He ended things without a word and now I have to see him. How should I act?

Q.   Has anybody ever had to deal with a situation like this, i'm sure it's happened many times but I don't know how to react or what i should do or say when i see him... There's this guy who I was dating for nearly 6 months, a long time! He's not m...

A.   26 January 2013: I agree with your friends try not to let it bother you and definitely ignore him when you are out. He would need a good explanation if he suddenly tried to speak to you after this. Go out have fun with your friends and don't let him see your upset.... (read in full...)

My father won't get rid of a POS oven! Should I have my friend sabotage it?

Q.   I know this question isn't the sort of question that this website's created for, but I want some opinions on what I should do about this. For about 16 years my family has used the same oven. At one point it was a pretty good oven, but overtime...

A.   26 January 2013: Bad idea, sounds very dangerous. It's your dads house so it's up to him really to get furniture/appliances. Soon you will be old enough to have your own place/stuff. You could try nagging him till he eventually gives in, finding an amazing deal on t... (read in full...)

A weekend away together, he grew cold on the way home and now has totally frozen me out. Why?

Q.   I have been seeing this guy for 2 months. Things were going great. Just two weeks ago, during my drive home after hanging out with him, he sent me a text that said, "I think we should take this relationship to a new level, will you be my facebook ...

A.   26 January 2013: Sounds like he is a man who enjoys the chase more than the prize, once he had you it wasn't as exciting anymore. He probably has hang ups and insecurities from his past. It's upsetting when someone does this but remember you didn't really know him, ... (read in full...)

First boyfriend. But it's not working. What's the best way to break up with a boyfriend?

Q.   Hi everyone, I'm 16, I've had a boyfriend for 3 months but I just feel like its not right anymore. How do I break up with him? Do I need to lead up to it- be offhand/busy if he wants to see me, not reply to texts properly etc so he knows...

A.   26 January 2013: There is no easy way to break up with someone. Just try to do it as soon as possible and be very honest so he knows there is no chance of you getting back together. Also be respectful and wait a polite amount of time before you meet someone new. G... (read in full...)

She's finally ready to have sex but I'm not

Q.   Here's the deal. She's finally ready to go to the next step with me. We've been together for half a year now and she says that she has fallen for me and trusts me completely with her heart. I would be lying if I said that I wasn't craving this ...

A.   26 January 2013: Yes there are some special latex free condoms which are slightly different, not being a man I couldn't comment on how they feel, but you could give them a go. Also extra thin and sensitive ones are available. She isn't going to want you to last for ... (read in full...)

At 17 how would guys view me if I chose to have an 'open relationship?' or is it just time breakup with my Bf?

Q.   Hi guys. What is the male view of an open relationship? I'm 17 and although I enjoy the company of a 'boyfriend' I'm not ready to become monogamous just to one boy. An open relationship where we have the companionship but freedom sounds perfect t...

A.   26 January 2013: At 17 people are going to judge you if you have an open relationship. Could you try ending your relationship but staying friends? You are young it's a great time to have lots of new relationships and to work out what/who you really want from life... (read in full...)

I really want this girl back but I want things to be right. Do I wait and be her friend for now?

Q.   Hey Agony Aunts! I have a great story to tell, and I do need lots of answers. I hope you are prepared, because I am going to really make your minds work! I met a special girl on a very special day. Guess what! She wanted nothing to do with me...

A.   26 January 2013: It doesn't sound like the healthiest relationship and there are children involved that you need to think about. If you want to go back make sure you treat her right and with respect. Emotionally she is going to be very vulnerable if she has been in ... (read in full...)

I positively enjoy performing oral sex on my husband. Do other women experience the same thing?

Q.   I enjoy and look forward to performing oral sex on my husband. He is shocked by this fact. I tried to explain that it is no different than a sexual position that turns him on or a fantasy he has about me. I want my husband to ask for it. He feels ...

A.   26 January 2013: I enjoy doing it. Depends on the size of the penis though. If the man is too big it isn't enjoyable. But in general, yeah I like it!... (read in full...)

A.   26 January 2013: You just might not be his type... Or he could see you as a friend and nothing more... Maybe he doesn't know how you feel and if you asked him out it would be different... Or he's just not that into you. Hard to tell really, if he's not actually turn... (read in full...)

BF reacted badly when I mentioned my physical insecurities about sex - should he be so upset, and how can I fix this?

Q.   Ok, I need some insight. Without being too graphic, my boyfriend of over a year and a half and I had finished having sex and were lying in bed. Somewhere along the lines of us just talking he said that he really like when I’m on top and in reverse, ...

A.   26 January 2013: I think he's probably offended you would rather not face him during sex and that you feel you cannot share your body with him. Whether you face him or not he can see your body and he knows what you look like. He is obviously attracted to you and to ... (read in full...)

My bf has big money issues and I wonder if I should just leave him in this mess he created

Q.   Hello everyone. My bf is currently having big money issues and he's much to be blamed. He had taken an order for which he did not have sufficient capital to do the work. So he took a loan from the bank and borrowed money from family and friends. ...

A.   26 January 2013: Don't get involved financially at best you will end up resenting him for your money troubles, at worst you'll end up seriously in debt. If you really love the guy support him emotionally but keep your bank details locked away!... (read in full...)

What do I wear?

Q.   Basically I'm going out for a get together with this boy for what I know it's not a date it's just close friends getting together but I quite like him more than a friend. So I'm over thinking on how to dress and how to do my make up choice? Do I g...

A.   24 January 2013: I would say some kind of dress but a daytime one nothing too dressed up. You will feel more confident if you have put effort into what you look like. Do your hair and good natural makeup. Bit of perfume to top it off, men remember a signature scent. ... (read in full...)

