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. |

A. 21 February 2018: You have no luck with men because you settle for sex only or continue with crappy men, instead of letting go early and finding someone else.

How do I approach my very religious and conservative parents about my clothes?
Q. Hello! I wrote in about my parents before and I updated what their problem was and I am having another issue. This one is actual clothes. My parents, especially my mother, are really worried I’ll end up re-doing my whole wardrobe since I got all ...
A. 19 February 2018: Get the therapy. Find time.
Don't deliberately send pictures to your parents of things they won't like.

A. 19 February 2018: Sorry, OP. His lunch times *aren't* flexible. Nobody in a 9 - 5 job is *allowed* to extend their lunch breaks because they won't be doing the hours they're paid to do - he's lied to people, probably telling them he's checking on his child!

A. 18 February 2018: You aren't friends. You went on a few dates and had sex. That's not friendship - you're still strangers. It will likely be uncomfortable to become friends.
In future, it's unwise to have sex so early on, as it's incredibly likely you're either g... (read in full...)

Q. I have a new BF and he suggested we try anal sex. I have never done this before and so he said it wont hurt if I either relax or i could prepare myself by waring what he called a Butt Plug as this would make intercourse easier. Is it alright /safe ...
A. 18 February 2018: "What he called a butt plug" - No, OP, that *is* their ACTUAL name.
Do YOU want to try anal sex? If so, he MUST wear a condom every time, be happy to stop mid-entry and you MUST be able to trust him. Also, lots of lube would be needed, as well as ... (read in full...)
