Should it bother me that my boyfriend still speaks to former sexual partners?

Q.   The title question should sum it up nicely, but I guess I'll go ahead and tell a little more depth. While I'm still a virgin, my boyfriend is about a year younger than me, and has had three sexual partners. It doesn't bother me that he's not a ...

A.   4 October 2008: Sounds like these women are his "back up plan" for when things are not going well between the two of you, or he's feeling horny. Men only remain "close" friends with an ex for the sex. In my opinion, there is no place for an ex in the present ... (read in full...)

A.   4 October 2008: It's called SMEGMA (that's the abbreviated version for the very lengthy complicated name physician's actually give it) The bottom line is this; it's harmless and it just means you need to clean inside the folds of your clit more thoroughly. Try ... (read in full...)

Q.   Hi, I have a problem wich is kinda acward... My GF´S... Private part smells realy bad and when im "downstairs", shure i can make it, I made it once but its realy a anticlimax, I cant tell her or suggest she could be a little "cleaner" its just... I ...

A.   4 October 2008: Let's assume she's not suffering from an STD, which can cause a very smelly discharge in the nether region. Because if that's the problem, then she'll need an antibiotic to clear it up (and so will you). But putting that aside, some women have been ... (read in full...)

Why don't my parents love each other like they should?

Q.   Help! My family life seems to be going down the drain. My parents have never showed any affection towards each other, not setting a good example for me or my little brother, both of us starting to date. They argue a lot, 16 years of it. My dad has a ...

A.   11 February 2008: Ask them. Maybe it'll help them see themselves the way you see them. You should schedule a family night meeting and tell him how their behavior is affecting you and your brother and ask them to tell you why they treat each other so bad? Maybe ... (read in full...)

How can he say he loves me when he behaves like this?

Q.   My husband has damaged our relationship, we have been married for 30 years, recently I discovered he had been watching porn and masturbating to it, he said he would stop and that it was probably due to boredom having been together for so long. Then ...

A.   24 January 2008: You are in a no-win situation because he refuses to get help for his addiction, instead acting like it's your problem. You could fight fire-with-fire. If it were me, I'd start spending alot more time looking at other men, and be open about your ... (read in full...)

How do I handle competition?

Q.   I love someone. He loves someone else. She's beautiful. And I've just found out that she has an an amazing voice too. How am i meant to take his attention away from her? She's just using him. I don't want to see him hurt, not again....

A.   23 January 2008: Just wait and be patient. If she's just using him, as you say, then she will grow tired of him and move on to someone else who will bask in her glory. When she does, you'll be there to "pick up the pieces" and perhaps he'll start to see you as ... (read in full...)

Q.   Im almost 30yr old. And Im terrified of driving. So therefore I still haven't obtained my drivers license. Now is this a huge deal breaker for men ??? I don't lie about it but at the same time Im a little ashamed at times so I don't bring it up ti...

A.   23 January 2008: If you signed up for driving classes you'd probably realize it's not so bad afterall. In fact, you may actually like the freedom and independence that comes with being able to go where you want, when you want etc. I think it's time for you to take ... (read in full...)

Q.   I have been dating a guy for 3 years...my kids love him, my parents love him but really I am not attracted to him...someone from my past has come back into my life and has swept me off my feet....I had doubts about my feelings for my boyfriend ...

A.   8 November 2007: I once married a guy that I wasn't all that attracted to, but I was only 19 years old. If you don't think you are attracted to your b/f why did you start going out with him to begin with? And why have you managed to last 3 years if there was no ... (read in full...)

A.   18 October 2007: Her texting him maybe once every couple of months, to see how him and his son are doing might be okay. But every day? That's extreme. That's obsessive. That's what I'd call, a man who is not over his ex. Since she cheated on him, she left him ... (read in full...)

Q.   Hi there i'm 17 year old male looking for a raltionship... the problem is as i'm only 17 i can't go to bars to meet women. I'm a really shy guy so i was wondering if anyone could recommend any places i can meet girls? also i have a full time job wo...

A.   17 October 2007: At your age you should be able to meet women who work at the same place you do. Or attend the same university you do. If you don't go to college, you might want to consider it -- it will help you achieve a better job down the road, plus it's a ... (read in full...)

Q.   I am unhappily married and i think it is too late. i recently started an affair with a man from my past who is also married. he blows hot and cold. i think we are soul mates and believe i am falling in love. i would be quite happy to stay in my ...

A.   17 October 2007: Affairs never really solve anything, they just make bigger messes of people's lives and families and leave you with tremendous guilt. Considering what you've already been through with your husband, it sounds like it may be time to file for divorce ... (read in full...)

He cheated on me...What do I do?

Q.   My boyfriend cheated on me the day before we had been together for 7 months. [a couple weeks ago] He brought this girl home and kissed her then within 5 minutes was at my house kissing me again. He did not tell me. His 13 year old sister just told...

