Do women like nice guys with confidence?

Q.   Through out my life I've never scored with a women. I've had them as friends, but never anything more. In my eyes, it was because I've never tried anything, always playing it safe, but now I've become more confident with myself and I'm still a nice ...

A.   27 April 2011: Forget the bad boy thing, I'd rather a guy who will treat me well and make me feel special. In fact, if a guy treats me bad, with the "treat em mean, keep em keen" philosophy, or is just plain selfish and arrogant, I would walk away! You sound like ... (read in full...)

He talks to other women...what do I do?

Q.   I found my husband has been talking to a lot of women. He has started hiding things better now that I found out he slept with one. He mashed up his cell phone because he didn't want me to see who was on it. He even went as far as changing the ...

A.   26 April 2011: I think he cheated on you and that is enough reason to leave him. As for being in love with another woman, that doesn't come into it. He is far too immature for love. He loves himself right now and thinks he can sleep with whoever he wants and get ... (read in full...)

A.   18 April 2011: Ok dairy is a good one. Things like yogurt, milk, cheese all have lots of protein. Also pulses and legumes contain good levels of protein, so things like lentils, beans and chickpeas. You can cook these in stews and casseroles, currys, dahls, soups ... (read in full...)

A.   18 April 2011: I don't think we need to assume the wife is using the child as a bargaining tool, at all. It could just be that without the OP she would have no one to help her with the child and to help her emotionally, so it would make sense for her to go and ... (read in full...)

A.   10 April 2011: What is your gut feeling? If you are leaning more to yes then get back with him and give him another chance. If he lets you down and does something that is a deal breaker again, then he's had 2 chances, so leave him for good. It seems that what he ... (read in full...)

A.   3 April 2011: I completely know where you are coming from on this one. My bf says similar things. If I appear down to him, or not in a particularly extrovert mood, he asks if I'm in a bad mood, or says something like "poor baby isn't in a very good mood today". ... (read in full...)

Has anyone ever kept the truth from their partner and it did not destroy the relationship??

Q.   Is a relationship where you have lied, and cannot get yourself to tell the truth, a relationship worth staying in? Will the guilt of lying and of having betrayed someone you love get to be too much? Cannot confess a truth, but don't know if the ...

A.   28 March 2011: I'm sure there are many people who lie and manipulate the people around them to get what they want out of life. These people are sociopaths, pathalogical liars, narcissists or have some other personality disorder. I'm sure there may be some "normal" ... (read in full...)

A.   26 March 2011: No you don't sound needy. He is acting selfishly and not considering your feelings. It's not much to speak to your girlfriend when she wants to. Once a day is not a big ask. Then he didn't even do as he promised and call you the day after. To top it ... (read in full...)
