A.   1 March 2014: My wife had a natural birth for our first child, but it hurt so much that she didn't want to do it for the second child. The second time around it was a lot easier, but even with an epidural there was plenty of pain. Normally there is less the... (read in full...)

Q.   6 months into our relationship my girlfriend went on holiday and I later found out that she had a threesome with two men she met in a nightclub while she was away. After she said it was just a crazy one off I forgave her. But I just can't get ...

A.   28 February 2014: My reply didn't tell you to break up, I said that you're feeling this way for a good reason. You can't just turn it off, it's not like you have a psychological problem. The only remedy is to figure out why she cheated and to solve that problem,... (read in full...)

Q.   im 14 turning 15 and my lover has just turned 23 and we are pretty far apart in age but does it really matter? we do not have a sexual relationship and nobody except a close adult friend of mine knows, I feel the urge to tell my mother that im in ...

A.   28 February 2014: I'm going to be honest and say that not everyone is the same, but for consistency we make rules that apply to everyone. When I was 22 i unknowingly briefly dated a 15 year old. It didn't occur to me to ask because she acted the same as anyone e... (read in full...)

A.   28 February 2014: Do you see yourself marrying this guy or spending the rest of your life with him? I'm doubting it. So why not just end it now since it seems to be a source of such frustration? ... (read in full...)

A.   27 February 2014: I'd say that you can't stop thinking about it and feeling insecure with some magic trick, mostly because she has proven untrustworthy. Your not having unwarranted feelings, this is your brain trying to protect you. ... (read in full...)

Q.   Hey its me again.I've been hurt by guys from time I started having boyfriend Which is at 19 .I have never had a real boyfriend before until now,I'm someone who likes older guys but this one I have now is only 20 and doesn't seem to be what I want. I ...

A.   27 February 2014: Some people feel passion when the other person makes them chase them and work for their affection. Maybe your boyfriend is too nice? Your mom is kind of right. If you find your boyfriend attractive and he treats you great, that's a good start. I... (read in full...)

Q.   im in love with my sons ex mother in law and she loves me but she says that we will never be able to get together because of her kids and our mutual grand son. our relationship is secret from everyone. i help her with money. we kiss but i ask her i ...

A.   27 February 2014: Hmmm, the "relationship" is a secret and you're giving her money. That doesn't sound good at all, especially since you both appear to be single. When a woman likes a guy but is afraid he might be only wanting sex from her people usually suggest ... (read in full...)

He's so special to me, but I wonder if I'm just one more of the countless girls for him

Q.   I'm having a hard time coming to terms with my boyfriend's past. In the beginning, I knew he had been somewhat promiscuous but I didn't know to what extent. I have never been promiscuous myself, although I have had no strings attached sex, only a ...

A.   26 February 2014: Love means a lot when you're having sex. And although I doubt you're the most sexually skilled person he's ever been with, it's certainly possible that the bond he has with you is greater than anyone he's been with, and that can make sex quite a bit ... (read in full...)

Will he be better to her than he was to me?

Q.   Will he be different with her? My husband and I divorced mainly because he was very emotionally/verbally abusive and he walked out. We have a child together-so I try to maintain a civil relationship with him because of that. He has a girlfr...

A.   25 February 2014: It's likely it'll be the same. But there are personalities that are more compatible with potentially abusive people. Some women tolerate abuse because they're afraid. Other women will not put up with it, which may help the other person keep it ... (read in full...)

Q.   I've been a single mom since my daughter was 8 months old. My ex and I got along and then i found out that he cheated on ( he fooled around with a girl at a party) we decided that we would break up but We have been co parenting my daughter and ...

A.   25 February 2014: Mistakes happen. It's not like he had a relationship and repeatedly chose to do something that would hurt you. People are also capable of learning from their mistakes and changing. I do think it's important to address what happened... Why did ... (read in full...)

A.   25 February 2014: That's not the best way to find a guy interested in a relationship or your feelings for that matter. Now if you had dated for awhile and he didn't contact you after the first time you had sex, it'd be different. ... (read in full...)

A.   24 February 2014: You don't need an explanation, it's pretty obvious that he loves his girlfriend and is somewhat comfortable with her, but he's not totally happy either. You guys knew each other just enough for him to romanticize you, but it wasn't enough for him to ... (read in full...)

