Q.   I'm losing faith in humanity in general and myself in particular here. A little more than five weeks ago, my fiancée dumped me. I'm 25, she's 21, and we had been together for over 3 years, engaged for over one year. We were making good progress pl...

A.   29 October 2009: I met one of my best friends online. We tried dating, but it didn't work out. He and his wife are joining me and my boyfriend and a few other friends at my boyfriend's LakeHouse this November for my birthday. The right connection for you will... (read in full...)

Do you think a man who lies about watching porn will lie about other things?

Q.   Do you think the man who lie about watching porn can lie about other things? I have never thought that my husband lie until I married him. We were in different country before we got married, I knew he was watching porn because he had no women ba...

A.   2 October 2009: This clarification softens my opinion a bit. It is possible that he has a porn addiction, but it isn’t something I know a whole lot about. Speak to a family doctor, go on the birth control pill and ask about porn addictions; get a referral to find ... (read in full...)

My boyfriend doesn't acknowledge my hurt feelings!

A.   2 October 2009: Thanks for clarifying, anonymous. It helps when trying to develop an informed opinion. :-) I am only going to tell you how I would handle it.... you can take that information, pick it apart and take what is useful and abandon what is not to y... (read in full...)

Q.   its been like 1 year for my marriage and now for few months i have come to my moms house for some work and i talk to my husband daily over phone and we chat online also but sometime he lies to me. Like, if i ask him what are you doing now he says ...

A.   1 October 2009: Wow. When he answers that he is doing nothing, it means "nothing worth discussing." You sound suspicious. Like you're LOOKING for something to be upset about. A better question would be: Why do you need him to disclose every mind-numbi... (read in full...)

A.   1 October 2009: People sometimes lie. That doesn't mean they will lie about everything. He is lying because he may feel ashamed or that you will not understand him, and clearly he would be right. Someone may say, "You look great!" if they haven't seen you in a... (read in full...)

Q.   ok so the problem is my penis is a bit bigger than average and my girlfriend is fairly tight and we had sex for the first time a couple of weeks ago and when i tryed to put it in her she said it was stretching her which i figured was normal but ...

A.   1 October 2009: How experienced was she before you? Women are built to stretch (child birth). I'm not a doctor, but presuming she is just like every other woman on the planet, if you spend time on foreplay and take it slow, she should eventually be able to ... (read in full...)

Younger men, can you tell me if he is telling the truth, or is he trying to control an older woman?

Q.   Well here is my drama I am in a strictly sexual relationship with a man 14 years younger than I am and he has told both while drinking and sober that he wants to take our relationship further. He has told me that he wants to take things slower as ...

A.   1 October 2009: Six months and he loves you? Hmmmm... (no comment). Essentially, he is saying he wants to get to know you better because he is ultimately looking to settle down and he sees potential in you. He didn't ask you to marry him. Is that right? ... (read in full...)

A.   1 October 2009: Question: What do i do? Answer: Stop letting him play you. Have some discipline and self-respect. Next time he tries, remind yourself he is the type of guy who keeps leaving you hurt. Is that the kind of boy you want to be involved with, even i... (read in full...)

A.   1 October 2009: It's unfortunate that he can't at least say, "I'm sorry you got hurt," but he may not wish to say that because he thinks you are over-reacting. Frankly you could be. He was about to leave on a plane trip to go across country. Is it not possible... (read in full...)

Q.   Hi, I'm 20 years old and my boyfriend 21. Its been 1 year and a half we are together but more and more we experience problems and more often we fight. Even if i know it might be early i always keep thinking of the future and imagining my life wit...

A.   1 October 2009: I certainly expect my boyfriends to take me out every now and then, but I would not put my relationship on the line for frivolous trips, etc... and I am not a student. I date full-timed employed men. You sound as though you are often asking a... (read in full...)

Q.   Hi! My ex is also my best friend. We only dated for 4.5 months, we've been broken up for 4 months. He continues to be my best friend. I love this guy (as best as my teenage brain can comprehend that, hahaha) in a romantic way, yes, as far as I kno...

A.   1 October 2009: Odd that you're asked if you have had sex. I don't see how that would make a difference here. :S You have a couple of options. The first is to continue what you're doing. But that isn't working for you as you know, or you won't be here. ... (read in full...)

Q.   My boyfriend and I have been through ups and downs. We just started semi-living together. We stay together 3-4 times a week. He lost his job a few months ago and is just getting by with the unemployment that he receives. In some ways, he is very ...

A.   1 October 2009: It's possible that with time he will "grow up" and be more mature with his money-habits, but I would never recommend that you "bank" on that (pun intended). Put your foot down about your car and let him pout. Ignore it. It's childish. If h... (read in full...)

My husband always finds reasons for me not to visit my family, how can I make him see that I want a relationship with my family?

Q.   Everytime I have the opportunity to spend time with my brother, sister, dad who all live out-of-state, my husband seems to find a reason why I should not visit or take part in the event. His main argument is that they don't plan well and don't give ...

A.   1 October 2009: If it were me, I wouldn't waste breath trying to explain it. I am sure he is aware of it. I doubt he has a problem with you spending time with your family. At least based on what you’ve written, it sounds like HE doesn’t want to spend time wit... (read in full...)

A.   1 October 2009: If you are under 18, and he is that much older then run, but assuming you are actually 18 or older, he is not a pedophile. Still, depending on how many "a few years" actually is, it may be a wonderful fantasy to him to be with one as young as you. ... (read in full...)

A.   1 October 2009: No one will know why he hugged you. It may have been just an innocent and friendly gesture, without any meaning behind it. Don't read anything into it. Just take things at face value and put it out of your mind. If he likes you he will let you ... (read in full...)

A.   30 September 2009: If you cheated on your first love with a second who is now out of the picture, you can beg your first love to take you back, but no guarantees. I'd be inclined to think the sex was not so "accidental" since it was followed by a relation... (read in full...)
