I called off the wedding. But how do I get past the guilt if I leave him?

Q.   I was until recently, engaged to be married. I called off the wedding because my fiancé yells a lot, is very stressed (life choices, poor planning, disorganization, plus regular stresses of job, kids, etc.), blames me and others for everything, ...

A.   26 June 2014: A little bit of guilt is natural, but certainly better than being miserable for your marriage. Just dump him for God sakes. Just hearing about him is annoying I can't imagine being with someone like that. ... (read in full...)

A.   26 June 2014: I don't think it matters if you're right, wrong, insecure, or secure. YOU'RE NOT HAPPY. If you're not happy what's the point of being with him? Will the paranoia go away anytime soon? Are you sure he won't cheat? Is this how you want to live? ... (read in full...)

A.   26 June 2014: If you don't like the fact that your boyfriend doesn't give you money then you're with the wrong guy. ... (read in full...)

Etiquette for sex and periods??

Q.   I have recently got a new boyfriend, everything's going well, but I have a question so looking for some advice for people in the same situation. We have a lot of sex, which is great, I'm loving it, especially after having none for a good few years...

A.   26 June 2014: If he's a grown man then a pad shouldn't bug him. However, if you think you'll be getting intimate you should do a smell check. Sometimes women can be a little smellier than normal during their periods and it may be enough to at least keep him from ... (read in full...)

Q.   Hey everybody, So my gf and I went on a vacation last week. On the third day of our (up untill this point lovely) vacation I noticed her recieving a text message and her acting shady. In all these years I have NEVER allowed myself to be jealous. S...

A.   26 June 2014: I would never have guessed you weren't a native speaker so no need to add that apology anymore. I think you're second guessing yourself because of the "who knows" nature of the situation. What she was doing was inappropriate. The attentio... (read in full...)

How can I find out if he's interested without making it awkward?

Q.   I’ve known this guy for about 4 months now. We usually see each other just at church every Sunday, but we sometimes hang out with a group and go to dinner and/or a movie. I usually end up walking/sitting beside him and I developed a crush on him ...

A.   26 June 2014: How about the old fashioned way: ask him out. There's no reason a "no thanks" has to be awkward. "I'm sorry I see you more as a friend." is the likely "no" answer. Nothing to worry about. The yes answer would be worth the chance wouldn't ... (read in full...)

He went away without me and I feel like I need to even the score

Q.   My BF of a year and a half is away for a month. Visiting family in South America. I am not going because I have no $$. He knows this and still went for a month without me. I am hurt and jealous and annoyed. It comes after several rocky months of him ...

A.   25 June 2014: The best suggestion I can give is to start thinking of things from his point of view. Because you can't afford to go with him he shouldn't be able to visit his family? If you don't think that's okay then it's time to learn to be less selfish. ... (read in full...)

How can I trust my boyfriend when he promises he won't cheat on me again?

Q.   I want to be able to trust my boyfriend, I really do but at times I can't help but doubt what he says when I know he has cheated and lied to me before. We have been together on and off for four years, nearly five. He cheated on me after about a ye...

A.   25 June 2014: There's a good reason you can't trust him and it's not your insecurities... It's the fact that he's repeatedly cheated on you. To make matters worse he's been able to get you back every time, so if he is tempted again he'll probably just tell him... (read in full...)

Q.   She told she is not ready for relationship, I've been dating her for nine months. Now and all of the sudden this happens. What do i do ? Do i wait ? We headed off since we first met everything was good we had great conversations we wen...

A.   24 June 2014: More than likely she's realized that you're not 'the one'. It can take awhile for people to realize that, but when they do its more or less over. It's possible that you're just incompatible. It's also possible that she really likes you but does... (read in full...)

A.   24 June 2014: I forgot to add that there are plenty of careers that may not make you rich but are very enjoyable. My brother is a whale watching captain and gets to spend lots of time on the boat and at the beach, among other things. Another frien... (read in full...)

A.   24 June 2014: While being a cop may be glamorous to some people I don't think it's a particularly enjoyable job and it can be dangerous, especially for women as men tend to feel like they can get the best of them. Women police officers probably get assaulted more ... (read in full...)

A.   22 June 2014: You're still with him because you hope he'll choose you and return. Well, he had that chance and he obviously is not choosing you. No big deal, he wasn't right for you anyways. So, realize that he won't choose you, now or later, and that even if ... (read in full...)

We're not handling conflict well in this relationship

Q.   Hello, How do I handle it when my boyfriend (of one year) gets mad at me for getting mad at him when HE does something wrong, hurtful, disrespectful. Then after I get mad about it (rightfully so, these are big things) he does something WORSE ...

A.   20 June 2014: How do you know that the things you're getting mad at him for doing are things that he agrees with? Not everyone has the same idea of what's wrong. If he's doing something you don't like on a regular basis then you're going to have to get used... (read in full...)

A.   18 June 2014: It's not your job to take care of him, he's a grown man. If he wants to neglect you that's his right and he has to live with the potential consequences. If you stay with him you'll always be unhappy. ... (read in full...)

A.   18 June 2014: Instead of sitting there looking confused you could have asked him to clarify. It could have been a good conversation. You can still ask him if you're curious but I can't tell you what it means since it doesn't make a lot of sense. ... (read in full...)

How do you know when men just want a break and when they want to end things

A.   16 June 2014: I think the real problem here is that you think this is as good as it gets. Her dishonesty and lack of concern for your feelings should be a deal breaker... Let's just say she really only wants friends. Why would she lie about her relation... (read in full...)
