Hi, just noticed this post here. Did you post it on the main page? You'll get lots more responses there. You're going to need to schedule 'the talk' with him and lay out what has been troubling you in this relationship. Try to do it in a calm, no

You do not state if you have a good physical relationship now. This brings a bonding and closeness like nothing else. If you love the person she is and you have a good physical relationship then you should feel contented and satisfied. Don't be

I agree - go with your gut instinct. Even if they deny it - they probably are up to something. I had this feeling after 20 years of marriage. He swore blind that there wasn't anyone. Then I found out he had been talking to another woman on

I think you can if you both want it. I have been married for 20 years and hubby went through a midlife crisis and said he wanted out. Nothing happened he still loved me, just had this feeling to escape and turned to another woman to confide in.

Whilst I am the first to say that you have to be happy in a relationship, you have not mentioned that you do not love your wife. You are a very lucky man to have a wife who has tolerated what you have put her through. Think about the shoe on the

i HAVE FELT WHAT YOU ARE FEELING. DID IT WORK OUT FOR YOU?

Myspace is just "myspace". Messages on there don't really mean anything. Are they friends? Do they know each other personally? You should have a talk with your girlfriend and let her know how you feel. See how she responds and acts after your talks.

You can be with someone and still very lonely and sad. I know i have been there in the past. Do you know when i was at my happiest? The five years i spend alone with just my young son. Honestly, i have a fabulous husband now but i still get times of

I feel very lonley in my relashionship. its been five years since we met. At first it was great to have "space" now that same space feels like an empty hole. I wanna have more time together. He says im negative and im not happy with what I have. H

I am going through that right now with my boyfriend of almost 2 years. I do give him everything. A hot meal every night, do things he enjoys, show him I am more attracted to him than ever, and he just doesn't have it there for me anymore. I do voice

Simple. Tell him, that you are perfectly healthy enough. If you can deal with a twelve year old, you can deal with another kid. If he needs more money, tell him to promoted or get another job! There are plenty of kids that wouldn't mind a

I think this is a common problem. The trouble, in my opinion, is that the drive difference is not as noticeable in the beginning. The relationship is knew, exciting and sexually charged. As time goes on, the routine sets in as well as life's o

Thanks miss_nell, some other folk on here have mentioned the housework problem, but we usually tidy up on a regular basis, so I think the problem might lay elsewhere! Richard – “that’s what real men do”. Well thanks for that enlightened comment.

hey there girl....i can understand ur frustration and confusion. i think as females it hurts us all to think that the men we love may be fantasizing of other women. i've been w/my bf of 2 yrs....and i know he has pics of him and his ex's on his c

i found out that my bf of 2 yrs cheated on me 2 weeks ago. i've known for exactly one week now...and i've decided to work things out w/him. he was on tour and it was someone from his past....which doesn't in ANY way justify cheating. he slept w/her

Ive been dating my b/f for over a month now and we've been having some issues. I see him maybe once a week, he doesnt call to cancel plans (he just doesnt show up and leaves me worried), and a lot of times he would rather play video games till 4 in

I really don't think you need any advice on this topic. She's already done the worst thing. Don't buy into this lunacy.

No, you shouldn't be worried, you should be a man. Her needing space is her way of telling you that she's not exclusive with you without being straight up with you. She could have met another guy that's exciting and fun and she's keeping you on

Hi, I have never heard of bith control for cramps. Birth control is birth control it's not 100%. I have been in the medical field for 8yr and know patients that is on the pill and pregnant. If you don't feel good about it dont do it.

Hi Orchid, It's my personal belief and i could be wrong but i think anyone who is saying things such as hinting at marriage so quickly into the actual relationship is probably someone who is fickle with their emotions. It difficult to gauge this

The only way you're going to have any answers to this question is by talking to her. You said yourself; you have found an "adult" - so why not have an adult conversation and talk to her about your expectations, hopes and dreams for the future - and

I believe it is only ever okay to have a limited contact with ex's especially when your in a new relationship and ESPECIALLY if your new parnter is uncomfortable with it. Ex's are ex's for a reason. If the relationship ended on mutual terms I think

I agree you definatyely have a good enough reason to be paraniod here, I think your girlfriend is unhappy within your relationship and the two of you need to sit down and have a big heart to heart and be completely honest with each other you should

It sounds like your husband is being unfaithfull in one way or another, he knows you are uncomfortable with the time he spends with this woman yet he continues to do it. I also had the same problem with my partner and it split us up a few times and

