His temper is threatening to spoil this relationship!!

Q.   I'm so stuck with this. I don't know if I'm being over picky or if I'm being sensible. My partner of 2 years is brilliant. No, better than that, he's incredible! We met a few years ago through mutual friends and he made it obvious he liked me but ...

A.   5 July 2014: It is so nice of you to consider this. Ask him. Don't just turn up. Brain tumours can be cured. Some Dad's think their kids are better off if they leave them alone. I don't know what his motivation is, but giving him a chance is a generous and great ... (read in full...)

My friends betrayed me when I was vulnerable

Q.   Hi everybody, I'm guessing I'm going to get a lot of opinions on this question, I'm feeling pretty rubbish about it and I understand I was irresponsible. Please don't answer my questions with insults or lectures as I've had that off my parents and ...

A.   2 July 2014: They have shown what they are. Animals. My response ranges from go to the police and press charges for assault, to lie low and make new friends. I would want to know that the pictures had been deleted at the least. Tell them your parents think the ... (read in full...)

Has anyone ever successfully rekindled with an ex?

Q.   Anybody have any success stories about getting back with an ex boyfriend or ex girlfriend? I'm talking about after a long break up. I've recently been "dating" my ex who I was with for 8 years. We broke up two years ago. He told me he never got over ...

A.   2 July 2014: Of course it can work. All you need to do is find a way of sticking together and communicating at difficult times in the future. He must have felt abandoned by you when he was ill, but you also felt that. Don't gloss over this. Depressed people are ... (read in full...)

Is this the right course for me? Disabled wife, no sex for years. Now I have a platonic female friend

Q.   I am a married man with a disabled wife, and I suffer from extreme caretaker's depression because of it. Recently I ran into a divorced lady of about my age, who used to be friend of my wife's (they turned out to be very non-compatible a...

A.   28 June 2014: Your wife may be disabled but that does not have to mean no sex. Tell her about your feelings on this matter and ask to see a sex therapist together. You can't be expected to have no sex all your life. You are supposed to be a team and if this lack ... (read in full...)

He's lost his job and now I feel like we're over. He's cold and distant. Is this relationship over?

Q.   He's lost his job and now I feel like we're over? My bf was the sweetest, caring and very attentive when he had a job. But he's lost his job 6 months now and he's just so distant and cold. He hardly calls or texts me. We argue every time w...

A.   28 June 2014: Tell him that you will be there for him when he is ready. Let him know that you understand how he feels (probably worthless) but one day the same thing might happen to you. In which case you would hope for his support, just as you offer it now. It ... (read in full...)

I feel like he's been incredibly selfish

Q.   Hi all, I would love some advice. Me and my boyfriend have been together for four and a half years. We obviously have our disagreements and bickers and I've learnt throughout the years how stubborn my boyfriend is. He can acknowledge he's...

A.   25 June 2014:  Don't "talk" before his birthday, you will likely just argue again. I think the idea of taking a short break is a good one. Tell him you want to be on your own a few days with no communication, a kind of retreat and refresh. Since you have found ... (read in full...)

Why does my ex FWB still talk sex when he says he just wants to be friends

Q.   So yesterday I called a guy out through text that i used to hook up with/have FWB's with about why he is always saying sexual things to me when we are just supposed to be friends now. He has said these things to me almost a dozen times and every ...

A.   25 June 2014: He see's you in the context of sex, not friendship, so can't be bothered to invest the effort needed to be friends. Being friends would mean a connection of sorts, plus respect. I don't think he does respect you. He might well be a sexist. Although ... (read in full...)

A.   23 June 2014: All I can use as an example is my husband's first wife. She is classically beautiful whereas I am characterful, have more qualifications and a better figure. It took me ages to feel OK and a least her equal. I do now, especially as my step daughter... (read in full...)

I've just learned that my boyfriend's parents dislike me

Q.   Why do boyfriends parents always hate me? I have had 3 serious boyfriends and the parents have always disliked me but I don't know why. An event that happened today has opened my eyes to this. My partner and I have been together 2 years, livi...

A.   22 June 2014: It is not you, it is down to your choice of man. It looks to me as though he goes complaining to his parents about you. Probably about nothing, but it has become a habit? If you can honestly say that you have done nothing to annoy them, it makes me ... (read in full...)

A.   16 June 2014: On one hand he is willing to make the huge change of emigrating. On the other not willing to change his daily working hours to better your relationship. That just does not make sense to me. He could be clear that you are his life choice; "the one... (read in full...)

Were there enough red flags on this first date to justify no second one?

Q.   So, I went on a first date with this guy tonight, and, while he was a nice enough guy (easy to talk to, interesting), there were a couple of things that seemed like red flags. We met up in an area where there were lots of restaurants in o...

What can I do to make my girlfriend feel better about herself?

Q.   I don't know what to do about my girlfriend. When we first got together she was really confident and sure of herself (maybe because she'd just lost a huge amount of weight). About six months into our relationship she got really paranoid about my ex ...
