A.   28 December 2016: Running isn't for everyone. Some say it will ruin your knees by time you are 40. Gym doesn't suit some people either. Cycling or walking are good exercise. Some like swimming but I find swimming in a pool boring. I think the bottom line is to find ... (read in full...)

Is it wrong for a man to look at and flirt with women other than his significant other?

Q.   Is it wrong for a man to look at and flirt with women other than his significant other? Why or why not?...

A.   28 December 2016: It depends on the flirting. It also depends on where and who else is present. A bit of harmless flirting makes the world go round. It can make people feel good about themselves. It won't be taken as a serious suggestion of something more. Howev... (read in full...)

Should I continue this? Let him visit and spend more time together? Or is it sounding too unhealthy?

Q.   This is a hard question for me to put out there because it involves a relationship I am in with someone I really like and care about. However, I have made so many unhealthy choices in my past and I don't want to do that anymore. I think some...

A.   27 December 2016: I think you could let the relationship develop a little and see how it goes. Then at some point you need to talk about your concerns. My stepdad used to go to the pub every night before he got married. It was more to do with company than drin... (read in full...)

Do you guys have any advice on how to stay confident and keep myself afloat when living in a world that doesn't deem you as beautiful or worthwhile?

Q.   So I'm a 22 year old gay guy and I've never had a boyfriend or any sort of relationship in my life. I always used to think that I would only share myself and my body with someone I love and care about (At least when it comes to firsts like first ...

A.   27 December 2016: I believe you need to concentrate on your life. Your predilection for finding love has led you into a side of gay life of which I can only speak of third hand. I have heard their is a culture of casual and immediate sex which many men find ... (read in full...)

A.   24 December 2016: I accept that you acted from the best of motives but I think you ought to stop now. He has made his feelings clear hasn't he. Get on with your own life and leave him to his.... (read in full...)

What does it mean to say a guy is "sharp"? is such a guy shy or just cunning?

Q.   Dear Aunts, So I heard that he is "Sharp" and is good with the ladies. But he has been staring at me for weeks now and not making a move. So is he shy or just cunning? what you think?...

A.   22 December 2016: No, what do you think? Your intuition should be telling you something. To describe someone as sharp never means shy. If he is cunning and not just 'sharp' are you a match for him? ... (read in full...)

Q.   Hi my husbands first love is trying to get in contact with him. He's not sure yet if he will reply to email. I'm not sure how I feel about this,on the one hand I want him to do what he wants but on the other I'm a bit concerned about feelings being ...

A.   21 December 2016: I think it is rather sweet. It has been thirty years. I think you should meet her with your partner. As long as there is nothing under the counter there is no harm - that is if you are confident your relationship is strong. When he see her carr... (read in full...)

Why would my guy friend think I should continue to listen to him talking about his past relationships with other women? What should I say to him?

Q.   Dear Cupid,my guy friend and I have been friends for a while and we wanted to take it to a next level but today we had a little spat it's crazy to me but it's whatever. Long story short he has a thing for high yellow complexed women and that's f...

A.   21 December 2016: I can understand that you a tired of hearing about his past women. It is very insensitive. All I can suggest is you give him one chance and make all clear, one chance only to tell everything, and then the topic is off limits for good. No-one want... (read in full...)

My wife is not interested in group sex. How can I stop having an urge to participate in group sex? I need to stop these urges, but how?

Q.   I have always fantasized about group sex. While there is nothing unusual about this, I'mean worried that the degree to which I want it is harmful. My wife and I have been married for twenty years and about a decade ago I decided that it was my o...

A.   21 December 2016: I think you should take some CBT. It is one thing to fantasise, but another to try and inveigle you wife into it. It will completely change the dynamic of your marriage and there will be no turning back. What you had will be gone, and you may not ... (read in full...)

A.   19 December 2016: I think N91 is probably right. You have wasted too much of this woman's time. But, if you walk away from her never look back. It sounded on first reading as if she were a good match. However your words are revealing: "If we were friends, I don't ... (read in full...)

A.   16 December 2016: Are these really cliques, or just groups of people who get on? And if they get on why don't they get on with you? If you don't have any friends it's your fault. What is it about you that makes people not want to include you? I think you can prob... (read in full...)

A.   12 December 2016: Accept you made an error proposing while you were drunk and extricate yourself now. If you are uncomfortable with it now it will only get worse. Be strong for both of you. Cut yourself free.... (read in full...)

Dogs versus the Christmas with family? I'm so angry right now, what do I do? I'm 32.

Q.   I'm so annoyed right now. I've invited my parents to my house for Christmas but they've declined because I won't allow them to bring their dogs. They have 3 huge dogs and I don't want them in my house. I cannot believe they would rather sit alon...

A.   12 December 2016: It sounds as if they are happier with the dogs. What can you do? Christmas is such a strain on families. What happened last year? I know pets become part of the family, but it sounds as if they are more important than kith and kin. Nothing ... (read in full...)

I'm hoping he's bi, because he could be my soulmate! What should I do?

Q.   a girl moved into the apartment below me in the same building as me (unit of 6 apartments). she has 2 kids aged 3 and 5, throughout the year we exchanged numbers, talked about things mostly info about the apartment or how to fix something etc. ...

A.   12 December 2016: Why don't you arrange for a hamper and perhaps a couple of gifts for the children to be delivered anonymously? Nothing could be simpler by internet. Then you can do the Santa thing properly by denying all knowledge of where they came from. ... (read in full...)

I trust my boyfriend, but this girl makes me a little nervous. Opinions?

Q.   My boyfriend is going out all day with his "bestfriend" who is a girl today (they've never done that before but they have hung out) and he never told me about it or what they were going to do. I found out because I looked at what he was typing o...

