I'm the love of his life but he won't marry me!

Q.   My problem is this. My boyfriend, whom I live with, who says Im the love of his life, will not marry me. I decided to lay off him but the only way to do this is to emotionally disconnect from him so that I can deal. In my eyes, not wanting to marry ...

A.   22 September 2009: Talk to him about his views on marriage before you discard him! Lots of people just dont think marriage is that important these days, and I for one think that its unnecessary to adopt the labels of husband and wife, so long as both people in the ... (read in full...)

A.   21 September 2009: It all depends on him really - does he actually seem like the sort of guy who would act like this? Its not always the case; my boyfriend is 20 and I'm 17, and its never an issue. Just talk to him about it, but I'm guessing that as he's with you he's... (read in full...)

A.   20 September 2009: You really do have to tell him - if for no other reason than this: do you want to start off a relationship with a lie? it would be much worse for him to find out a few months into the relationship, and start to mistrust you and wonder what else you ... (read in full...)

A.   20 September 2009: There are many ways you could go about having a child, without holding some poor woman in a loveless marriage formed purely because you want kids. You'd also be depriving yourself of the chance to find love with a man. I think the best idea woul... (read in full...)

A.   15 September 2009: You should absolutely find out the truth and then tell him whats really going on. You cant let him commit himself to a child that isnt his under false pretences that he is the biological father, and your child should have the right to know who thei... (read in full...)

A.   15 September 2009: Having unprotected sex without getting pregnant before does not mean you are in some way immune! From the sounds of it, its more than possible, its probable that you are pregnant. If you turn out not to be pregnant this time, i strongly advise that... (read in full...)

A.   14 September 2009: q1605, I've never heard such a narrowminded response to somebody asking for advice. Mindless stereotyping isnt going to help this girl, and I dont understand how you intend to justify your claims that teens today are less responsible that those "in ... (read in full...)

A.   14 September 2009: It sounds like your relationship is already struggling, and is nowhere near strong enough to cope with the challenges which come with having a child; even if there werent the uncertainty surrounding its paternity. I would suggest ending the ... (read in full...)

Q.   Hey, I don't really know where to start but i'm 15, nearly 16 and I have never had a boyfriend or kissed anyone or anything. It's not that I don't want to it's just that nothing has happened for me. Yes I have been asked out but I have said no ...

A.   13 September 2009: The best thing to do is just not to worry about it and go with the flow :) I wanted my first kiss to be special so I waited until I found the right person, even though I thought this might mean I'd look like a total novice to him! I had my first... (read in full...)

Q.   I'm late 20's and never had a girlfriend and don't think I'll ever have one. When I was a child I was often called ugly by girls, this made me resent them, and I never so much as bothered try to talk to a female about going on a date. During my...

A.   3 September 2009: I don't find it that odd that you're 28 and havent had a relationship, and could deal with your past - i think you'd find many women who would sympathise, or have had the same experiences themselves! You are definitely not destined to be sing... (read in full...)

Why are parents unable to stop underage dating and sex?

Q.   Hi, I have been reading different questions on this site for a few weeks. I see that there are a lot of teen age dating and sex questions. Teen age, while being most enjoyable, is also the most risky and stupid time. It is the time when one ca...

Long Distance Relationship - Girlfriend acting weird

Q.   I and my girlfriend are in a long distance relationship since 3 years and 2 months. In the beginning, everything was so blossomy and absolutely superb. She didn’t have enough very good friends as such, and she always used to come to me, and discuss ...
