When online guy found out I was having a FWBR he got cold and then ended things

Q.   Ok so heres my story. I started chatting to a guy who was recently separated on a dating website for a few weeks. It then progressed to texts every day. After about 3 weeks we decided to meet in person. It was a bit of uncoventional first date as he ...

A.   17 September 2010: It sounds like he just isnt the kind of person who thinks casual sex is ok, and as you do, he felt you weren't compatible. Its a shame, but it is a clash of values, which would probably come up again if you were together. Stop the nasty texts and ... (read in full...)

I'm not a virgin but I want a virgin wife

Q.   Okay, so... I have been very active in my life, more so than most people. I put it down to my confidence levels but many put it down to me being an ass. Except for this I'm always good, never harm anything or anyone and any chance I get I help ...

A.   5 August 2010: Hi, thanks for your followup. RE your reply to me: "Accountable, you're right about the first part, but also failed to see that if I thought she was a bad person I would have ended it long ago." I am not saying that I think you think she is a bad ... (read in full...)

A.   4 August 2010: The 'kind of a person [you] sound like' is a massive hypocrite. The way I see it, you can hardly hold a woman you see as a potential partner to an ideal of chastity when you in no way adhere to that value yourself. Anyway, regarding your curr... (read in full...)

A.   4 August 2010: Only if you both discuss it, and he's fine with it, and you'd be fine with him having one too. I'm in a long distance relationship, have been for a year and a half, and would never dream of having a FWB "on the side". Whatever you want to call it, ... (read in full...)

A.   28 June 2010: I imagine she's relying on his honesty about the matter, considering she obviously wants to be in a very stable and loving relationship at the time (in which the man should be comfortable to be open enough with her about whether he is, or is not, a ... (read in full...)

I accidentally told my husband's family that he abused me and now everythings messed up, how can I fix this?

Q.   Hi. My husband recently has gotten a little physcally abusive, and has forced blow jobs on my a couple of times when he was drunk.. I guess I wanted to get it off my chest, but I was just going to deal with it. I already forgave him. But then las...

A.   27 June 2010: This isnt your fault at all, he brought it on himself by abusing you in the first place. Not all abuse starts big and dramatic - "a little physical abuse" now could easily develope into serious case. His family is right, the best thing to do is get ... (read in full...)

A.   27 June 2010: Move on and find someone else, shes made it very clear that nothing will happen between you, so don't waste your time wanting to be with her when you could be out finding another girl whos great for you :) ... (read in full...)

Why is she angry with me for trying to protect her?

Q.   Heres the story.. My girlfriend and I were at a bar/dance spot in town with friends yesterday. By the end of the night things got out of control because a few guys started fighting the bouncers. Naturally everyone started rushing to watch the figh...

A.   26 June 2010: She might have felt you were being over-protective for no reason, is that a trend in your relationship? Certainly until she actively involved herself by making that stupid comment late in the night, she didn't need to be herded out of the bar. It ... (read in full...)

Turban wearing man seeks honest opinions

Q.   So I moved into the states when I was 10 and now that I am getting older (in my 20s) I am finding that finding love is one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. My question is for all women. I am a turban wearing man with a trimmed beard. I...

A.   26 June 2010: The only reason I can see for it "turning girls off" is that they might worry about the religious aspect, and how that might affect the future relationship. It is a very extroverted symbol of a personal faith, and that might scare some girls who ... (read in full...)

He keeps cheating on me and lying about it, why?

Q.   I have been dating this guy for almost a year now. It is very clear that he and I have a lot of passion for one another. We have everything in common and spend a lot of time together. To make a long story short ... I started noticing signs here and ...

A.   26 June 2010: He keeps doing it because you keep putting up with it. He's proven himself to be unfaithful and untrustworthy, and because you have stayed with him despite the cheating you have effectively told him his behaviour is something you will accept. C... (read in full...)

Why do ex-wives always blame 'other women' for the dissolution/destruction of their marriage?!

Q.   My boyfriend told me he was single when we first met. Then pretty soon I get a phone call from a woman claiming to be his wife! I confronted him- He said he didn't tell me he was married because they were already separated. He hasn't lived with her ...

