for our relationship was him seeing me at least once a week or so and us hanging out more but it’s nothing like that. It’s about to be two weeks and all I have done is talk to him on the phone. He told me that he doesn’t really enjoy hanging out with his grandma or family, that is where he has been these last weeks before school helping her in her shop because times are hard for him and he is trying to make money because the real esate business is bad but it doesn’t stop my feelings of neglect. He says that helping his grandma and being around his family right now is beneficial to him and putting money in his pocket which just spending time with me doesn’t and I can’t give him anything because I am school and dependent on my father. I don’t know what to do because I love him so much but I don’t want to keep having these feelings of disappointment because he can’t be with me. I know my expectations for him is a little high but I have imagined so long what I relationship would be like and now that we have one and it’s nothing I wanted or imagined all l I feel is sad,angry, and disappointed.

My emotions are playing tug-of-war. One solution my mind tells me is to leave him and wait or try to find someone who has more time to spend with me and make the mistake of not finding anyone,messing up something that wasn’t great but better then nothing, and end up being alone.

My second thought is to stay because I love him and accept that there will always be not enough time for me and maybe make the mistake of not moving on because there was someone out there better than him for me and regretting it later.

I don’t not want to have any regrets.Should I take my chances out there maybe finding someone or maybe not who will have more time for me or keep what I have and deal that things are what they are?

I need help, please people with experience and no jokes!

Modest median price gains in new and existing homes, a stable interest rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage, decreased housing starts and a stable unemployment rate are some of the features of the 2007 housing forecast provided by major trade group economists as reported by The Inman News.

NAR chief economist David Lereah expects new-home sales to fall from 1.07 million units sold in 2006 to 975,000 units in 2007, which is an 8.7% decline. He cites decreased new home construction as a large contributing factor to this change. The median new home price of $238,400 in 2006 is expected to increase by 1.3 percent to $241,400 in 2007.

NAR also predicts that existing home sales figures for 2006 to end around 6.47 million units, which is an 8.6% decline from 2005. The 2007 forecast for existing home sales is 6.43 million units. The median price of existing homes in 2006 was $223,700 and is expected to increase 1.7% to $227,500 in 2007.

Doug Duncan, chief economist for the Mortgage Bankers Association predicts the interest rates on 30-year fixed mortgages to stay around 6.5 percent, but mortgage originations to fall 14% to $2.1 trillion.

While Lereah predicts that the unemployment rate to stay at 4.7 percent, Duncan takes it higher and believes it may reach 5.2 percent by midyear 2007. However, he concurs with Lereah in predicting modest home price gains in new and existing homes for the coming year.

The housing forecast of The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) is in line with NAR and the Mortgage Bankers Association. According to David Seiders, Chief Economist at NAHB, the year 2007 will see the housing market re-adjust itself once the housing demand stabilizes, leading to a healthy balance between supply and demand.

Looking at the state level, the California Association of Realtors (CAR) projects that the median price of California homes will end 2006 around $560,700, and will decline in 2007 to $550,000 — a 1.7% drop. The number of units sold in California will end 2006 around 481,200, and is projected to decrease 447,500 in 2007. CAR predicts that the unemployment rate will stay around 5.1 percent, although interest rates on the 30-year fixed mortgage may hover around 6.7 percent in 2007.

The overall housing forecast for 2007 made by these four major real estate trade groups is not at all bad. Home buyers and investors planning to go ahead with their real estate activities can fare better with the help of a good real estate agent.
