A.   27 September 2012: You don't need any more examples, he is playing you bigtime. So now he probably thinks you are great wife material and potentially the mother of his kids, while he carries on behaving like bachelor boy behind your back. DON'T BE TAKEN FOR A FOOL! ... (read in full...)

A.   26 September 2012: Don't delay or spend any more time analysing. Women love a keen man. Ring her now and arrange to go out. No need to say now on what basis. The best relationships start as friendships so no harm in starting out slowly and seeing how you feel as time ... (read in full...)

Q.   Recently, while having intercourse, I queefed. I felt really embarrassed even though I know it's normal for that to happen. Yet my partner didn't seem to know and he actually asked if I farted. I explained to him it was a queef and he said he ...

A.   26 September 2012: Yeah, it is embarassing! But anyone grown up just laughs it off so the older you get and the more experienced your partners are, the better things will be. I imagine the vast majority of women have experienced this, and we know how you feel but ... (read in full...)

A.   25 September 2012: My reaction is that she is still fairly young. But while she stays under your roof with you supporting her, she needs to play by your rules. She probably won't be with that guy for long, and hopefully it will be a learning curve for her and she will ... (read in full...)

A.   24 September 2012: We live in a small house and I stayed at home to bring up our two children. If I had worked and only had one child we would have a lot more materially by now. For me, one child is not an option. I think they benefit from being with siblings and ... (read in full...)

A.   22 May 2012: All the factors you list are actually not that important. Wearing a shirt/jumper isn't going to be the thing that ruins it, and neither is turning up on a bus instead of a car or wearing/not wearing aftershave. The conversation thing is an issu... (read in full...)
