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. |

Does this guy who works with the man I'm sleeping with like me?
Q. Hello, I'm going to make this question as quick as possible haha! About 8 months ago, I got involved with my boss. He has just quit the company the day we slept together, so technically he wasn't my boss anymore that night, but you get t...
A. 21 November 2017: It's great that you're being responsible with protection - it's surprising how many don't.
However, whilst I completely understand that you don't want to know, it's important that you do - so you know how at risk you are of diseases (condoms... (read in full...)
Am I reasonable to choose money over potential happiness?
Q. Dear aunts, I am in a fix as I type this. I made a first attempt at online dating about 7 months ago and the only guy I really had an interest in, we hit it off. It was rocky at first but we are amazing now and not a day goes by without us chatting ...
A. 21 November 2017: Please be careful, OP. There's something not right about him. If you want to continue with him, that's okay, but please be more realistic.

A. 21 November 2017: I think that, if you want to continue this arrangement, you do need to verbalise it and assess where you are. Make sure it's exclusive or you're at risk of STDs. Also make sure you use condoms every time *and* birth control - no excuses.

We still sext even though he has a girlfriend, how do I move on?

A. 21 November 2017: I'm glad you took them as they were meant: a reality check, not nastiness.
You can do it, OP. Be glad you've (hopefully) learnt from this at such a young age, not found yourself doing it 10+ years from now. To see who you could become, if you don'... (read in full...)

A. 20 November 2017: Also, OP, take a good look at yourself. You spitefully tried to hurt an innocent person and it backfired. His girlfriend has done nothing to you - YOU are the one being cruel by sexting with her boyfriend.

How to deal with a more sexually experienced partner?
Q. I'm a male virgin who's never kissed a girl or been on a date. I'm not particularly handsome either and I am obese. I will be visiting an escort in a few weeks to lose my virginity. Finally I'll get to feel what intimacy is like. However I've b...
A. 19 November 2017: Also, in the nicest possible way, I think you need therapy to stop feeling sorry for yourself. Most women would rather date a virgin who wants to learn, than someone who paid for sex.

A. 19 November 2017: OP, the escort won't help you. Do it if you want, but it's like a drug - the high wears off. You'll realise your virginity isn't what's holding you back. You're not suddenly going to get a girlfriend because you've had sex once, with someone who had ... (read in full...)

A. 19 November 2017: He's a cheater. You're a cyber misstress.
You block him and never speak to him again. It really is that simple. It's not emotionally easy, but it is that simple. Once you block him, WITHOUT a goodbye (or he'll try to persuade you to keep sexting)... (read in full...)

A. 19 November 2017: OP, you will never be happy or responsible until you can financially support yourself. Moving to another country with a man you truly barely know is not wise - you will turn into a "mail order bride" and be "bought" by this man.

I sent him a nude, I hope he hasn't lost respect for me.
Q. I posted a while ago saying i had a met a man with quite an usual job- he's a travel author (fairly successful). He is 35 years old, is in the public eye quite a lot and has a lot of female attention. I went on 2 dates with him back in june but then ...
A. 19 November 2017: You'll only be seen as a sex object unless you ask for more than just sex - BEFORE hooking up. How can he see you as more than a F buddy if you send nudes and would have sex before being in an official relationship with him?

Where do you go to meet momen?

A. 18 November 2017: OP, don't give up on online dating. You're frustrated, I get it, but that's just life. Dating is about testing the waters until it works.

A. 18 November 2017: OP, these details could just have been added to your last. The responses won't really change.

A. 18 November 2017: I think it's a good idea to do some research into constant bad breath and halitosis. Then, approach the subject with him and ask if he'd see a pharmacist, dentist or doctor about it.... (read in full...)

Could this relationship be wrong?
Q. I am falling in love with my soon to be step uncle and I don't know what to do. Do I end things now before it gets out of hand or do we carry on being like we are and tell people about us ? Is it forbidden to date him ??...
A. 17 November 2017: OP, if you'd have to break up because of it, there's no point carrying on until then, is there? It's just a waste of time and will hurt more. As for the "we're both very mature", please be careful. You can only be as mature as your age allows.... (read in full...)

A. 16 November 2017: OP, this is familiarity, not love. You're not compatible and you only want him back because you haven't given yourself a chance to move on.
You know he won't change and he doesn't need to. The same thing goes for you. You're just not meant to... (read in full...)
How do I tell potential dates that I do not engage in sex outside marriage vows?
Q. Hi I am going to start online dating . I don’t want to have sex before marriage . I am not virgin I was married before. Mostly folks respect your decision ( not sex before marriage) if you are virgin . If you are not virgin they don’t respect ...
A. 15 November 2017: I'd put it in your messages to each other pre-date, to avoid time wasting. Just say you only partake in sexual intimacy when married.

A. 15 November 2017: Honeypie is totally right. Make it age-appropriate. Don't tell her his crime until she's old enough to understand - i.e 15 or so. Until then, keep it simple. First name only. Basic description that fits lots of other men.

Mum kept hitting me with a shoe
Q. I can't talk to my mum and I think she's being abusive. So this is the thing right. My mum just loses it all the time. It's like there's a war going on in my house. It always happens when I come home from school. We just yell at each other. She ...
A. 14 November 2017: You mother was definitely wrong to do that. However, you aren't helping your case. Chores are a shared responsibility. We often need to get them out of the way, like homework, before doing our own things. Learn to hold your tongue - it's useful th... (read in full...)
My housemate keeps having sex in our shared spaces and I don't like it.
Q. My housemate keeps having sex/foreplay with her boyfriend in our shared living spaces, like the living room etc. She tells me and laughs about it, but I actually find it so disrespectful and it makes me quite angry how she disregards my comfort ...
A. 13 November 2017: Speak to her one more time and, if it continues, tell your housemates and make sure they're on the same page - as in no sex in the shared spaces. If they don't like it either, then you can all say something.

Is $3000 too cheap for an engagement ring for a high maintenance girlfriend given my income and background?

A. 13 November 2017: How old is your girlfriend?
If she expects you to spend more than $1000 on a ring, she's really not worth marrying because she's TOO materialistic. She'd be after your money, not you, and wouldn't stick by you if you lost most of your money.

A. 13 November 2017: There are two main points here, but the most important is that no decent adult will touch a minor inappropriately, let alone kiss one! He is a creep.

A. 12 November 2017: First of all, you need to have a safe word established IMMEDIATELY. You can't safely explore kinks without a safe word, as "no" is often ignored, so it needs to be something you WILL NOT, under any circumstances, ignore and will instantly stop. Make ... (read in full...)
