I love to help people.I give great advice for others but awful advice for myself.I've been through a lot and consider life a wonderful journey full of ups and down. I believe I am wise through my years of traveling and seeing the world.I would like to help out anyway that I can because I think that is the reason we are here. To help each other.

A.   31 August 2008: I am going throught the same thing as you. I believe the thing we need to do is discover ourselves again. Find out what makes us happy besides having a man in our lives. Start taking classes, volunteer, go to the gym. The key is to keep busy and ... (read in full...)

A.   23 August 2008: I think you are doing the right thing. It's very hard to be FWB when you have feelings for someone. And for a guy..once you are FWB..they don't see you as girlfriend potential. I say give it some space..even though it's sooo hard. Let him think it... (read in full...)

A.   17 August 2008: Wow! you got yourself in deep trouble. And you are still so young. Common sense would tell you to put on a condom if you are cheating on your partner. You need to sit down and discuss this with your married lover. Are you both going to leave yo... (read in full...)
