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.

Is it better if he stays in the army or leaves?

Q.   Hello, My boyfriend has just returned to army training, after 2 weeks leave. He has been there for 15 weeks before hand. He has to go to training in england which means he is away from home in Northern Ireland. As soon as he got back he said he ...

A.   13 April 2010: If he really doesn't want to be in the Army, then he needs to decide sooner rather than later. Once he finishes his basic training, there is a very high chance that they may well send him out to the front line, depending on which branch of the Army ... (read in full...)

Grown man still obeying his parents

Q.   He tells me he loves me and wants us to be together even if he has to wait forever since his family won't allow us to be together. He doesn't want to risk loosing them and wants me to wait for them to accept us. He is 23 and still listens to his ...

A.   13 April 2010: He is only 23, and you have multiple kids? I suspect this is what his parents find worrying. They probably do not want him to get cosy with you, as they do not want to inherit someone elses grandchildren. I suspect they see you as a gold-digger, who ... (read in full...)

Is an emotional affair more meaningful than a sexual one?

Q.   One mainly for the guys but if any of you ladies have comments................... When you have an emotional affair which does not get physical is that more meaningful to a guy than a relationship which is mainly sex orientated??...

A.   11 April 2010: I don't know about how guys feel about this, so I can only advise from my own personal experience. I couldn't say if they were more meaningful, as I am an emotional woman, and that is very important to me. BUT I know all to well how painful ... (read in full...)

A.   11 April 2010: You have a responsibility now, as you are a Mother, and like it or not, your son will be part of your life for the rest of yours. Sadly, this may mean that there will be men who do not want to get involved with you because of your son. But th... (read in full...)

A.   11 April 2010: You have been with a 50 year old man for a year and a half, and you are only 18? That in itself is something rather worrying. That means you cannot have been much past your 16th Birthday when you first started a relationship with him! To me, this ... (read in full...)

A.   11 April 2010: Ok First of all, as you are 15, LEGALLY it is against the law for you to have sex in the UK. The LEGAL AGE OF CONSENT is 16, so unless you are 16, you are unable to give consent, and it will be classed as RAPE, regardless of if you say yes, think ... (read in full...)

How do I persuade my mum to let me go on holiday with my boyfriend?

Q.   Hi. I'm seventeen and my boyfriend has asked me to go away with him for a few days in the summer. We wouldn't be going far, just to the coast about 2 hours drive away, and only for a few days - a week maximum - and by then I'd be nearly 18. I ...

A.   10 April 2010: I dont think your Mum has a problem with you spending time alone with your boyfriend, or the having sex part. You may be over the legal age of consent for sex, BUT I think it is because you are still LEGALLY a child, until you hit 18 that she is ... (read in full...)

A.   9 April 2010: Jaii, I apologise if you think I have been harsh, but we can only go on what you write. You said you wanted to be a teacher, so I was just trying to give you some pointers. Sadly there are many people who write like that all the time, and see no ... (read in full...)

A.   9 April 2010: Hi Jaii Dixie I have read both your questions, and as a teacher myself, I have a few words of advice for you. This is not meant to sound harsh, but if you truly want to go into teaching then you need to realise what it is all about. Fi... (read in full...)

Should I just ask him bluntly if he wants to go further?

Q.   So me and my best friend and I have been messing around, like I've been giving him handjobs and he's been touching me. The first time I saw him after the first time it happened he acted awkward and we didn't do it again, so I texted him and told him ...

A.   8 April 2010: Woooah, slow down! Already, after just a bit of fondling, handjobs and fingering, your brain is already thinking about relationships and getting "official". He is your best friend. Have you thought that is all he might want to be? Men are funn... (read in full...)

Q.   I have never been on the pill but I am getting quite a bit of hair on my neck and chin, I have made an appointment with my doctor and my friend says she will probably test my hormone levels, how do they do that? I have googled the pill and the...

A.   8 April 2010: I think no one can give you a definative answer on this, as no pill has the same effect on every woman!. I think because we are all different our bodies deal with the hormones in different ways, so what one woman thinks is a fantastic pill with no ... (read in full...)

A.   7 April 2010: Sorry, I just read this and have to comment. I have a work collegue, who was/is just like you. He doesn't see a problem with his behaviour. He chases girls sleeps with them, and they never hear from him again, because he has moved on to the next... (read in full...)