I think you should count your blessings and move forward. He has given you so many hints that he is not going to be there for you with all that you are going through. The signals you are getting from him don't remotely point to love. I know that

you really messed up! and if he doesnt love you and your child why is he still here,? give him time, get rid of your old contacts if love him you will. carnt you understand why this guy carnt trust you you left your husband to be with him but also

He is obviously interested in you and is 'testing you out'. But he is doing it in an increasingly creepy way, and I would certainly question his morals. Discussing you with the builders is SO out of order, and you have every right to be furious

Hi there, I hope that I can be of some assisstance?. I read your article and everytime I was reading your responses to his actions, I felt myself wanting to pull you away out of the situation you are in with this step-brother. You are all a

Excellent words as usual Dr. Pete. You know? I'm a fool for not reading the thread properly. I thought the poster said he was 31 for some reason... [sigh]

hello make him prove to you that he has given the booze n drugs up first because you dont want to get hurt again then if you feel it is the right thing to do get back with him if not say no.

Hi, I tend to agree with Lillaum above, I have many married and single friends who I go on holidays with and it can be a perfectly happy arrangement. Trust is the byword here - are you jealous of what she may get up to on holiday? Are her frie

Well seems like this is screwed up from the beginning. I don't know if what you did was considered cheating if he knew about it and 'allowed' it. Are you two swinging? Your grammar is not... I'm a tad lost. Hmm... I wouldn't give 'advice'

im havin the exact same problem with my boyfriend - altho its alot more complicated than yours! i met him when i was 13 and im 25 now - we were toghether for 2years but he was very unaffectionate i loved him with all my heart and thought that we

You should be a 100% sure before you end a long standing relationship. If your suspisions are not correct than that could jeopardize your relationship.

You shouldn't base your current boyfriend's actions from that of your past boyfriends. It wouldn't be fair to him. So if he does chat with other females, emails them, etc, you will get jealous and scream and yell and so on and so forth. That sort

Ask your girlfriend if it would be appropriate to try new sexual things (i.e. threesomes, role playing, or mixing it up with a few toys or costumes). You sound like you obviously love her and ultimately want to be with her in the end. Do not mess

I think you already know what to do. You should be with the one you want to be with. You should tell the other girl straight up what the truth is. If you don't, the truth will come around and bite you in the butt.

I used to live in Puerto RIco. My wife is from there. By the way, that won't solve anything. Whatever you do, don't go and "just do it and get it over with" The word JUST is a strange one. That seems to be a word used to minimize or rationalize

well i am in the same thing but my boyfriend keeps stopping out all the time and i dont now wat to do i am so depresed with everything i am so close to leaving him but i love him too much but i dont thnk he loves me what can i do please help

Ricochet Television is looking for couples to take part in a Channel 4 programme about love quests. Do you want your partner to prove their love to you before you'll commit? Perhaps they've let you down in the past but now they want to turn it

It must be hard for you to be the one left at home - and this is perhaps the root of the problem? From a male point of view (and I can only guess!) - he wants to come home and relax after work and enjoy your company, but perhaps you need more from

Hi there, I wasn't sure if this was the best place to post this, and I didn't wnat to change the topic of the other person's question here, but I was hoping to find some advice for my problem...I was engaged before with this Muslim Egyptian guy ,

I feel so bad for you, not only is she going through the stress, but you are too with all the added responsibilties. I hope everything works out for you both. My best wishes to you and your wife.

See my post "My problem - Hall sex" At least, you do not have financial considerations or children (whose welfare is of paramount importance) in your problem. It sounds - and this may be incorrect - that he is unwilling to make a commitment. A

I know you love him and it's hard to leave him, but you should at least get away from him for a while. Force him to be on his own. He's catching a free ride with you, and you deserve better. Don't let him just sit on his butt anymore, it's not fair

Most of my exs have come off the net and I have to echo Irish and Smeedle here. Dichotomy between words and actions is never a good sign in any context but it is especially bad in an online context cause often word is all you have to go on...

you both want different things, you want a relationship that has love making in it, with both of you giving and recieving pleasure, he wants sex when he can be bothered and then it is just one sided. You aint compatable so ditch him and move it on,

Thats the type of loving relationship i want. but you dont always get what you want.

Well, first of all I think the forums is a place to share ideas rather than ask about problems - that's what the main site is for. Second, to answer your question, I think he's doing that over the phone because he feels protected. He feels a lot
