How will my husband ever forgive me for being unfaithful?

Q.   Hi aunts and uncles. I have been married for four years and have two children with my husband. I absoloutly adore him. However, at a hen party two years ago, in a moment of madness, i kissed another man. It wasnt a proper kiss, as there were no ...

A.   1 June 2015: I think your husband either did not forgive you or he does not know the definition of forgiveness. To forgive means never to bring it back and blast you during arguments. So one thing you should clear up is which is it: fake forgiveness or clueless ... (read in full...)

A.   1 June 2015: Divorce is not the first line of action in a bad marriage but a last one. Some counseling should be done by you two in order to bridge the gap of perception of happiness in this marriage. Go the counsellor yourself if she doesn't want to, then ... (read in full...)

Two years and I'm still not over him?

Q.   My life is just miserable. My ex dumped me about 2 years ago. I'm moving on very very slowly. I blocked his Facebook page, deleted all the pictures, put away everything that would remind me of him. I even moved abroad and focused on myself only. ...

A.   31 May 2015: Why don't you reply to him and hear what he has to offer. For all you know, he is hurting as much as you are, irrespective that he maybe with some woman. In fact, that woman could make him realize what he has lost with you. Don't pour your heart to ... (read in full...)

A.   31 May 2015: Of course it is very wrong! If you want to keep your man then you want to keep sex with him only. Having sex with others will definitively not keep him, nor will you likely stay with him with all that mental memorabilia about sex with others even if ... (read in full...)

Do men want kids as much as women? Can men have a strong desire for children?

Q.   Is a man's desire to have kids as strong as a woman' s? Obviously this requires a bit of generalisation - there are plenty of women that don't want kids, and plenty of men that do - but are men generally a bit more ambivalent towards kids?...

A.   31 May 2015: Statistics are great at generalizing things so here are some for UK: http://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2013/jun/13/single-fathers-uk-statistics These numbers tell us that 13.5% of single households are headed by the father which means... (read in full...)

A.   30 May 2015: The fact that you are even questioning whether you should plunge further with a Muslim answers your own question. If what you facing is pristine and you had no anticipatory negatives, you would not be asking whether what you are about to do is any ... (read in full...)

I feel vulnerable, does that make me selfish?

Q.   OK, I've been in a relationship for 6 months with my other half. I know it's not long but I do really care about him. Everything seems OK when we are together but I'm beginning to have cold feet. He is so blunt in his messages to me ( which he...

A.   29 May 2015: He could very well be sincere that his intent was not to sleep with those women whom he flirts with and frankly, drunk men are often too intoxicated to maintain an erection, and he knows it, so even if she offered him sex on the spot he would likely ... (read in full...)

I have a crush on her, but is she just being nice?

Q.   Hello, So I am a lady who dates ladies. I have this amazingly gorgeous co-worker who isn't on my team but in my department and sits around the hallway from me. I honestly have no idea if she's straight/gay/bi, in a relationship, etc. She doesn't...

A.   29 May 2015: One rule that people should highly consider adopting is never to date anyone with whom they work because, as divorce and other statistics show, such stuff turns into very nasty situations that can threaten careers. I work for a very large ... (read in full...)

Q.   I married my high school gf just over a year ago. Shortly after we got engaged I started working a new job and met this girl named Sarah, she's funny, sweet and we just had tons of fun working together. We started hanging out with each other ...

A.   28 May 2015: Yes, this is emotional affair because you are investing yourself in romantic ways with a woman who isn't your wife. The problem here is that you are investing yourself into someone who can actually wreck your marriage instead of investing yourself ... (read in full...)

I just want my own identity. What needs to change in our marriage?

Q.   My husband and I have been having so many problems lately. Financially, sexually, and emotionally and I really don't know what to do. We've have 3 kids and I'm a stay at home mom. Whenever I'm upset, I like to vent to him so I don't explode ...

A.   28 May 2015: What you described is so very typical of how financial problems strap and choke an otherwise perfect marriage: the guy is focused on surviving financially and construes everything towards that purpose but the woman is unable to keep that regimen ... (read in full...)

Am I no longer in love with my husband?

Q.   Hi I am married but still in love with a married man. I left the company since a year. We fell in love and we have not really spoken about it but we realised it quite late, few weeks before I left. I am married but do not know what to do...

A.   28 May 2015: No woman should ever, ever! believe anything that a married man is telling her, unless she is his wife. Same with the guy who confessed his "feelings" to you. You maybe infatuated, or like others are saying, compensating for what's missing i... (read in full...)

A.   27 May 2015: If he has his principals, assuming here it's a virgin girl who he will undo, then just let him go so he can look for a woman that satisfies those principals. There is no way to undo your past therefore there is no way for you to ever be able to meet ... (read in full...)

