My wife wants a separation. How can make her love me again?

Q.   Been married for 28 years - have two teenage children. My wife has said she has no feelings for me any longer and wants to separate. I am so hurt and upset. She has admitted the separation is purely selfish on her part but does not want to thin...

A.   30 May 2014: I agree that this limbo is now way to live. I know you wanted this year to "fix" things, but it's clear that she is not interested in that right now, and being close to you is pushing her away. All hope is not lost however. Being truly separate... (read in full...)

A.   21 May 2014: I would have been there for her verbally, but obviously intimacy with you at this point is not on her wish list, so you should avoid it. Right now it's more likely to push her away then bring her back. If it's appropriate again you will probably... (read in full...)

A.   18 May 2014: I think at this stage your judgment is probably clouded, so it's hard to say if there was anything going on. I know that when things were rough between my wife and I every time her phone twitched I got paranoid. One thing you need to realize ... (read in full...)

A.   10 May 2014: That situation is both good and bad. At least being away from each other could give her time to miss and appreciate you. Without a little space she may start resenting you. So I'd definitely give her room. My wife and I went through a similar ... (read in full...)

What Can I Do? She is cramping my style!

Q.   I have a friend who is socially awkward or shy. We met when I moved to a new town and I thought she was a nice girl, so I used to invite her to things. But recently she has been really bothering me because she is really clingy and when she comes out ...

A.   4 May 2014: No, you have no obligation toward her other than being a decent person. I didn't mean to seem as if she's blameless here, she obviously has some issues. I still feel that talking with her is the right thing to do, which you didn't adress in your ... (read in full...)

A.   4 May 2014: Sorry to say this, but she's not the problem, you are. You can't fault her for the fact that she really likes you and enjoys spending time with her. If you need space you need to say something. On day two on the bus you could have said "I'm goi... (read in full...)

My boyfriend of 2 years broke up with me and has no reason for doing so

Q.   I am so devastated, I am not sure what to think or what happened. I have been with my boyfriend for two years, we are the same age, we both have children (no children together) but out of the blue.... he broke up with me. I asked for a reason he had ...

A.   3 May 2014: There is a reason. You didn't do anything wrong, but if you two were compatible he would probably still be with you. Obviously he doesn't feel like you're a good match. I'd cease all contact like previously suggested. It'll help you get over him... (read in full...)

Never had a Boyfriend but I keep on getting crushes on guys. Now I like a guy who's in a LDR. What advice can you give me please?

Q.   Dear Cupid, I have not been lucky with love. I have never had a boyfriend nor sex. I have come to accept that for me, relationship is not in my way. Probably because I am disabled. Unfortunately,my heart just will not listen my problem. I k...

A.   3 May 2014: I don't know how to stop waiting normal human urges. I do know that being disabled can be hard on your love life. I have a friend who is in a wheelchair and had less luck with women before his injury than after. He's a great guy though and does ... (read in full...)

Could an attractive real woman make a guy less interested in porn?

Q.   Right here is a question I possibly know the answer to. Lets say a guy likes a lot of porn, glamour mags, sexy photos etc. is here any way him finding a real woman who is attractive in looks and personality can change this or at least lessen it? ...

A.   2 May 2014: I'd rather have a woman than porn any day. When sex has been regular I rarely watch porn as I believe it can have some negative effects. ... (read in full...)

My B/f doesn't want to get married because he doesn't want to support me with medical bills and marrying me will have a bad effect on his retirement fee

Q.   My boyfriend of 4 years told me that he doesn't want to get married anymore.. And his reasons are very selfish in my opinion. He said he doesn't want to support me with medical bills, or that marrying me will have a bad effect on his retirement fee. ...

A.   2 May 2014: No offense, but he's not being selfish in a bad way, he's just looking out for himself as people have to do sometimes. You're a huge liability. No job, no savings, no retirement, nothing. That's a big risk he'd be taking to marry you. If you're not ... (read in full...)

I had sex with a friend in a troubled relationship. How do I tell her that it was not to take advantage of her?

Q.   I have been friends with a classmate for a long time. She is in a relationship for three years now. I tried befriending her boyfriend, but he seemed arrogant and did not respond warmly. So I chose to remain distant from him, but did not tell the ...

Q.   I am 35 years old and I have three older sisters. The middle one is 45 years old and twice-divorced. She has been having an affair with a married man from her work for almost three years now. He says he has to stay with his wife for the kids but...

A.   2 May 2014: When this guy dumps her and leaves her broken hearted (he will not leave his wife for her when he doesn't have to) then you can have your laughs, buy until then nothing you say is going to change your sisters inconsiderate behavior. Don't... (read in full...)

I had a threesome before I got married. Do I tell my husband?

Q.   I was involved in a once only threesome with my ex bf and another girl. Deeply regretted. Should I tell the man I married later? He has had premarital sex but not of this kind....

