A.   13 June 2014: Hello Tom. I am glad that things have calmed down. Based on the way that your wife changes her mind so much, perhaps it would not be a good idea to agree to sell the house. You might have agreed, based on the renting together idea, only to fi... (read in full...)

A.   6 June 2014: Yes, show her where the money has been spent and ask for an apology. In a way I am pleased that you have become a bit more irritated yourself. I am sure if she had simply asked, you would have provided the answers. It was rather unforgivable. In ... (read in full...)

A.   31 May 2014: Well how horrible and how deluded. The fact that she is paying the mortgage now, does not negate the fact that this has been a partnership. She can not simply kick you out or sell the house without your permission. However you get the advice, do ... (read in full...)

A.   30 May 2014: Tom, you can go to mediate or to a solicitor. Mediation first would be useful because it will describe both of your positions in an open, balanced way. Either way make sure you get advice and do not fall on your sword. Remember that you will have ... (read in full...)

Q.   I'm in a long distance relationship and we have not yet been sexual in person . Next time we meet we will take it to the next level but in the meantime we enjoy that online but I'm worried about how I can possibly keep my bf interested when he ...

A.   29 May 2014: If he understands how much it hurts you he will give it up. All relationships are give and take. If I had a habit that made my husband very unhappy I would stop. A myth has developed in society, of entitlement. A woman dare not ask a man to give up ... (read in full...)

Given the circumstances why wont he give me a key?

Q.   My boyfriend and I have been together about two and a half years. He is 35 and I am 27. He has been married before, I have not. I am at his place often, probably about 5 or 6 nights a week. I do not have a key, so if he has to work before me he will ...

A.   26 May 2014: It is because it takes things a step closer to living together and he has not got to that point. The key is symbolic. But why would he bother anyway, when this way he sees you almost as much as he would if you lived together but still keeps his free... (read in full...)

A.   24 May 2014: Stag nights are occasions when anything can happen and from what you found I would say it did. You need the truth and you must talk to him. The fact that he showered makes me think that he felt dirty, possibly. Despite the best intentions, naked ... (read in full...)

Q.   A friend of mine recently got very angry with me, without me understanding why. I was wondering if you could help me with this. I had become quite sick, and wasn't getting any better. I was talking to my friend that Saturday, and she asked me how...

A.   24 May 2014: She does not understand how ill you were, or could not cope. Some old people get treated like that just because they are old. Maybe other friends of hers have been dramatic, so she decided you were being a drama queen. Maybe she thought someone in ... (read in full...)

What's a subtle way of saying "I miss you", without sounding too needy?

Q.   About 2 months ago, I was dating someone who I really felt a connection with and was falling for him (this rarely happens) and he felt the same way too. However because he came out of a long term relationship at the end of last year, he told me...

A.   22 May 2014: I approach these things from an angle of humour. Which may not be your thing, but: Send him an envelope in which there is a stamped, addressed postcard with your address. In the note, inside the envelope say something like: "I haven't quite forg... (read in full...)

Insecure for over 10 years because of wife's exes, am I being a fool?

A.   22 May 2014: So sorry, this defies an expression of how sh-t one person can be to another. She is in love with herself only. The trouble is she has you where she wants you and you are used to being there. So, the question is, do you have enough left to tell her ... (read in full...)

A.   22 May 2014: Don't be alarmed by what I put here before reading to the end. I tend to err on the sides of Dad's who get denied the chance of knowing their kids. I see you have good reason for concern, but I can say that even if he is a rat, there is still good ... (read in full...)

A.   22 May 2014: You are too young to worry about it being any sort of failure. When I was young my boyfriends enjoyed meeting my parents. It didn't mean we were getting married. I do think "defining the relationship" sounds a bit formal, we always thought it was ... (read in full...)

A.   19 May 2014: Texting, what a nightmare. I would go by how he treats you in real life, not his texting record. After seeing you he starts his usual routine, gets on with his life and is not a slave to the telephone. Good on him. Women communicate in a differen... (read in full...)
