Why doesn't he take pictures of me?

Q.   Does anyone have a spouse or lover who will not photograph them? My husband has never took my picture unless I mention it to him. I know he took pictures of girlfriends he had before me because I've seen them. He still has them. Yet, unless I ...

A.   26 May 2009: Your husband probably took pictures of his ex when they were on holiday or at special events - normally a woman has to say to a man 'take a picture of me here' on holiday and things like that. I wouldn't read too much into it, it certainly doesn't ... (read in full...)

What's wrong with me? Am I destined to be alone?

Q.   I've never felt so alone, and it seems like I'm the only person in the world who doesn't have someone special. Sometimes I imagine what it would be like to have a boyfriend who loves me and I imagine being held and talked to lovingly and havi...

A.   20 March 2009: This is such a common question - you're not alone in thinking that everyone is experiencing happiness in a relationship except for you - I am 34 and have just met someone, and I think the one thing I have learned in my life is that no-one is ... (read in full...)

I need help to stop being so insecure and crazy. Why am I so off balance?

A.   19 March 2009: I can't top the great answers given by the other agony aunts on this one - but I just wanted to add that insecurity really does kill a realtionship and you need to think of doing things which do not involve him a couple of nights a week - it's ... (read in full...)

Q.   ok so my boyfriend went to another state for thanksgiving with his family and he started acting weird he wouldnt call me and when I called, one night his brother answered and sang and hung up.... then I called back, he answered and I heard a girl in ...

A.   25 November 2008: Personally I wouldn't tell him - he won't know if you hacked into his email account beacuse when he goes to log on, it will just say that he doesn't recognise his password. Can't you hack into it again and change it back again ( if you did it once ... (read in full...)

Back in the dating scene and confused: should I have called HIM?

Q.   Can anyone throw some light on my current situation please? I am new to the dating scene after ending a very long term relationship so I'm not good at this. I met a guy last Sunday that I thought was quite attractive. He is a close friend of ...

A.   25 November 2008: Hello there, He has only had your number for 2 days, maybe less, and it's not unusual for someone to take longer than two days to call. He will probably call you tomorrow or Thursday to ask you out for this weekend. You are absolutely right not to ... (read in full...)

Is it morally wrong that part of my attraction to him is the lifestyle he can provide me with?

Q.   A few months ago met a man who seems to be very attracted to me.. And I'm considering dating him. The problem is that I have trouble believing that he is really interested in me. He is a partner in an oil trading company, rich, good-looking, and ...

A.   19 November 2008: No, it's not morally wrong at this early stage. We are attracted to people for all sorts of reasons - why is this any different to being attracted to someone for their looks? It would be wrong, however, if you were in a long term relationship with ... (read in full...)

I don't stand out or look special on my wedding pictures and I'm upset about it.

Q.   Would appreciate views and advice. I have come back from honeymoon and have been looking at my wedding photos. My wedding day was a bit mixed and not easy going at times due to family pressures and nasty comments. However I have become upset ...

A.   18 November 2008: It's really rude of them to wear white / ivory on your wedding day. You can forgive younger people the error but older members of the family certainly know better than to wear the same colour as the bride. You do have my sympathies, and I'm glad ... (read in full...)

Q.   I am happily married, most of the time, to my husband of 9 years. I have a younger sister who is absolutely gorgeous in every way, shape and form. I am also very good looking; just not as good looking as her. About two years after we got married, ...

A.   15 October 2008: I really feel for you, I have an older sister who is absolutely stunning in a way I could never be. I am tall, gangly and blonde, whereas she is petite, with dark tumbling curls and a perfect face and body. It is very difficult when the man you are ... (read in full...)

A.   24 September 2008: I can't understand why you would allow your wife to go away with a group of people (and not include you)? I say 'allow' but of course I know we can't dictate to people, I simply mean that this alone should be cause for concern. Staying in the same ... (read in full...)

Q.   I have always had a few problems with getting a boyfriend in my life, I could never find a guy who liked me enough and was worth keeping at the same time. Recently I have become embarrassed of my looks because I have gained some weight and I am ...

A.   24 September 2008: Hi babe, perhaps you should see a doctor..then again it could be just the dreaded cellulite. Are they orange peel effect? Always affects the back of the thighs. If so then your weight is a contributing factor. The only way to get rid of these is to ... (read in full...)

A.   24 September 2008: When everything they do aggravates you, then you know it is a sure fire sign to move on. Also, losing your sex drive is another way of knowing things are not working out. You have been with this man for 5 years (ignoring the 7 month break) and you ... (read in full...)

A.   2 July 2008: It's so strange that he would leave money in the car..what if the car was stolen? That really does seem odd and you are right to be concerned about him hiding money..and treating you abusively. I don't think it sounds like the best environment to ... (read in full...)

Q.   been with my boyfriend 4 years, and in the last 6 months or so have discovered it is mainly me that initiates sex, as soon as i touch him sexually or kiss him passionately he gets an errection so there is no problem with attraction (i dont think), ...

A.   1 July 2008: It sounds like he has lost his sex drive - especially if he used to be quite forward sexually. Lots of things can cause a low sex drive, perhaps you should try to find out whether he has experienced any emotional problems over the last 6 months ... (read in full...)

Q.   Hey... So there's this guy at my work who I have a bit of a soft spot for and last year he would always sort of flirt with everyone in the office (although he is married) and he flirted with me last year too. And that was after my "friend" went and...
