Selfish in-laws and husband's a pushover with them. How can I speak to him about this?
Q. Thank you fir reading in advance. Sorry I know it is long. Me and my partner have been together for 4 years and have 2 children together, the youngest of which is 6 weeks. My partners family have not seen our youngest yet as they all live in...
A. 18 February 2014: You are not at all to blame for wanting to avoid traveling with a 6-week-old baby when money is tight. Explain to your MIL that you'd love for her to see the baby but can't afford to make the trip this minute. If she has an interest in seeing her ... (read in full...)
My boyfriend is acting sneaky with his laptop and phone!

Was it wrong to accept an expensive gift from my male gay best friend? I think it's made my boyfriend jealous or uncomfortable.
Q. My gay male best friend whom I have known for a year recently took me out for my birthday. He took me to a restaurant that neither my boyfriend and I can afford, and also gifted me a Burberry scarf ($400 value). I had already known which ...
A. 17 February 2014: Not wrong. In my opinion it would have been very rude to refuse a gift that was carefully chosen for you and given with no strings attached.
Your boyfriend's reaction probably isn't jealousy per se but rather him feeling uncomfortable that he ... (read in full...)

A. 17 February 2014: Agreed with Honeypie - you do not need this guy in your life.
