A.   9 March 2016: Wow what a charmer, in these situations I'd say imagine you have a daughter you love very much and the situation you are in is happening to her, what would you tell her to do? Now listen to that advice and never speak to this narcissistic fool ... (read in full...)

Is this a healthy relationship? Should I stop texting? Is he using me?

Q.   Hi, me and my boyfriend met on Facebook,we've met 5 times and have been going out for two weeks. We used to text all the time, almost 24\7. Now I'm fed up and every time he texts me I ignore it and reply an hour later. It makes me sad to think th...

A.   9 March 2016: First after being together for just two weeks he wants to do sexual things with you and your age is between 13 and 15? You're quite young and I think you need to learn about the word "Respect". A boy should like you for you not about sexual favours ... (read in full...)

Q.   Is there one person you've never got over? When I was in my early 20s I had a brief (2 year) relationship with a man. He was the first man to ever treat me properly and he was the perfect gentleman - for the first 18 months at least! The last ...

A.   15 April 2014: You are living in the illusion of what if. He sounds like a lovely man just feel lucky you were once his but the cosmos decided he wasn't to be. If you do see him acknowledge him with a smile and a nod of the head and feel fortunate you found who ... (read in full...)

A.   1 March 2014: Don't say a word you'll end up as sounding bitter and a moaner. You know the truth and probably so does your friend. The fact the woman wrote about it on facebook saying it put a downside to a great evening shows how childish she is. Keep your chin ... (read in full...)

Q.   Will he be different with her? My husband and I divorced mainly because he was very emotionally/verbally abusive and he walked out. We have a child together-so I try to maintain a civil relationship with him because of that. He has a girlfr...

A.   26 February 2014: Leopards rarely change their spots. I was with a guy for 7 years and he was turning into an alcholic, abusive cheater. I gained some self respect and left and completely turned my life to be better. He reeled one of his conquests in got engaged and ... (read in full...)

A.   18 February 2014: If he has a new girlfriend he's hardly pining for you. Move on he has, get rid of the photos and letters and meet a person who would be more than happy to marry you. If you can do that it'll be the sweetest revenge. ... (read in full...)

Q.   I live with my boyfriend of 5 years and have always trusted him but have been noticing recently that he acts sneaky with his phone and laptop. If I come into the room he will swipe everything off his page so that I can't see he also always makes ...

A.   18 February 2014: I'd get a new hairstyle, a new wardrobe and start getting a life with my friends. Then he'll be back at you. The problem is your relationship has become stagnant and you do nothing exciting. He has clearly started to get a social life without you so ... (read in full...)

A.   17 February 2014: I'd ask him straight out what he thinks of you. If you carry on the way you do you're going to read into it too much and might get hurt if this other girl is a potential girl friend. Getting with his frienemy? Well at least he knows other people are ... (read in full...)

A.   2 July 2013: It's obvious to see that you have now taken the role as nurse and housemaid. I think the fact that you are going through a tough time is more than normal you are stressed and feeling unappreciated. He is very lucky to have you in his life at this ... (read in full...)

Boyfriend took pictures of women on his cell phone. What should I do?

Q.   I needed my boyfriends cell phone to make a call. On his cell was a picture of a woman in a bikini. I remembered her because we went to a local beach the other day and she was sleeping on a lounge chair next to my boyfriend. I was on a lounge ...

A.   30 June 2013: He's immature and not behaving in respect to you or the other ladies on the beach. A friend of mine left her husband because he could never stop looking at other women and would strain his head sometimes to look at them in front of her! Tell him ... (read in full...)

Q.   Hi everyone, just hoping for a bit of advice on this one. Was dating a guy a few months back, who I got on really well with. He was quite hard to read at first, I wasn't sure whether he liked me as he would often look kind of awkward in my company, ...

A.   30 June 2013: I think this guy is insecure and not sure with himself. If the alarm bells are going off now pull out honey. Obviously you aren't happy with his weirdness and I don't think that's going to change as the relationship progresses. Tell him you thin... (read in full...)

Do you think we could ever be friends?

A.   30 June 2013: As you finished the relationship you have to see that he needs time to heal. Whenever you call (even if it is still to be friends) he's going to hope that there is a chance you'll get back together. Of course you go on well at the start he was tryi... (read in full...)

A.   27 October 2011: I agree that you are trying to fill an empty spot in your life. You are only 18 and there is so much out there in life to love and enjoy and experience before you take on the challenge of motherhood. Your partner has expressed he isn't ready for a ... (read in full...)

I have family issues, no close friends and have never had a boyfriend. What's wrong with me?

My new boyfriend seems to have stopped being attentive

Q.   I met this guy at a 21st a month ago, I really liked him from the moment I saw him and when we hooked up I knew that I had to see him the next day. I don't get this feeling with everyone so I was delighted to find someone that I actually really ...

A.   27 August 2011: Maybe he feels the relationship is going to quickly to soon and he wants a little space. Guys aren't like us who respond to every text as soon as we get one. If I was you I'd not contact him for a few days and see if he quickly starts to ring you... (read in full...)

Q.   What should I do with my life? I feel I have a boyfriend who doesn't deserve me. He has cheated on me with many women but I still gave him a chance, but he continues to treat me very badly and I just cannot pucker up the courage to break up. What...

A.   27 August 2011: You said it yourself he doesn't deserve you. I'm in the same situation and I'm realising that if he really loved me he wouldn't cheat on me and treat me badly. Everytime I take him back I'm basically saying I forgive you and I allow you to do it ... (read in full...)

My old friend from school turns our conversations sexual. What does he want from me?

Q.   I'll really try to make this short. I have an old friend from high school (we are now in college) who has recently given me his number via facebook so we can talk and catch up. Lately we've been texting and the very first day we talked a lot about ...

A.   27 August 2011: I think he's not being very respective of you if he turns his conversation to sex. As you say you are a virgin it may seem like a conquest for him to take it. I seriously think this guy is a player and being in the military is an overboost of ... (read in full...)
