Karma does happen:
My dad was a married woman's other guy for only a few weeks (about a decade before my mum met him), then realised he wasn't okay with helping her betray her husband. His friend became her other guy, husband came home while they were at it, the guy jumped out of the window and the husband knew, so grabbed a bicycle, chased him and punched him once, going 20mph, so it knocked him out. A couple of relationships later, after getting £15,000 in debt to help a woman leave her abusive husband and getting in a relationship with her, my dad came back from a holiday with his parents and found her with another guy. |

I am at the end of desperation with my relationship problem.
Q. I am a married man and I got involved with this super nice girl at work. I love her slightly more than my wife but I can't leave my marriage because of my children. I wanted to leave my wife until my children confronted me and I had no choice. When ...
A. 11 May 2017: You don't deserve "closure"; you caused the heartache.
Your wife is hurt. You owe her.
Your kids know you betrayed their mum. You need to make it up to your family.
You *have* to realise the lady was *never* your "girlfriend". Married me... (read in full...)
15 yr old Daughter completely cut me out of her life without even a hint why.
Q. Need some advice from the aunts, I hate these problems that you have to try and squeeze into a box, cause there's so much more to it, but I couldn't possibly address it in its entirety but leaving anything out u may not get the whole gist of it, so ...
A. 10 May 2017: A 15 year old is old enough to know why her father has been so unreliable. Heck, a 13 year old deserves to know. You wanted to keep it from her until she's older, but she isn't stupid or too young to notice.
Her mother has a very good reason t... (read in full...)
Is it normal for men to have sex when women are having their periods?
Q. I'm meeting up with my bf next month who stays in another city. The problem is that the date when I will be going, I might be on my periods. I've told him that already to which he has said that he's fine with it. What can this possibly mean? Is he ...
A. 27 April 2017: Some do, some don't. Unless he's excited about it, I wouldn't say it's a preference of his.
Personally, I'd feel gross if I was intimate with a guy while I was on my period, but some don't care.
If you don't want to, don't. If you do, you can ... (read in full...)

A. 27 April 2017: Stop acting like you're the victim. YOU CAUSED THIS! Of course your wife went crazy and your kids confronted you.

A. 26 April 2017: He's interested in other girls too, so even if he doesn't *want* to hurt you, he already is by flirting with other girls.
If you go anywhere in private, it suggests you want to go further than just a kiss and he will try to. Do not be alone wi... (read in full...)
I need to tell him I only want casual sex, not a relationship!
Q. I met this guy on a dating app and we have been on two dates so far. I don't think he and I are compatible but he's very nice and good-looking. I cannot see a long-term relationship forming from this AT ALL, but would like to turn it into FWB if it ...
A. 25 April 2017: You don't need a guy to tell you that most are happy with women making the first move.
If you don't see it going anywhere, you need to tell him *before* another date. There's no point dating him if you just want to turn it into a FWB situatio... (read in full...)

How does one stop being so desperate for a man?
Q. How does one stop being so desperate for a man? I realize and this is the lesson (hard learned) that me and most of my gf are desperate for men- so much that sadly we do a lot and get nothing out of relationships- I did a lot for my ex and out of ...
A. 23 April 2017: Please seek therapy and find things that enrich your life. Volunteer. Get a new hobby. Travel. Pining after men means your life isn't full enough for you to be happy otherwise. It's perfectly okay to *want* a partner, but to be obsessed or d... (read in full...)

Q. I'm completely puzzled as to why but my ex boyfriend has just this week gone and got my name tattooed onto the back of his neck and I'm worried he now thinks we are back together after I have been talking to him about the reason I left him. We wer...
A. 23 April 2017: I think you've unintentionally given him false hope and he's refusing to accept that it's over for good.
There's no in between with him - you have to cut *all* contact and tell him it's over permanently. Don't talk, don't explain, just ignore a... (read in full...)
He's going to prison for 10 years and I don't want to wait for him. Is that wrong?
Q. This is a really unique situation, I'm sure. So my fiance is going to be in prison for the next ten years. I've been with him 3 years. Is it bad for me to not want to wait for him?..I'm only in my mid 20s, and I don't want to put the rest of my ...
A. 22 April 2017: He must have done something pretty bad to go to prison for a decade - it's wise that you break up with him because he's not a good person for anyone to be around, right now.

A. 22 April 2017: You need to get a divorce and be single. You don't need to be married to be a good father and you're not being a good husband or boyfriend because you refuse to choose.

Why do girls do things that make them unapproachable and rude?
Q. Why do girls always have to be glued to each other or have their noses in their phones or in a book? Don't they realize that makes them unapproachable and that it's just plain rude? Also, they do the same things on dates too and act rudely just to ...
A. 21 April 2017: You're taking it personally, when it's not. Women who are busy reading or on their phone are doing so to avoid being approached and having to reject someone. That's not rude; it's a clear sign that they want peace. It is rude to do it on a date,... (read in full...)

A. 20 April 2017: He's a married man and you're his mistress - with or without sex, you're not a "slut", but it's not surprising he treats you like one.
You can stay away, but you're choosing not to. You may find it easy to be charmed by older men, but that doe... (read in full...)