A.   10 December 2016: Yes, he is being insensitive. You need to ask him if your position was reversed would he be quite happy with it. It may be, because of his youth, he doesn't have the same level of commitment as you. You might have to suggest to him that if he isn't ... (read in full...)

A.   9 December 2016: It seems to me that you both have feelings for each other and have acted with respect to each other. If the option of happiness with this man seems realistic then grasp it with both hands. You have already shared living space so anything onlookers ... (read in full...)

My partner is dismissive of thngs that are important to me

Q.   Hi all, A quick one. My partner and I seem to be bothered by different things (or he's not bothered at all) and it often sees him accidentally dismissing what I deem as important or not meeting my needs. This has lately come to head twice. ...

A.   8 December 2016: He will never change unless he realises there are consequences. This is a situation a lot of couples face. You have to decide how important the issues are, and set limits. If he either can't or won't meet your requests then what do you do? You ... (read in full...)

A.   8 December 2016: I think you should be worried about him. It is one thing to get into a bit of bondage if that turns you on. It is another to want to film it - I mean, why would you if you are going to immediately delete it? Only do things you want to do. I have... (read in full...)

A.   7 December 2016: You don't say what you do. Is it a job in which you are supposed to be able to take the pressure? Are you being tested to see if you can hack it? Otherwise what would be the reason for her trying to knock your confidence? You have only just got ... (read in full...)

Q.   I been with my gf for 3 years. I see her for 1-2 days every week or two. Usually the fun for her wears off after few hours, how she treats me when I arrive to couple hours later. She never really does anything for me anymore, any cooking. I have to ...

A.   6 December 2016: It is better to throw away three years, if you want to look at it that way, than continuing this charade. Your relationship has run out of steam and there is no indication she wants to rekindle it. It is time to call it quits while you both have... (read in full...)

I like her in 'that' way but she has a boyfriend and I'm not in a position to date right now either. How do I stop myself from falling for her?

Q.   Over the last year or so, I became good friends with this woman I work with. We get along really well, but I don't see or talk to her often outside of work, or anything like that, though. I think I'm starting to like her a little more; actually, ...

A.   6 December 2016: I am struggling to understand your situation. Why are you not in a position to date? That aside, you pretty much answered your own question. So I'm afraid it's cold showers for you until you are available.... (read in full...)

A.   6 December 2016: The best advice I can give you, or to anyone for that matter, is, 'Know What You Want'. Don't settle for what comes your way. You must be more choosy. If things go wrong then learn from the mistake - because it was your choice! Don't blame the univ... (read in full...)

A.   6 December 2016: Trying to unpick your post was not the easiest thing. Essentially I think you and she need to go to mediation. This should take place in a calm neutral place where you can put your points of view calmly, and be listened to. You can get free hel... (read in full...)

A.   6 December 2016: It's going to be fine. These days no-one should feel any pain at the dentist's. I imagine your abscess is on a molar or premolar, therefore the gap won't be very visible after the extraction. Were it to be at the front there are options to disguise ... (read in full...)

A.   5 December 2016: You know, Aidan's right. This one is taken. Why did you bed him in the first place? Was it because it was easy? I think you are a better person than this. Your role isn't to be the other woman. Perhaps you and he needed each other that one nigh... (read in full...)

Q.   I have a friend who lives abroad and we talk a lot on Facebook. I went over there to visit her and met her friend who didn't speak much English (codename J). We were all out together and had a good time, but the language barrier could be an issue...

How should I approach this issue? I feel that my wife is ashamed of me

Q.   I have been married to my wife since 2001 (15 years now). One thing that has always bothered me is how while I introduce her to all of my friends I only get to meet some of hers. She is a lot more social than I am and has a lot larger social ci...

A.   3 December 2016: Yes it's true. You are being over-generous, and then doing 'poor me'. There might be something else going on too. Do you suffer from SAD. This is a bad time of year for anyone who has ever had a problem with depression. If this might be you... (read in full...)

A.   2 December 2016: This boy hasn't the maturity to be in a relationship with you. He isn't ready for it. You have to detach yourself to stop getting hurt more. He hasn't committed to you in the same way as you seem to be prepared to commit to him. So put him to o... (read in full...)

A.   2 December 2016: Well it it is what it is, but it isn't as bad as you think it is. I have had several implants. There is no pain. I can't say it is a pleasant experience, but considering the alternative, false teeth, it is worth it. There is a period of time whil... (read in full...)

Giving it another chance

Q.   Hi guys, I'm in a bad situation at the moment and have never felt so hurt before. I've never really trusted my partner 100% and I was correct for that as I found that he had the intention of sleeping with somebody behind my back which is extremel...

A.   30 November 2016: What you have to understand is that the relationship you had is finished. It's over. It will never be the same again. You know that don't you? The question for you both is whether you are able or even want to build something new together. A lot of t... (read in full...)

A.   30 November 2016: Clearly you can't wait forever for something that might never happen. Tell her you are moving on. If you want you can give her a month to split from her current partner. I don't think it will make a difference. You are just plan B in case her curr... (read in full...)

A.   30 November 2016: You have to take a conscious decision to not care. If you must console yourself do so in the thought that the pair probably deserve each other, and be grateful she took him off your hands. All this enmity you are harbouring is, as they say, lik... (read in full...)

Q.   I'm a guy who is happily married in a long term relationship. While sex can sometimes be an issue between us- she has a very low sex drive- and it's often a discussion/argument that we have, it's not so bad that I would consider ending the ...

A.   29 November 2016: If your wife isn't into sex in the same way as you would she be happy to let you make other arrangements? The French seem to be more comfortable with this sort of thing than the British. It seems unfair to be deceiving your wife and yet I can ... (read in full...)
