What qualifies me to help people…? Well to be honest I don't really know. I consider myself to be a life long learner therefore far from knowing everything. I believe the "outsider looking in" kind of advice can sometimes be the best because it can be the most eye opening and honest response that you will find.

Where do I live…? I sometimes wish I lived in the land of LaLa but for the time being I live in the Land Down Under.

My family makes me tick. They are my motivation for most things that I do choose to do.

A.   13 March 2016: Now that his wife knows about the affair and, as you put it, he has had no consequences, I feel as though this just empowers him to continue to emotional manipulate your friend. Given the repetitive nature of things I would be advising my friend to ... (read in full...)

Did my partner overreact with this or should I have just of said nothing?

Q.   My partner hasn't got much money due to working part time hours and having to pay bills so when my birthday came up, he never got me anything which I understood due to his situation but he didn't mention to me that he wasn't going to get me ...

A.   9 March 2016: I agree with janniepeg, that casual sex is more about adventure rather than a question of morality. Other than that, I think you have some valid points of concern though. Having multiple partners is not quite the same as what you do with them and to ... (read in full...)
