Did I cheat or did I not cheat? I'm so confused....

Q.   Ok, so the guy that I am dating (but he claims we are not in a relationship "JUST dating") stopped speaking to me for two weeks. I thought he was not coming back. History: Long story short, (about 3 years ago) I was married for a year and my no...

A.   1 July 2008: I don't think that this counts as cheating as such, you thought you were not in a relationship and therefore were free to do what you wanted. However, if it is making you feel guilty you might want to tell him to ease your wn conscience. Does ... (read in full...)

Is this just a bad patch or should I consider ending it?

If a guy says he dumped his ex because SHE used him for sex, but he pressurises his new for sex, what does that tell you?

Q.   If a guy tells you he hates "skanks" and "sluts", but he himself tries to sleep with every girl he goes out with on the first date, then how can he say that? If a guy says he dumped his ex gf because SHE used him for sex, but he puts pressure on his ...

A.   18 June 2008: It means hes a guy. They all have double standards, they're allowed to sleep around and girls aren't. Him denying it could mean that he doesn't want you to think of him like that. Or it could be him trying to get in your pants. You have ... (read in full...)

A.   18 June 2008: Being on the pill can make periods sorer at first, cause it sorta messes up your system at first. If you really are worried then you should take a pregnancy test or see your doctor. However, its probably better to wait until your next period t... (read in full...)

A.   18 June 2008: I don't think thats the kind of person you want to have as a friend if they turn round and say something like that to be honest. It could have been a bet or a dare, but still not a nice thing to do, especially to your best friend. I think you s... (read in full...)

Q.   Right, so last night my boyfriend and I were relaxing in front of the t.v and having a chat, then he starting hinting that I should go gym more often.... My gut reaction was like Pfft! why? I used to go gym all the time for 6 months flat, but I re...

Still in love with him, how do I get him to let me be his friend?

Q.   My boyfriend broke up with me after dating for a year. We had arguements like up couples do. It's been four months since the break-up. I was devastated because I didn't know the real reason why we broke up. I asked him on several occassions to talk ...

A.   17 June 2008: It seems like he may need some time to himself, rushing into friendship after a relationship can often not work as there hasn't been time to get over the relationship. His issues may even be related to you or your relationship which may explain ... (read in full...)

Am I the selfish one?

Q.   Hi I need help, about three years ago I left my husband of 10years to move in with my present partner who left his partner of 23 years, I have four children from a previous marriage and he had two children with his partner, my husband and I had not ...

A.   15 June 2008: Let him know you want his attention. When your son is out, put on the sexiest lingerie you have and plop yourself on his knee at the pc. Show him how much you miss him and what he is missing out on. Stop cooking for him and doing his wa... (read in full...)

A.   15 June 2008: You don't mention your height but 8 stone is not heavy. If you really are worried about your weight however, you should look at your diet, as your lifestyle seems really busy its likely that you aren't eating as healthily as you could. It does... (read in full...)

We're not even engaged yet. Am I wasting my time?

Q.   Hi everyone, I've been with my boyfriend for 10 months and we practically live together. We have done since more or less day one of our relationship. Before we got into a relationship, he was renting a house off his mum but she needed to rent i...

A.   15 June 2008: It sounds as though he has had a failed marriage in the past which would explain his reluctance to rush into such a committment. It doesn't matter how quickly other couples are getting engaged, what matters is that you love each other and are happ... (read in full...)

I'm the one that makes the effort - any ideas?

Q.   Well, The thing is i have been going out with this boy for almost two months now and it has been great! The only thing is i put all the effort into our relationship. He never comes up to me for a kiss, i always have to go up to him! I feel like i ...

A.   15 June 2008: Have you spoke to him about this?? It could be that he doesn't realise or is enjoying all the attention he is getting. If you see him across the street or in school or wherever, text him saying "am i getting a kiss then" or something like that and... (read in full...)

A.   15 June 2008: The most attractive thing in a person is confidence, so if you can flash him your best smile when covered in mud, he'll pay attention. Laugh about being filthy and try not to freak out too much. I know my boyfriend hates it when I moan abou... (read in full...)

A.   15 June 2008: Women having a lower sex drive than men is not an uncommon problem, especially if you aren't enjoying it. You have to figure what you enjoy, where you like to be touched etc and let him know. Or even have some oral sex first and stopping before y... (read in full...)

A.   15 June 2008: You are probably just nervous which can affect a man's ability to sustain an erection. Its nothing to worry about as you know you can keep an erection. Just explain to your girlfriend that you really enjoyed what she was doing, ensure she k... (read in full...)
