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.   1 November 2015: I agree with your brother. From your post it doesn't sound as though you did anything wrong. You married an out of control nasty drunk. Sorry but she needs a reality check. If she,when sober,is of the opinion that you had no right to be keeping her ... (read in full...)

A.   30 October 2015: 4:45 - 9:20 thats ALOT of heavy traffic. Two phones, whats wrong with using a work phone for work purposes and if the second one is for personal use has he given you the number and how often does he call you from that number? Did you ask him if he ... (read in full...)

My boyfriend of two years has cheated on me with his estranged wife

Q.   When I was barely 17, I fell into the trap of an older and more experienced man (Adam), thinking what we had was love. I was young and naive and was fooled by his compliments. No guy had ever taken interest in me before, so I was easily blinded by ...
