It's a classic case of being in a relationship, but liking someone else

Q.   It's a classic case of being in a relationship, but liking someone else. It all started nearly a year and a half ago now, I realised I liked one of my best male friends, let's call him Tom. We became quite close and talked a lot and the feelings...

A.   12 June 2007: There's a classic solution to your classic problem. Be single for a while. It won't hurt you to just be single. Don't date. Just hang out with good friends, and make new friends. Focus on the important part of developing yourself and your stu... (read in full...)

How do I know if I am falling out of love? I don't know if I still love him.

Q.   I'm a 26 year old female and I thought I met the man of my dreams. How do I know if I am falling out of love? I don't know if I still love him. I want him to be "the one" more than any man I've ever dated. How do I know if he's the right one? I'm ...

A.   12 June 2007: I see two possibilities: 1) You don't love him anymore. 2) You love him, but severely misunderstand what love is and can't recognize it even when it is right in front of you. We can't really help you discover which of the two is your problem,... (read in full...)

She called me weak and said I grovelled. Then she said she was joking! I broke up w/ her - is this what she really wanted?

Q.   Sorry for posting this again but I'd hoped to get a better response. I'm struggling to get over this and maybe someone out there can help me out. I need to know if I was wrong here. I went out with a girl for 6 months, during the first 3-4, s...

A.   31 May 2007: Some women are just downright strange. They believe men should be more assertive to the point of abuse. Don't feel bad or even confused over this. Just be glad you aren't the kind of man that she wanted you to be, because that way lies darkness... (read in full...)

A.   28 May 2007: I think your problem is one that quite a few men have. It is the inability to really get into sex without enough emotional engagement to make you believe that what you're doing is the right thing. Don't force yourself to have sex just because ... (read in full...)

A.   26 May 2007: Okay, your baby doesn't need to know his biological father. What your baby will need is a father figure, who loves him/her. If you want to accomplish something good in your life, give the baby all your love, and live your life in a manner that whe... (read in full...)

Married for three years and tempted to stray with my co-worker... Help!

A.   26 May 2007: Temptation to stray is normal. As people we are of two minds. We are both a creature of mind and animal. What you're feeling are the baser instincts of your animal half. Women accuse men of only listening to our primal instincts, but women ar... (read in full...)

A.   25 May 2007: Probably best to nip this in the bud. Continuing down this path may be detrimental to your marriage. Are you in need of more friends? If so, there are other people who would probably pose less of a danger than an old flame. Of course, maybe I'... (read in full...)

A.   25 May 2007: Generally speaking you have to keep them apart. Do not discuss your "guy friend" with your "boyfriend" and vice versa. Neither of them probably want to hear about the other. Your boyfriend is just going to have to trust you. If he can't, it may... (read in full...)

A.   25 May 2007: Well, you're right. You're only 14. But perhaps writing him a letter, even a long letter, telling him why you broke up with him won't hurt. Just be very clear that the letter isn't an invitation necessarily to get back together, but just that one... (read in full...)

A.   25 May 2007: Just break it off. If you really want to do this, you can do it. I'm going to tell you why you should be angry at him. He isn't going to leave his wife to be with you. To him, you're the side dish. In fact, having you in his life has probabl... (read in full...)

A.   25 May 2007: Nothing wrong with being friends, as long as you both agree to keep it platonic. This must be explicitly stated and agreed to. You have to be prepared for the fact that given time she'll probably eventually move on and find another boyfrien... (read in full...)

Q.   I have shaped my personality in to being a person, a part of which people in my family and some members in society have rejected or find it inappropriate for the fear of being criticized, abused, etc. But i am quite confident in the way i am and ...

A.   25 May 2007: I wouldn't say it is normal, but I wouldn't say it is uncommon. What many couples forget to do is set boundaries. The "Do's" and "Do Not's". Explain to him that without your consent it is rape. There are some women who may like being woken up l... (read in full...)
