My girlfriend and I are going on vacation with my family but my parents are being overly strict. My dad practically yelled at me saying that any foot out of line such as us going off on our own for a bit, would result in us leaving early. This seems too strict and untrusting because my girlfriend's parents trust me more than that because they'll leave me in their house with my girlfriend without worry. I've never done anything to violate my parents trust so I don't know why they're being this way. Any ideas on how to change their minds?

We've been dating for almost two months and there's just one thing about her that bothers me and it's that she doesn't console me when I am in emotional hurt. Now I'm not the best boyfriend, I have used sarcasm against her or have joked around a bit too much every now and again but all and all I do my best. Whenever she is sick or sad I've been there if not physically, on the phone, asking what's wrong, do u want to talk about it or let it be. Never pushy but never not there, I've even told her I'm always there for her whenever she needs me.

But whenever I'm not in a great mood she will either ignore it when I bring it up or ignore it once she's knows its not her fault. She rarely asks how I'm doing even though I've asked her to and I'm at a loss for what to do. The last thing I want to do is push too far and lose her but I also can't let this issue slide as it's important to me. What can I do?

I'm currently a junior in highschool and am researching for my dream of becoming a seal. I, however, need to know what a good back up naval career would be so that in the event that I am not selected right out of school, I have a career to fall back on until I can go into training.

My mum and dad have recently been arguing a lot but they stopped last week. However, my brother and my mum think it would be a good idea for my dad and mum to go to marriage counseling and they want my brother and me to approach him about it. I however, am not comfortable with topics like these nor do I have any idea on how to approach it. If someone could please give me some advice that would be great because I'm lost and my brother is no help because he's a jerk.