A.   24 February 2014: Tell him to go to counseling, or go to couple's counseling with him. If he doesn't agree then it's got to be over. He's not being logical so reasoning with him won't help. ... (read in full...)

A.   24 February 2014: Unfortunately you've come to the point where you realize that he's just not the right person for you. It's very hard to break up with someone who you love, but it's sometimes necessary. And the truth is that finding love is actually quite ea... (read in full...)

Hurtful comments from stranger .........

A.   24 February 2014: Uhhhh.... I'm confused by this... I've seen countless "ugly" people and never seen grown men laughing at them. I can't even imagine it. Is there something odd about you in particular? Crazy haircut? Huge boobs/butt? Is it possible that th... (read in full...)

Q.   Help, my boyfriend, we've been together for 2 years and he thinks I'm cheating because I feel "loose", and I feel it to. We used to have sex everyday, but it began to lessen. Now we have sex once every two weeks, and even then I still feel loose, I ...

A.   24 February 2014: Your problem isn't your vagina, it's your boyfriend. He's insecure and there's not much you can do to change it since his feelings aren't based in reality. Regarding your looseness, kegals take awhile, just like going to the gym. Speaking... (read in full...)

A.   24 February 2014: You know what? This is a ridiculous thing to ask of someone, and that's why you're not coming up with anything. Love details are a personal thing. If I was you I'd tell her as much. You'll find out soon enough that women like to see how much you... (read in full...)

Q.   Has anyone else ever thought about something an ex did even though you've been broken up for a year and a half? The thing he did was two years ago. I don't want to say what it was. I cry nearly every day. My parents think I'm mentally ill as I ...

A.   23 February 2014: Well, mentally ill is a term that gets thrown around a lot, especially as an insult. It doesn't mean that you're crazy. It means that your normal brain activity is impaired, more or less. So yes, I'd say you're probably mentally ill, maybe be... (read in full...)

A.   23 February 2014: "You're sweet" isn't always the best thing to hear from a woman. Suffice it to say that she's not available and she knows you like her so she's trying to be nice when she says she's not interested. ... (read in full...)

Q.   I am so worried that I don't enjoy sex because I'm too worried thinking about whether I'm living up to expectations or being good in bed. I'm 21 and not a virgin but had very little sexual experience all with guys who used me and at the time me b...

A.   22 February 2014: Misunderstandings? True love doesn't go it's separate ways because of some misunderstandings. It sounds to me like you have a classic case of the grass being greener on the other side. If you and your wife get along well then you have a lot bett... (read in full...)

Q.   Hi everyone, I have posted about this previously but I'm still in the same predicament. Basically, I am currently dating a lovely guy but I'm really unsure of my feelings for him. We met online but decided to be friends (he was keen, I didn't feel ...

A.   21 February 2014: Obviously true love is real but if you have no good reason why you aren't into him it may be something you need to talk about with a therapist. Maybe you're attracted to the wrong type of guy? If you think that's silly then he could just be a lit... (read in full...)

Q.   Dear Cupid, I'm 24 years old and have never been in a relationship. But three weeks ago, I met this guy, and we've been dating since (1-2 times a week). Things are going great. We get along, we laugh together, and we've had sex (he was my fir...

A.   21 February 2014: He's not your boyfriend, you're "dating". It's too early for some people to commit, but if it feels right then go ahead. My guess is that he's not very interested in making things official, but he likes you and is happy he's getting laid. Be... (read in full...)

A.   21 February 2014: First of all, I'd address the no sex thing unless that's okay with you. Because if you're not having sex very often before marriage you'll likely not be having any sex at all after a couple years of marriage. I'd normally say she's just being a ... (read in full...)

A.   20 February 2014: It's time to tell her that you no longer want to be strung along and you don't want to see her anymore. She may care for you, but she's only with you physically until someone else comes along, which seems to be happening. She's using you because ... (read in full...)

My boyfriend won't have sex with me

Q.   Me and my boyfriend have been together for 4 years. We are both 22.We used to have a great sex life but over the last 6 months, he doesnt want sex with me. I'd say this has happened gradually, before I had hope but now I know it's useless. He says ...

A.   20 February 2014: The issue, to me, is less about the amount of sex you're having but rather his unwillingness to listen to your pleas and act on them. You've done everything you can, it's time to decide if this is a deal breaker or not. It's always very diff... (read in full...)
