I try to give people honest opinions about situations, and give an unbiased balanced view of their options.

Some people may think I am harsh, but often a "softly softly" approach does not work, and a good dose of reality is needed.

A.   17 January 2011: I dont condone the fact that your boyfriend is verbally abusive - that is not on in any relationship and he sounds like a nasty piece of work. No one should abuse their partner for any reason. However, I do wonder about why he might be doing th... (read in full...)

A.   16 January 2011: Did you not go to any of your sex education lessons? A teenage boy will not have the control to "pull out" in time. He will also get VERY excited and secrete a lot of pre-cum which can also contain sperm, so either way, you will end up pregnant... (read in full...)

A.   14 January 2011: I am going to ignore the majority of your follow up and focus on one particular point. What exactly is wrong with the way Miss Australia looks? You say : "And this is why I have such an affinity to Australian. Physically, she's attrac... (read in full...)

Am I a bit weird for not particularly liking kids?

Q.   This isn't a relationship question but i would be interested to hear what people think. Ever since i was about 13 (i'm now 23) i realised i wasn't the maternal type. People would show off their kids and these women would go all ga ga over them and...

A.   13 January 2011: I love kids, but I am not a fan of babies. I do not understand the ohhing, ahhing and fussing. They are babies. Woo. I adore small children, being able to interact with them, talk to them, and doing things with them, but I just dont understand WHY ... (read in full...)

A.   11 January 2011: I just want to add something to this - you have already been given a deserved ear bashing for your behaviour and you do deserve more, but here is not the time or place. Have you thought that the Latvian may have other motives? You admit yourse... (read in full...)

Should I tell my former teacher, who is married, how I feel?

A.   10 January 2011: As a teacher myself, I can see one very important red flag in your original question. "Is it worth disturbing a seemingly happy marriage for my own closure?" This says it all. He is a happily married man. Regardless of if he is a teacher, d... (read in full...)

A.   3 January 2011: You just have to man up and take it all on the chin. Face these people and be sorry for what you did. Apologise, be remorseful. Remember you have got off lightly - you stole her phone, and an expensive one at that. Stealing is a crime, she coul... (read in full...)

Painful sex, lube is too embarrassing to talk about?

Q.   Hi I'm 18 years old and in a very steady, loving relationship with my boyfriend of the same age. We both feel ready to have sex together but I have a problem which I really don't know how to approach. I was raped when I was 16 and although I feel ...

A.   26 December 2010: I dont understand what the negative image that lube has is? Its a fact of life - MANY women do not produce enough natural lubrication and have to use lube. There is nothing wrong with that. Not all women are wet and damp during sex, some need a l... (read in full...)

Disappointed my boyfriend bought me t-shirts instead of a promise ring for Christmas!

Q.   Its coming up to xmas and for a month my bf of 4 months has been asking me what I want for xmas. He suggested a budget of £50 and I agreed. I hinted I wanted him to get me a promise ring, he soon seemed to forget within a week and would say ahh ...

A.   24 December 2010: Bottom line, you should never demand anything! I was always brought up to believe saying "I WANT, never gets". Its very selfish. A ring is a very powerful symbol - not just a piece of jewellery. DO you actually know what a promise ring is ... (read in full...)

A.   22 December 2010: I think the problem is, you are shopping at a well know branded store. Sadly, you cant tell people what they can and cant wear. Of course people are going to want to buy the same item of clothing. There will be thousands, if not millions of peopl... (read in full...)

A.   20 December 2010: Ok, first of all, get yourself to the doctor asap! You may well be pregnant. Now, it often takes your body a while to adjust to not being on the pill. The bleeding you experience when on the pill is not an actual "period" - it is not the same as ... (read in full...)

A.   14 December 2010: 99% of people at some point have a crush on a teacher. You are not the first and you will not be the last. However, I can say that the teacher does not and will not ever reciprocate your feelings. He is an adult, you are a child. He is your tea... (read in full...)

A.   11 December 2010: ok...this is from a teacher. I am 27. Let me give you a response from someone in your teachers position. There is NO WAY that any decent teacher would ever have or want a relationship with one of their students. Past or present. The who... (read in full...)

A.   11 December 2010: Ok, First of all, it doesnt matter what your parents or your family think. In Austrailia the LEGAL age of consent is a minimum of 16, so by you having sex with an 18 year old man underage, HE is commiting a crime - child abuse and rape. LEGALLY you ... (read in full...)

A.   1 December 2010: Just out of interest, how have you been in a relationship for 3 years and never had sex? Surely any man in that a relationship that long would have made a move before now? If you do not love him, why are you with him? Leave the poor guy, f... (read in full...)

A.   29 November 2010: Being anemic just means she is low in iron. Most women suffer from this at some point! Basically she has a low red blood cell count. This can easily be fixed by taking iron supplements which you can get from the chemist (altho always talk to the ... (read in full...)

A.   27 November 2010: They may be worrying about you from a purely practical point of view. Once you get a mortgage, that is a serious commitment, and one that can often be difficult to pay off. IF you split (and no one is saying you will! - just a precaution) the... (read in full...)

A.   24 November 2010: I think the problem is that people get jealous. They do not want to have other people (children) taking their partners attention away from them. They dont care if they are a child, a friend, an ex, a parent - they want their partner all to thems... (read in full...)

A.   23 November 2010: Sounds like this is a classic case of step parent not wanting the step child around. He wants to be in a relationship with you, but not your daughter. He is not willing to compromise. Its HIS rules or not at all. The fact that "the rules"... (read in full...)

A.   22 November 2010: To be honest your partner sounds rather selfish and uncaring. When a woman has sex for the first time, it can be a traumatic experience, with blood, pain or even difficulty in penetration. A lot of first times dont work very well at all. This... (read in full...)
