My uncle stepped in after my father passed away. Would it be appropriate to ask him to walk me down the aisle when I marry?

Q.   When I was 10 years old, my father passed away. My uncle (my dad's brother) stepped up to the plate and helped my mom, my brother and I out. My uncle was single with no kids of his own and he always spent time with my brother and I, even before my ...

A.   23 March 2021: Absolutely yes. Your uncle has no biological children of his own but has been a father figure to you and your brother since his brother died, effectively helping to raise you both. I am sure he will consider it an honor and be delighted to walk you ... (read in full...)

A.   20 March 2021: Why has this ex suddenly reappeared in your fiancee's life? Where was she all the years between them finishing their relationship and now, 15+ years later? She obviously managed quite well without her for all that time so that would be my first ... (read in full...)

A.   20 March 2021: I think you need to take the good out of this encounter and use it to move forward with your life. I believe people often come into our lives to serve a specific need. In your case, this man came into your life to support you for a short while and ... (read in full...)

My ex lover wants me to send back the vibrator he gave me as a present

Q.   This is a pretty bizarre and embarrassing question, but I need someone to tell me what I should do. I dated a guy for just over a couple of months, and it was pretty intense fairly fast (this was when the pubs and bars were still open). He got me...

A.   19 March 2021: I can completely understand why you don't want to send this particular toy back and totally agree with you that his request is creepy in the extreme. In your shoes I would handle this one of two ways: either smash up the toy and send him a pictur... (read in full...)

A.   17 March 2021: My faith in the police has been eroded over many years of negative personal experience. In the UK at the moment, the police seem to have unlimited resources to arrest someone for visiting an elderly vulnerable relative but claim they don't have ... (read in full...)

Q.   Hi everyone. I am in need of some advice on how to move forward in my situation. I have been with my partner for 9 years. We split up two months ago because over the past year we have been in lockdown together (both working from home) and over t...

A.   16 March 2021: In a nutshell: (1) I doubt he has a new girlfriend and (2) he tells you he is not sure what will happen to you as a couple because he genuinely hasn't worked out yet what is best for him. It is quite difficult to go "cold turkey" from a 9 year r... (read in full...)

A.   14 March 2021: You have to decide, once and for all, whether you trust her or not. If you do, then you have to stop going through everything she says with a fine tooth comb, trying to catch her out on a lie. If you DON'T trust her, why are you still with her? You ... (read in full...)

A.   13 March 2021: I can understand this has knocked your self esteem and your faith in your own judgement. However, that is no reason to involve this man's wife and to hurt her. She is not the one who has caused your upset. Telling her will not make you feel better ... (read in full...)

A.   9 March 2021: Sorry but I had to laugh at the part where you wrote that he couldn't go back to his parents because he classes himself as an "independent man". On what planet is this man-child independent? You are supporting him and yourself while he lounges ... (read in full...)

A.   6 March 2021: I think Code Warrior has nailed it in his reply to you. This is not the mother you have known all your life; this is the mother whose brain is slowly starting to malfunction. It is pointless trying to reason with her because she is no longer capable ... (read in full...)

A.   6 March 2021: You strike me as having a very "male" attitude towards sex. By that I mean that women usually need to feel loved to want sex while men tend to need sex to feel loved. You have the latter outlook. Despite having a husband who is respectful, ... (read in full...)
