Is my Bf's outlook on ever or never having children normal?

Q.   So my boyfriend loves kids, and he's so cute playing with them etc. however we've talked and he's on the fence about actually having kids. He's absolutely fine with having them if I want em but he just can't see where people find the time for it. ...

A.   27 May 2014: His thoughts on children are normal for anyone, man or woman. You don't have to be committed to one view or another here. It's perfectly normal for a person to be good with kids but not be interested in having any of their own. It's also possible... (read in full...)

A.   25 May 2014: He's married and she is his wife. Wanting to know where you are and who you talk to is not out of any deep love for you, but because his view of women is proprietary. You're HIS piece on the side and the other woman is HIS wife. I don't share my... (read in full...)

The ex stayed with the family for the funeral so why not me?

Q.   Hi So I am after some opinions as to whether I am over analysing things and being silly or if I am right to feel upset. I am new to this site and so am expecting there may be some readers who will judge me pretty harshly but that's ok, maybe I dese...

A.   25 May 2014: The ex wife didn't force herself on the family. She came to pay her respects and to allow their young daughter to do the same. They might not like much about her, but I think everyone behaved appropriately here. To turf her out would have been in ... (read in full...)

A.   24 May 2014: I agree. Whatever hope you're reading into whatever hasn't been said notwithstanding, he's made it very clear that the relationship is over. He doesn't say more than he already because he doesn't want to be the bad guy and/or hurt you further... (read in full...)

I drunk-dialed him, HUGE mistake. How do I get over that?

Q.   I'd been kind of seeing a guy for about the last six months. Nothing serious, just a lot of chatting and the occasional hookup. The problem is, I REALLY like him and I was beginning to get frustrated with him not seeming to want to commit. Last week ...

A.   24 May 2014: The quicker you get over this the more 'not a big deal' it becomes and the more likely you are to repeat this mistake except next time it might be with someone who really does matter. This guy was obviously quite content with chatting and the ... (read in full...)

A.   24 May 2014: I think your association with this colleague far exceeded the bounds of friendship so I agree that you should accept that it's over and just be professional, but pleasant with the woman. It's best you not discuss marital issues with female f... (read in full...)

A.   24 May 2014: I'm not so hung up on the lie as I figure people will reveal what they feel safe in revealing when they feel safe in revealing it. I also understand that we have all done things that we're not proud of, even things that most would consider so unlike ... (read in full...)

I don't want to be unkind, but really the relationship is over

Q.   hi, I've been seeing my bf for 4 years, we've been very close over the years, although not particularly intimate as he wouldn't stay over very often. because of this, when he wanted to move in last year I wouldn't let him until intimacy improved but ...

A.   24 May 2014: I agree with WiseOwlE and Honeypie. The issues in this relationship pre-date his loss and the only contact you have with him is when he comes by to ride one of his bikes. It's over, so make it official so you can move on. Your home is not a st... (read in full...)

Q.   Hi everyone I've had a girlfriend for nearly two years now. I love her and during these 2 years it has always been me who put in the majority of the effort. It's long distance which doesn't help, but she sacrificed very little for us whereas I did...

A.   20 May 2014: I don't think there is any point for a couple of reasons, to be honest. What pivotal piece of information do you think is going to reveal itself during the coming months and the next visit that hasn't already been revealed in the past 2 years? W... (read in full...)

Is he pushing too soon to have a relationship with me?

Q.   Dear Cupid Member I have a question? Do you think a guy is pushing a relationship with you too soon if after exchanging emails and just talking once on the Phone he already told me that He wants to be my Boyfriend? I met him online in one of...

A.   20 May 2014: The short answer is yes, he is moving way too fast. The question is why? He might be needy and desperate, a nester, or he could be seeking access to the US, or some kind of financial gain. We just don't know and while 'verifying' his identity... (read in full...)

A.   14 May 2014: The bottom line here is your boyfriend is a medical professional and this woman is his patient which makes her off limits in ANY personal capacity. Far from being firm, he`s been foot loose and fancy free with the boundaries, beginning with sha... (read in full...)

A.   14 May 2014: For God's sake leave this one alone and move on. This manifestation you're seeing was always there. You just never had a reason to see it before because everything was going so well. I daresay her husband has seen it countless times. I under... (read in full...)

A.   13 May 2014: I.m sorry this one didn't work out, but I think this is probably for the best, as you say. Trusting men is only half the equation, OP. Ultimately it's YOU you have to be able to trust in to make good decisions regardless of what happens around y... (read in full...)

A.   12 May 2014: Given the way things ended, you're fine to ignore any future correspondence from her. In fact it might be a wise idea if your feelings for her, by then, haven't abated to the point that you can have a simple 'good bye' conversation without resuming ... (read in full...)

A.   12 May 2014: Anyone who has eyeballs in their head and can see is a visual creature, OP. Men don't get a wider latitude to indulge their baser instincts. Like you, I find this off putting and having been that 15 year old girl myself once upon a time (before ... (read in full...)

