A. 22 May 2020: Someone who could lie to you about losing their own daughter and granddaughter is either evil, manipulative or has severe mental issues. Maybe all 3 as they are not mutually exclusive. Dude, stay well away. You cannot fix this. ... (read in full...)
Where did I mess up with the LDR who faded on me?
Q. This girl and I first met a couple of years ago, casually hanged out a couple of times, then went back to our own countries on the opposite sides of the world. A few months later, we briefly met one more time when I travelled to her country; we had ...
A. 21 May 2020: I suspect the something else that happened in her life was a "someone else" so she's had to sideline you. LDRs are difficult enough if you already have a steady relationship to build on but usually pointless if that is all you have. You were a ... (read in full...)

How do I deal with the incredibly annoying and somewhat creepy flatmate that I'm stuck with during lockdown?
Q. I'm currently living away from home in the UK, sharing a flat with three others. Unfortunately, due to the coronavirus lockdown two of them have gone to live with their friends nearby a couple of months ago, so it's just me and a male flatmate whom ...
A. 19 May 2020: Although it's not your problem, it might help to keep at the back of your mind that your flatmate is probably feeling lonely and isolated at the moment. Also he is probably living a fantasy "trapped" in a house with a female he sees as his "type". ... (read in full...)

A. 12 May 2020: He may be kind and you may feel you have a lot in common but he sounds irresponsible and immature. Assuming he's of a similar age to you, he should know how not to impregnate females he's not in a steady relationship with. It's not rocket science to ... (read in full...)

A. 11 May 2020: In an ideal world people would treat others in a decent manner. We don't live in a perfect world though and some people don't care how their actions affect others. Sounds like he either doesn't have the manners or maybe the balls to tell you he's no ... (read in full...)

I want to help my boyfriend deal with his past sexual abuse
Q. Hi all. I wasn't sure where else to ask this, but I am not sure what my best actions can be. While drunk, my boyfriend recently divulged some information to me about his past. Basically when he was 14 (he's 28 now), an older woman (early-mid ...
A. 8 May 2020: He says he is ok. Why do you not believe him? I understand you are angry but it is still new and raw to you. He's had years to get his head round it. This is HIS trauma, not yours. Don't get involved unless he requests it. He shared the information ... (read in full...)

A. 1 May 2020: If you can't handle seeing him, then surely that is where you start. It's time to find a new interest so you can stay away from the walking groups. Or find groups where he is not a member. ... (read in full...)
Since getting a job my boyfriend's behaviour has changed.
Q. I've been dating this guy for a year now. He's good and wonderful but one thing I don't like about him is when it comes to money. For example, during valentine's Day he couldn't even get a chocolate or even a cup of water. It wasn't that he w...
A. 1 May 2020: I do wonder why you are so worried about hurting his feelings, given he seems oblivious to yours.
It seems he was happy to put in the effort when he was trying to impress you but, now that he feels he is secure in the relationship, he doesn't ... (read in full...)

A. 28 April 2020: Two things come to mind. Firstly, you are not in a real relationship after 3 dates and a sex session. You can't reasonably demand regular contact from someone who is essentially a casual date at best. Secondly, what is stopping you (either of you) ... (read in full...)
