Is he just projecting his insecurities onto me so he can feel better about himself?

Q.   A guy I was dating told me he didn't want to date me anymore because I still live at home (I'm 28) but I work full time and I pay my parents rent, and I am in school part time to be a nurse. I already have my Bachelor Degree in elementary education, ...

A.   1 April 2011: Sounds like you two are not compatible. I don't think either of you are "losers", just living life differently. He probably has issues with your parents' house b/c he wants to smoke pot and watch movies but can't at your parents' place. You ... (read in full...)

A.   1 April 2011: Well, whatever his intentions are I can almost guarantee his betrothed wife is not aware that he is meeting up for lunch with his ex-lover. Sometimes technology is such a hindrance. Sometimes it's best to move on and leave people in the pa... (read in full...)

A.   1 April 2011: Sometimes it is too late for a second chance. What people don't realize about emotional abuse is that it tears apart one's soul. It's more than just "falling out of love with you" at this point. It's about her regaining herself and all she lost ... (read in full...)

My exwife has trained my 9 year old daughter to hate my fiance.

Q.   My 9 year old daughter has been trained by my ex wife to hate my fiancé. My daughter refuses to be near her so, when my kids are with me, my fiancé is not. To make matters worse, my daughter's therapist seems to be enabling the hate. This has been ...

A.   11 February 2011: "Calm down there cowboy, this ain't no rodeo" Chances are he's being so rough b/c he thinks it's what you'll like or what impresses you. Communication is the key to a great sex life. But if he is rough and likes it that way, well, you may have... (read in full...)

A.   11 February 2011: I agree with FloridaGirl. Join some clubs! Your parents will not likely decline your advancing your educational opportunities and you will make some friends. Also, seek out part time employment. It will give you a sense of the monetary part of ... (read in full...)

How do I deal with my girlfriend's irrational behavior?

Q.   Yesterday my girlfriend and I had another fight and she provoqued me by saying she had no money to buy the plane ticket so I should be the one doing it. I did it. When she saw I could do it she started to play victim saying that she didn't want to ...

A.   18 January 2011: A. Let her go. If she is attached to pain now, it will only get worse with time. If you are an otherwise healthy and happy individual, then you need someone who will improve your life, not drag it down. Imagine her as the mother of your chi... (read in full...)
