I'm 29 and born and raised in California.

I've gone through quite a few relationships! Some were great and some were down right terrible!

I really enjoy trying to help people get through relationship woes. Sometimes they can be life consuming and everyone can use a little help from time-to-time.

Advice after weight loss, please?

Q.   I guess I would start with this: About a year ago I weighed almost 200 lbs and now that I am down to 145, I am noticing a lot more about myself. Normally I just noticed the stretch marks and fat that my body had decorated itself with, but now I ...

A.   22 May 2010: It sounds like you probably just have little spider veins. I have a few on my legs too, not a big deal. I don't think there's anything you can really do to get rid of them besides maybe some sort of laser treatment? Otherwise, they're less ... (read in full...)

Q.   My Husband and I have been married for almost 7 years!We are both 31 years old. We have a pretty good relationship with an occasional argument here or there. However, he is and RN in a trauma hospital and he works with a TON of younger woman. ...

A.   21 May 2010: No...why would you be jealous and curious if he keeps the same routine? That sounds pretty predictable to me... If you're so worried about these other women, lose a few pounds if it's needed and do your hair and wear makeup if you've been lac... (read in full...)

Did I handle this right?

A.   21 May 2010: Well I wouldn't consider the way that you're feeling as "callous." But I can see both points of view. But comparing a dog with epileptic seizures to a child with epileptic seizures is really comparing apples to oranges and a really stupid comment ... (read in full...)

A.   21 May 2010: Hmmm that is a little strange. Not that all girls are the same, but most girls like to talk to their boyfriends more than their boyfriends like talking to them. To me, it kind of sounds like she's using you as a meal ticket. It's probably best to ... (read in full...)

Got fired because my ex married the boss

Q.   Years ago I dated a woman for a little while and then we broke up. We were only together for a few months. We did not stay in contact. I had a job working for a small company for ten years. In all that time I have seen a lot of people come and ...

He'd been distant, so I broke up by text. But I don't understand his reply!

A.   18 May 2010: Well we don't know why he leaves. But when you said that he comes back depressed and confused I thought of bipolar. That could perhaps be the problem or maybe he doesn't really know how to control his feelings and rather than figure them out at ... (read in full...)

A.   9 May 2010: I can side with her in a way, a guy that smokes dope is usually a deal breaker for me. Like alcohol it does impair your thinking...and typically I associate a guy who smokes as a little loserish and immature. I'm not saying that you are, but it's ... (read in full...)

A.   8 May 2010: You really need to get over it. Hmmm why would he lie to you and delete the history??? Probably because of the way you react. Do you think he really wants to hear you cry and whine over something that is not a big deal? Guys watch porn...t... (read in full...)

A.   7 May 2010: For heaven's sake, read the pamphlet that comes with your birth control--it tells you in there. If you're not ready to become a parent then either A. Don't have sex B. Find a birth control method that you won't forget to take that way you don't ... (read in full...)

A.   7 May 2010: Girl, get your head out of the clouds! He doesn't want to have a relationship with you anymore. You two hooked up, and he probably felt that way at the time but changed his mind. If he wanted to see you, he wouldn't have cancelled plans or just ... (read in full...)

A.   7 May 2010: Well a lot of people get married too young and end up divorcing later in life. It's an ugly truth, but it's reality. You've had to grow up pretty fast and it's true, you are missing out on life in a way...as in you can't just be independent and go ... (read in full...)

A.   5 May 2010: There's a possibility that you can be pregnant because you're having unprotected sex, not because you used next choice twice in one month. So of course there's a possibility that you could be pregnant. If you got your period at the end of april ... (read in full...)

He dumped me because of his friend!

Q.   There was this guy back in highschool, who I really liked. But I knew that we'd never be together because he didn't see me that way, if you know what I mean. He was really interested in a friend of mine, and even when she told him she wasn't ...

A.   5 May 2010: Like another poster said, "bros before hos." Not implying you're a ho, but honestly, if your bestfriend started dating one of your exboyfriends REGARDLESS if you cared or not about him anymore, you'd probably be at least a little annoyed. Even ... (read in full...)

Should I write a letter telling him how I feel?

Q.   I've been trying to tell my friend how I feel about him by saying it online because I'm very shy and don't want to say it in school. I told him that I like him and other things like the way he's been distant is hurting me. Would he be offended? I'm ...

A.   5 May 2010: I don't think he would be offended, but I don't think you'll get the results that you're looking for. You already told him that you like him and he sometimes doesn't even respond to what you tell him. He's avoiding you probably because he doesn't ... (read in full...)

A.   2 May 2010: Well I'd find this a little confusing too...if he emailed you right after, then that definitely shows a lot of interest...but then he says he wants to "keep in touch." That's kind of stupid of him to say. Either he's trying to sound casual about ... (read in full...)

A.   2 May 2010: Yeah, he was definitely hitting on you. This is something you don't want to get in the middle of and it's really messed up of him to be hitting on you like that only a week after they broke up. It's really inappropriate of him in general. If I ... (read in full...)

I want to make this relationship work, but he admitted to molesting his sister

Q.   My boyfriend just recently told me he had a dark secret. It took me hours to convince him to tell me. After I broke through to him he told me he molested his sister when he was about 11 or 12 and she was 8. He paid her money to give him blowjobs and ...

A.   28 April 2010: You said that you're not willing to break up with him, what else do you want us to tell you? You really want us to give you "tips" on how you can get over being disgusted at the fact that your boyfriend molested his own sister? It's just as ... (read in full...)

A.   28 April 2010: Oh please, tell him to shove his "I love you's" where the sun don't shine. I had a boyfriend that did this too and it's just a crock. He loves you as a friend but he's not in love with you; otherwise, you'd still be in a relationship. As time ... (read in full...)

A.   27 April 2010: If she really likes you, she'll be willing to work with it; not tell you, "I need at least 6 inches." I'll be honest, most girls do care about size; however, if a girl likes the guy enough besides his size, she'll be okay with it and find other ... (read in full...)

A.   23 April 2010: Daydreaming is fine...but what do you mean that you believe in things that aren't real? Like vampires? I would say you're schizo, but then you wouldn't know that they're not real. Daydreaming and using your immagination is good, we often lose it ... (read in full...)

A.   23 April 2010: Take it slow. He's acting this way because he's starting to think that he's about to lose you (you're playing this off good by the way). Don't commit to anything just yet, but let him know that you've felt like he's taken you for granted in the ... (read in full...)

A.   20 April 2010: It's in the past, you weren't there. If you decided to marry someone else, the next person would have a sexual past too. I'm sure you weren't "pure" either when you got married just 5-months ago. Don't be upset at her over something that you're ... (read in full...)

A.   20 April 2010: Just like how your friends respect that you're gay, you also need to respect that they're straight and nothing is going to happen. Just come to terms that they are only friends and people that you cannot be romantically involved with. If you have ... (read in full...)
