*essica04's profile:

I am 23 and live in the U.S. in Las Vegas.

As far as education, I am a senior psychology major with an emphasis on child development, and minor credits in counseling.

As far as my personal life, I have been there and back! I was pregnant at 17, which ended in a miscarriage. I married my H.S. boy friend when I was just 18 and still in school. He was in the U.S. Army and I spent almost 3 years as a military wife. Our relationship was always abusive, and we divorced just over a year ago.

I don't know which part of all that people will count as "credentials" for giving advice, but take it as you will. I have an opinion on just about everything, and I promise all of my readers that I will try my best to offer sound, unbiased advise. But I ask you to take everything I say with a grain of salt. I won't always tell you what you want to hear, but this is an advice site, so you asked.

Most of my advice is based on relationships and basic sex-education questions. I will never speak about that which I have no experience.

A.   2 March 2009: Oh eek! He's that much older than you? I hope you aren't hiding all of this from your parents. Please do let him push you into ANYTHING that you are not the least bit comfortable with. Be SAFE!... (read in full...)

I lied to my BF and told him I'm not a virgin - should I tell him the truth?

Q.   I'm 13 and so is my boyfriend. I really truly love him but I lied to him about not being a virgin and he believes me. Should I tell him that I am or should it remain a secret ?...

A.   28 February 2009: Tell him and please, be very proud that you are still a virgin. There is nothing romantic or special about losing your virginity to the wrong guy. I was 15 when I lost mine, and it wasn't to anyone I loved or felt a special connection with. To this ... (read in full...)

14 year old boyfriend fears

Q.   So im a 14 year old girl who is having major problems. I have never had a boyfriend or someone who likes me. I have a spinal problem, meaning im a lot shorter than everyone else my age and i have a problem with my speech. (I talk out of my nose. ...

A.   28 February 2009: I think the biggest problem is what you said at the end, that you're shy. It's terrible the way society has begun to treat people who are different from what is considered 'normal', and at your age, I can imagine you feel that the most. Just be... (read in full...)

A.   28 February 2009: Give it a shot, ask him out. I am a little wary of him being someone you met online, so please remember to be safe. Let friends and family know what you are up to. I think you both have invested so much into cultivating an online relationship, that ... (read in full...)

Should I ask him what was said?

Q.   Okay, So me and my boyfriend have been dating for about two years. Somebody told him some things and won't tell me what they said.. I don't know what it could be, so I'm not that worried about it but he hasn't talked to me in three days, what should ...

A.   28 February 2009: Just try to get an open line of communication going, first. When he starts talking to you, then ask him why he has been distant lately and if you did anything to cause it. You deserve to at least know if he is upset with you or not, and it would... (read in full...)

A.   27 February 2009: My sister is 31, 3 kids, married for 7 years, but she is a total hottie! most of it is just her attitude. She isn't afraid to be smart and witty, or ditzy, or to laugh at anything and joke with her kids. She jsut stays young at heart, and that ... (read in full...)

How do you tell your partner you aren't happy with the sex?

Q.   How do you talk to a partner/lover about your unhappiness with the sexual aspect of your relationship? I have some issues with my girlfriend, and I feel like I need to talk to her about them, but the more I think about it the more I feel like an a...

A.   27 February 2009: Just be open and really gentle with her about it. It's hard to advise anything further since you didn't disclose the problem at hand.... (read in full...)

I don't want him to know how inexperienced I am!

Q.   I lied to the guy that I fancy, we had a quick snog, I wasn't very good (because I have never done it before), he stopped and asked me what was up, I just said that it had been a while and my last boyfriend wasn't very nice to me and it has made me ...

A.   27 February 2009: I think if you tell him the truth, he will actually find it very endearing and probably refreshing to know that you aren't running around the streets having your way with every Tom, Dick and Harry. You have nothing to be ashamed of. How funny th... (read in full...)

Bite the hand that cooks for you

A.   27 February 2009: I would confront him nicely about what you found. His brief case was open, you were not snooping. His reaction can also help you determine whether you are right to be suspicious. If he blames you for snooping and redirects tries to blame this on ... (read in full...)

How do I know if he'll lie and deceive me again?

