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. |

Can I fool this new guy into thining I'm not a virgin?
Q. Hello! I met a man online. We have been talking for three months on an dating app. We’ve clicked and have a lot in common. The conversation of us being intimate has come up. However, I don’t want to tell him I am a virgin, I’m 26 and he is 22...
A. 27 September 2018: You lucky woman! At least you dodged a bullet :) Hold your head high, continue being honest and find someone who doesn't care whether or not you're a virgin, but wants the same casual sex you do.

Does my wife really believe we need this money this bad?
Q. I'll try to keep it short. My wife picked up a small second job cleaning/taking care of an elderly man (80's) 20 hours a week. She heard of this guy through a customer at her waitressing job. Guy is paying her $20 an hour under the table. Pr...
A. 19 August 2018: I'm a carer and this is ridiculous. First of all, she could get caught with $1,200 extra per month. People pay taxes for a reason. Secondly, she's just scavenging for money if she'll put up with that from a mentally well person. If he's doing it ... (read in full...)

A. 18 August 2018: Your bi-curiosity doesn't excuse cheating. That's wht this would be unless your boyfriend is happy for you to do it.
It's also easy to find people, but you need to be honest that you're just experimenting because lots of people don't want to be yo... (read in full...)

Am I having these doubts because the honeymoon phase is over and we've been together for 8 years? Or am I with the wrong person?
Q. I am really struggling with myself at the moment. I don't know whether my doubts are justified or if I'm just having some sort of quarter life crisis. I have been going out with my boyfriend for 8 years now (since we were 16 and at school!) and ...
A. 17 August 2018: Alos, I'd like to stress that "don't sh*t where you eat" (don't date where you work) is really important. Work is for professionalism, not dating - unless you're happy with rumours and changing jobs if there's a messy break up. Be single for a yea... (read in full...)

A. 17 August 2018: Too little, too late. You should have ended it at the beginning when it was clear you weren't too interested or compatible.

A. 15 August 2018: I think you have every right not to date him again, but you need to stop playing games and communicate properly because you are about to be a parent. There is no time for you to be selfish and immature, you both need to step up to the mark and talk ... (read in full...)

A. 11 August 2018: I don't know why you're with him. You're sexually incompatible and he's sexually lazy.
His porn habit is because he wants a quick release with minimal effort. He doesn't care about you enjoying it; you're just a sex doll with no desire to him.

A. 11 August 2018: Does he normally text you more? Calls are worth more than texts. When I was with my first boyfriend, we could text a lot, talk for hours on the phone (at the beginning) and we'd send each other video messages that I really treasured. The p... (read in full...)

A. 4 August 2018: It’s not bad and it’s not cheating. However, please evaluate what you mean by “serious”. 16 isn’t a good age for an adult relationship, which is what “serious” means. Having a boyfriend you’re exclusive with is okay, but anything intimate beyond ... (read in full...)
