A.   18 June 2011: OH no......it sounds like to me the worst possible thing has happened... you have fallen for this guy. This isn't good, if in fact the relationship you wanted with him was all supposed to be fun and games and then when it was over the two of you ... (read in full...)

What should I do about my family? They hate my guts!

Q.   I can't stop crying. I feel so helpless. I don't know what I'm supposed to do. Tonight, while my sister was once again running me down to my parents, I came in and for the first time in a long while, and said that I had pulled my weight around t...

A.   17 June 2011: Here the way I see it. First off you need to understand that you do not have not the ability to change other people, and to recognize the fact they they are lashing out at you because they can. who is going to stop them? Clearly they have their own ... (read in full...)

A.   13 June 2011: It sounds to me like maybe the two of you are not so good together. Like you keep him around because perhaps you haven't found what you consider to be anyone better...but the fact that you are always looking should tell you something. And I don't ... (read in full...)

A.   13 June 2011: This is just my opinion, and I'm sorry that you are probably not going to like it but....... you got married and made vows and commitments that weren't about staying together as long as things were going well.. It was about for better or worse, you ... (read in full...)

He's making me feel guilty when I did nothing wrong. How do I get him to listen?

Q.   This past weekend i was suppose to hang out with my boyfriend, but he had to work so instead i went to a party with a few of my girlfriends. when i got to the party, i noticed my daughter's father was there. Me and my friend had a few drinks and ...

A.   4 June 2011: OK first of all I want to tell you that trust is one of the most important things in any relationship. If one person feels they cannot trust the other, you are going to have a real problem. Why didn't you just tell him about your Daughter's Father ... (read in full...)

A.   4 June 2011: Honey you don't know how lucky you are to have someone that adores you. That is something that is priceless. It always hurts to see that an ex has moved on and might be happy, but there is a good reason the two of you broke up in the first place. ... (read in full...)

A.   2 June 2011: You know it's kind of sick but we all seem to want what we know we can't have. Why is this? We know the guy is no good for us...he doesn't treat us how we want to be treated...there is almost always some other woman in his life...but yet we are ... (read in full...)

My relationships with men are abnormal, what is wrong with me?

Q.   What the hell is wrong with me? I'm smart and pretty and I have confidence but when it comes to men i have some bad habits and I have no idea why. I crave male attention in an unhealthy way. I'm not slutty at all but I like to be noticed by ...

A.   2 June 2011: You go for the older men you say, because guys your age are immature. Guys your age (19) that are giving you the attention you want, are probably just trying to get laid and don't care if you know what their intentions are. Not to say that the ... (read in full...)

Casual Sex?...cont'd...

A.   2 June 2011: Well, I'm a little confused. It seems obvious that your boy wants more than casual sex...he even puts in print that he is looking for a serious and maybe even a long term relationship. You don't state what it is that you have sent him back in your ... (read in full...)
