A.   15 May 2007: If you feel that you can (1) forgive him without holding it over his head, and (3) trust him without always wondering if he's going to do it again, then yes, you can get back together. But if you're always looking to spot the "other woman" (even if ... (read in full...)

I am offering her a life of happiness but she still stays tied to her abusive ex because of their kid!

Q.   Hi. I know this woman wants me and she's said that I'm the best man she's ever met. Yet, she has a child from a previous relationship and her ex has started making more demands of her time, expecting her to take the kid to and from him for visits. ...

A.   15 May 2007: First, stop saying anything bad about her ex to her. It's a weird thing, but the more you say how horrible he is, the more she'll feel like she has to defend him (especially if you're right). You don't want her in that position anymore. What ... (read in full...)

A.   14 May 2007: I agree with eyeswideopen. Get a lawyer. Tell your soon-to-be-ex that you'll move out as soon as you can come to a written agreement about the amount he owes you. If the $$ from your house went into his, then you own a lot more of the house th... (read in full...)

A.   14 May 2007: This baby would be a real person, with his/her own needs and wants. S/he's not a test of your relationship, and you can't take it back if the relationship doesn't work. And as a mother of 2 toddlers I can tell you your life will never be the same. ... (read in full...)

A.   11 May 2007: It is possible, though not likely. He will release some sperm before he ejaculates, it just doesn't get the extra push that the ejaculation gives it. Where are you in your cycle? If you're more or less regular, count the first day of your ... (read in full...)

A.   11 May 2007: There's a big difference between between love and infatuation. Infatuation feels great. It makes your heart race and it's new and exciting. But it doesn't last. It can't. If you're lucky, love replaces it. Love lasts. And it's totally worth ... (read in full...)

Q.   Hello, I am 24 yrs old virgin guy. Am sort of confused on sexual matters between me and my girl. I find it uncomfortable to make any sexual moves towards my girl, simply because i have been compelled to be suppressive of all such desires ...

A.   11 May 2007: So you want to have your gf make the first move, and you want her to read your mind that this is what needs to happen? Sounds like you're setting the relationship to fail. Talk to her! If you can't talk to her, you probably shouldn't have sex... (read in full...)

A.   11 May 2007: I don't know about others, but my mom stopped cleaning my room when I was 5. It's unlikely that she will change, especially if she has no reason to. (Would YOU want to change from having someone do everything for you if you didn't have to?) ... (read in full...)

A.   11 May 2007: I would NOT confront him in any way. If you care about him, remember that you want what's best for him. Telling him about your feelings would be to put a temptation in front of him that could destroy his life, family, and kids. Carina gave you ... (read in full...)

A.   10 May 2007: Tell your bf that you will go with him this time ONLY if he makes you a promise: he will never again go to a family function that you are not invited to. If he can't be bothered to stand up for you, then you can't be bothered to make an appearance ... (read in full...)

A.   10 May 2007: Since your parents approve of you dating him, it's not likely that they will turn him in, but if they wanted to they could press charges and he'd go to jail. He's over 18 (an adult) and you're not yet. (In my state the age of consent is 18 -- you ... (read in full...)
