A.   19 February 2011: It's weird only if it keeps on happening. He's supposed to be your teacher. Your not his pet, and you are certainly not his "hunny". Call him on it next time. Tell him, my name is "________". If it doesn't stop, go to the principal.... (read in full...)

A.   18 February 2011: If you don't feel guilty, than what do you care what other people think? You obviously don't care enough to consider the damage you are doing to other people, so there you have it. I can tell you that this has disaster written all over it. Not only ... (read in full...)

I work with her -- how do I move on from these feelings?

Q.   I am a 32 year old man and have been attracted to a co-worker (26 years old) for a few years now. I never acted on my feelings towards her because I knew she had a boyfriend. Within the last 6 months we have become a lot closer and I thought that ...

A.   16 February 2011: It's very hard when you are into someone with whom you work. The trick to reducing your feelings is distance and focusing on others or other activities. That becomes very difficult when you have to see someone every day. It will take a tremendous ... (read in full...)

After having led me on with the promise of a life together, he suddenly decides to bail out. Should I tell his wife about the whole sham?

Q.   Where to start. I fell in love with a married man. He told me that he was on his way out of his marriage. He gave me horror stories about his wife. 8, 9, 10 months go by and he and I are more in love than I've ever been with anyone and I'm not ...

A.   13 February 2011: Leave the wife alone. You got yourself into something you knew you should not have and now it's time for you to pay the price. The wife is paying her own price for staying with your cheating paramour. Stay away from married men. It's a losing game ... (read in full...)

How can I rake up the courage to end this relationship with this very over sensitive controlling guy?

Q.   I apologize in advance if this gets long. I have a feeling I may start to vent. I've had bad relationships in the past. I seem to keep going after the same people, though, I don't realize it until it's months in and their true selves start shi...

A.   13 February 2011: This sounds to me to be a very unhealthy relationship (again, as you have pointed out). You strike me as a rescuer; that is, you boost your self-esteem by trying to rescue people who pay you back by making your life miserable. I'm not a ... (read in full...)

A.   9 February 2011: Probably being silly. If you start freaking out, you will definitely scare her away. Clingy and whiny is not attractive. Keep in mind, she's going to school and has 2 kids. That you hear from her at all is a miracle. Chill out.... (read in full...)

A.   7 February 2011: You may be afraid to be in a real relationship, which is why you get hung up on married men. You know this guy is unavailable, yet you spend time pining away for him. What a waste of time! Start working on yourself, and try and find out why it is ... (read in full...)

A.   7 February 2011: It's very hard to do the "friend" thing if one or both parties still have romantic feelings. Time and distance can sometimes -- but not always -- take that away. It's a tall order, but it is possible. However, if you are worried about getting sucked ... (read in full...)

A.   6 February 2011: The only method I'm aware of to "disenchant" oneself of another is through a strict regimen of no contact. No calls, no emails, no txts, no anything. I'm sure you can arrange it with your friends to avoid being around when your married friend is ... (read in full...)

A.   5 February 2011: The minute he told you he was married, you should have run the other way as if your hair was on fire. Married men are nothing but asphalt on the road to ruin for a single girl. Forget this guy, or get used to a lonely and depressing life.... (read in full...)

A.   5 February 2011: The 'ol "do unto others...." applies here (as it does almost everywhere). Don't mess up your friend's love affair with his fiance. That would be the height of selfishness. And, you will come off looking like a real drag and will definitely kill any ... (read in full...)

A.   5 February 2011: I am always amazed at people who have no qualms whatsoever interfering in another person's marriage. It is so beyond the pale of what should be considered acceptable conduct in a civil society. Yet, the "me, me, me" attitude in today's modern world ... (read in full...)

A.   1 February 2011: She cheats, and you're the bad guy? I don't think so. She's doing this because apparently she's hardly ever wrong. And, when she is wrong, you're not allowed to really say anything about it. You are not wrong wanting her away from this guy. Wifey ... (read in full...)

A.   26 January 2011: There's nothing wrong with you. Lots of people get enmeshed in "special friendships" that are not reciprocal. It's a painful process. He's already told you he doesn't want a romantic relationship with you. He views you as a friend. The problem you ... (read in full...)
