A.   2 April 2012: My thoughts are the same as most of the others here - best you tell your partner about what's happened. Also, you're best friend knows about it...that's one person too many, even if she is a trusted, lifelong friend. It's not going to be easy... (read in full...)

A.   28 February 2012: Yes, I remember why I came here and will always be in debt to the kind Aunts & Uncles who have helped me on my way. When I answer to a problem, I always answer it from my own experiences and instincts. Yes, I know what its like to finish with a p... (read in full...)

A.   13 February 2012: I think you should delete your ex's text message and number and move on from him. It's non of his business who you are with now and his actions only show how bitter and spiteful he is. You go on seeing your new boyfriend and enjoying your own life... (read in full...)

A.   13 February 2012: I see there being two ways you can go with this. First, forget about him completely and focus on your own life and your own future. Move on without him. The fact that he finished with you over a year ago and hasn't been in touch with you si... (read in full...)

Is he annoyed with getting with me or what?

Q.   Hello:) I've got a few questions, but first, here's a quick overview. Basically i'm almost 16 and i had my first kiss last weekend. It was at a party but the guy and i had been talking for about 3 hours, during which time i had tested him to ma...

A.   13 February 2012: To me it sounds like he's being really immature by writing things like that on his FB. Anyone reading that will see just how childish he is, so he's not doing himself any favours. It could also be, of course, that he has been teased by his frie... (read in full...)

A.   13 February 2012: I agree with Cerberus here. If he was genuinely interested he would have asked you out to go on a proper date with him. Unless of course you had already asked him to go round to your place. The fact that he got all moody about you cancelli... (read in full...)

A.   6 February 2012: I have to agree with the others on this and say not to bother about getting back at him. Someone once told me: "Don't get bitter, get better!" If you write to him he will see it as a sign that you are still emotional and haven't really m... (read in full...)

Can retroactive jealousy turn into violence?

A.   12 October 2011: Yes, I'm sure it could. If the person who is suffering with the jealousy can't control it or do something to help themselves, then they will wind up getting bitter, angry and then resent the other person. This could then lead them to dealing ... (read in full...)

A.   12 October 2011: I've found that going to somewhere you can actually sit and talk is good for a first date - go for a meal, drink, etc. If you go to somewhere like the pictures, then you will both spend most of the time sitting in silnce watching the film and... (read in full...)

Q.   I really want my girlfriend to tell me about her past sexual experiences during sex. After hearing a little bit about her previous relationships, I want to hear more. It's not that I want her to sleep with another man, just that I want her to use ...

A.   25 September 2011: I agree with the replies below - you might think you want to hear about your girlfriends sexual history during your love making, but the reality of it might be another thing. Why don't you just ask her if she would invent something for yo... (read in full...)

I applied the 'no contact' rule, but last night I caved in and texted him

Q.   Recently I wrote about the affair that I had ended I've been working really hard on keeping busy etc but last night I broke 'no contact' and text him. What should I do if he replies? Should I just ignore it and carry on with NC? I've tried d...

A.   24 September 2011: First, I'd like to say don't be too hard on yourself for breaking the 'NCR'. It really is one of the most difficult things to put in place and stick to. During a split with an ex-girlfriend some years ago, I was told about the NCR and thought it w... (read in full...)

Q.   Hi, I'm needing some help, there is a girl I like but I can't seem to be able to tell her as she doesn't like me back, but if I tell her could that make her start to like me? And obviously should I tell her?...

A.   19 September 2011: Are you sure she doesn't like you back? Have you spoken to her already? If you haven't spoken to her already, I would approach her and ask her out on a date. You've got nothing to lose. If she says 'No' then at least you will know, but she migh... (read in full...)

A.   19 September 2011: He sounds like someone who is controlling, immature and can't take 'no' for an answer. If he really did like you and wanted to help you by being there for you, he wouldn't become verbally abusive and act childish. He has shown his true colours ... (read in full...)
