A.   11 February 2010: That's understandable. Talk to your boyfriend. If he's got that much passion for you that's great, talk through it so you can find a safe fun way to channel all that wonderful passion in a way you can both enjoy. Good luck darling and if you feel ... (read in full...)

I'm sick of my wife being lazy and doing nothing! I deserve better, don't I?

Q.   Right, I'll try to keep this short and to the point. I have been married for 10 years (together with my wife for 13 years), all in all we've had a pretty good marriage so far and I was pretty content. Until our new neighbours moved in. Now...

A.   11 February 2010: That sounds like a great plan. What's even more heartwarming is after all the really heartbreaking hopeless situations headed for disaster you read about on here... this was one where people really were able to help you see some light, find some ... (read in full...)

A.   10 February 2010: Hmmm. I hate to say it but most women who have ambitions and aspirations in life don't let children slow them down. Sounds like your wife is maybe a bit bored or depressed. They say you can't change other people. But maybe you at least owe your wife ... (read in full...)

Is he keeping these past 'sex texts' as a trophy or something to get off with?

Q.   About 6 months ago I found very explicit sex texts on my husband's phone. The texts were between him and his (female) boss. I filed for divorce (because of this and his controlling/bullying behavior)but put the proceedings on hold because I was ...

A.   10 February 2010: Clearly something inappropriate was going on with his boss. You would think that if he bothered to get a new phone he'd get rid of the old one. Keeping it indicates some sort of sentiment for those messages. I mean the tough part is it's not like he ... (read in full...)

A.   10 February 2010: Sounds hot! lol No seriously, I think maybe your guy was just really really horny and unfortunately you weren't. He had all that passion and hormones coursing through him. You live together so I assume you are sexual? Has it been a while since you ... (read in full...)

Q.   i am a male 32 yrs old and in a realationship for 6 years with a beutiful woman and i have 5 kids , 2 that are with her and i have treated her bad most of the time and i cheated on her last year and was so quick to have given up on us and now she ...

A.   10 February 2010: Angzw... wow. I know you are just trying to help but is laying out a master plan for manipulation of a good woman really the right approach? Doesn't sound very healthy (or nice) to me. 32 yo male poster -- seriously. You treated this woman ba... (read in full...)

I am not sexually compatible with my husband. How can I get him to stop being such a prude?

Q.   (Mod Note - OP's own title) I can't say how glad I am to have found this site. I am a 28yo mother of three boys. I have always been very sexual. I can remember masturbating as early as 5 or 6. My first sexual incounter was with the little girl...

A.   10 February 2010: Okay... so hold on... you say you have ALWAYS been a very sexual person, and you chose this man for a husband and had 3 children with him? So has this always been a problem between the two of you or has something changed? It could be that as ... (read in full...)

He treats me like crap, lies, and breaks up with me all the time, ... but he is a good guy at heart.

Q.   It's kind of a long story but I guess you should know everything before you can really advise me. I started dating my boyfriend in June of 2008. Now it is February 2010. In that time he has broken up with me twice and we have taken a break tw...

A.   10 February 2010: Caringguy is totally right. He said everything I was going to say. He lies, he (possibly) cheats, you know he talks to other girls, he won't commit, he won't deal with/avoids a discussion after a fight, he doesn't like your friends, your friends ... (read in full...)

Two guys that are the "love of my life": Where can I start?

Q.   (Mod Note - OP's own title) I studied abroad almost four years ago and met the man of my dreams. I had been in a bad relationship in the States and knew as soon as I met him that THAT'S what a "real" relationship was supposed to be like--he...

A.   10 February 2010: You need to make a decision, as you aren't being fair to make both men wait. The best way I've found to make a tough decision is to take the time to explore the options. Spend an entire day imagining what life would be like if you said good bye to ... (read in full...)

I am so paranoid about having my period that I don't want to leave the house, cant concentrate at school, ...I even dream about it!

Q.   Well my issue is that I feel like I'm the only girl in the world who is extremely paranoid of her period. It's always on my mind, because i'm always thinking about "well, what if i get it this day when i have to do this" and I also worry about it so ...

A.   10 February 2010: One of the best ways to deal with anxiety is to try and face your fear head on. Imagine what is the very worst thing that could possibly happen? Then ask yourself if that is really so bad, or if that is very likely that it really ever would happen? ... (read in full...)

I find myself pushing him away

Q.   I met my boyfriend through a friend a year ago and he at the time lived interstate. We emailed each other everyday and found we had similar dreams in life. We travelled back and forth about 6 times for weekends and had a lot of relaxed fun and ...

A.   10 February 2010: Hmmm. I think sometimes when people do everything for us, it's a bit of a turnoff. We lose respect for this person, because we don't really feel that we have earned all this attn and also we wonder if they maybe don't value themselves that much ... (read in full...)

A.   10 February 2010: Honey, he told you at some point he never wanted to have a GF again. Why didn't you listen to that? Your guy has commitment issues and he was honest about that. I think if you want a BF then you have to stick to your guns and be honest about th... (read in full...)

A.   10 February 2010: Hmmm. Well honey only you can find the answer to what is blocking you inside yourself. Can you try taking baby steps towards it? What if you write it on a note or in a card? Then you could give it to him. You could start trying to say it one piece ... (read in full...)

A.   10 February 2010: Aw sweetie. I'm really sorry. Big hug to you. I know it's really hard but you deserve someone who loves you and wants to be with just you. What he was doing to you was just wrong, and it would damage your self esteem over the long run if you kept ... (read in full...)