A.   17 October 2007: You should cut him loose. Men seldom can be faithful at 30 years old, much less at his age. He's too young and immature to devote himself to just one gal. There will be time for that later in your life. It's time to move on.... (read in full...)

Why does my daughter accept his behaviour?

Q.   I have a 17 year old daughter who has an very controlling, jealous boyfriend. He left for college and is still controlling her. He tells her where she can work, go, who she can hang out with and even what she can/can't wear sometimes. No one in ...

A.   17 October 2007: Instead of telling her how you feel about her b/f why not take her out to lunch sometime and talk to her woman to woman and simply ask her how she feels about her b/f? How does she feel when he gets jealous, or tells her what to do? Ask her if ... (read in full...)

Shouldn't he be the one getting therapy, since he caused the marital problems? Who is in a denial here? Does therapy work? He said it'd be better if I didn't dig back to our issues...

Q.   Am I losing my mind. I am so unhappy in my relationship that the only way to keep peace and not to bring up stuff from the past that affects our immediate future is to talk to people with more marital problems than i have and help them solve theirs. ...

A.   17 October 2007: I think you both need couples counseling to understand what's going on in your sex life. It's highly unusualy for a healthy man in this 30's or 40's to only want sex once a month, unless he's depressed, having an affair, or taking some kind of ... (read in full...)

Q.   my girlfriend thinks i'm cheating because she wants me to stop another female friend of mine from calling but i said no. How do i convince her i'm not cheating? ...

A.   17 October 2007: Why are you so set on letting another woman come between what you and your g/f have together? And what makes you so sure your so-called female friend isn't trying to cause interference by calling you when she knows you're in a committed ... (read in full...)

A.   17 October 2007: You and your b/f are really both too young to expect that your relationship is going to be permanent or serious. Yes, I think he is using you for sex. Do yourself a favor, and cut him loose. And wait until you're much older before you allow ... (read in full...)

Q.   i found out i was pregnant about a week ago. i started spotting very lightly yesterday. could this mean im having a miscarriage? i have not had any alcoholic beverages since i have found out but i have had a couple cigarettes (i know, im horrible! ...

A.   17 October 2007: Go see your physician. Some spotting is normal during pregnancy, especially at the beginning because your uterus is stretching and there is some breakage of small blood vessels during the process. But if the amount of blood is heavier, it could ... (read in full...)

A.   17 October 2007: You are dealing with two problems. Number one, your friends are teasing you about sleeping with your b/f (mainly because they're hoping you'll cough up the details in some sort of juicy story) but this is no one's business but yours. So tell them ... (read in full...)

A.   17 October 2007: Nope, there's not a thing wrong with you. He's not normal and he will never find a normal, loving woman to spend his life with because he is indeed, a loser. Stay on your path, and keep avoiding him. Contact the police if he becomes threatening ... (read in full...)

A.   17 October 2007: Men are perfectly capable of telling a women they love them -- when they do. Perhaps he's just not sure yet so he doesn't want to rush into saying something until he's sure. You don't really say how long you've been together but if the ... (read in full...)

Q.   I left my husband a year ago because I knew I no longer loved him the way a wife should. We had grown apart, and I felt no physical attraction for him anymore. But I didn't rush into divorce either because my husband insisted that I wait, hoping ...

A.   17 October 2007: Here's a question I have, how do you deal with a loss of physical/sexual attraction? I've been with my husband 15 yrs. and no longer feel attracted to him. I've read books and listened to cd's about how to heal your marriage, how to fix what ails ... (read in full...)

A.   3 October 2007: No, it doesn't sound like she's playing games to me. It sounds like she had to end up working on a night you had originally planned to go out. Maybe someone called in sick and she had to pull and extra shift. She invited you to come see her that ... (read in full...)

A.   3 October 2007: Are you kidding me? Men in their 40's don't delete pictures of their exes, why would a guy who's 18-21? He's still in his prime and probably enjoys knowing he's had so many women already. Maybe you could ask him to move them to a thumb drive, or ... (read in full...)

A.   28 September 2007: I agree. It helps neither of you to feel "dependent" on the other for minor purchases, such a shoes or clothes or cosmetics. If you put ALL your money into a joint account, then one of you has to manage all the money, and the other one will start ... (read in full...)

A.   21 September 2007: My advise is, never settle for "comfortable" when you can have "exciting". If there aren't many sparks with the first girl you mentioned, but you have stronger sexual or attraction feelings for the 2nd girl, then it's the 2nd girl you should be ... (read in full...)

A.   17 September 2007: Maybe it's God's way of putting them on your mind because they are going through some trials and hardships right now and maybe you need to be the guardian angel that is praying for them to get through whatever it could be. I always think things ... (read in full...)

A.   17 September 2007: Then you probably need to tell him this before things get more physical and emotional. And maybe spend less time with him if you can. He's obviously attracted to you, and interested in having sex. If you're not feeling the same way, then you need ... (read in full...)
