Karma does happen:
My dad was a married woman's other guy for only a few weeks (about a decade before my mum met him), then realised he wasn't okay with helping her betray her husband. His friend became her other guy, husband came home while they were at it, the guy jumped out of the window and the husband knew, so grabbed a bicycle, chased him and punched him once, going 20mph, so it knocked him out. A couple of relationships later, after getting £15,000 in debt to help a woman leave her abusive husband and getting in a relationship with her, my dad came back from a holiday with his parents and found her with another guy. |

Should I be over his cheating?
Q. I’ve been with my guy for over 6 yrs now. We got into a discussion yesterday about his twin boys momma. Saying you know we will have to be around her more. And I said “as long as nothing else happens again” due to him going behind my back a couple ...
A. 22 January 2019: Get over it or don’t. If you don’t, which I totally understand and agree with, you need to leave him. You accepted that he cheated on you MULTIPLE times. It’s not surprising you’re not over it, but you can’t hold it over him and stay together. ... (read in full...)

A. 22 January 2019: Nothing is wrong with you; you’re just in a low mood and stuck in a rut. Work on those two things and you’ll get your mojo back, having more success in life and dating - though you’ll need to make sure you’re approaching women who are interested in ... (read in full...)
I’m not sure how to interpret ‘hey chick’ in his text!
Q. If a male acquitance or a friend sent you a text starting 'hey chick' and you had not one like that before from them, is it something as a female you would find endearing, condescending or the sender being flirty with her. Had one recently and ...
A. 22 January 2019: I don’t think it was flirty, just neutral. To be honest, very few women like to be called “chick”, especially past 25. If you’re reading into it, though, it seems you may be curious about more from him?... (read in full...)

Can we get married in a church if neither of us are religious?
Q. My fiancee and I would like to get married in a church, however neither of us are religious. Does anyone have any thoughts or advice on this? Neither of our families are religious either. We have come across many churches locally and while ...
A. 19 January 2019: Weddings in churches and chapels IS common.... for religious people. If you don't believe in God, it's disrespectful to marry in His house. If you do believe, but don't go to church, then you're still a believer, so it makes sense to marry in a ... (read in full...)
If a girl is interested in a guy, he jumps at the chance to go out with her, why won't this guy?
Q. There's a boy in my class who's really cute, smart, nice, everything I like in a guy but he ignores me. I try talking to him and he either doesn't talk to me or tells me to leave him alone. I've passed him notes in class and left notes in his locker ...
A. 19 January 2019: "....he either doesn't talk to me or tells me to leave him alone" - that is him refusing consent and you are ignoring it. If someone you didn't like was pestering you and beginning to stalk you, how would you feel? Delete his number and addre... (read in full...)

Q. I’m feeling really lonely and fed up since splitting from my boyfriend 6 weeks ago. We were together for 8 years. Basically I split from him because I know he will never commit to me and I got tired of waiting. In the end I felt like i’d fallen ...
A. 18 January 2019: It hurts. Even leaving an abusive partner can hurt. We put our hearts into something and it is painful if it doesn't last.

Q. My boyfriend of 2 months has suddenly gone odd. We had pet names for each other on social media. He not really spoken to me much in the last few days. Today he cleared the nicknames we had for each other and he wont reply to any message i sent him ...
A. 17 January 2019: Give him a week, no contact. If he doesn't get back to you by then "Bye, Bob!".... He's only been your "boyfriend" for two months - that's barely any time at all, so this shouldn't be happening.
That said, I think there may have been some smo... (read in full...)
I hate being criticized and corrected and I don't like anyone see me other than at my best. How do I change this?
Q. Most of my self-worth depends on me not looking stupid in front of people, and it is affecting my life. When I was younger, everyone told me I was smart. I was always reading and didn't have to try very hard to learn. I barely studied and still ...
A. 17 January 2019: Get some therapy. It's narcissistic to consider yourself superior or to want to be superior to people - especially family/boyfriend. Nobody wants to stick around someone who makes them feel inferior or who refuses to accept that she doesn't know ... (read in full...)

Q. My sons father passed away almost two years ago and I’ve been single since then haven’t even Pursue anyone since. Recently his cousin that I’ve never met started coming around a lot lately and once we started communicating we started to like each ...
A. 16 January 2019: If I'm honest, I'd be uncomfortable with my mum dating my dad's cousin (or vice versa) if he passed away. With so many great people available, there's no reason to date within a family. It also seems like you're largely interested because he's come ... (read in full...)
I can't climax and I'm worried he will leave me because of it
Q. Hi, I am in need of some advice. I have been dating a really nice man for over a month. We have been intimate with him a few times. It was an amazing experience even though, I did not climax. He seemed really worried about it. Would tell me when I ...
A. 15 January 2019: You're an extremely new couple, so this isn't major yet. You both have issues, though: - You can't climax - He knows nothing about climaxing (how it's not the be all/end all) and he blames his ED on the woman's body! You being turned on or ... (read in full...)

Q. My husbands adult daughter can't seem to hold down a job she also has anxiety issues. I have been told she is selling nude pictures of herself online and I don't know what to do? I think she will deny it if I ask her and tell her father I am making ...
A. 15 January 2019: If it's true, that's fair enough. She's an adult and it's money. However, a job is fair game for *general*, PRIVATE discussion - so you can ASK her about it, out of curiosity, but not get your husband involved. As an adult, she can do what she ... (read in full...)

A. 15 January 2019: I'm sorry for the loss of your boyfriend. My advice for this is to nip it in the bud. I don't think it's good to "keep it in the family". That's your son's second cousin. It's not worth it. I'd advise being friends, but no more. No flirting and no ... (read in full...)

A. 15 January 2019: Okay, ready? I've just said this to another boy your age and, unsurprisingly, it applies here too: Give it time, OP. It's natural to be upset, but try not to be dramatic. Rejection is hard, but you're not depressed - just very sad, which is ok... (read in full...)

A. 14 January 2019: All I'll add is that most people don't start dating until their late teens or early 20s because it's too much hassle when nobody is mature enough to handle it, which is normal and how it should be, in your teens.

A. 14 January 2019: OP, you did what you did because you're still a kid. You're both too young to be planning a future past going to college/uni or getting your first proper job, that includes marriage being too serious for teens to discuss seriously. You're still ... (read in full...)

Why do I always want the people I shouldn't?
Q. I've realized lately that the only time I've ever felt really crazy about someone, it was because I was not allowed to have them. To give an example, it started with an ex-boyfriend. After we broke up we still saw each other a few times a year, even ...
A. 12 January 2019: Some people do feel this way, but you won't deal with it well on your own; you need therapy to establish why you can't commit without a desire to cheat and why you don't care about other people's feelings (the boyfriend, the ex's girlfriend, etc.) ... (read in full...)

A. 7 January 2019: Why invite him over? He's a cheater - he deserves a text, not a phone call or a visit, where he can try to manipulate you into staying by crying.
