Hi, I have life experience and have been a high school teacher in a past life so not much surprises me. People are individuals and no two people or problems are the same - what is the new normal? Stereotypes are out, but societal values still dictate our views of the world and ourselves.

I am a people person, I can relate to just about anyone, but like anyone I have been known to be wrong (about 8 times in my life :P).

I am in a relationship with a wonderful woman but nothing is absolutely perfect (unfortunately). I'll give an honest opinion, but I also know that accepting some 'advice' can be hard to take.

Free shot: What's wrong with me? Am I a dirty secret?

Q.   We met, talked, fell in love - (happens when you're not looking for love). I was 39 (divorced, kids not with me) she was 23. I lived on the other side of the country. Long distance was a pain, but we made it work and saw each other as often as ...

A.   1 January 2011: Update: Well it's been nearly 18months since I originally posted the question and unfortunately nothing has changed. When I try to vent my frustrations, I hear "its hard for me too", and "its because you dont have the distractions (social circle) ... (read in full...)

Dad won't approve of boyfriend because of his age I know I should end things but I can't imagine life without him

Q.   Please help. For the last 4 years i have been going out with the love of my life - without my parents knowing. My dad is quite controlling about my boyfriends and career, this has resulted in my being too afraid and embarrased to take any boy home. ...

A.   10 August 2009: Hi You are not alone - Im 40 and my gf is 25 (living at home cos of studies) and the same situation. Couple of points: You can get married. You can have children together. You can be together! People fail to realise (esp those who p... (read in full...)

Q.   Hi, im not sure where to start in my head my problems are HUGE and i need advice so am hoping you can help. I have been married for 8 years my husband was faithful (i think but there have been some doubts and accusasions by my best friend of other...

A.   2 July 2009: This will hurt: 1. You've lost your husband (sad but true). 2. Never Ever return to a man who hits you. 3. Start a new life away from both of them, concentrate on your kids. There are exceptions to everything. If you really like the new guy get ... (read in full...)

I want an older boy in my life, is this a good idea?

Q.   hey x Im in pickle.. i really want a boy in my life. I want a boyfriend. I hate all the boys in my year and want to get to know new boys a bit older. How? I have made friends with a popular girl who knows boys in higher years. Is this a good id...

A.   2 July 2009: Do take heed of what has been said here. Boys pretty much only want one thing at that age - older may seem cooler to be around but what they expect in return may be more than you're ready to give. If the boys at your high school suck, then try... (read in full...)

I enjoyed my sexual encouter with a girl more than I do guys. Does this make me a lesbian?

Q.   I recently slept with a woman for the very first time...and I really loved it. It was the most erotic, sensual sex I've ever had. I easily liked it better than being with guys (which I have a good amount of experience with). So this defenitely makes ...

A.   2 July 2009: Im definately not an expert on the matter, but you were experimenting. You found you like sex with this woman better than the guys you have had. As with the other answer, ask who have you had a relationship with? This was a one-off at the moment. ... (read in full...)

Q.   Where do I begin. At the moment all I do is exist. I only have one close friend, never had a girlfriend. I sit at my computer all night because I havent got anything to do with my time. I sleep as long as possible just so I dont have to face ano...

A.   2 July 2009: You know what you want - you just need a plan and the will to make it happen. 1st - lose the computer 2nd - engage in situations/activites that require social interaction - ie sport. 3rd - you have a close friend. Go out with them to somewher... (read in full...)