Why does my boyfriend watch chubby porn but not fancy chubby women in real life?

Q.   I'm slim, my boyfriend tells me I'm sexy and he loves my body often. But I am slim and my breasts are an A to a B cup. I have a nice bum. However my boyfriend always looks at BBW porn. Not very big girls but chubby with big boobs. It's his go to ...

A.   9 May 2014: There is a big difference between being horny and romantic/sexual attraction. The BBW in the porn he watches are tools he uses to achieve orgasm and once he's climaxed he can put those women back on the shelf where he won't think about them aga... (read in full...)

Will I be limiting my chances of having a Boyfriend considering that I don't like giving blow jobs?

Q.   Will I have limited boyfriend chances unless I give blow jobs?? I don't mind hand jobs, but I'm not a person who feels comfortable with the idea of a penis in my mouth. I also don't particularly like the idea of a guy ejaculating on me, but I don't ...

A.   9 May 2014: Blow jobs are a treat, not a man's birthright and I think any guy who receives them should consider himself very lucky. For some men this will be a deal breaker, but for others it won't be. Just be honest, matter of fact and stick to your lim... (read in full...)

A.   9 May 2014: Then stop arguing with her about it. It's her body and if she wants to be vain and foolish that's entirely up to her. You're making her body as much your issue as you claim she's making yours hers. I daresay you having the procedure is not THE ... (read in full...)

A.   6 May 2014: Her divorce is not final and as SVC points out everything she does (and anyone she's involved with) will be under a microscope. You should NOT be sleeping over. not just for the kids' sake, but for hers and for yours. The kids need whatever... (read in full...)

A.   6 May 2014: Supporting the family while you attended graduate school does not give him a free pass to behave badly the rest of the time. You'd have done the same for him had the shoe been on the other foot. You can be grateful to him, but keep it in perspect... (read in full...)

Should I ask him why he exaggerated the length of time he was single and why he led me to believe he's been living by himself?

Q.   I'll try to keep this short Basically I met, dated and fell for this amazing man roughly two months ago. Never have I connected so well with someone, shared so many likes and tastes with, which he reciprocates. During this time frame we've got ...

A.   6 May 2014: I don't see the point in asking him why he lied. That's like asking a four year old why they scribbled on the wall with crayons. You're not going to get a reasonable answer. All you'll get is more lies/excuses or 'I don't know'. And really t... (read in full...)

A.   4 May 2014: There is nothing wrong with him wanting to go out with a friend. Being a couple doesn't mean you should spend all your free time together. The fact that he lied about it suggests to me that the only way he thinks he can have some time on his own ... (read in full...)

A.   4 May 2014: I'll echo the others in saying you came across as very clingy and insecure. The comment about sharing a hotel room with two beautiful women was a joke and should have been treated as such. This relationship is very, very new and you're inves... (read in full...)

My B/f doesn't want to get married because he doesn't want to support me with medical bills and marrying me will have a bad effect on his retirement fee

Q.   My boyfriend of 4 years told me that he doesn't want to get married anymore.. And his reasons are very selfish in my opinion. He said he doesn't want to support me with medical bills, or that marrying me will have a bad effect on his retirement fee. ...

A.   2 May 2014: I'm going to go a little against the grain here and say I don't blame him. Voluntarily helping you out here and there is one thing, but assuming legal responsibility for your debt is a whole other kettle of fish. If you can't pay those bills who do ... (read in full...)

A.   2 May 2014: SVC made a good point. When I answered I assumed you were considering volunteering this out of the blue. If so, then definitely not. If he's asking about your past then I would NOT lie, but decline to answer with something like 'I don't discuss ... (read in full...)

Q.   I was involved in a once only threesome with my ex bf and another girl. Deeply regretted. Should I tell the man I married later? He has had premarital sex but not of this kind....

A.   2 May 2014: Absolutely not. For one thing, it's none of his business and for another you would only cause him unnecessary grief which you'll end up paying the price for. You have some regrets. We all do, that doesn't mean we must declare them all for som... (read in full...)

My friends tell me I should give my boyfriend a BJ

Q.   A lot of my friends are wanting me to give my boyfriend a blowjob, and he agreed to wanting me too when i asked. But i feel like we are kind of young for this to be happening. My friends said it was okay because we have been dating for 6 months, but ...

A.   2 May 2014: You have plenty of years of blow jobs ahead of you. Don't be in any hurry to rush it. Ignore your friends on this one and consider not discussing sexual matters with them. The less you talk about it with them, the fewer silly opinions they'll ... (read in full...)

I don't want to seem weak when I end it

Q.   I've been casually seeing a guy for about 6 months and I think for my own sanity I need to end it. He's probably the most rude and arrogant person I've met and he makes me feel worthless with the way he speaks to me. Now do I tell him that's ...

A.   1 May 2014: Whatever you do don't say his behaviour hurt or upset you or that you felt worthless because that will definitely sound weak. Without getting roped into an in depth discussion simply say his behaviour is off putting and you've had enough. Be calm ... (read in full...)
