A.   8 June 2011: I think if you are torn between two guys that neither one is the "right" one for you. I think at your age a serious relationship is more than you need. This is a time to be young, free, and learn who you are and enjoy yourself. as far as the guy ... (read in full...)

Is it wrong to break up with a friend because you find their way of life offensive?

Q.   It seems like to be a good friend means to be supportive. And we are all told we should not be judgemental. But what happens if a friend has habits you find offensive and which go against your value system? Are you a terrible person if you want to ...

A.   8 June 2011: First, I think you should really think about why you are friends with her. I understand wanting to have good relations with your co-workers, but you no longer work together. Are you just maintaining this friendship to be nice or is it really a ... (read in full...)

A.   2 June 2011: Here is the thing, you have the experience that she does not have. In the grand scheme of things, a summer class is not a big deal. BUT a GED v. a high school diploma can affect her down the road. This is too big a mistake to let her make and ... (read in full...)

Is there such a thing as taking a break from your husband?

A.   2 June 2011: I think if you are unhappy and feeling emotionally drained, then a break is okay. I think you should be very frank with your husband about wanting a break and what it means. Sounds like you need this time to make some decisions, and that doesnt ... (read in full...)

She has a double standard when it comes to professional touching

A.   1 June 2011: Honestly I find it quite strange that a 36 year old is looking for comfort in tough times from a 16 year old. There is a big difference in not only age but life experience, etc. I think I would back away. This situation could become very ... (read in full...)

A.   1 June 2011: Please run. Please expect better for yourself. If you can't do that then prepare yourself for a life of what you have had and probably more. He does not respect you and he walks all over you because he can. He has had the opportunity to change ... (read in full...)

A.   31 May 2011: I dont know what things are like there, but I have found that all pastors/priests are willing to help --- some of them have heard more and experienced more than a formally trained counselor. You need to work on that esteem before getting into any ... (read in full...)
