Q.   I found my boyfriend in bed with another woman both naked.I still want him in my life i cant let go.Is this right?...

A.   6 April 2006: If only we could turn off our feelings like a tap when it suited us. Your boyfriend has hurt you and treated you badly, but you say you can't let go. How much more humiliation are you willing to take? This guy is bad news and you deserve bett... (read in full...)

A.   6 April 2006: When this happened originally you obviously accepted his explanation, probably because you couldn't prove otherwise and brushed the whole thing under the carpet. This got rid of the problem for him, and he had a lucky escape.(sorry but these ... (read in full...)

A.   5 April 2006: I think that if you tell her now how you feel, knowing she's just been dumped you may end up catching her on the rebound. I would remain good friends with her and I'm sure given a little more time she may be ready to embark on a new rela... (read in full...)

A.   4 April 2006: If he knew of your past when he married you I can't see where the problem is, after all the past is past and should be left there, if it is causing him so much turmoil why marry you in the first place..... does he worry about your past all the time ... (read in full...)

A.   31 March 2006: You have lived without this man for 2 years and are still here to tell the tale, which means no matter how much you love him you can live without him, which is exactly what I'd do if I was you. I understand this man has been in a relationship for ... (read in full...)

Q.   Hi All, Recently I have told a 28 yr-old guy about how I feel about him, basically I like him. He told me it was very flattering and that he admired my courage of telling him. He told me not to worry since I have done my very best and it is his re...

A.   29 March 2006: This I think is a rebound relationship, and you need to be honest about your feelings and tell him. I can't see you having a change of heart and things getting better for you, so let him down gently but finish with him, the sooner the better, if you ... (read in full...)

A.   29 March 2006: I think you should leave him alone for now, sounds like he's gone off to lick his wounds and get over you. You say you ended it, do I sense a bit of guilt there? Maybe he feels having no contact with you will enable him to move on more quickly.... (read in full...)

A.   28 March 2006: You cannot continue in a relationship due to emotional blackmail, you will end up very unhappy and probably lose the person you really want to be with. If he is sending texts that are bothering you, change your number. Tell him again you have no f... (read in full...)

A.   17 March 2006: I'm having to agree with everyone else here, this guy is weird! I would have to find out more about him, its just not normal to be with someone for 7 months and be completly excluded from his personal life. What does he think, that you are some sort... (read in full...)

A.   17 March 2006: Sounds like she's keeping you hanging in case she should ever be in a position to use you, she knows how you feel about her and knows you would have her back in a second. You say you have remained friends, but would you be interested in a frie... (read in full...)

A.   16 March 2006: Firstly you have to ask yourself if you want to get back together with your ex husband and give your relationship another go for all the right reasons, or just because you are lonely and he has said he's meet someone else and you can't bear the ... (read in full...)

A.   14 March 2006: Frankly it doesn't look like you can do anything to change his mind, certainly not at the moment. The most important thing right now is that he maintains contact with your son and is still involved in his life. You may not like the fact he's moved ... (read in full...)
