Hello there, my name is Abigail Bradbury. (Abbi to my friends) I am nearly 20 years old and I live near Blackpool, Lancashire. I have a 10 month old little girl and she is my entire life. I have a lot of free time because I am a stay at home Mum. I am using my spare time to give advice to you lovely people on this website. I have no qualifications to give you expert advice but being an "agony aunt" has been a dream of mine for years and years. I love listening to people, I like typing and trying to give advice is my favourite hobby. I hope my advice helps! :)

A.   16 September 2012: You probably feel embarrassed or feel as though you're being silly - you're not. You need to make sure you're ready. Losing your virginity is a huge deal!! I was 16 when I lost mine, and I'm still with the guy now and we have a one year old. I'... (read in full...)

A.   15 September 2012: Sorry to be harsh sweetie, but why break up something that is clearly making you really happy for something that rests on a maybe? Now, ordinarily I'd say follow your heart. However, if this guy wants you, let him chase you. You've had your hear... (read in full...)

A.   15 September 2012: It sounds like he has got the perfect life. Sorry, I am being brutally honest and I know it's hard. But honestly? He gets to fool around with his mates and come and go as he pleases, then he gets the nice woman to settle down with when he clicks h... (read in full...)

A.   15 September 2012: I think as you get older, sex becomes less important. It's not about being at it like rabbits anymore, I think love goes deeper then and it's more about settling down. It doesn't necessarily mean she loves you any less. If you really are concerned ... (read in full...)

A.   13 September 2012: The other advise is really good. Don't freak out as this sort of topic is a tough one to address. It will be very embarrassing for your son and it could make things really awkward. If you confront it straight away he will most likely snap and say ... (read in full...)

A.   13 September 2012: It sounds as though this person is stirring. If they're watching what's going on in your life then they obviously have too much spare time. They're probably bored with their life and need some juicy gossip so read too much into things. The other ... (read in full...)

A.   13 September 2012: Ok, this sounds like a common problem. When you're married I think some things become routine. I don't mean this to sound awful and I'm not for one moment saying you don't love her, however.. When you first meet a woman it's exciting. You've reac... (read in full...)

A.   16 July 2012: The other answer was pretty much spot on. What's to say you HAVE to go back to yours. He wouldn't mind I'm sure, else he wouldn't keep inviting you to his would he? Take him out for a meal. Somewhere quiet so you can still chat. I know nothing beat... (read in full...)

Should I contact a long lost love?

Q.   I am thinking about messageing a guy I went out with a long time ago through one of the social networking sites. I think of him often and would love to reconnect with him, the only thing stopping me is the fear that he will reject me or not respond. ...

A.   16 July 2012: What do you really have to lose? It's online so it's not like he can reject you to your face. Go for it I say. "Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game." Too true. Just message him. Don't think about it too much and just... (read in full...)

A.   15 July 2012: It sounds like you've been together for so long that it's routine and you have become very "comfortable" with each other. He obviously thinks you're at the stage now where you can just be happy around each other and not need sex a lot. This is ... (read in full...)

A.   15 July 2012: I know exactly how you feel love, I went through the same thing. :( It's horrid once you start thinking these things. I was the most paranoid person ever. You never truly lose the paranoia, it just gets easier honey. He hasn't cheated, he loves you ... (read in full...)

A.   14 July 2012: You seem "comfortable" with him. It's routine, you have a family and so you've faced the fact you have a commitment to stay with this guy forever. Ok so if you left him it'd be bad for a while, it'd be hard for the children and it could turn bitter, ... (read in full...)

A.   14 July 2012: I can't say "I understand" and I'm not 'qualified' to give advice on this situation because I DON'T understand. I dread to think what you're going through. But I will be honest, and I will try to help. You need to find support from others around y... (read in full...)

A.   14 July 2012: Ask yourself this... Even if she does want to sleep with you; do you really want to get in to that. She's married right? So you could destroy a whole family for the sake of a one night stand. It sounds as if she likes the attention and she knows you ... (read in full...)

Q.   Hi all, My boyfriend of 4 months has recently been acting weird (the past 2 weeks). He hasn't shown any affection, he has been cancelling plans to see me and he has avoided calls, simply texting me that he needs to think and that he needs space. ...

A.   14 July 2012: What right does this guy have to make you wait to see if his issues will affect things! You are right, you have a right to know where you stand. Call him and tell him how it's making you feel. You can't wait around because it's hurting you. Fair ... (read in full...)

A.   14 July 2012: You two sounds so wrong for each other. I know you say you love her but this seems like a destructive relationship. You were violent and she can't be faithful. What is left? I know it's hard to hear, and I'm so sorry for being this blunt but I want... (read in full...)

A.   13 July 2012: I think people saying you need to see someone professional about this is a little harsh... It's not a psychological problem it's a life choice. If you have experience of dating men your age and it going wrong then obviously you are going to tarnish ... (read in full...)

Why is it that I always like guys who don't like me and ignore those who really like me?

A.   12 July 2012: You shouldn't go for just one particular age. Just go with the flow and find someone you are compatible with. Maybe you feel that people your age are just too immature and you want someone older because you feel that they would respect you more, and ... (read in full...)

