Hi! My name is Devin, but my friends call me DV1. I currently live in Pennsylvania, USA. I'm currently in a serious relationship, and I've found that special someone... I've been in and out of relationships for many years. I've been lied to, cheated on, and lost friendships over relationships. I've found that I've taken many lessons from my experiences, and I want to use those experiences to help others. I'm just your average, run-of-the-mill guy, who sees himself as a hopeless romantic of sorts. I'm just lucky that I've found that special someone who doesn't get involved in drama, and just wants me for me. I want to help others find someone, or stay with someone who makes them feel appreciated. If I can cause at least one person on this planet to find or hold onto happiness, then my job here is done.

Best wishes,

DV1

Q.   can anyone help me please? I have been in love with my ex-husband since I was 15 (I am now 39). We had many break-ups due to his violence and alcoholism. I am now separated from him a year and a half but he still goes through my mind every single d...

A.   24 May 2007: Yes, it is. When you're with someone that long, you expect that the person will be there always. Has he tried getting help? A year and a half is a long time to be separated. You need to stop keeping things on a thread, and decide whether or not to ... (read in full...)

Has he dumped me?

Q.   Hi all, I have been in a romantic affair with a lovely man for 9 months. He was the one doing all the running, and gave me a lot. I never gave him the pleasure of an answer as to how serious we were, and he kept asking me whether I would marry hi...

A.   24 May 2007: He wasn't calling to ask about your flu. Really. He had something else on his mind, and he kept losing the courage that he worked up to talk to you. The ball is in your court right now. I just got out of a relationship where the girl was ... (read in full...)

Q.   I've just recently caught my partner cheating and have thrown him out. He now says it was a big mistake and wants us to work it out. i have children from a previous relationship and they are refusing to be in the same space as him and dont like him ...

A.   24 May 2007: Congratulations, you made the right choice. If he cheated on you, he doesn't love you, and doesn't respect you. I think that same old: "I made a mistake" line is nothing short of bs. Getting into bed with someone is a choice. He could have chosen ... (read in full...)

A.   24 May 2007: Sometimes there's a reason why guys get distant. Instead of thinking only of yourself, ask him what's going on. When you really love someone, you have to be willing to put yourself aside and just listen. It seems like he's either not ready to commit ... (read in full...)

A.   24 May 2007: It's natural for women to want sex less than men. Men have a much higher sex drive. The question is, do you find your boyfriend sexually attractive? If he doesn't satisfy all of your needs, you should let him go, before you do a lot of damage. D... (read in full...)