Q.   My husband has been having an affair for 9 months. Twice he said he would never see her again. The third time I kick him out. He has been living with her the last 2 months, lying and deceiving me. He was calling a dating service 13 years ago for 3 ...

A.   27 February 2009: He does not sound willing to change his ways and own up to what he is truly responsible for. Trust is probably one of the most important aspects of a working relationship. If you can't trust him (and he has given you no reason to), then I think it... (read in full...)

I think I can get over him... but I can't get over what happend.

Q.   So... I'll try to make this the abridged version. When I was 15, I met a boy. We had an instant connection and fell in love. He was the love of my life. I was convinced, as most young people are, that this love was eternal. We were so happy fo...

A.   27 February 2009: I think you're having these problems because a lot of your relationship with this ex was left unresolved. You never got to see whether things would end up going well or whether you two would break up because of something else in a relationship. ... (read in full...)

I think I may have a problem and that is why I keep on lying to my parents!

Q.   I have posted questions on here before about me and my mums bad relationship, which is basically down to me lying about my older boyfriend when we first got together, then lying again a few weeks ago when I applied for my passport so that I could go ...

A.   27 February 2009: I am having problems understanding why you're lying about what seem to be fairly minor things. Are your parents very conservative? Dot they financially support you and often threaten to take away money and support? I decided on a whim I was goin... (read in full...)

Could sex be used as a way to celebrate friendship?

Q.   I have been working as an English teacher here in Poland. In about a month I am going to leave Poland and return to my home country. My issue involves two women. One woman is also an English teacher at the same language school that I teach at....

A.   27 February 2009: Unless there is an obvious sexual tension between you and either of these women, I would advise that you not push things sexually. Tossing around sex and making it so casual can have adverse emotional effects to these women if they do not understa... (read in full...)

A.   27 February 2009: This is a form of cheating called 'emotional cheating'. He may think it's no big deal because she lives to far away, so nothing physical could really happen. But the truth is, he is investing time into a relationship with another woman. If he cannot ... (read in full...)

I have been taking birth control, Can I still be pregnant if I still bleed?

Q.   In the past few months, since November, I've been sexually active. I'm on birth control and for the most part, I take it at 10 AM everyday. Sometimes it's 1 or 2 o'clock before I remember it, but I only have sex like one weekend out of the month. ...

A.   27 February 2009: Some women spot during their pregnancy. For the most part though, if you are having your normal flow (or at least what is normal for you being on the pill), then odds are you are not pregnant. You can take a home test though and double check. F... (read in full...)

A.   27 February 2009: If your relationship with her is obviously progressing towards the bedroom, then yes, I would make mention of it at some point closer to that time. If you're in the dating phase still, then I don't see why it needs to come up yet. But that's j... (read in full...)

A.   27 February 2009: Unless he can prove that the kids are being harmed and/ or that she is an unfit parent, there is very little chance he could have the children taken away. The courts generally bend over backwards to keep children with their mother, as it is usual... (read in full...)

A.   27 February 2009: It's great that you don't want to pressure her, but honestly, you would need to talk to her about what you want. I for one think you are a little on the young side for all of this, but if you are going to be sexual, please just be careful.... (read in full...)

A.   27 February 2009: I think for her, the drug use was a huge reason. I agree with Cat, that she had just gotten out of an abusive relationship, and finding out you were messing around with speed is most likely not something she even wants to begin to get mixed up ... (read in full...)

A.   27 February 2009: It is possible, but highly unlikely. Also, that is pretty soon of her to be having symptoms. Have her take a home test in a few days to ease your mind. I agree with Tisha. Your GF can go into a planned parenthood clinic and get a dosage of Plan ... (read in full...)

A.   26 February 2009: At your age I remember being in bed for 2 hours. No joke, and my guy wasn't happy about it either. All I can say is that you're doing everything right. Her hormones are a little off the chart at this age, and that is quite possibly why she is s... (read in full...)

A.   26 February 2009: If the dinner was still at their home, then yes, I would bring a small arrangement of something simple, like tulips or lilies. Since you're going out to dinner though, I don't think you have to. You are obviously a nice enough gal that I'm sure your ... (read in full...)
