A.   11 November 2007: Just keep this in mind. If your teacher tries anything you let him know that you will not keep quiet about it. And don't let any threats worry you. If he does threaten you then you go straight to the office and report it. I am sure though t... (read in full...)

A.   10 November 2007: This is a difficult problem to take by the horns. It certainly would not be prudent to try to give you psychological counseling in this kind of setting. I have looked up a couple of articles on a website I trust implicitly. I am sure you will be ... (read in full...)

My husband doesn't like me very much anymore.

Q.   My husband doesn't seem excited about me anymore. He doesn't kiss or touch me passionately. He doesn't look in my eyes and makes his feelings known. He puts forth very little effort to make me feel emotionally fullfilled, even when I ask him to. ...

A.   10 November 2007: It is difficult to have to deal with all these kinds of problems. However, the place to start is in your own mind. Your own self esteem may need work but that is just the seed of the tree. It may be difficult but you need to smile even when you... (read in full...)

Q.   I dont get this, after my husband cheated on me. I gave him the divorce papers and then he started to beg me to not break up. Why things like this happen? I don't get why would you cheat and then when the person you are is leaving you beg them to ...

A.   10 November 2007: It sounds like he now realizes he screwed up and has had a chance to assess the situation and is now in a panic. He probably took you for granted and is now realizing the weight of the consequences. Doc... (read in full...)

To chase or not to chase?

Q.   I got this problem I'm undecided on what I to do. See the story goes like this. I'll admit growing up I never was really social, I was that insecure kid when i came to everything. I ended up meeting this wonderful girl 4 years ago. At the time I ...

A.   9 November 2007: Don't be too hard on him. He could have tried to hide the other dates from you, but he didn't. I think if he was not trust worthy you would have had to find out the other dates on your own. Has he given you any other reason(s) to distrust him... (read in full...)

Q.   I am 23 years old and have never had a real relationship before. I have had a boyfriend in the past but it was nothing serious. There was no real passion, love or a deep emotional connection between the two of us. Thinking back, there was nothing ...

A.   9 November 2007: Dear dear Joya, Take heart. Out there somewhere living and breating with a heart beating in his chest is someone for you! You just have not crossed paths as yet. Or maybe you have and just have not found it out yet. When I was your age I suffe... (read in full...)

A.   9 November 2007: For one thing, you need to stay the heck out of her inbox. You have no business in her e-mail even if you were married! If she trusts you enough, she will share what is in there with you voluntarily. But trust is earned not forced. Furth... (read in full...)

A.   9 November 2007: A glass of wine or a beer daily is not bad for you and in fact is quite good for you. However, when the drinking ends up in excess it when the problem arises. When indeed someone is an excessive drinker, they need to first admit to themselv... (read in full...)

A.   7 November 2007: At this point I would not worry too much. Your period is regulated by horemonal balance. If something causes an imbalance such as illness or various stresses, it could very well cause irregularity in menses, or your period. Of course if this cont... (read in full...)

A.   7 November 2007: This sounds to me like it may be a condition known as "Delayed ejaculation" or "Retarded ejaculation". If this is indeed the problem it is usually difficult to treat although it is treatable. There could be any of several reasons for this conditio... (read in full...)

A.   6 November 2007: I don't think you have anything to worry about. It is possible to window shop without purchasing the goods so to speak. The way many women dress in many cases nowadays is to attract the attention of the opposite sex. It is simply flatteri... (read in full...)

A.   28 October 2007: Be yourself and take it as it comes. Just close your eyes and focus on the kiss itself. Don't think about anything else like what he thinks about your lipstick or the color of the skirt you are wearing. Anything but the moment of that kiss will be ... (read in full...)

A.   28 October 2007: There could be any number of reasons for her behavior. You may have to sit down with her in a relaxed situation and talk to her and ask her why she is being that way. I know of one mother/daughter relationship where neither see eye to eye and it s... (read in full...)

A.   28 October 2007: My advice is to just follow his lead. His "girl" could be little more than just a casual aquaintance. It may be that it is just too inconvenient a relationship for him so he may be looking to find someone else. I would just go on as though there... (read in full...)

Q.   I'm 22 and starting dating a girl this past summer. She had recently ended a 2 year relationship. We would see each other everyday and had an awesome time together. We both knew that she was starting grad school this semester and I would still be ...

A.   28 October 2007: In my opinion she was way too willing to break it off with you. That coupled with not wanting to be kissed or touched by anyone indicates to me that she may have someone she has connected with that she didn't wish to divulge to you. This is usua... (read in full...)

A.   13 October 2007: This guy will eventually get himself in trouble. He is using his position to take advantage of subordinates. You need to decide whether or not this is sexual harrassment. You say it was not un-wanted so it is fair to say you can't really yell sexual ... (read in full...)

A.   13 October 2007: It may just be too soon to know what is going to happen in this relationship. It would do you well just to let things happen as they will. This is a realatively delicate time in a new relationship because if a guy doesn't know what he wants he will... (read in full...)

A.   6 October 2007: The big question is, is he really done with her? It doesn't sound like it to me. If he was really done with her he would have no problem with, for all intents and purposes, turning and walking away from her. He needs to pay more attention to you a... (read in full...)
