I don't know what I want, and I don't think he does either

Q.   I have just gone through a divorce after 16 years of marriage. I met this guy that is also going through a divorce. We started talking for a couple of months. We had a good relationship then we had a argument and things never went back to how they ...

A.   12 July 2011: He doesn't know what he wants, his head seems all over the place tbh! I think he probably has feelings for you, but divorcing has messed him up. He (and you) could probably do with a few months on your own, to get used to being 'unmarried' so t... (read in full...)

Alone and pregnant???

Q.   I've been seeing someone for around 2 weeks now and there is a chance i may be pregnant already, however we have used contraception each time and i am going to take a home pregnancy test tomorrow to be sure, i need to get a chance to tell him that ...

A.   12 July 2011: There is no need to stress him out yet is there? If you used contraception correctly, you are probably not pregnant anyway! Get a test, and do it! If it proves positive, then you need to tell him you need to see him IN PERSON urgently! Hopef... (read in full...)

Would it bother you if your gf called you by the same pet name she called her ex-bfs?

Q.   ok maybe some of you will think this is a stupid question but it bothers me to no end somehow. this girl i have been dating for a while now has a pet name for me. the pet name is (dont laugh please) babykins. yes i am serious. anyway, when s...

A.   12 July 2011: I wouldn't worry too much about it! It's like someone calling you hun, chick, love etc. Anyway, you are her 'babykins' right now, not the 1.5 year old ex hey?!!! He's her 'ex' for a reason after all, she is choosing to be with you know, so don... (read in full...)

My parents have cheated on each other... Is the same thing going to happen to me?

Q.   Ok folks, this is a biggie. 7 years ago my Dad went through a mid-life crisis, during which time he was very depressed. This sparked a separation with my Mum and resulted in him cheating on her. Somehow the two managed to work things out and w...

A.   12 July 2011: If I knew the answer to that, I would be a millionaire ;-) Seriously, though, you are your own person, with your own life, and even if your parents had a happy non cheating marriage, doesn't mean you would or wouldn't. Some people cheat, an... (read in full...)

Reconnected, but rekindled?

Q.   When I was in college I had a crush on a girl that I was real good friends with. I felt I wasn't good enough for her so I never pursued a relationship. As soon as we parted ways after college I lost contact with her. Now its 16 years later and I ...

A.   12 July 2011: I'm in uk, so not sure how far 4 states away are! lol. But seriously, what have you got to lose? Ask her out on a date, you are both single after all. If nothing romantic comes from it, you might just get a good friend anyway! So a win win situ... (read in full...)

Embarrassed about online dating

Q.   Recently I met a really nice guy through online dating and I'm too embarrassed to admit it to anyone. I haven't even told anyone about him. When I go out, I tell my parents (yes I still live at home at 22. Grad students don't get paid that much) ...

A.   12 July 2011: Personally, I've never used on line dating, but I don't think you should be ashamed of it! It's just an advance in technology that people who are busy, or shy or whatever reason now use it. This guy might end up being the love of your life! (S... (read in full...)

Is Oral, sex ?

Q.   Here it goes.. I was saving myself until I got married for the right man. I was making out with my boyfriend and I ended up giving him oral sex. Does that make me a non virgin anymore?...

A.   28 June 2011: Sexual intercourse normally = penetration (penis to vagina/anus) Everything else is normally classed as 'sexual contact' So yes you are a virgin. Personally, I don't understand doing 'sexual contact' but not intercourse with a partn... (read in full...)

A.   27 June 2011: The best place to get yourself to is a GUM clinic i believe. They will not judge you at all and will test you for everything free. (And will not tell your GP if you don't want them too, so it will not be on your regular medical records) I heard... (read in full...)

A.   22 June 2011: Three kids under 6, I bet that is hard work and tiring too! Have you got any family/friends that could have the kids for the night? Or babysit for you, so you can go out on a date together just the two of you? I have friends similar ages to ... (read in full...)

A.   22 June 2011: That's the trouble if you have an affair, you can't really talk to anyone about how you are feeling when it ends (and it always does come to an end). I don't think you can remain friends with him, especially as his wife now knows? If he decides t... (read in full...)

A.   21 June 2011: Just out of interest, where were you making plans to meet? At another nightclub? (Just 'cause you said he wasn't into night clubs). I'm not convinced anyone is that shy to be honest. Perhaps it is the distance? Or maybe an ex or something has... (read in full...)

A.   20 June 2011: He is going to be annoyed if you say you logged into his account! Can you say he left it open one time and you read it by accident or something? I think you will just explode if you don't say something! He might re-think this emailing if he knows ... (read in full...)

My partner has had a lot of lovers- why does this bother me so much?

Q.   Hi Ive been with my partner quite a while now, and things are great. However at some point we talked about past partners. I was surprised to find that at 43 she has had 28 previous partners, 5 of them "one nighters" (although she had hope...

A.   31 May 2011: I don't think you're strange, but I think perhaps she has confused sex with feelings (you said 5 of them were one nighters though she hoped something would come from them). Some women have sex, confusing it with love, or that it will lead to love... (read in full...)
