Ex is making me upset, do I tell the new boyfriend?

Q.   This is a really difficult one for me. My ex who was horrible to me (read my previous question to understand) is causing me to feel upset - not because I miss him, care about him or anything like that. But because yet again, I've asked him to col...

A.   17 September 2011: I think you have a right to know what's going on, and you need to give him the chance to be honest with you. Don't let it get into a huge arguement, just talk like adults. Just because there was one time that he didn't get a movie for you or cook ... (read in full...)

Is wanting to cuddle a sign of neediness?

Q.   Well, I'm dating again after a long sabbatical, and I've found a girl I really like. However, I'm finding it hard to be affectionate. I'm worried that it may be too much to soon. After our fourth date she came over the next night to hang out. We sat ...

A.   17 June 2011: I don't think wanting a cuddle is a sign of neediness at all. Personally, i love a guy who will sit and cuddle me to death, i'd rather spend the whole night cuddling than go see a film or go out for dinner. In alot of ways, it is a manly instinct... (read in full...)