Q.   Hello everyone, I'm a 17 year old girl. I have a party coming up and my crush is going to be there and something tells me there's going to be some action. Does anyone have any hot make out advice that guys like, but nothing too dirty cause it's...

A.   24 January 2013: Hmm definitely wear your hottest outfit, if you look great you will feel confident and sexy. Boys can sense this. Boys like to know you are enjoying it, that means lots of smiling and eye contact. And of course always leave them wanting more, wh... (read in full...)

Are these the signs of an abusive relationship or am I being paranoid?

Q.   I am a little worried about the relationship I have with my boyfriend, but I don’t know if I am being paranoid or not. A few years ago I was in an abusive relationship. My instinct at the time told me to get out, but I didn’t and I got hurt. ...

A.   24 January 2013: To be honest it does sound a little paranoid but we aren't there, sometimes it is just a gut instinct thing. I would probably give him the benefit of the doubt for now but keep an eye out for anymore signs... Ultimately it's down to how you feel. Is... (read in full...)

Why does my husband watch one particular part of my body during sex?

Q.   Hi, I am really embarrassed but here it goes: sex with my husband is over the top. I mean, since I've been with him I finally understood what "to make love" means: he's caring and sentimental in the bedroom and outside the bedroom too. When he is ...

A.   24 January 2013: It's easy to over analyse things during sex. He obviously enjoys watching, and as its you he's watching, even if it isn't your face, it isn't really anything to worry about.... (read in full...)

Q.   I have recently found out my 24-year-old daughter is dating a convicted sex offender, she had inadvertently mentioned it when talking about her new boyfriend (he's 32). I feel sick and disgusted but at the sametime am powerless to stop her. She...

A.   24 January 2013: I'm not Canadian but I doubt you would be considered a sex offender for that, something else obviously happened. Possibly he exposed himself to some people who didnt want him to, possibly something more serious. You don't really know. You are stuck ... (read in full...)

Q.   Hi everyone About a month ago I had unprotected sex, he didn't actually go inside me anytime but thought it was best to get the morning after pill anyway. After getting the morning after pill I was told to come back 4 weeks later and as I was ...

A.   22 January 2013: Doesn't sound like anything to worry about as you have only just started taking them so your body is still getting used to it. You do need to make sure you don't miss any pills and you take them at the same time everyday.... (read in full...)

A.   22 January 2013: Well you could split the two of them up then run away from college and live happily together, but that sounds completely mental so maybe just try and find someone else, enjoy the flirting but see it for what it is - harmless fun. ... (read in full...)

My niece is sleeping with my ex boyfriend. Should I confront her?

Q.   I was involved with a guy for a period of time. I left him because of his womanising ways. Since then my niece saw it fit to contact him and send him dirty pictures of herself to him and he send to her. My niece knew he and I were involved. I ...

A.   22 January 2013: I totally understand how you feel and would want to do the same if it was me! But when you step back and think about it you realise confronting them wouldn't make you feel any better and I doubt it would stop either of them behaving the way they do. ... (read in full...)

A.   22 January 2013: She is being defensive as no one wants to be in the wrong. You know in your heart you can't stay with a girl who cheats on you (going on dating sites counts as cheating). Stay strong you've done the hard bit ending it, things will get easier w... (read in full...)

Q.   I need help. I'm falling to pieces. I dated this NAVY guy online for 5 months before we met. I was skeptical at first, didn't want another dead end relationship. I told him I wasn't looking to get serious, I just wanted to chat and get to know ...

A.   22 January 2013: No you don't deserve it. The way you saw the relationship was as something serious potentially long term. The way he saw it was about sex. You don't really know someone till you meet in person. Texts/email/phone calls can all be taken the wrong way, ... (read in full...)

Q.   There's this girl who I've been seeing, it started out where I realised we had the same sense of humour and other interests. Well at the weekend (friday) she met my parents and my mum said we get on really well and what not and I had never felt do ...

A.   22 January 2013: I don't think a spark can disappear just like that. You will have good days and bad days, good weeks and bad weeks. No one feels the same way all the time. Sounds like she's a nice girl who you are into. Don't allow the doubts to creep in and spoil ... (read in full...)

A.   20 January 2013: Problem with dating older men is if you end up with one long term they will die before you (men have shorter life expectancy a anyway) so you will be left on your own for your pension years! Look at all the lonely old ladies... Obviously a long way ... (read in full...)

A.   20 January 2013: You will cope, as you have to. It's hard when your parents dissapoint you but they are real people who can get themselves into the same problems as anyone. It sounds like early days so you don't really know what your mum or dad will do. But this... (read in full...)

A.   20 January 2013: Men respond very differently to breakups and can move on to a new relationship more quickly. You need to focus on you. After a month of feeling sorry for yourself it's time to get back out there, go out with friends, book a holiday, take up a new ... (read in full...)

A.   20 January 2013: It sounds like your parents are trying to do what they believe is the best thing to do. If you have a child who is unwell/disabled you would naturally be more overprotective. Do you have any other family members you could talk to, they might be able ... (read in full...)

A.   17 January 2013: Hmm hard to say. That's more than most female friends would do I think unless they were a bit drunk. Are you sure she was sober? You need more clues before making a move I think. Could you get into a similar cosy situation again and see what happ... (read in full...)

A.   17 January 2013: Could you see if someone you work with is looking for a housemate, they might not charge too much. It must cost you a fortune in fuel so it might work out cheaper in the end. The only other option is looking for another internship, you have a good... (read in full...)