A.   11 July 2012: Look, you have to realise hun that this ex is purely that for a reason!! This is in the past. He was obviously hurt by her leaving, as anyone would be. It does not mean that you are not adequate enough for him at all. You need to support him and ... (read in full...)

My friend cheated on her husband, should I tell him?

Q.   I have a "friend" who has admitted to me that she has cheated on her husband before they got married last Sept. Though I do enjoy her company, I'm not close with her. I was rather shocked that she would tell me something like this because my fiancee ...

A.   9 July 2012: If you are not close to this woman then what do you have to lose? Yes you may feel it isn't your place to tell him but like you said he deserves to know. If someone knew your partner had cheated, you'd be angry if they didn't tell you right? How ... (read in full...)

A.   9 July 2012: Wow. This is a strange one. I have a 10 month old baby girl and it brought a tear to my eye reading this, perhaps because I am a Mother myself. This is so sad hun. 3 months and you've barely held your baby?! This is not right at all. I agree wit... (read in full...)

Would it be odd to want to be "friends with benefits" with my ex?

Q.   Would it be odd to want to be "friends with benefits" with my ex? Back when we were dating I asked him if it was okay for us to become "friends with Benefits" if we were ever to break up and he said yes. It's a been a few months now since our break ...

A.   9 July 2012: You will end up getting attached and being hurt, especially if he finds another girl. Don't be so desperate that you will just give yourself to someone just because you are lonely chick. Wait and find someone who respects you. x... (read in full...)

A.   9 July 2012: You seem very naive. This is not a bad thing. But you will get hurt if you fall so quickly. Do not give yourself so readily to a man. You will regret it. Just go with the flow. He is right. There is no rush you are young. If it's meant to be then ... (read in full...)

A.   9 July 2012: ... DNA. I know you're probably looking for an easy answer hun but you need to be sure. Yes, you can try and calculate dates and stuff but you'll never truly be sure. I'm afraid this is what happens when you have sex within a few months and can'... (read in full...)

How can I find out if he'd like to go for a drink with me, I don't even know whether or not he's gay?

Q.   OK. This might sound comparatively trivial in light of some other posts, and perhaps a bit of a cliche as well. Anyway. There's a guy in a shop in my town. He's very attractive, has a great smile... you know the thing. I've been in there severa...

A.   9 July 2012: You say you're not confident but darling, you will only gain confidence by experiences. Bite the bullet. Talk to him. I'm not saying jump in straight away and ask him out but start talking and ask about his life etc. Just make friendly conversation. ... (read in full...)

A.   9 July 2012: It sounds like everything has kind of become routine for you two. Living together is hard and it adds pressure. You are confined to four walls together, and it can make rows seem so much bigger than they actually are. If you ever doubt your hap... (read in full...)

Q.   Hi all! Thanks for taking out time to read my problem and helping me out with it. My problem is as follows: So I know this person,A, since we were kids. we are family friends and we've grown up together. But during middle school he we...

A.   9 July 2012: Maybe it's just the fantasy of what COULD be between you that is making you think there is something there. If you think you're too alike in the fact you both have very similar traits, and you are doubting whether you'd be good together then clearly ... (read in full...)

Q.   I have been dating a man for about 6 months, we were friends for 6 months before that. He lived with a woman for 15-17 years before we meet, (they broke up 1 year before we started dating) At some point they became engaged. I do not know much ...

A.   9 July 2012: Relationships are all about honesty. It's only natural that you want to know all about his past and his relationships. However, you must realise that exes are "exes" for a reason and that he is obviously moving on. He may well be insecure if she is ... (read in full...)

Q.   I've met someone four years ago, we stayed together for 2 years then kept going in and out of the relationship. I can't forget, I can't move on. I need to kill this love in my heart. The mind got forget but the heart just won't let go. I know it is ...

A.   9 July 2012: Only you will know what is best. It depends what your feelings on life are, and whether you believe that "life is too short" or that "people in the past are there for a reason". Are you a risk taker? You need to ask yourself whether the cons... (read in full...)

Q.   I've been with my boyfriend for 8 1/2 yrs and I recently discovered he is chatting with women from the Phillippines via webcam again. This is something we got into several arguments about 4 years ago (and he promised to stop) and now I've discovered ...

A.   11 March 2012: THIS IS SO NOT YOU OVER REACTING! He sounds so manipulating. Sounds like if you confront him he will turn it on you, and make you think you're being silly. Get out honey. You've been with him a very long time, I know that it's easy for me to say l... (read in full...)

A.   11 March 2012: Well honey, unfortunately you can't "kill" your feelings; you can't choose who you love. You obviously had many good times with this person, many good memories. and that's obviously over riding the fact that they are an "ex". 'Time is a healer' ... (read in full...)

I said yes to going out with him but it doesn't feel right! Have I made the right choice?

Q.   My good friend asked me out today and I said yes, but it doesnt feel right. He's like my brother, and its just too awkward. Have I made the right choice? Im 13. I dont actually feel anything. Should I just see where it goes?...

A.   14 February 2012: Don't just stay with him just because you don't want to hurt his feelings. It's more cruel to lead him on. The more time you spend as his girlfriend the more he'll grow to love you. If you don't feel anything now, you can't make yourself feel ... (read in full...)
