A.   20 March 2006: If you're 100% sure that prank call was from his gf and know that he was there in the background, then it seems like he was playing along "nice" to get his things back. Please move on from him because he sounds like a complete t*** which you shou... (read in full...)

A.   20 March 2006: What were your thinking before your decision to spend time with your bf over your friend, before he got that call? He was feeling down so you decided to cancel your plans to stay in with him. In the same token he didn't see his mates, just lik... (read in full...)

A.   20 March 2006: I wouldn't say you're getting upset over nothing, long distant relationship is extremely hard to deal with (I'm going through one now). But you have to remember that he's propably going through a very hard time too, and perhaps can't communicate his ... (read in full...)

A.   19 March 2006: The problem is there's a running theme with him: cheating. You mentioned he cheated on you several times, and he's cheating on his fiancee who I presume he loves. It's extremely difficult to forget those incidences so are you willing to forgive ... (read in full...)

We never fight. Is that normal?

Q.   Me and my boyfriend are in love. We've been dating for over a year, but we never fight. Is that normal?...

A.   19 March 2006: Consider yourself lucky! If you've been with someone for over a year and haven't argued means you two have an incredible understanding of each other, don't feel the need to argue for the sake of it and, put it simply, compatible for each other. But ... (read in full...)

A.   18 March 2006: I was in a similar position a while back but luckily my bf did see that it was affecting our relationship (especiailly for me as I felt the same as you - choosing weed over me). He shouldn't be the one giving the ultimatum, you should give him the ... (read in full...)

A.   8 March 2006: It's not wrong to date someone who is 14 years older than you, so long as he's not taking any advantages from you. But you must remember that consent age for sex is 16 and therefore if you have sex with your bf it's illegal. I think your bf is being ... (read in full...)

Q.   My husband confessed to a 5 month affair with a much younger woman. I am trying so hard to forgive and forget but I cannot get it out of my head that he betrayed and lied so much to me. He has been off work on sick leave now for 3 months, since ...

A.   8 March 2006: If you're self-harming and not able to deal with the issue then you need to see someone professional. Marriage counselling maybe? If you deal with your emotions in self-harming way it may ease the pain for a while, but not the cause of it. It's only ... (read in full...)

A.   6 March 2006: You want to rekindle... what? Staring competition? You don't want to get to know someone who only stares, do you? There's plenty of other people who can talk as well as look at you too! Act like you don't care, don't let him get to you! There's more ... (read in full...)

A.   5 March 2006: It seems he does have an aweful lot on his plate so I can understand he hasn't the time for a relationship at the moment. But what I can't understand is he broke up with you but keeps you hanging and gives you mixed messages. It's unfair for you to ... (read in full...)

A.   4 March 2006: For you first question, take your pill when you feel you wouldn't forget the most. Get into a routine like take the pill straight after breakfast, or when I get home from school/work etc. As soon as the routine is set it's pretty permanant. When you ... (read in full...)

A.   4 March 2006: You have to tell him firmly that you have absolutely no intention of doing anything with him what so ever, and it's not funny anymore. If he still persists, ignore him when it starts off. And if he still carries on tell him you're sick and tired of ... (read in full...)

I'm a broke college student so can't impress with $$... Is that why she hasn't called?

Q.   I'm a college student and I really like a woman who's a few years older and a single mother. But I don't feel I have much to offer her. I've taken her out to dinner, but I can't afford to do that much. So I asked if she'd be interested in me making ...

A.   3 March 2006: Making dinner for someone you like is, in my view, so much more considerate than taking someone out for a meal so I don't think she will snub you purely down to that. You mentioned she has a child, she's probably busy with that. Why not offer to ... (read in full...)

A.   1 March 2006: I'm thinking you two may have to reflect your relationship carefully. If the relationship has only been going on for 3 months and having problems, what is it going to be like in 1 year time, or even longer? I'm not suggesting breaking up, but ask ... (read in full...)

Some thoughts on the 'porn' issue...the difference between fantasy and illusion.

Q.   Everyone says that porn is for FANTASY, But the definition of fantasy is "a product of the imagination: ILLUSION" Which is where it should stay, in ones mind, not for their eyes. Fantasies are meant to be imagined not to actually be seen. If ...
