I'm 18 years older than him, I know its crazy but its so intoxicating!
Q. I feel like I've completely lost my mind here, so maybe someone can give me some perspective. I'm a 38 year-old mother of one. I've been divorced for years. I've always thought of myself as a rational person until now. For reasons I cannot explain, ...
A. 20 May 2017: I think its healthy. Who doesnt need hot sex? Keep at it. As far as a relationship goes, I dont think it is meant for life either. But who says you need to marry him? Enjoy the sex and the thrill. But use protection unless youve both had the ... (read in full...)

Q. How many years apart is too many? The man I love is 13 years older than me, I believe it's one sided, but I'm just curious on what people believe. He's also engaged, could this possibly work out for me at all?...
A. 19 May 2017: The age gap isnt the worst, Ive seen age gaps this big work just fine. But your age is a problem, and him being engaged is a problem. If you were over 25 years old and he was single, I would say go for it. But you need to respect that he is a taken ... (read in full...)

A. 15 May 2017: So here is the thing. There is no rule saying you need to form a close bond with kids. Blood related or not. And trust me, the kids dont care either way. They have other adults to form meaningful relationships with. And there is no such thing as ... (read in full...)

How can I encourage my husband to take better care of his skin?

A. 9 May 2017: You dont. You need to leave him be. If he does not want to focus on skin care, then you need to respect this. I dont think its a matter of being lazy. Its a matter of what is important to you. To him, skin care is not important. ... (read in full...)
What purpose does it serve to have women's clothing that exposes so much skin?
Q. Hey all, I have questions about women's fashion. This will probably make more sense to folks from the eastern part of the world. I'm sorry if this hurts sentiments but this is something I really do not understand. My city has changed a lot i...
A. 8 May 2017: Womens fashion has always been about what men want. Until only recently, you see more womens fashion in clothes that women themselves have designed and want. All from "traditonal clothing" to 1980's style and 1990's style is mostly about what men ... (read in full...)
