A.   19 June 2015: Glancing or even a single good look - yes, he's bound to do that, whether or not she's particularly attractive. Staring and leering is just plain rude. He should know better. That sort of thing not only does you a disservice, it makes him look a c... (read in full...)

Q.   I'm having a bit of an issue with birth control and I'm looking for some advice. I have tried so many types of birth control over the years: the injection; the implant and 4 different types of pill, and each of them have played havoc with my ...

A.   18 June 2015: Not to contradict anything already said (I agree with the preponderance of advice already given) I'd like to inject a different, but relevant perspective. I lose my erection whenever I put on a condom. It's guaranteed. If, hypothetically, a GF (ma... (read in full...)

Q.   I have met a guy around one year ago online. He says he has time for me and there is no limits for me to cross for him. whenever I text to him he will answer even when he has exams. But he said he's not good at starting a conversation,eve...

A.   18 June 2015: Truth? I think you are a source of confusion for him. I think he's not sure what to think about you. Men are just as unsure, insecure, and confused as women. We make it all up as we go along, and hope no one (especially not a girl) figures ... (read in full...)

He said he "was thinking about me while getting his lapdances,"and thinks it's not cheating. Should I give him another chance?

Q.   My bf, J (23) and I(25) are both military and have been together nearly 3 yrs, mostly long distance (we're 10 hrs apart now). At the start, we made boundaries for cheating. Since we're both jealous, we said kissing, flirting and all the various ...

A.   18 June 2015: Ah, I missed that statement. Sorry. Re-reading it, yeah - definitely dump his sorry ass. He's not worth the pain and aggravation. That kind of statement really opens up your eyes to what you can expect in the future, which would be more of the s... (read in full...)

A.   18 June 2015: We are ALL capable of both great good and great evil. It is our CHOICES that make us who we are. He CHOSE to behave in the way he did. IF he got drunk and ran over someone in his car, the excuse of "I was drunk" or "I have a bad side" would no... (read in full...)

A.   16 June 2015: Normally, I'm the guy who steps up to defend this sort of entertainment as pretty much harmless. However, Honeypie is absolutely correct. He thought he was too clever for you, and found a 'loophole' in the agreement the two of you made. If this ... (read in full...)

A.   15 June 2015: Have you asked him to marry you? Why is that his job? Why can't you propose to him? If he says no then you know right where you stand, and can come back to the states and start looking for the real relationship you are after. If he says yes, then ... (read in full...)

A.   15 June 2015: ROFL I don't think you're jealous. The pic I posted a link to was just supposed to be a laugh. Nothing more. And yet you fail to even begin to address the remainder of my points. You aren't taking an 'ethical' point of view. You are certain... (read in full...)

A.   14 June 2015: You, sir, are behaving like an asshat. MOVE ON. Find some other girl with whom you are compatible. 90% of love isn't "finding the right one" it's "Being right for the one you're with". That's not to say attraction, common interests, belief... (read in full...)

A.   14 June 2015: Honeypie is exactly correct that violence only begets more violence. Being female does not give you license to hit him. I'm of mixed opinions about slapping you back. On the one hand, I tend to be a pretty non violent person. On the other hand, th... (read in full...)

A.   12 June 2015: By giving the ring back. Seriously. If he's too withdrawn and unresponsive to engage with your emotional well being now, that's not going to improve when you exchange vows. If he told you you're being stupid because you feel ignored, and the... (read in full...)

A.   12 June 2015: I would advise you to be cautious. While the difference of two years doesn't seem like a big deal to you, the law doesn't agree. Even if the age of consent is less than 18 in your state, most states have a statutory rape clause that boils down to ... (read in full...)