A.   10 February 2010: Possessiveness from a woman is just her way of asking for attention. She's 8 months pregnant.. try to cut her some slack. She's got hormones going crazy and she's about to have a baby... she just needs to feel secure. Women are very in tune withe ... (read in full...)

A.   7 February 2010: Oh honey. You asked him if he wanted to be left alone and he said yes? That's really not good. Turn the tables here, what would a guy have to do to get you to say that? I'd pretty much just make peace with the fact that you scared this one away... (read in full...)

A.   7 February 2010: Maybe there is some sort of psychological block? They say sex really takes place in the mind. Does he feel like he should last a long time to be a man? (most guys pride themselves on staying power) so could be so concerned about his masculinity that ... (read in full...)

Q.   I met a girl online october last year she was in my country at the time, now she is back in her home country but soon to return to mine to study and also be with me.. it has progressed to full on love from not knowing each other at all a few months ...

A.   7 February 2010: You are her online friend. That's very limited. She can be whoever she wants to be online. She can pick and choose what she tells you about what's going on with her. You say you feel shy and lack self confidence, so that may be part of the appeal ... (read in full...)

A.   7 February 2010: Sounds like you have a foot fetish :-) However, if your girl is uncomfortable then you have to respect that. No means no. That goes both ways, if she wanted to do something you didn't want to do, she would have to take no as an answer. Why n... (read in full...)

Why does he constantly pick fights with me? Will he ever change?

Q.   It seems like my bf is constantly picking fights. when we first started dating it was that he had problems with my sexual history (which isnt bad), then it was that he didnt like me talking to any guys even friends, having a facebook account, ...

A.   7 February 2010: Sweetheart, from what you've said it sounds like your man is VERY controlling. You need to watch out for that. If his "picking fights" gets you to change your behavior then thats a successful tactic and there is no reason for him to change his ways. ... (read in full...)

A.   7 February 2010: I don't really understand what you mean when you say "you don't believe in govt rights to be involved in marriage". What does that mean and why you be against it? I don't get it. What is the downside of having the govt recognize your marriage? ... (read in full...)

A.   7 February 2010: Well everyone has beat you up pretty soundly here... but that's because we are trying to get your attention about something important. I think we all know the spell you are under can be very powerful. But we don't want you to wake up from that spell ... (read in full...)

A.   6 February 2010: Scenario #4. You change gyms. You pine away for a month, then your wife has your baby and you fall in love FOR REAL. You get way too busy with your newborn to think about gym girl and you forget all about her. 6 months down the road your wife's ... (read in full...)

A.   6 February 2010: No honey, it's not complicated. It's quite simple. It's a recipe for disaster. Scenario #1. You keep going to the gym and falling for the girl. Eventually she finds out you are married, thinks you are disgusting, hates you and tells you to go to... (read in full...)

Q.   About 6 years ago on a lad's holiday I cheated on my girlfriend with a prostitute. (we had been going out for 4mths) It's the worst thing I've ever done and I instantly regretted it. I came home and confessed to her and thankfully she forgave me and ...

A.   6 February 2010: Hmmmm. Really? She got past it and you were happy together for 6 years and then suddenly she "realizes" she hasn't forgiven you? Sounds like a BS excuse to me. If your GF was wanting out, you gave her a great opportunity to walk away no questions ... (read in full...)

I have a FWB relationship with my best friend, but I want more

Q.   I'm in a FWB relationship. Now let me be honest, it isn't a casual acquaintance, he's my very best friend and we hang out almost daily, call to say goodnight, share a bed etc even when we are not having sex. Recently I've been thinking that un...

A.   6 February 2010: I know the whole FWB thing is all the rage these days, but I've never liked it. It's a cop out, and of course it's damaging your self esteem. You are being intimate physically and emotionally with a person who isn't making any commitment to you. You ... (read in full...)

A.   6 February 2010: What does "after a few drinks we pulled" mean? LOL I agree with the aunts & uncles, men change when men want to change. The irony is the biggest mansluts usually end up being the most devoted BF's once they finally do settle down. You aren't g... (read in full...)

A.   6 February 2010: He's clearly trying to get your attention. It could be what starfairy says about the ego boost. Or maybe he is trying to figure out if you hate him and make nice. Guys are weird in this way they really have a morbid fear of being "the bad guy"... if ... (read in full...)

Q.   I have been friends with a guy for about 5 years, we don't see each other all the time, probably once or twice a month, but he's almost always the one I call when I get in trouble or need someone to talk to etc. It's quite clear he would like mo...

A.   6 February 2010: Hmmm. Well this is a tough one. I have been in your shoes. I got really sick of dating and started to look at one of my best guy friends in a more appreciative way. We tried dating, but it never really got off the ground. The "wow huge spark" was ... (read in full...)

A.   6 February 2010: No sweetheart I don't think you are selfish at all. Just the opposite. You know your BF wants children and you can't give that to him so you are willing to let him go and find someone that will give that to him. I know a man who wanted children very ... (read in full...)

A.   29 January 2010: Look at this from another way. Logic tells you that if he was engaged to her, he must have had feelings for her. So if he says he didn't either he's lying - which makes you distrust him, or if he's telling the truth, that's scary because maybe if he ... (read in full...)

A.   23 January 2010: Hmmm. Well to give him the benefit of the doubt, it might be somewhere in the middle. Guys tend to live in the moment. So at the time he was with her he could have felt much more, but after they broke up this is now how he looks back on it and feels ... (read in full...)
