I was insensitive and hurt my g/f. She broke up with me and I don't know how to make it up to her

Q.   My ex broke up with me yesterday. She was my first relationship after 4 years. I was her first boyfriend. Weve been together for 3 months and in that time span ive already made her cry 5 times.She's such a sweet and pure girl. She gave me all her ...

A.   31 July 2018: Firstly, this isn't biblical times and even then women don't have a seal to be popped like a coffee jar, so no blood means the sum total of fuck all. Tampons, riding horses, falling awkwardly, or absolutely nothing could have been the cause of 'no ... (read in full...)

My girlfriend left, I want to fix it but she is ignoring me.

Q.   My girlfriend of 12 years has just left me. For the last 4 years we've lived together in our own place after a spell living with her family, we moved in shortly after my father passed away. I really struggled to deal with my father's passing...

A.   16 April 2018: I think if she is not contacting you, and is not responding to your attempts you should leave it. Do not contact her. I think you have had you chance to be a good man to her and if you love her as you say you do you should put her stove yourself and ... (read in full...)

A.   24 March 2018: If you aren't happy now, after one year with your relationship, when you are still in the honeymoon period then it isn't going to get any better. Finish it now and find someone who you really care about. But, you can never treat someone 'too goo... (read in full...)

I don’t want to hurt this new man, and I also don’t want to wind up in a controlling relationship! Advice please!

Q.   Hello, so I have two questions, both are related. First a bit of background, I was in a relationship with (and married to) a man who ended up being a narcissist and was abusive. (verbally, mentally, sometimes physically) We were together 7 and half...

A.   22 March 2018: Listen to Honeypie, she is speaking the truth. This guy will never trust you and you will find yourself desperately trying to hold yourself to ever more ridiculous standards to avoid his suspicions and disappointment. I bet next time your kid ... (read in full...)

I'm feeling under pressure and trapped.

Q.   Hi all, I have an issue really bugging me at the moment and beginning to stress me out. I'll give a little bit of backstory: I'm 26 years old, recently gotten together with my first ever GF and everything was going swimmingly and I was very ...

A.   22 March 2018: All this pressure is all of your own making as you know. I think it could be two fold. You might feel disempowered- like the relationship train is running away without you driving it. That's never the case. Although you are a team of two, ending the ... (read in full...)

With all the blocking and unblocking on social media, I don't even know what to expect anymore

Q.   So I've been seeing a guy for about three months now. The relationship was wonderful. We were both falling in love and had so much fun together. We met each other's friends and family and seen each other just about every day. A week ago we got into ...

A.   22 March 2018: If ever there was textbook illustration of how not to do it. You guys have done it. A text argument 'for days'? Never never never argue or try to get your point of view across by text. It is the lowest, least nuanced, most shitty sounding form of c... (read in full...)

My husband had an affair and now I can't sleep with him

Q.   MOD NOTE: two questions combined into one Hi everyone. I've been married for nearly 6 years. We have a three year old son. Last year my husband and I had some issues where I focussed too much on one my hobbies and spent less time with him. He t...

A.   21 March 2018: I think your time is up. If you didn't fancy him before you certainly aren't going to now. It seems like your marriage was in trouble before this so its unlikely to heal itself. To make matters worse your husband isn't hearing what you say. How... (read in full...)

My love life is just a big mess.

Q.   My girlfriend and I were dating for just over a year and we were so happy together, but the last few months of us dating were just filled with arguments. Those arguments were mainly about her parents as they are extremely controlling and they were ...

A.   21 March 2018: --sorry wasn't finished! I think that there is too much baggage for a troubled relationship to unpack. You have to tell her the truth about the other girl. Do it now before anything else. Yes she'll be hurt but imagine not telling her until af... (read in full...)

My love life is just a big mess.

Q.   My girlfriend and I were dating for just over a year and we were so happy together, but the last few months of us dating were just filled with arguments. Those arguments were mainly about her parents as they are extremely controlling and they were ...

A.   21 March 2018: Yes you have made a bit of a mess of things. Yes your choice to sleep with this 'boring' woman was really rash and if you really lived this girl you probably wouldn't want to punish her by doing that. The modern fallacy is that you should f... (read in full...)

The only time my girlfriend has orgasmed was with an ex boyfriend.

Q.   We're together for a few months, our sex is great but she can't orgasm with me. I asked her why and she said she can't orgasm and that she had just one orgasm in life once with other guy in the past. I'm very jealous and insecure about that and d...

A.   20 March 2018: Come on buddy. Where is your fighting spirit. You haven't given her an orgasm- Yet. If she is the same age as you and only one man has given her an orgasm then she is dating the wrong guys or she needs to give them more information. I'll be strai... (read in full...)

