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. |

My ex wants to say goodbye!
Q. My ex of 1 year got a job opportunity in France a few months back and we decided to end it due to the distance. She wants to see me before she leaves but I don’t know if that is a good idea as I’m trying to move on and it may spark old feelings ...
A. 24 June 2018: I agree that I think you'll regret not going, but that you should keep it in public and non-date-like.
I think it would help solidify "she's going to another country, that's the end of it" for you, even if it stings a little.... (read in full...)
Is a B-cup too small?
Q. Is B-cup too small? Everyone in my family has A-cup boobs, but I am a B-cup. I am not growing anymore, and all my friends and family make fun of me and call me flat. It hurts me a lot. So, on legitimate average? When is a boob size too small, or too ...
A. 22 June 2018: I love HP's examples. First of all, your family are smaller, so they have no leg to stand on making fun of you. Secondly, I have a 40J chest. It's HORRIBLE. I'm fighting to get a reduction because: I can't run. I can't jog. I can't j... (read in full...)
I ask women I sleep with about their opinion on abortion because I don't want kids. How do I know the girl I'm seeing is on the same page?
Q. So I met a wonderful girl online and we hit it off really well. We kissed on the first date, had lunch on the second, and ended up sleeping with each other on the third when she invited me over to her apartment for pizza and a movie. We used ...
A. 22 June 2018: Get a vasectomy. Be responsible for yourself, don't leave it up to the women.

My ex-girlfriend has a way of messing with my head
Q. Hi all, Long story cut short. I was in a lesbian relationship with my gf for two years. She kissed a guy during our relationship (even lied to my face and was secretly sending messages to him). This pushed me to pursue my dreams in working a...
A. 15 June 2018: Unfortunately, you're doing this to yourself. You KNOW what she's like and, other than throwing a few "I love yous", she's not hiding her motives. You give her sex, that's all she wants.
Now's the time to cut ties permanently; she won't change h... (read in full...)
Is this normal?? Am I stupid to love a man who does not respect the institution of marriage??
Q. Dear Agony Aunt I am married for 20 years to a narcissistic surgeon with roving eyes yet I've stayed with him thinking that we love each other. He had been unfaithful to me and my young children once in the past and after leaving home he returned...
A. 15 June 2018: If you arranged for prostitutes for him, you don't "respect the institution of marriage" either.
Anyway, whilst him being a cheater is totally on him, you being a workaholic won't help.

The death of my pet caused me to perform terribly at work!

A. 15 June 2018: "Hi Mary, I'm sorry you had to take on the extra work on Wednesday; my pet passed away that morning, so my performance was off. What can I do to help out?" Then leave it.
For what it's worth, while we know birds can bond with us just as much as ... (read in full...)

My boyfriend's drunken behaviour was nasty. Should I just let it pass?
Q. My bf, myself and our close friends were at a house party. I spent most of my time helping the hosts so I was pretty much sober while my bf decided to get sloshed after many years. By the end of the night, he had way too many and was totally out ...
A. 15 June 2018: The most important thing here is that he needs to avoid getting drunk if he can't behave in a respectful way.
When you next go out where drinking is likely to occur, bring it up briefly. "John, I don't mind you drinking, but please don't drink so... (read in full...)

A. 15 June 2018: If you respect your dad, you'll stop texting his friend in any way you wouldn't want your dad to see.
If he respects your dad, he wouldn't consider you available.
Seriously, where do you see this going? The chances of it ending well are very sl... (read in full...)

Q. Whats the difference between making love and just having sex? Like what are some things that would take place if you’re making love rather than just having regular sex?...
A. 12 June 2018: In all honesty, it's pretty self-explanatory. Anyone can have sex, but only people in love can make love. There's a deeper connection on a romantic level that goes beyond the shallow romance in some hook-ups.... (read in full...)

A. 10 June 2018: Dump him and file for child support. I mean it. No decent partner would want to cheat. No self-respecting person would allow their partner to cheat. "Oh, sorry son/daughter; Daddy doesn't love me if I'm not skinny". Do you know what messag... (read in full...)

A. 29 May 2018: The biological father needs to contribute financially - go through the legal channels to get that. Don't let him slide on it because it will harm your child when they're older.
