I am livid at his actions and beset with Insecurity and Jealousy!! Need some advice please!!
Q. Okay - I don't really even know where to start. My boyfriend and I are both in our early-mid 30s and have been together almost 3 1/2 years. Overall things have been well but we've had some rough spots here and there. Anyway, for most of ou...
A. 4 March 2014: Ok, so the woman looks like your husband's type, but is your husband her type? I think the most reasonable thing for you to do, before you get completely eaten up by jealousy is get to know this couple. You might find that you really like this woman ... (read in full...)

A. 3 March 2014: It's still early days yet, you're still a newby and not yet part of the group. This will only come with time, once they suss you out and get to know you. I'd recommend sticking it out a little longer if you can. Keep being friendly, but really ... (read in full...)
How much is too much in weekends away with friends?
Q. Can anyone help me as a married girl of 32 decide where to draw the line on whats acceptable in marriage in regards to weekends away with friends. My partner has always been selfish and spent new year with his mates in edinburgh. I was working so ...
A. 3 March 2014: I can see your dilemma but what I'm wondering is how often he's going off to see his mates, is it only once a year at New Years, or is it like every weekend? If it's a regular weekend occurrence then I'd be pretty peeved too, but a once a year thing ... (read in full...)

A. 3 March 2014: I notice that you're from the Philippines, so leaving is probably not as straightforward as it might be in a Western country. Are there jobs where you are? Would you have someone to mind the children if you were able to get work? Where would you ... (read in full...)
How do I get over losing my best friend? He's rejected me and moved on.
Q. I don’t know how to deal with the rejection of my best friend. He and I were best friends from 13 until 22. I have always been a good friend to him, been there for him, run to him when he has needed me, and even when he has closed the door on me wh...
A. 3 March 2014: It's really hurtful when long time friends do that, huh? I've had the same thing happen to me recently, when a male friend I'd had since my teens got a girlfriend and shut me completely out of his life. I don't think there's any way to get around it ... (read in full...)
S true love real or do you think people generally 'settle' with a nice partner?
Q. Hi everyone, I have posted about this previously but I'm still in the same predicament. Basically, I am currently dating a lovely guy but I'm really unsure of my feelings for him. We met online but decided to be friends (he was keen, I didn't feel ...
A. 3 March 2014: He's not exciting enough, is that it? You wouldn't be the first woman to be attracted to bad boys and you won't be the last. Why do we like them so much? Maybe because they're exciting and daring and bad, and we feel we can change them enough so ... (read in full...)

A. 3 March 2014: It can take a long time to trust again after something like that happens and in some cases, the cheated on partner might never get completely over it or perhaps later down the line feel that cheating on the cheater is justified. I know it hurts to ... (read in full...)

A. 3 March 2014: You're in a difficult situation here, because you work with this other girl and can't distance yourself from her. No doubt there is a degree of friendliness and flirting at work and you feel her attraction is mutual. If the option of transfer to a ... (read in full...)
I always think the worst, even when things are great!
Q. I've known my boyfriend for over seven years, but have only been dating him for a little less than a year. I love him dearly. However, he lives in Europe. I'm American. We visit as much as possible, but it's expensive. We've talked about vis...
A. 3 March 2014: They say that distance makes the heart grow fonder. How true. You're not seeing the person every day or growing tired of their quirks. Aunty Babbit's suggestion of spending a few months together getting to know one another is a very valid idea. That ... (read in full...)
Am I being stupid, in that this really upset me and made me question my Bf's character?
Q. Hello aunts. I'd like some opinions on a disagreement I had with my boyfriend the other day. He lives next door to an elderly man and they both hate each other. This has been going on for years, and if I'm perfectly honest they are both as ...
A. 2 March 2014: What your boyfriend said was probably said in the heat of the moment and I doubt he really meant it (let's hope he didn't anyway). We all say things we don't necessarily mean when someone riles us. You know what I think? I think your boyfriend and ... (read in full...)
Should I make the move and give him my number or just ignore him?
Q. We've been in touch on Facebook for nearly 3 months. We've had loads of different conversations, some serious, emotional and fun. After so much talking we finally met up for the evening. And he was a lovely guy, although he is 34 and I am 25, he was ...
A. 2 March 2014: I don't get why some women need the man to make all the moves. I see so many of my lady friends missing out on opportunities that could have been taken if they'd just been a bit more forthright and asked the man out themselves. I know it's great to ... (read in full...)

Q. My husband got a lot of female friends that called him at least 5 times a day for advice and to talk, he told me to talked to them cause they are nice and he wants us to be friends too but when I tried to reach out for them (add them on Facebook) ...
A. 2 March 2014: This is ringing alarm bells for me. First of all, what are these other women's motives? Are they married or single and secondly why are they calling a married man? I cringe to mention this, but would your husband mind if you read through his FB ... (read in full...)