My ex has said sorry after many years, but I want her to apologise for more!

Q.   My ex apologised in a MSG many years after we broke up but all she said was sorry things were said. A lot more than things were said and I'm not an emotional person. She went out of her way to get to me on numerous occasions because I wasn't b...

A.   20 March 2018: I agree with everything that YCBS has said. I'll only add one thing. The best revenge is living happily and successfully. How can you be happy with all this bitterness and resentment? ... (read in full...)

I want a more reciprocal relationship in the future.

Q.   This is going to sound like an odd question - or as if I am slightly crazy - but I'm increasingly realising that I attract people who I am certain are on the autism spectrum and I want to know how, if at all, I can avoid this happening in future. ...

A.   19 March 2018: You are totally aware of the type of people that you fall for or become a carer for. It seems like you lack the ability to assert boundaries and even apparently well adjusted people feel that they can push their needs on you. There aren't that man... (read in full...)

Is he just a long distance loser who uses his family?

Q.   I write this post with a heavy heart. I don't even know where to begin..... My boyfriend has had a very bad past. He has chosen to do many things to disappoint his parents, siblings, and other family members. He went to College, is educated, ye...

A.   19 March 2018: He has shown that he can function if he wants to, it is his families complicity in this which enables his failure to grow into a fully formed adult. Do not move in with this man. He will be like a millstone around your neck. Do not agree to pay a... (read in full...)

Q.   Hello I fell in love with my same gender best friend of 4 years, we are both married to our husbands with children, had an emotional affair that turned physical for 2 months. We ended the affair but still work in the same building. She has cut me ...

A.   17 March 2018: You have both set your whole lives on fire and your concern is whether you can rekindle a friendship. In a few years? The answer is no. There are too many people with an interest in this problem. If you divorce your husband, but she doesn't ... (read in full...)

I missed an opportunity with him that I will never get again.

Q.   About 2 months ago I felt an instant attraction towards someone at my local gym and I know he felt the same way because we were literally staring at each other longer than necessary. Anyway I screwed up because he said hi to me one time and I ...

A.   17 March 2018: Seriously, you are winding yourself up for nothing. Just go up to him and ask him for a drink or a coffee. Is the possibility that he'll say no worse than all this posturing and uncertainty. The sting of rejection is acute but short lived. Anyway ... (read in full...)

I think he’s using my pregnancy as an excuse to avoid sex! I feel unwanted and unloved!

Q.   Right now im 3 months pregnant for the first time and it supposed to be a very joyful moment in my life but i feel so lonely and unloved. My husband is happy and excited knowing im pregnant but since then we never had sex. He will reject sex and ...

A.   17 March 2018: If I'm reading this correctly; you wanted sex but he didn't because he was afraid it would hurt the baby. You showed him that it wasn't dangerous and then he agreed to have sex but by that time you didn't want to because you were hurt. It soun... (read in full...)

My boyfriend had a threesome dream about me & one of my closest friends

Q.   This question goes out to those of you with some expertise in dream analysis... My boyfriend had a dream of him having a threesome with me and one of my closest friends. It was very porny and intense and he was having sex primarily with her in it. ...

A.   16 March 2018: It's meaningless. Guys would dream about having sex with every woman they saw in their day if there was time. What does it say about your relationship? It says your boyfriend is an idiot and should stop worrying you with all of his brain farts. It r... (read in full...)

Q.   I recently entered into a casual relationship with someone that I met through a swingers site, we used to meet for nsa fun but we clicked and we decided to make it more permanent but I told her that I had a bad experience a few years ago and it ...

A.   16 March 2018: Well I think it's probably best you don't see each other any more, but you should both have a look at how your behaviour is feeding these misunderstandings. She is a woman looking for something more on a swinger site and you are a man who pref... (read in full...)

Why do I always lose sexual interest with partners?

Q.   Hey all, bit of a weird one but I didn't know if anyone could give me advice. When I'm in a new relationship, or hooking up with someone, I feel very sexual and enjoy having sex. This tends to carry on for a few weeks, sometimes months - but one...

A.   15 March 2018: You didn't have to test his loyalty. You just wanted to. You were found out because you aren't as bright as you think or he isn't as stupid as you think he is, and now you are paying the price. You have given enough information about yourself to let ... (read in full...)

A.   14 March 2018: You are a grown up. Write an email. stating that the allocation of shifts doesn't seem to be allocated fairly but on habit. You cannot state that there are 'favourites' because you don't know that. Those who ask for certain shifts are likely to get ... (read in full...)

Am I wrong for expecting to change my loner boyfriend?
