A.   24 October 2009: No, he's not right. The fact your boyfriend was turned on by you crying while he was using you is pretty disturbing, in all honesty. If you hadnt made it clear that you didnt want to do it, then yes I can understand that he was just wanting to "try ... (read in full...)

A.   22 October 2009: In total agreement with GrimmReality - that might not be what you want to hear, but really. This other man has invested 7 years of his life in her, and out of the blue you are taking everything away from him - expect no sympathy for what you are ... (read in full...)

A.   22 October 2009: Aw, that is a tough one.. perhaps it is best to just leave him to it for a while then, if you trust that he'll come back to you once things are sorted out? At least he knows that you're there if he needs you. Alternatively you could try to ... (read in full...)

A.   21 October 2009: To be honest I don't really like the way you seem proud of "calling her out for her own stupidity and making her feel kinda foolish as punishment". If you continue to make her feel stupid for every little thing, she'll either grow to resent you for ... (read in full...)

A.   27 September 2009: I think you need to consider what it is about marriage which is so appealing to you, and then try to convey that to him. Personally I do think you're overreacting a bit; but that is only because of my belief that a strong and committed relation... (read in full...)
