My boyfriend says he is 50% happy with me but I don't satisfy him sexually like his ex did. Should I have a threesome with them to make him happy?

Q.   I purposed an idea to my boyfriend a couple of days ago. The idea having a threesome with him and his ex. Sounds bizarre, good thing I slept on it and really thought about how it will impact the relationship and everyone involved lives. Question ...

A.   19 December 2012: What an absolute joke of a man. The second you read this I would pick up my bag and run for the hills. From all the qualities you've mentioned, you honey deserve SO much more than this. Tell his ex she's welcome to the waster! ... (read in full...)

A.   18 December 2012: Obviously I don't know exactly why you kept responding but I would hazard a guess that you enjoyed the attention you were receiving from him - otherwise you wouldn't have reciprocated the flirting. Ignoring someone just does not work - as well ... (read in full...)

If he really loves me and wants to marry me, then why does he keep joining dating sites?

Q.   I have been with my boyfriend for 5 years. The last 2 have gotten rather bumpy because he keeps talking to girls on dating sites. He has asked me to marry him but because he lies to me about his dating sites it makes me too afraid to marry ...

Girlfriend pressured me to throw out all things from my past but she lied and didn't do the same!

Q.   After 6 months I bowed to constant pressure and threw away all my old photos, holiday photos the lot (except the ones of my son). My girlfriend was adamant that they belonged in the past, was nothing to do with "us" and told me she had thrown all ...

A.   9 December 2012: Majorly double standards that she didn't get rid off anything but told you she had. Judging by the age bracket on your answer you had quite a lot of life before you met her and deleting your photos won't take that away. Im really sorry you won'... (read in full...)

A.   5 December 2012: When you have never experienced feelings like that before - you will cling to the memory of them whilst ignoring how bad you are feeling. Also I know that sometimes you know that you deserve better than this person but can't actually find the... (read in full...)