A.   2 May 2014: Why would you? You are allowed to keep some things personal. Just because he's your husband doesn't mean he needs to know all of your secrets, especially when they're not going to affect the relationship or you're not hiding who you really are from ... (read in full...)

My friends tell me I should give my boyfriend a BJ

Q.   A lot of my friends are wanting me to give my boyfriend a blowjob, and he agreed to wanting me too when i asked. But i feel like we are kind of young for this to be happening. My friends said it was okay because we have been dating for 6 months, but ...

A.   2 May 2014: I'd never go faster than I felt comfortable with because someone else recommended it. NEVER. You have a lifetime to give BJ's if you want, there's no reason to be in a hurry. FYI BJ's usually lead to sex. Are you ready for that? Ready to a... (read in full...)

A.   1 May 2014: I wouldn't start wondering about cheating. So many people keep their phones close by at all times. It's only a sign of cheating when you're looking for that kind of thing. And going out with her friends on Wednesday sounds reasonable for a woman who ... (read in full...)

Oral sex with no protection..should I worry about disease?

He was rough during sex and I bled from it. How do I bring this up?

Q.   I met this guy and we slept together but he was quite rough and I bled, I know why I bled, it's because I only lost my virginity a few months ago and I've only had sex twice since. He doesn't know this and assumed I was just coming on my period, how ...

A.   30 April 2014: I prefer the natural look personally, and in the rare occasions I watch porn that's what I look for. Some guys do prefer the porn star look, but that's something you can see with your clothes on, so I'm sure he realizes that you aren't a porn star ... (read in full...)

Should I be selfish for once or be the good girl?

Q.   Hi, I have this problem... I have this friend I've known for two years now and we always kind of liked each other. He's much older than I am and is in a relationship. Because we were such good friends, I know his girlfriend really well now too. Bu...

A.   30 April 2014: This is what I never understand about sex. I love it, but I can control myself enough to know when it's right and when it's wrong. It's not worth the momentary satisfaction to feel bad about myself later. ... (read in full...)

Q.   Dear Cupid I have an office friend, we know each other for almost 7 months. She is nice person, but i found one annoying thing about her which kind of hurts me as well. We used to go out for lunch few times, sometimes she leaves me and goes...

A.   30 April 2014: It does sound like you're acting a little childish here. She's a grown woman and can invite whoever she wants to lunch, it doesn't mean she's purposely NOT inviting you. It just means she went to lunch with someone else, as she should be allowed to ... (read in full...)

How to tell if she's only dating you for the money?

Q.   There are some things worrying me about my girlfriend. At first, things were great and I never really had to spend much. Lately, the more I shell out, the more she expects it and doesn't really say thank you. I take her out all the time, we go ...

A.   30 April 2014: Talk with her and tell her that you would like her to stop treating you like a bank. Then stop. Buy her only what you feel comfortable with and want to buy on your own. As soon as it feels like she'd be upset of you don't buy her something than ... (read in full...)

I feel like he just wants to go around and sleep around and then I'm just stuck here waiting for him to be done. How do I move on with my life?

Q.   So me and my boyfriend recently broke up. Maybe about 1 week ago. Our relationship has been very difficult, we dated for a little over a year. (14 months) our biggest issue was trust. I have caught him texting other girls throughout the ...

A.   30 April 2014: You blew it with the constant break ups. It undermines the foundation of your relationship, it's not a tool to be used to gain leverage. The truth, which I'm sure you're aware of, is that you guys are not a good couple. Love is meaningl... (read in full...)

A.   29 April 2014: I don't know how to fix what's happening to you, but the reason it's happening is because you just made a pretty huge commitment to him by way of a baby. You're subconsciously wondering if the man who will father your child is really someone who you ... (read in full...)

A.   29 April 2014: It's sounds to me like this has little to do with your values since you're having pre-marital sex, but rather fear of what your family might say. Unfortunately you guys seem to be at a standstill. You could suggest that you live closer together... (read in full...)

A.   29 April 2014: If you only want sex, end it. She obviously isn't on the same boat as you are. However, if you may want more, it could be that you only need to talk with her. The examples you've given don't seem too wierd to me, just a little annoying. But it c... (read in full...)

Am I a pan-romantic lesbian?

Q.   Ok so. I really do like guys a lot. And I kinda thought I was pansexual but honestly no matter how much I do like guys I never ever ever want to have srx with a guy and have never been sexually attracted to a guy. I think I might be a pan romantic ...

A.   27 April 2014: Labels aren't as important what makes you comfortable and happy is. You are also still quite young and discovering yourself. I have a lesbian friend who was confused until she was in her early 20's. I'm pretty sure that lesbian isn't the perfect ... (read in full...)

Sex/Intercourse with a partner versus Head/Fellatio with a partner? Why can't I orgasm from the latter and prefer Intercourse instead?

A.   26 April 2014: The more you try to force things at this point, the more likely it is she'll never want to hear from you again. Be a man and go along with the separation 110%. Enjoy your freedom. There's a possibility that seeing this will cause her to second g... (read in full...)
