Q.   i am beginning to hate my best friend and i don't know what to do so basically... we have been friends for the past 3 years, since the start of high school and now i'm beginning to find her more and more annoying she is REALLY moody, and it's ...

A.   22 December 2014: I understand you still wanting to have her in your life, as part of your group. But, as I see it your friend seems really narcissistic, and friends like that can be toxic and damage your own self esteem, at the very least. If she's racist aga... (read in full...)

Unhappily married and strongly attracted to another woman

Q.   Hi last week I went out for a Christmas meal and drinks with colleagues and it ended up with just me and a girl. We both work remotely from the office and see each other on the odd occasion but live near each other. Anyway we ended up have a couple...

A.   16 December 2014: Firstly, DO NOT pursue this woman. She has made it perfectly clear that she does not want an affair with you, and if you push things it is only going to make things worse--especially in regards to work. Sexual harassment lawsuits start that way. ... (read in full...)

Is it normal to be sexually attracted to your cousin?

Q.   I've been attracted to my cousin for as long as I can remember. She is the only female cousin I know of, and on my mother's side of the family, she is the only girl. At least in my generation. I didn't think nothing of it when I was younger because ...

A.   4 December 2014: I do not consider this normal at all. It's one thing to say how pretty she is, and love her as family...but you used the word "lust." that is not normal for a blood relative. I'm going to give you the same advice I'd given to someone in a sim... (read in full...)

Why do women cheat?

Q.   I don't mean to sound sexist or come off as judgemental I'm just really curious as to why married women cheat? I mean I can understand why men cheat, they produce sperm like every freakin day of their life so of course they're gonna wanna let ...

A.   21 November 2014: I think the reasons men and women cheat are way more than just biological. I think you can break cheaters into 3 categories: 1) some people are just compulsive cheaters by nature, 2) some are opportunists who think they will do "just once, but ... (read in full...)

I'm in love with my married lover

Q.   I've been in a relationship with an older married man for a year. In the last year, my feelings have grown for him, and I am in love. I know it's selfish, but I want more of his time to be spent with me. He insists that it will get better, but I'm ...

A.   10 November 2014: I agree with Honeypie...you are FAR too young to tie yourself down to someone who just gives you bits and pieces of his time. He's using you! That's all it is! You need to be strong, to realize what's going on, and to end this "affair.... (read in full...)

I lied about a past relationship and he'll end it if he finds out

Q.   So.. My boyfriend and I are great together. We get along, and are very much attached. One problem.. He asked me if I've ever been intimate with a black man. I lied and said no. (we are both white). I ask him what's the difference even if I had? He ...

A.   9 November 2014: Sounds like there is some racism on his part. If there is, it's not going to involve this one issue... It'll affect your life if you have friends that are black (or any other race for that matter), family members that are biracial, even neighbor... (read in full...)

A.   9 November 2014: It's hard to say if he's cheating on you...or still in some way "with" her and cheating on her with you. Regardless, dump this loser! You deserve someone who loves YOU and ONLY YOU! ... (read in full...)

Q.   I've been with my bf over a month now met over the internet. i'm 24 , hes 25. Everything is going, treats me like a queen. We've been on two weekends away (already i know) and met up in between. Thing is he normally msgs me every morning, ...

A.   9 November 2014: I don't necessarily thing it means cheating, but it could mean there is an altogether different issue. It could be a simple communication issue between the two of you. He wants you to initiate communication...that's why he's pulling back. T... (read in full...)

My gut is telling me he's not faithful!

Q.   Lately, I've been rather doubtful of my fiancé's loyalty. I caught him liking other girls photo on facebook. And suddenly I get all jealous. He wasn't normally like this. For weeks My gut has been telling me that he's not faithful. He gets all ...

A.   8 November 2014: Always trust your gut... Being that you've been through this before (with the other 3 guys) your awareness is probably heightened. You're probably in tune to the behavior and "tell tale signs." His projecting his anger onto you for questioning ... (read in full...)

I want to get married at Disney World but he doesn't

Q.   I got engaged a few month ago and need some help. Since I was 10 I said I was going to get married at Disneyworld and I've never changed my mind. My fiance wants a big wedding here. I don't!! All we do I argue over it because I want to go to ...

A.   3 November 2014: In light of this new information, I think maybe you should question whether this man is the right guy for you. It seems like he is being a control freak, especially if he will not even opt to go to Disney World with you for your honeymoo... (read in full...)

A.   2 November 2014: Have you considered a Mock Wedding? You could have your dream wedding at Disney World, and then come home and have another wedding, reciting your vows again in front of your family and friends. I agree with jls022 that it's all about compromi... (read in full...)

Q.   Ok so I've been dating my girlfriend Karen for two years, I'm 24 and she is 23. But about a month ago, I did the worst possible thing I could've done, I cheated on her with her best-friend Eva (not they real names). I knew that Eva had a thing for ...