A.   31 March 2010: I think you need to look at the whole picture here. 1. How would you feel if she wanted to "experiment" with other guys, not girls? 2. How would SHE feel if YOU wanted to "experiment" with other guys/girls? Cheating is cheating regardless o... (read in full...)

Q.   Hi again, I know I have already put a question up about teachers and boyfriends! But can someone help me.... All my teachers (and I really do mean ALL my teachers) are telling me I'm anorexic! Ok I may not be helping this situation by calling mys...

A.   28 March 2010: This is a question you need to be asking a qualified medical Doctor, not people on the internet. The fact that you deny so strongly that "please don't say eat because I'm NOT anorexic!" makes me very concerned for you, as this is classic denial s... (read in full...)

Due a month before cousin's wedding, I'm maid of honor, can I back out?

A.   27 March 2010: I think she sounds totally out of order, and is being remarkably selfish! You have every right to turn round and back out now, because that email was the last straw. Bottom line, you are pregnant, and yes, you are due a month before the weddi... (read in full...)

Q.   Hey guys, I like this guy and he likes me. Thing is he's a teacher and I'm nearing the end of my 1st year of college. He's also a lot older than me. My questions are: 1. Would a relationship with him be legal? We didn't admit our f...

A.   26 March 2010: If he has been/is currently your teacher, then no, It is totally against the rules for him to engage in any type of relationship with you other than just teacher/pupil. It would call into question his morality, and the trust that parents have in ... (read in full...)

Q.   Hi, I'm 14 in May and i really really like this guy in my school but he's 18 in August so there's four years between us, plus he's leaving school soon. I asked him out once and he said he would - IF i was his age. We're really good friends already ...

A.   25 March 2010: Short answer, he is WAY too old for you. He has already told you what he thinks, that you are too young for him, so you need to respect his feelings and get over him. No matter how much you pursue him, he isnt going to change his mind, and as a... (read in full...)

Is the potential for a relationship here?

Q.   Alright. This, I'm sure is probably a common (ish?) situation. I'm seventeen. I look older than I am, (around early twenties, so I've been told), so that might explain a little bit of this situation. At my job, there's a guy, he's married and about ...

A.   24 March 2010: Ok, first of all, take two steps back and try and look at this with a bit of objective. Firstly, he is married, therefor he should be totally off limits to you. He sounds like a total ass, because he is essentially flirting with you, a teen... (read in full...)

A.   24 March 2010: Your male friend is probably backing off, because he is worried what your boyfriend might do if he gets too close. We all have an inbuilt warning system, especially when it comes to other peoples BF/GF. If we respect a friend and their relationship, ... (read in full...)

A.   22 March 2010: The condom doesnt just stop pregnancy, it also prevents against disease. Pills are also not 100% safe, and can fail. My cousin is living proof of that! Sadly men use many excuses not to use condoms. A lot of guys dont like them, and will try and ... (read in full...)

A.   8 March 2010: Don't lie to your parents. If you want them to treat you like an adult, then you need to act like one. If they find out that you lied to them, they will lose all trust in you, and be even more restrictive with you in the future. They will probably ... (read in full...)

A.   6 March 2010: I think you have been conned. Why did you not use contraception? Why did you have sex with her so soon after meeting her for the first time? The fact that you tried to use the pull out method (which is unreliable the majority of times), and she ... (read in full...)

A.   5 March 2010: I think sex and friends is a very dodgy bit of ground to be walking on in the first place. If you dont want to lose her as a friend, dont have sex with her - in any form. I really dont understand this new trend for giving BJ at the drop of a hat! It ... (read in full...)

A.   4 March 2010: Short answer, no, at 16, having a baby and going to college really would not work. It doesnt matter how hard working you are, pregnancy takes its toll on even the most academic and dedicated of people. You would not be able to put in all the requ... (read in full...)

A.   4 March 2010: Ok, from what you have said, it sounds like you are just getting yourself into a state over this. If you are unsure, then take a test. If you were careful, and took precautions, then you should be ok, but I worry that this is a symptom of you not ... (read in full...)

A.   2 March 2010: I would say be careful. There are a lot of guys who go on dating sites and they like to "browse". You have been "dating" for 6 weeks, which really isnt a long period of time, and you don't know how many other women he approached, or has been tal... (read in full...)

A.   27 February 2010: A one night stand, is a one night stand regardless of if it is a stranger or someone you have known for years. If it is only sex, and only for odd occasions, it makes no difference. Sleeping around with multiple men is just that, doesnt matter if ... (read in full...)