A.   22 June 2010: Hi, I haven't been in your situation before, but my take on it (from what you've written) is that despite the separation, she felt they would still be together in the future. Separation is not, in my eyes, divorce; it is a lot less final than that ... (read in full...)

A.   19 June 2010: I think the fear you feel when you think of a future without him is a more a fear of the unknown than a fear of losing him. It is a big step to take, letting go of someone; things will feel unfamiliar and your future will seem uncertain, which is ... (read in full...)

How do I approach her to see if she's ready to take our relationship to the next level?

Q.   NEED TEENAGE GIRL ADVICE Hello, first off I'd like to explain my story some and then get down to the question. Ok, so me and my girlfried have been dating since I was 13(16 now) and me and her have been talking about having sex for quite some t...

A.   19 June 2010: Like you say, youve been waiting for 3 years so I dont think you'll ever look back and think that you rushed it :) awkwardness usually only comes if its something that was unplanned, or happened too quickly, or if one person felt forced into it. I'm ... (read in full...)

A.   19 June 2010: If you chose to forgive him and try to restart your relationship, you can't blame him for what you did with the Canadian. I agree with you, we cant choose who we fall in love with, but when you get into a relationship you are committing to one pers... (read in full...)

A.   18 June 2010: This is completely out of order. Essentially hes just cheating, but claiming it is justifiable because he is sexually frustrated. I am willing to bet that if you told him you were feeling the same and would also schedule an escort for yourself, he ... (read in full...)

A.   18 June 2010: Ok, the first thing I think you need to do is gently break it off with your boyfriend... I know you dont want to hurt him, but in the long run you are hurting him more by staying with him when you don't love him, let him go and find love with ... (read in full...)

A.   18 June 2010: A relationship is supposed to enrich your life and make you happier. In this case it sounds like you'd be happier alone! He isn't allowing you any freedom, and unless you can communicate with him and he decides to change his ways it sounds like this ... (read in full...)

Why is it an insult to be labeled a feminist?

Q.   Why is it an insult to be labeled a feminist now? A true feminist wants equality in every aspect. Why is that so bad? A true feminist never says things like, "the world would be better if women were in charge." A feminist just wants women and men to ...

A.   18 June 2010: I think its because plenty of feminists have twisted and turned from gender equality, to female superiority. I am proud to say I am a feminist in the sense that I believe in gender equality; but I can understand why feminism has gained negative... (read in full...)

A.   13 June 2010: Can I ask which part of it bothers you, the fact that she has a sexual past or the fact that she lied to you about it? I don't think she deserves to be judged for her past, which was obviously just an experimental phase which she matured from and ... (read in full...)

A.   13 June 2010: I think youve got the right idea holding off on the sexual side of the relationship for a little while. I am glad you're both happy :) but that is one step further into the taboo, and while thats exciting, if its found out and your family are ... (read in full...)

A.   13 June 2010: I would agree with CaringGuy, I really don't think the on-again-off-again thing leads to stable longterm relationships. Youve both proven youre not ready to settle down and be with each other right now - she kissed another guy, and you slept with ... (read in full...)

A.   13 June 2010: Where I live, if people pass out/fall asleep with their shoes on, it gives other people at the party licence to do whatever they want to them.. obviously not like rape, just humiliating things like drawing on their face etc. One time a friend passed ... (read in full...)

Why do men never buy me presents?

A.   11 June 2010: I think he makes a lot of fair points - paying his childs maintenance is more important than buying presents. I understand why it would hurt that he was willing to buy his ex things and not you, but I gather from what youve said that that isnt beca... (read in full...)

Does age matter in a fwb relationship?

Q.   Last Summer, I pulled a 25 year old chick at a music festival. It was my first sex for about a year and apparently, she enjoyed it too. I'm only 19 and I think the age difference made it even hotter. Since then, I've been a sorta 'booty call' for...

A.   11 June 2010: I dont really see why it would become an issue, if neither of you are planning to commit. Don't worry about the lack of experience - if she keeps calling you, you're clearly getting it right! Just enjoy it and don't overthink it, I'd say. Good luck ... (read in full...)