A.   2 November 2014: Personally, I don't think you're mature enough to handle a real commitment at this point. I don't mean it in a harsh way--I mean that you are really young and may be more into the idea of dating different girls than having a serious relationship. ... (read in full...)

Q.   Omg, i am terrible when it comes to eye contact! I am 15 now but ever since i started secondary school (11yo) i've had trouble keeping eye contact, especially with teachers. I used to NEVER make eye contact, look down etc. except when i spoke to ...

A.   27 October 2014: I can totally understand, and relate. I am a shy person too, and have trouble making eye contact due to a medical condition. An old theater professor once told me to look at a person's forehead if it's too hard to make eye contact. And, I... (read in full...)

Q.   I know what I did is bad, but I think what I found is worse... I snooped on my boyfriend's facebook account and found him talking to an ex flame which he told me they're just friends now... I would like a stranger's opinion on whether these...

A.   6 October 2014: I'm sorry, but it does look like he's not only cheating but making serious attempts to get back with his ex behind your back. I would either confront him, and let him know that you know what's going on and let him explain things. Have a seriou... (read in full...)

Sex with Guy at work. Do I try to dodge her questions or tell her the truth, and lose her as a friend?

Q.   So a few weeks ago I had sex with a guy that I work with, it was just a one time thing as we are just friends and I was leaving the job and we both wanted to have sex with each other. However now I feel really guilty as one of my close friends real...

A.   29 September 2014: I hate to be blunt, but it is just my nature. It is also my nature to be brutally honest with you. You're going to hurt her feelings anyway, and you are probably going to lose her as a friend as a result. That being said, just be honest w... (read in full...)

Q.   I've been with my boyfriend for almost 5 months now and things started out beautiful but that something beautiful is dying now. We met through an social network dating site and when we first decided to meet up, I was reluctant and scared, but I went ...

A.   24 September 2014: Sorry, honey he is playing you. Your jealousy and insecurity is NOT the problem, HE is. I recommend you just end it with him permanently. You really need to end it and rule him out as a "bad seed". You love who you thought he was--now you ... (read in full...)

She has caused trouble for us and my friend and I cannot stand her. How can we drop her from our lives?

Q.   My friends and I have this issue that we really can't talk to an adult in our lives about without getting into trouble and we don't know how to solve the problem either. There's this girl who hangs around us who we really just don't like and w...

A.   20 September 2014: Did you ever think that YOU are part of the problem? Look, playing the "Mean Girlz" routine is NEVER the answer. I understand your concern about her lying...and being a pest...And, getting you all into trouble... BUT, did you ever think of te... (read in full...)

What does it mean if she never initiates contact?

Q.   Hey everyone I need some advice as to what's going on. I've recently started hanging out with an old friend about 2 months ago and I recently asked her out on a date about 2 weeks ago. I let her know I was interested . She said yes and I belive the ...

A.   20 September 2014: Some girls are "taught" (for lack of a better word) that the guy should initiate contact. That we'd be seen as "chasing" a guy if we text or call first... That could be what she's thinking. So I wouldn't feel too bad that you're the one init... (read in full...)

16 years of marriage and I've lost the spark for my wife. How can I get it back?

Q.   We have been married for 16 years, four kids, financially stable...I have never cheated. I don't think she has ever cheated. This has been building for some time now: when I look at her, there is just no sexual spark. It's gotten to the point where ...

A.   19 September 2014: That spark can return, but it may take time. I recommend doing things which help you focus on each other--IE, focusing on each other in a romantic sense rather than a routine hubby/wife sense. Try to go on dates once a week--REAL dates, l... (read in full...)

A.   19 September 2014: I think your ex is insecure and trying to engage in one-upmanship against you because of your newfound happiness. I think it's best to just ignore him as best that you can, and tell his mistress (or whatever) to cease and desist from contacti... (read in full...)

A.   19 September 2014: I would definitely nix the first guy, as he's already showing signs of dishonesty by saying that he hates texting...then texts away while you are not looking. NOT a good sign. The second guy I would take it slow with...and get to know him bett... (read in full...)

A.   10 December 2013: I agree with what the others have said. If he's not cheating on you already, then he's planning on it...with her. He's being untrustworthy, and disrespectful. It's really ignorant of him to block YOU, his wife, ON FB! If anything, he sho... (read in full...)

A.   21 November 2013: Just focus on "NOW" and the fact that he is with you now, and loves you. It's unhealthy to dwell on the past, and who he was with during your break. I'm with everyone else that says that girl was just a rebound. Obviously, he's with you no... (read in full...)

A.   21 November 2013: I don't think happiness has anything to do with why he's on those sites--I think he's just a typical cheater. He would cheat on anyone he's with. The fact that he gets mad at you for "prying" and accuses you of being a cheater are the signs th... (read in full...)