Q.   Been sleeping with ex for almost 2 years. He's married. I said to him "when you get divorced we can spend more time together". He said, "you'll find someone" I said so will you, since he's been saying he's getting divorced. He responded, "I have ...

A.   26 May 2015: Walk away. There is nothing there for you. You should not have had anything to do with a married man but it is never too late to rectify that. Do not fall for his sweet word, if he sends them to persuade to keep you. He may use sweet to convince you ... (read in full...)

Q.   Ive been married to my wife 15 years. When I first met her, i remember her telling me of a former sex partner who was big in penis size. When i brought that fact up recently, she denies anything was ever big. She says she dont remember even ...

A.   25 May 2015: If she is not cheating with any of those penises that you are referring to then it really does not matter. The fact that she is happy with you penis should rejoice you because, after being afforded various penises to her enjoyment, she picked yours. ... (read in full...)

Telling him how much I love him isn't working, so what's the best way to get him back?

Q.   Two months ago I broke up with my boyfriend of 3.5 years after an argument. We had been having lots of arguments and it wasn't our first time breaking up. Now, 2 months later, I feel like I made the biggest mistake of my life and I desperately want ...

A.   24 May 2015: Idk if this is the case with your guy but he maybe missing you as well but thinks that denying to be with you is his payback for whatever you contributed to the breakup. In other words, he may want to get back but feels that your begging is ... (read in full...)

Q.   Hi Just wondered how people that have swung return to normal monogamous sex with their partners? I'm a gangbang host and just worry sex will bore me after if I ever return to normal sex....

A.   24 May 2015: Answer to this depends on who you ask and which gender. I know 2 women and 3 men who were former swingers, not with each other, so I'll share what they have said. One of the women says that she does not regret sex, that it was fun but she alwa... (read in full...)

Feel betrayed, hurt, and extremely upset about her lies on her friendship/relationship with T. What should I do?

Q.   My wife and I have been married for a little over two years, and have been together for nearly 6 years. About 7 months after we started dating I met her friend, (a guy called T), who she said was her best friend. At first I was a little put off,...

A.   24 May 2015: I doubt that she slept with that guy only once but infidelity does not require many repeats of adulter but one. So if you are wondering what would do then I would divorce her. Then again, I am not in your shoes nor do I know the strength of your ... (read in full...)

She says she don't remember her ex boyfriends sizes. Could it be?

Q.   I am with a girl for about 5 yrs. I like her very much and our sexual life was very beautiful, until 3 months before, when disaster came. Here is what happened: I had never asked her anything about her past, I knew only what she had told me herself ...

Is it possible to love someone and NEVER be jealous?

Q.   Is it possible to care deeply for or even love someone and NEVER be jealous? I have always thought that being jealous meant being afraid to lose someone. That is because you love or care for them so much. And it is a feeling which overcomes us, wh...

A.   20 May 2015: Jealousy has no place in a loving relationship. Jealousy is a negative emotion and as such should not be inside love. If it is then the love is only alleged, by one in the couple or both. Therefore, if there is jealousy there is only tainted "love" ... (read in full...)

If your boyfriend's sex drive is suddenly higher lately, does that mean he is cheating? How can I determine this?

Q.   I am in a tricky situation.. I've been with my Boyf for 4 years I'm 20 years old and recently got my dream job.. My manager is 25 and married. So recently I put in for another job within the Same organisation, however I was told my manager picked ...

A.   20 May 2015: You are in a pickle. You know that no married men cheat on their wives because their marriage is bad; they cheat because they don't care about any women, you included. Your woes are compounded now because the cheater is your boss. You boss basically ... (read in full...)

A.   19 May 2015: I don't think that there is any round about way in telling him that he needs to bath more and even change his diet because what person eats often is the cause of body smell. Since you are determined to fix the smell issue, and there is no poli... (read in full...)

A.   19 May 2015: From my experience, people who abuse alcohol for whatever reason never do anything to quit until something traumatic happens to them. In marriages, that usually means the spouse is leaving. But when you are single, like her, it is hard to imagine ... (read in full...)

A.   19 May 2015: That's called euphoria, a mixture of infatuation, gratification, eroticism and desire. So it is normal, at least with my experience with my wife. It isn't a constant feeling but thought of her arouses it or the way you think about her. You should ... (read in full...)

Why is my cheating ex angry that I have moved on?

A.   12 May 2015: You should walk away from both of them. Besides what you say not be between brothers, this is just too much unhealthy drama and given your young age, none of which will have any happy ending for you. It isn't good to be passed on from one to another ... (read in full...)

Are people today really so damaged by the porn culture that they can't even see the difference?
