*err Professor's profile:

Hey, all. I live in the southern United States, right smack in the middle of the Bible Belt. I joke that I'm in a tiny pocket of ignorance, but it's not really all that bad. I'm just too open-minded for my own good. I'm a live-and-let-live kinda guy. I like people, and I think I understand why people do what they do, even though I don't understand myself sometimes!

I majored in Psych in college, and considered becoming a therapist, though ultimately I didn't go into that field. I've always been one to help others. I'm told that I'm an attentive listener, so tons of folks come to me with their problems. I'm objective and non-judgemental.

Hopefully, I can help you.

He refuses to sleep in our bed, and doesnt come near me anymore, is he just playing me ?

Q.   I have been single for nearly four years. i met a man with two children one adult and one 17. i get along with the kids very well. Actually the 17 year old and i have bonded so much that my boyfriend makes comments such as, what they think you're ...

A.   14 September 2006: He works, but you pay all the bills and drive him to work. He won't do anything with physically, and treats you like a stranger. You're about to come into some money, and he needs it to pay off some of his debts. Yeah, I'd say he's playing you like ... (read in full...)

This guy and I have had past issues... so should I allow him in my life as more than a friend?

Q.   Ok so my best friend gave this guy my phone number and I've been talking to this guy on the phone since mid-April. I'm 17 and he's 19. He asked me out a month later after meeting me for the first time (I live a hour away from him). I said yes, but ...

A.   14 September 2006: Let's look at this logically. He asked you out, and then went AWOL for three days. When he turned up, he was drunk and needed consoling because he had just broken up with somebody else, which meant he originally asked you out while he was still in... (read in full...)

A.   14 September 2006: Maybe I'm reading this incorrectly, but I don't see how you came up with the conclusion that your husband's children don't like you when it is his brother's wife and kids who are having the second shower. If your husband's kids didn't like you, then ... (read in full...)

A.   14 September 2006: No, honey, you're not in the wrong. The guy sounds like an insensitive prat. This is probably one major reason why his marriage failed. I won't even get into all that. I would like to point out that when you accept him into your life, the four kid... (read in full...)

A.   14 September 2006: Scott, I think you should hang on a while. She hasn't even been gone long enough to really get homesick. I'm sure that she's still caught up in the adventure of being someplace new. I'm like that in Amsterdam and Rome. I love my family dearly, but ... (read in full...)

A.   14 September 2006: Jesus, Mary, and Joesph! You SHOULD be nervous, sweetheart! You're too young physically and emotionally to have sex. It's very likely that wherever you are, you are not of the age of legal consent. Your "boyfriend" could go to jail and have the... (read in full...)

A.   14 September 2006: NO! All men DO NOT want to look at virginal, prepubescent girls. it doesn't matter whether the site is legal or not. Maybe the models are legally adults. The point is that he gets on girls who look like kids. If he does that, it's not a long leap to ... (read in full...)

A.   14 September 2006: Did he put anything on your body, sweetie, like a lubricant, or was this something expelled from your body? If it came from your body, he might have penetrated your hymen, which is a mucous membrane inside your vagina, or caused some trauma to ... (read in full...)

A.   14 September 2006: I think you should respect her wishes and distance yourself from her. She's told you that she's confused and needs time to get her head together, because when she's around you, she obviously can't resist going back to what's comfortable. I'm not ... (read in full...)

A.   14 September 2006: He's 18. Of course he has a lot of growing up to do. He isn't ready to be a father yet. This why kids SHOULDN'T have kids. Being a parent is hard work. Will it always be this way. I hate to sound negative, but yes, it just might. You're too young at ... (read in full...)

Q.   Never having felt this low before, and emotionally a state. Ive finished a 6yr relationship with a guy who loves me more than the world, told me and showed me regularly, although it was a very volitile relationship and always has been, i do not like ...

A.   14 September 2006: There's no reason why you can't remain friends. There's no law that says former lovers have to be enemies or never see one another. Many people go this route, and I've never understood why. I have remained friends with most of my ex-partners. You ... (read in full...)

Q.   Is it normal that my bf has never brought me to orgasm? He can get me horny really easily, and he knows what i like and we're both perfectly comfortable with eachother but he just can't get me off whatever method he tries, even though i often ...

A.   14 September 2006: It's actually more complicated for women to reach orgasm. In fact, most experts on the subject claim that it's not really very uncommon for women to NOT climax through intercourse alone, regardless of how well the man's organ functions. Women need ... (read in full...)

A.   14 September 2006: Ummmm, sweetheart, there might not be anything going on between you and him, but there's definitely something going on between him and you! His behavior isn't really appropriate, especially the fact that he wants you to keep those late night te... (read in full...)

A.   14 September 2006: First of all, I think it's great that at least you and your wife agree that things aren't working. I totally concur that parents who don't love one another shouldn't stay married, particularly just for the sake of the kids. Kids are much more ... (read in full...)

Q.   Hi there, Im 31 years of age and in love with my best male mate. Thing is im really scared I have screwed things up with him. Nearly two weeks ago I told him I was falling in love with him, but he made no comment as to what he thought to me ...

A.   14 September 2006: Him not saying anything speaks volumes to me. I think he gave you his answer indirectly. If someone said that to me, and I reciprocated the feelings, I'd make it known. He probably thinks of you as a good friend, and this has really thrown him. ... (read in full...)

All he said when I told him I loved him was "awww Babes" nothing else!!

Q.   I told the person I've loved for two years how I felt today. I've known him longer than I've known any other man: we've always been close and flirted. Today, we both stripped and saw each other naked- the height of our flirting. It's apparent...

A.   14 September 2006: Okay, sweetie, did you tell him that you loved him, or that you were IN LOVE with him? There's a huge difference. If you two are close friends, he probably thought you meant that you love him as friend. What I can't figure out is how you two saw ... (read in full...)

A.   14 September 2006: NY Glamour, your parents thought he was great before they learned of the age difference, and now that they know, they're upset? I understand that they want to protect you, but you're legally an adult. The two of you are consenting, legal adults! ... (read in full...)

A.   14 September 2006: Michael, no...you are not too old for her. You are both legally consenting adults. As for the age difference, I don't see 8 years as that much really. If she digs you and you dig her, then you shouldn't worry. Other people might see it as wrong, but ... (read in full...)

A.   14 September 2006: First of all, I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with a guy checking on his ex-girlfriends, especially the one he was with for fifteen years. I've never understood the fact that many people break up with someone and feel that have to be ... (read in full...)

A.   14 September 2006: I don't think he was saying it to be nice. He said it because it's probably true. It breaks my heart when wonderful people have low self-esteem because of their weight. I assure you, I know plenty of guys who love plus size girls. If you're a nice ... (read in full...)
