I am currently coming to terms with alot of things in my life. One, would be the break up of someone extremely close to me which is taken its toll on me. The second, is to do with something which happened to me along time ago which I know i must now face to look forward. I feel I have reached a point in my life where I need to change things for the better, by facing my fears.

I found this site when i was at a real low point and it really helped to hear from other people who could understand/help my situation. Since then I have found myself wanting to help others who have found themselves in a situation they need advice from an outside source.

I just like to try and give my neutral and mature perspective to a given situation, without judging or labelling people.

As you probably guessed I am now single; I live in London, England and am just getting on with things the best I can for now.

A.   11 April 2007: I have to agree with alot of the people here. You cant expect sex everyday in a relationship. Poeple have different sex drive levels. For you to turn down her offer of a cuddle is only pushing her further away. Women like to be held and ... (read in full...)

My GF has just come back from a 5 week holiday, she seems to have changed, or am I being paranoid ?

Q.   My girlfriend of one year has just come back from a five week long holiday on the other side of the world. She's changed. She seems to have something on her mind and she's not affectionate with me. Am I being paranoid or has something happened? ...

A.   11 April 2007: What a con!! What happened to doing you a favour? You would of been better off keeping the original loan, surely? Money and family never really go hand in hand, and not if they are trying to rip the shirt off your back aswell. He is doing yo... (read in full...)

A.   11 April 2007: Some girls find it hard to do this. Dont hold it against her. If you care for her the best thing you can do is to show her, by giving her time and the effort. Laughter does wonders with opening up people and their inhibitions. Not all peop... (read in full...)

Q.   Should I still trust him? My boyfriend were going out for a year. Then suddenly he broke up with me, with not that good of an explanation. At that time, he got pretty close with another girl, and 3 weeks after our break up, he admitted to me that ...

A.   11 April 2007: Sounds like he cant make up his mind. Trust is a fragile thing which people sometimes take for granted. If he was at all serious about your relationship he would consider your feelings in all of this. What he done was wrong and you have every ... (read in full...)

Q.   I really hate my body and my low self esteem is beginning to distract me from everything else that i should be focussing on. I actually feel a constant disgust from just being in my skin, i can't look at myself in the mirror without seeing all my ...

A.   11 April 2007: Putting yourself down like this can end up going round in circles and you will end up running yourself into a dark place. Its natural to see the obvious things you dont like about yourself; your hair, your skin, etc....But without sounding cliched, ... (read in full...)

How do I strike a balanced way of seeing things so that I can relate with people the way they are rather than trying to see them the way I want to.

Q.   I have failed to found a person, yet, a friend or a girl who could really understand my deeper feelings and would appreciate the same or accept them to be normal. Because of this, i am losing faith and don't find it worth relating with any human ...

A.   11 April 2007: I can see where you come from. In the ideal world we would'nt have the horrors that surround us on a daily basis, plastered on the news and newspapers about racial hatred and the such. We now live in a society where no-one takes responsibility for ... (read in full...)

Q.   Recently I haven't felt that horny and really for the past year I haven't been as horny as I was when I was about 15-16. I don't know why this is, but in the past few weeks I've had driving tests (3) and eventually passed. This is the only thing I ...

A.   9 April 2007: Stress can lower your sex drive no doubt. A hectic, busy lifestyle no matter what age can effect all aspects of your body and mind. Your diet can have an effect as well. You say the multi-vitamins worked for you then possibly it could be your ... (read in full...)

A.   9 April 2007: Being shy does'nt have to be a curse, for one. Sounds to me like you need a little bit of a confidence boost. Don't compare yourself to other people, you are who you are and should be proud of that. Some guy will come along and see that and ... (read in full...)

Q.   This is just it: I have a mad crush on my doctor. I'm sure it's some kind of transference type thing, but in the meantime, how do I keep from making a jerk of myself? I barely know the man, and he's not my type at all...so why is this ...

A.   9 April 2007: Simple way out would be to change doctor. However, good doctors can be hard to come by so i would use that as a last resort. It may be a security thing? I reckon this will pass over time. I would'nt worry too much about it.... (read in full...)

A.   9 April 2007: First thing is first, do you have any other income? If yes, think about getting a loan? Simple. If you are unemployed and totally out of work then get a job. Go down the job centre and get ANY job you can, and then get a loan. Does this money need ... (read in full...)

A.   8 April 2007: To me it sounds like someone or both of them are lying. The question is where your trust lies and what is that trust based upon. Your friend (if being harrassed) would never call your husband if that was the case. I cant see how she would be ... (read in full...)

A.   8 April 2007: Child porn is wrong, no matter how it is looked at. If your BF can't admit he has an real issue that needs looking at then leave him where he is. If he loves you and is any kind of a man he will honour this fact and deal with his problems, coz it ... (read in full...)
