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.

Boyfriends mother excludes me from family events.

Q.   Please help me out on this! My potential mother-in-law leaves me out of family gatherings such as Easter, inviting instead someone my bf used to go out with, whom she prefers, and whom she has a close relationship with and adores. Every holiday I am ...

A.   3 April 2010: I think it's good that you told your boyfriend how you feel in this situation. I think you have every right to feel how you do. I would definitely feel the same way if I were in your shoes along with many other people. Your future mother-in-law ... (read in full...)

A.   3 April 2010: I wouldn't call him a player, just keeping his options open. He lives in another state and you'll just be worried about him all the time. Forget him, he's a waste of your time.... (read in full...)

Q.   *OP's own title* y am i meeting guys that only wanna drag my good name through the mud. ok so my very first bf lied about sleeping wit me like he was braggimg about it and that ended everything we had. we did not sleep together. then while on the ...

A.   3 April 2010: Well your first boyfriend was probably from when you were younger and guys mature slower, so he was immature and stupid. The next guy...he was a player, what did you expect? There are guys out there that want a girlfriend and not just FWB, you ... (read in full...)

A.   3 April 2010: You're thinking about it way too much. Be yourself. Playing 'the game' in my opinion doesn't occur if you meet the right person. But if he texted you late...like you should be in bed or you're out partying and didn't hear your phone late, then ... (read in full...)

Does this sound like a one night stand?

Q.   )OP's own title* I've never had anything like a one night stand before. I usually spend months dating a guy before sex comes into the equation, so I have no idea whether the way this guy was acting suggests it was a one night stand or something more...

A.   3 April 2010: All I have to say is don't get too excited about it or get your hopes up. After a good night many guys tend to talk about the future after these situations and then they never follow through. Just don't make a big deal about what happpened EVER ... (read in full...)

A.   2 April 2010: Okay, I'll believe you then. Here's my take...there's a fine line between love and hate. Do you know what I mean? Say for example you get dumped...yet you were so in love with him but you're so upset by his actions that you begin to hate him. ... (read in full...)

A.   2 April 2010: OP...get a grip. Just because you took General Psychology at your local Junior College does not mean that you've "studied" it. All you want is an answer that you want to hear, you want to hear, "OMG! That is a true sign that he just can't bear ... (read in full...)

A.   2 April 2010: My ex was bipolar and he never took medication. He would self-medicate with illegal drugs. If your boyfriend doesn't get on any sort of medication, DUMP HIM NOW! If you think it's bad now, it'll only get worse.... (read in full...)

A.   2 April 2010: Well you need not worry about getting a job anytime soon as a pole dancer considering you're way too young. He's around your age I'm guessing? Young boys have a fascination with that because they're young and immature. Sure, older guys still go ... (read in full...)

A.   31 March 2010: You already gave him the benefit of the doubt and as you said, he's acting shady again. I believe (and I think you do too) tha the phone falling off the roof is an exaggeration. It may have fallen off the roof, but apparently it still works. What ... (read in full...)

Which do you prefer: a female or male Gynecologist?

Q.   Hey Aunts, Pretty trivial one here: I'm planning on going on the pill, and I just made a doctor's appointment. It only just occured to me that most people would probably want to see a female doctor about this, but when they asked me if I would ra...

A.   31 March 2010: I prefer female because for some reason in my mind I feel like a male wanting to be a gynecologist is a perv and wants to look at vaginas all day. I'm sure it's not completely the case, but I won't go to a male if I don't have to. My best friend ... (read in full...)

A.   30 March 2010: If you're not ready to sleep with him, then I would suggest avoiding a date at his house. Especially any sort of sexual innuendo jokes gives false expectations, so steer clear of those also if you're not ready for sex with him. Suggest you go see ... (read in full...)

A.   30 March 2010: First you need to realize that a drug addict cannot be helped unless they want to help themselves. You can't help him until he takes the steps himself to cure his drug problem. Second, cocain and mephedrone are not just simple pleasures in life! ... (read in full...)

A.   30 March 2010: Well what is there to salvage when you didn't really have anything anyway? A lot of girls think that hickies are gross on a guy or girl. Plus, sleeping with another girl typically turns a girl off, we don't want to know or care who you're sleeping ... (read in full...)

Q.   I was with my boyfriend (21) for 2 and a half years. Im 22. We broke up 8 months ago as it was a terrible emotionally abusive relationship. He was so so nasty that I just cracked and eventually developed some type of anxiety. He cheated on me, ...

A.   30 March 2010: Just because he's your boyfriend doesn't mean that he can't rape you. There are husbands that have raped their wives. If you told him you didn't want to have sex but he persisted and followed through with the act against your wishes, then yes, ... (read in full...)

A.   28 March 2010: Think of it this way: most guys don't want to take you to a movie and want to catch up if they just want to be your friend. In my opinion, I think he's asking you out both out of respect and because he wants to know if it's okay to be a little more ... (read in full...)

A.   28 March 2010: So the oldest he is is 35? To me that's not old, but then I'm 26...you're an adult so I don't think that the age thing is that much of an issue. Life experiences etc. would make you less mature than him, but not necessarily in other aspects. ... (read in full...)

A.   27 March 2010: You can't get her back if she doesn't want to be with you. You two are really young and the breakup was probably bound to happen sooner or later. If one person is feeling like the other's happiness is based solely on them and the relationship, it ... (read in full...)
