While I have attended counselling courses in the past I forgot most of it when I went through my own challenges. Somehow the theory seemed inadequate.

I have been married and divorced several times, have travelled a lot, while usually a positive upbeat personality I have also experienced depression first hand and I know what rejection and having your heart broken feels like.

Life goes on. I am now single, writing another book, learning another language, and keeping my eyes open for that magical princess who will capture my heart. And yes I do believe in love at first sight and fairy stories.

I am old enough to have learned a few lessons and young enough to make some more mistakes.

C'est la vie

Why has my husband got a secret lock code on his phone?

Q.   Can anyone tell me what could be the reason for my husband having a secret lock code in his cell. He cheated on me once and could this be he cheating me still? Do any of your husbands or you yourself do as such? When he was cheating on me the same...

A.   15 June 2008: Hi again. Clearly you still have major trust issues with your husband so I am guessing that his cheating on you was recent. If you think he will always cheat on you, why do you stay with him? Have you asked him about the code and why you cannot h... (read in full...)

Q.   Can anyone tell me what could be the reason for my husband having a secret lock code in his cell. He cheated on me once and could this be he cheating me still? Do any of your husbands or you yourself do as such? When he was cheating on me the same...

A.   14 June 2008: It depends on the phone but some phones use a code just to stop a person from accidentally dialling a number while it is in a packet or bag. It is quite common really so taken by itself I would not attach any importance to it. But, if you have other ... (read in full...)

A.   14 June 2008: I think you need to carefully think about your motives. Are you hoping that if you tell her, she will dump him and he can be yours? Perhaps you just want to hurt him because he hurt you? Maybe there are other reasons. While owning up is a good thi... (read in full...)

A.   18 May 2008: Dress smart, and just slightly conservative. By that I mean do not wear the latest trendy hot fashion but by all means look up to date. Use carefully applied makeup that accentuates rather than exaggerates. Just a faint splash of perfume. Make sur... (read in full...)

I've trouble finding a boyfriend - what am I doing wrong?

Q.   I have the worst trouble finding a boyfriend. I am almost 21 and still single (yeah very pathetic hahaha!) I just want to know what I'm doing wrong. I can be shy but I'm not as shy as I used to be. Is there any fool proof ways to get a guy? And is...

A.   11 May 2008: The other advice given is really good, but I also think you should be cautious in your attitudes to feeling desperate for a BF. Unfortunately there are guys out there who if they think you are desperate will try to manipulate and control you and ... (read in full...)

A.   10 May 2008: Hi, While I am not a woman and so cannot give you specific advice, I can tell you that first you do really need to explore yourself. You need to know every curve and fold inside and out. Every woman is a little different down there and you need... (read in full...)

A.   4 May 2008: Personally I do not believe in signs, but when we see something that makes us think it is a sign, then maybe it is our sub-conscious telling us about something or to do something. Look inside yourself and I think you will find the answer.... (read in full...)

A.   4 May 2008: Do not worry too much about it. You are still young and your body is still changing. The other thing to consider is that a man can only come so many times in a short number of days (it varies with each man, but there is a limit) before the body... (read in full...)

A.   28 April 2008: I think you need to really think about whether you want to be with him or not. Personally if I was in your shoes I would be out of there. There is no explanation that he can give you that won't leave him either like a sleaze or a love rat. And ... (read in full...)

A.   27 April 2008: Hi, First let me apologise on behalf of all the other guys. You do not deserve this and they are complete idiots. Second, I think the best defence is a good offence. Let me explain. Think of women you know (either personally or celebrities) who... (read in full...)

A.   26 April 2008: I think that it is likely that you are mistaking being friends with a family member with more romantic possibilities. My advice ... Wait. Just be you and do not try to pretend. If she is attracted to you then she will let you know. But if you... (read in full...)

A.   16 April 2008: Hi, It is clear that she has trust issues and a fear of being hurt. Maybe she was badly hurt in the past or her childhood was so uncertain that she feels you are her emotional rock. I would strongly suggest that you should both attend relations... (read in full...)

I don't think my girlfriend is comfortable with my new facial scars!

Q.   Hey, I'm just a bit unsure of what to do here. Bit of background, I've been in the army for 3 years now, I went on overseas deployment and ended up getting wounded and coming home early. I now have some bad scaring on my face. I know it doesn't ...

A.   16 April 2008: I suspect that she is more concerned about how you are coping with it and how she can best support you. While some women are more concerned with appearance than looks, generally it is the other way around. Have you ever noticed that often people h... (read in full...)

A.   16 April 2008: Life is what it is. Nobody makes the right choices all the time and you would want her to cut you some slack for "your past" so why shouldn't you do the same for her. Get over it because it will only poison your feelings for her. Everybody has ... (read in full...)

Q.   So my boyfriend is a very big pothead, and I can't stand smoking weed. I have told him several times how I feel about it and I'm not asking him to stop altogether, I just want him to not do it everyday like he does now. It's senseless and he always ...

A.   16 April 2008: Only if you leave him will he truly face the choice of lose the drugs or lose you. As an addict he will not believe a threat to leave but only you actually leaving. If he then leaves the drugs, you are better off and can consider getting back with ... (read in full...)

A one night stand - should I give him a call?

Q.   I recently had a one night stand with a man I met at a bar. We were both very drunk. To be quite honest he didn't even know my name until we were finished and I told him what it was. We didn't exchange numbers. Just as I left he said 'call me ...

A.   15 April 2008: If you were both very drunk then it is likely that you did not exchange enough information to really know about each other's situation. Calling him may be a big mistake and open up things that should just be left alone. I would suggest that you... (read in full...)

I'm fed up with being treated as though I were a child!

Q.   OK so I'm looking for advice on how to explain to my parents that I'm not a child, it's a strange question, and has nothing to do with a relationship, but just bear with me please. I'm almost 18, I'm in the army, I've finished highschool, and ...

A.   15 April 2008: Hey, I am old enough to be your father and yet my own parents in their 70's still treat me like a child. There is really nothing you can do about this other than to accept that is how they are, be confident in you own decisions, and live your own ... (read in full...)

A.   13 April 2008: There is a difference between going on a date to the cinema or anywhere else, and in being boyfriend and girlfriend. When I was younger we called a date a date but several dates was "going steady" and that was being boyfriend and girlfriend. Back ... (read in full...)

A.   9 April 2008: Hi, It is not so much the age difference as the fact of your youth. If you were both even 5 or 10 years older it would be less of a potential problem Let me explain. You at nearly 18 still have a number of years maturing to do. During this time... (read in full...)

A.   9 April 2008: I have never heard of that one and seriously doubt that it would help. There are several "morning-after" pills but they are only effective for a very limited time. You need to get medical advice (or a pharmacist could help) as soon as possible and ... (read in full...)
