We clearly want different things out of life!

Q.   My boyfriend and I broke up last year after months of arguing about what we wanted from our relationship. I wanted commitment, a family one day, our own home, whereas he wanted to stay living separately and just carry on taking things slowly. We had ...

A.   10 June 2014: You're talking about the future as if it's the present. If you want a kid now then have a kid. If you don't then wear protection. Having a kid now and later can be two very different things for people. When I was your age I had a girlfrie... (read in full...)

A.   10 June 2014: If expressing your needs makes you feel like you're smothering him that's part of the problem. Tell him. Plain and simple. Nothing you said here should be a problem for someone who cares about you and your happiness (actually I'd leave out the part ... (read in full...)

My lesbian girlfriend of 4 years had unprotected sex with a guy

Q.   My girlfriend and I have been together for four years (since she was 17 and I was 18). We have been through a lot together and it's been a rocky relationship to say the least. Her family is extremely religious but they have started to come around, ...

A.   10 June 2014: I can't tell you what her motivation was. What I really think is the issue is your willingness to stay in such a volatile relationship, and with a cheater no less. Is this what you think you deserve? I'd this what you think is normal? It doesn't ... (read in full...)

Would it be right for me to break up with my boyfriend of 7 months?

Q.   Would it be right for me if i broke up with my bf of 7 months? I dont knw but i am so confused. I love him so much, no doubt, and he is the reason why i am not double dating, but im really getting hurt. The worst aspect is dat he doesnt trust me, ...

A.   10 June 2014: Him being quiet doesn't automatically mean there was a girl there. He could have just not answered the phone in the first place. So I think you both have trust issues. I don't know what to help you with here, but you could just call him if you w... (read in full...)

Starting life from scratch at age 28! How do I start?

Q.   What do you do if you realize you have to start from scratch at the age of 28. I got abused in my childhood and sadly I let it affect me my whole life by playing the victim mentality- always feeling sorry for myself and basically just coming off ...

A.   10 June 2014: You only start life from scratch when you're born. You've had 28 years to become the person you are today. You may not think that's a whole lot, but it's what everyone else has. Besides, many people are still screwing around at 28. I'd start by... (read in full...)

Do I throw away all the good things I have with him for some facebook/google searches?

Q.   I love my boyfriend very much. I've been with him near two years with plenty of commitment on his part. But my heart is breaking because he can't let go of his ex girlfriend from four years ago. I know that everyone says - don't be second choice...

A.   9 June 2014: If this has just started happening I'd chalk it up to curiosity. If this has been going on forever then he may still have a thing for her. Then again if it's not frequent it still could be curiosity. I've looked up my exes on FB but have absolute... (read in full...)

Q.   Hi, after our 7th date together, my date kissed me, before we parted ways and although it was our first kiss shared, he decided to French kiss me and i was not expecting that, although i did enjoy our kiss very much. It was a little arkw...

A.   9 June 2014: I'll keep this simple: you are overthinking things. There is no "thanking someone for the French kiss I'm really attracted to you" etiquette. Just do what feels natural and this guy will know the real you. ... (read in full...)

A.   8 June 2014: It's hard to say if it's too late or not but he does have some pretty good reason to leave for good. There's no guaranteed way to get someone back, but there are things that will definitely not work: Begging Harassing Fighting Stalking Be... (read in full...)

A.   8 June 2014: The manner in which he told you is the only problem I see. I don't understand why you are so freaked out by this. Did you think he was a virgin? I also think it's weird for you to expect them to have mentioned it to you. Those kinds of details ... (read in full...)

A.   7 June 2014: The signs vary, and some may not be them wanting out but just the normal progression of a relationship. Pulling away is a good one. Too many arguments. No, or only a little bit of sex. What you need to know is that this girl is dysfunctional... (read in full...)

A.   7 June 2014: It has nothing to do with cheating. She either isn't into oral in general, or she doesn't like how you do it. Maybe you're to rough and she is too sensitive? Work with her to see if there's anything you can do differently. I have usually been com... (read in full...)

Q.   I'm so angry right now that I feel like I could burst! My boyfriend of 10 months spent the night at his ex wife's house after a drunken night out with pals, and even though I believe him when he says nothing happened, mainly because when he is THAT ...

A.   7 June 2014: I think you have a decent reason to be upset, but in the end what good is that? His friends called her, not him. He didn't tell you because he knew you'd get mad. He doesn't understand why you're so mad because he doesn't think he did anything... (read in full...)

Q.   I fell in love with her, but she won't talk to me now. I have trust issues, insecurities, and low-self esteem. But all of it suddenly disappeared when I met this girl. This girl (Let's call her Jessica) and I are in high school where I'm a juni...

A.   6 June 2014: What do you do now? Forget about her. She doesn't want to be your friend or your boyfriend. She doesn't care about apologies, clarifications, or anything of the sort. I'm being blunt with you because you need it. Don't feel too bad, you don't re... (read in full...)

A.   6 June 2014: This isn't evidence of cheating and he is a big boy that can take care of himself so it's not evidence that he's hurt either. While it can make people anxious to not hear from people when they say they'll call, it happens for perfectly legitimate ... (read in full...)

A.   6 June 2014: I agree with the other two answers, but with the type of person she is, it's a slippery slope to being taken advantage of, so be careful. Also, it's not your job to be responsible for her, so if you really don't want to then don't. If she ... (read in full...)

A.   5 June 2014: Why do you insist on denying what this is? You're someone to kill time with. THAT'S IT. If you start asking him for more the same thing will happen again. Either relax and enjoy the sex and casualness of what you have or find someone else who... (read in full...)

A.   4 June 2014: I think four years is more than long enough to get over someone. It also sounds to me like you're trying very hard to convince yourself that this doesn't mean anything and the only issue here is your jealousy. I disagree. I think that he's not... (read in full...)

A.   4 June 2014: Some people are just chronic liars. It's a defense mechanism learned as a child that sometimes goes away but often doesn't. I'm guessing there are professionals trained to deal with it. Maybe you could talk to him and tell him that you're n... (read in full...)

A.   4 June 2014: He works 68 hours a week. That's insane, and if you're going to work that much you better be paid well. In my opinion raising a family and enjoying life requires time to do so (money doesn't hurt). I imagine he doesn't have a lot of energy t... (read in full...)
