Q.   How do I find out if this guy is cheating on me? Lately this guy im seein does not want to spend time with me and does not return my txts most of the time, so one night I had a feeling he was with someone else and I had to go past his place to the ...

A.   12 December 2011: perhaps she is giving you dirty looks because she is jealous? Noone likes to think of their ex moving on and finding someone else. Often we project all those negative feelings we should have for the ex, onto their new partner. How many times ha... (read in full...)

Should I keep striving, though I'm not sure what my final goal is?

It's a good marriage, but part of me feels she'd have preferred to spend her life with someone else.
