He never told me until now that he has a 6 year old!

Q.   So me and my boyfriend have been together for 3 years and I thoughtwe had a pretty solid relationship. Over the christmas period we didnt see much of each other as we both work in retail and were working silly hours. We managed to find time before ...

A.   12 January 2010: He may have just found out about her himself...? At any rate,I think his answer is acceptable. The worst thing he did was wait 3 years (if he knew about her all that time) and he may have been afraid you'd run the other way if he'd told you sooner.... (read in full...)

Why can't I compliment my wife?

Q.   MOD NOTE: 2 posts combined together. Why can't I tell my wife that she looks hot? My wife of 20 years hates it when I tell her that she looks hot!! I don't understand the difference between a come-on and a compliment. How come she thinks that I'm ...

A.   12 January 2010: You may be attracted to your wife, but I don't think she's attracted to you. Therefore your come ons (or compliments) remind her of this fact. Her reaction to you is a symptom of a much bigger picture. Take it from someone who has been there.... (read in full...)

My attraction to my wife has been lost, and now I can't get this other woman out of my thoughts.

Q.   I have been with my wife for about 9 years now and our relationship was very fulfilling until my wife had consistently put on weight. It has been an issue and she has attempted to try and loose weight but only stays motivated for a couple weeks and ...

A.   12 January 2010: You have to at least tell your wife how you really feel about her weight gain and how it's affecting your feelings for her. Part of our sexual chemistry is attraction. You don't have to disclose the affair just yet, but you do need to end it with ... (read in full...)

A.   5 January 2010: It sounds like you both agreed to see other people during the 7 months she was gone. She became involved with someone, you apparently slept your way through 7 months of different women. In my opinion neither one of you should be in an exclusive ... (read in full...)

A.   5 January 2010: Your relationship with this guy is over. Stop checking up on him, stop talking to him, stop being available when he calls. He's met someone new. For all you know, he was already seeing her behind your back and that's why he had someone so readily ... (read in full...)

A.   5 January 2010: He loves you but may not be attracted to you anymore. It could have something to do with the way you are as a woman, but more than likely after this many years of being together, he sees you more like a roommate, a sister, but not a sexual partner. ... (read in full...)

Q.   I could use a little advice. I've been married to a great woman for 15 years and I thought things were going well. But one month ago I discovered by accident that she had a secret email account. Well, after lots of back and forth, she admitted ...

A.   5 January 2010: Could it be that your wife really doesn't wish to be married anymore? There is generally a logical explanation for a woman's bad behavior and my guess is, while you may be an excellent husband she no longer loves you like that, or has lost sexual ... (read in full...)

A.   29 October 2009: He will join in. You'd be better off not to go there. It could end badly. Best to fulfill one of his other fantasies (men have endless amounts). Perhaps you could take up belly dancing lessons, or learn how to pole dance and then give him a ... (read in full...)

A.   29 October 2009: The problem isn't that you're 17 and your g/f is 15, the problem is in a very short time you will be 18 and you're g/f will still be under age. This changes everything. You can be convicted of rape because you will be considered an adult, and she ... (read in full...)

My boyfriend cheated with me on his ex!

Q.   My boyfriend cheated on me with his ex wife 2 or 3 times that I know of. He has kids with her and sometimes talks to her 4 to 5 times a day, but not when I'm around. I told him that if he has nothing to hide he would talk to her in front of me. She ...

A.   29 October 2009: She cannot deny him his rights as a parent to see his children and share custody, unless he abuses or neglects them. Then she will have to have hardcore proof or it'll never stick. If your b/f has a job, pays his bills, doesn't do drugs, doesn't ... (read in full...)

A.   29 October 2009: Why would any 21 yr old man want to date a child? That is strange to me, when you could have a woman your own age. It may be "okay" on the surface to take her out but you are going to be tempted to have sex, and once you cross that line, you're ... (read in full...)

A.   29 October 2009: Once someone develops romantic feelings for you, that you do not equally share, there is no way to end the relationship without some hurt and pain. So don't delude yourself there. But people are resilent and he will be fine. Be up front and honest. ... (read in full...)

A.   29 October 2009: If you don't really want to go to the party simply tell him you have other plans and sound cheery, so he won't think you're pissed or hurt. If you do decide to go, wear the black dress just put a black cami underneath to cover some fo the clevage ... (read in full...)

A.   14 September 2009: Considering the size of the paragraph you wrote about each man, I'd say you already know the answer to your question. Sam. One other plus is, that he claims he's grown up a bit and is ready for a relationship. If that's true, then you may very ... (read in full...)

A.   22 August 2009: I think it's too soon in the relationship for you to expect him to be faithful to you. I also think monogamous relationships only work out when both parties live in the same town. And one other tip is the fact that he's already told you he's not ... (read in full...)

A.   23 July 2009: Catholosism is dead in my opinion. People just go through the motions with no feeling or "relationship" with God. Christianity is more about building a relationship with God that is personal and lasting. But at the very least you should allow you ... (read in full...)

A.   11 June 2009: Just coming out of a divorce (or about to be divorced) I think she's weighing her options. She's probably not ready to settle into something permanent with anyone and it sounds like she has some oats to sow. Be prepared for a bumpy ride ahead. ... (read in full...)

A.   29 April 2009: I would imagine once her divorce is final all these weird games of hide-the boyfriend will go away and you can accompany anywhere she goes. This will probably go a long ways toward making you feel better.... (read in full...)
