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 mother threatens to cut me off over the clothes I wear
Q. I'm a 31 year old woman who lives and works away from my parents. My parents were never the overly controlling kind, although my mother is kind of very conservative when it comes to certain things. She doesn't approve of partying or wearing ...
A. 26 April 2019: OP, stop it. Either argue with your mum, put your foot down or accept that her views won't change and you need to adapt to that.
Complaining here and not listening to advice will do nothing to improve your situation.
ACCEPT YOUR MUM.

He broke up with me and now I'm pregnant
Q. Hello all! I’m in a tough situation.. So last week my boyfriend broke up with me because of pressure from his family. Here’s the gist of it: We started dating a year and half ago. I’m bi-racial, half black and half Hispanic. He’s Indian. When we ...
A. 20 April 2019: You can’t not tell him. I’m sorry, but you made this choice too. Not only that, but you’re not telling him for HIS benefit, but for the future baby’s benefit - IF you keep the foetus. I won’t bash anyone who says not to tell him, but I won’t agree ... (read in full...)

A. 18 April 2019: Nope. You’ve hung on to a childhood crush. Time to maturely let it go. He won’t be as perfect as you made him out to be. He’s a fantasy, so accept it for what it is and find someone your age, who you can get to know properly. A crush won’t last so ... (read in full...)
Is it normal for pregnant women to drift away from friends?
Q. Is it normal for pregnant women to drift apart from friends? My best friend is 6 months along now but she has been ignoring me since Dec. Never answers my texts/calls. Strange thing is one random day she blocks me on fb but keeps me on whatsapp and ...
A. 18 April 2019: Yes, pregnant women often get a bit distant from friends because they have a new priority. No, this situation is not because of her pregnancy; it’s because your friendship is poisoned by arguments. You’re not meant to be friends - let her go.... (read in full...)

A. 18 April 2019: This is what happens when you make bad decisions. You both should have stopped sleeping together or at least used two forms of contraception. Are you (both) mature enough to be parents if you did this? I’m not so sure. Contraception can fail, but at ... (read in full...)

A. 18 April 2019: OP, it’s not abusive. It’s a strong disagreement about core feelings. I’m sorry she disagrees with you, but you’re going to have to accept it or stand up to her.

Adult son's fiance is too old for him
Q. My wife and I have been aware of our son’s dating preferences since he left home for college. He prefers older women. We believed it was a phase and did our best not to get bent out of shape. We have met several of his older girlfriends over the ...
A. 16 April 2019: Ultimately, his sex life isn't something you should be thinking about, even in this context. He's happy. Tolerate it. Try to accept it. Don't allow yourself to dwell on the negatives. Just leave him be and welcome her as much as you can.... (read in full...)

A. 16 April 2019: It’s possible she’s cheating, but some women start on them for one reason and stay on them for another. Maybe it helps her hormones, after being on them for some time?
You just have to ask. She could be cheating, but she may not be.... (read in full...)
I get dates but then I think there might be somebody better so I ghost them
Q. Hello everyone, I am looking for some help and would be grateful for your opinions. I'm single and looking for a woman, and I've had 13 dates so far this year. I'm not a fussy guy and I liked 9 of them. With 7 of these 9, I have had second or th...
A. 15 April 2019: Sorry, I don’t think ghosting is fair, regardless of whether it’s 10 dates or 1. If you are going to keep doing this, please have the manners not to ghost people. Rejection sucks, but being ghosted is horrible. It’s hard to open yourself to dating, ... (read in full...)

Q. Dear 'Cupid' I have been in a sexless relationship for over a year and we finally split up. My evenings became about beer and take out and over many months I put on weight and didn't bother with dating or about the opposite sex barely at all. ...
A. 13 April 2019: Unless you want a sexual harassment situation and losing the money from a tenant, don’t make the creepy decision to hit on her. Treat her like a niece, not a random woman. Cut any attraction or any non-platonic thoughts/behaviour. Find a woman your ... (read in full...)
I have neve wanted children, husband is being pressured to adopt his orphaned nephew

A. 13 April 2019: “I hope that he's making the right decision for HIMSELF and not because of family pressure” or wife pressure! You’re just as pushy as his other family members, so own it.

A. 9 April 2019: You were good enough, but you CHOSE to accept his crappy “proposal”. I’d have cried and said “no chance”, then left. You stayed with him too long, to be honest, when it was clear he was a bit of a jerk who didn’t want the same things as you. He ... (read in full...)

A. 9 April 2019: I haven’t been in your shoes, but it’s relatively simple. You’re on the right track; you’re taking things slowly and communicating well. You’ll never be an “instant mum” because you have to slowly become like a step-mother figure, not instantly or ... (read in full...)

A. 7 April 2019: Look, it IS creepy, but maybe you’re too naive to see it. You felt it was strange because it IS and he’s manipulated you over time into thinking it’s normal now. He wants to have sex with someone he has groomed into behaving like his daughter. It’s ... (read in full...)

We’re a fit couple in our late 60’s, retired. How much sex is normal
Q. We’re a fit couple in our late 60’s, retried. How much sex is normal? We do it three times a week on average. I could do it every day, she says even three times is too much. She enjoys it more than me, not that I don’t enjoy. She says none of...
A. 4 April 2019: There is no normal. This is normal for you and her. She has gone through menopause and that can decrease libido and cause soreness. Three times per week is still a good amount; it’s a compromise between what you’d both prefer. I think you should ... (read in full...)

A. 22 March 2019: No relationships are the same. I’m sorry for your loss, but new relationships won’t compare. No new relationship compares to a long, mostly happy one because it’s still new. Every new relationship is a new “flower”, so don’t compare it to other ... (read in full...)
