Now that we're married I find he has habits I can't tolerate

Q.   Hi everyone, I've been feeling so unsettled since I married two years ago. Didn't live together b4 and now some things annoy me terribly. He drinks every day. I didn't realise how anxious I'd be about this. He's the kind of guy who can't have a ...

A.   23 November 2013: If you've tried talking to him about it, and still had no luck, then it's time for a professional. You may just be too different to be married, but it's best to try and work things out as best you can. I'm curious: you knee he did these thi... (read in full...)

A.   23 November 2013: I've always had a funny relationship with vibrators. On one hand, I like seeing the pleasure that they can give a woman. On the other hand when I hear the sounds women make it does make me slightly insecure as there are some things that a regular ... (read in full...)

How do I keep an older man interested?

Q.   I really like this guy who is around 8 years older than me. Hes a great guy, has all the qualities I'm looking for but IDK how to keep his interest. I feel like he's losing interest even though he says hes not he's just been a little busy with work, ...

A.   23 November 2013: Exactly what SVC said. Aside from date ideas, you really should do this on your own. If he really does lose interest it may hurt, but it really is just an issue of compatibility. For now just assume that he is busy so you don't feel insecure... (read in full...)

Q.   My ldgf was having some drinks with her female roomate and a couple of guys until 3 am at her place. is it acceptable? Here's the story: when we skyped she said she was going to bed and we were about to end our converstation when her phone rang and ...

A.   23 November 2013: It is ironic. I had a friend who was faithful to a girl who had trust issues. She used to pull evidence out of thin air that he had been cheating and give him hell for it. He loved her, so he put up with it for awhile. But one time him and I we... (read in full...)

Did I overreact to comments about my weight?

Q.   I think I might have over reacted. I was texting back and forwards with this guy I had not dated yet. Everything was going well until he made this comment ~i don't usually date girls like you, but you look decent~ when i asked him what did he mean ...

A.   21 November 2013: No, he was a dick and probably doing one of those things where he tries to make you feel bad so you'll crave his approval. Your analogy was perfect and he's just not very clever. ... (read in full...)

My instincts tell me he's not one for a FWB

Q.   Dear Aunts and Uncles I have recently started what is supposed to be a "friends with benefits" relationship with a guy who's almost 20 years older than me. He's an incredibly attractive man and we've liked each other for a few weeks and we fin...

A.   21 November 2013: It sounds like you're right. He's probably kind of lonely and looking for companionship (not necessarily a relationship). You can call it off and still be kind about it. Tell him that you think he's a great guy and you're very attracted to him, ... (read in full...)

A.   21 November 2013: Is this a long distance relationship? That's kind of relevant. I don't think she did anything wrong either. Although, the truth is, alcohol can loosen people up so you have to be careful if you want to remain committed and faithful. But tha... (read in full...)

A.   21 November 2013: Sorry, but your husband is cheating on you with a man. Period. The phone call seals it. You're going to have to tell him that you don't care if he denies it, you know the truth, and tell him you're not going to pretend you don't. Talk with him about ... (read in full...)

I'm starting to believe all lesbians are of the lower class and are unmotivated without ambition. Where are all the stable single lesbians?

Q.   Why is my dating pool so tragic? It's like all the women I've tried to take serious were going nowhere in life. I don't judge never did but today I realized they all have the no drive in common to be and do something greater in life. My first chic ...

A.   20 November 2013: While I believe most of what she says she thinks is true, one thing I know for a fact only from the little info you gave, is that you guys are not compatible. Break up now or do it later; if you don't she's going to cheat again unless you can ... (read in full...)

A.   20 November 2013: He may love you but he made the decision, over and over, to do something he knew would hurt you. It wasn't an accident, he made a choice. Besides, he could have dumped the other girl- he didn't want to because he cared about her too. Do you think ... (read in full...)

Has any female been in a relationship and later found out that your boyfriend or husband was gay?

Q.   Has any female been in a relationship and later found out that your boyfriend or husband was gay? How can you tell if he is? I have a suspicion that my almost ex husband may be gay and I'm just curious if anyone else has been in this situation. ...

A.   20 November 2013: My wife knew two guys who were gay (and cheated regularly) but we're married to women. The thing they both had in common (aside from liking guys) is that their religion, and thus their friends and family, we're not tolerant of gays. This made bei... (read in full...)

A.   19 November 2013: I wouldn't tell him. Revealing your feelings when you're not sure that they are shared can scare the other person away. You are probably better of hanging out with him in increasingly more date like situations. Feelings will either develop ... (read in full...)

Boyfriend tells me I'd look better if I lost weight then regrets it and tells me I look fine! What's going on?

Q.   I've been with my boyfriend for about 8 months. We're in a really happy relationship except for one thing. On occasion he has told me that I'd look better if I lost half a stone. He also tells me frequently (in a jokey way but I see a serious ...

A.   19 November 2013: What's going on in his head is pretty obvious: he has a "type" and you're not it by the strictest sense. That doesn't mean he's not attracted to you by any means. It's just as if you watch a movie and the actor takes his shirt of and is perfectl... (read in full...)

Sex is the best ever but boyfriend is treating me badly! Do I leave or stay for the sex?

A.   19 November 2013: If someone's gonna cheat, they're gonna cheat. There's not very much that can be done about it. For now it doesn't sound like he's crossed any lines, so if I was you I'd just trust him until he gives you a GENUINE reason not to, and at that point ... (read in full...)

Worried and confused -- why would he want to be in contact with this ex?

Q.   Hi, I really need some advice and honest opinions. How do you feel about ex's keeping in touch with each other? What's the reason they feel the need to stay in touch? My boyfriend of 6 months still keeps in touch with his ex who he was wit...

A.   19 November 2013: There's no need to repeat yourself, he already knows you don't like it. You're just going to have to trust him (assuming he's always been trustworthy). If he cheats, leave him. Or, you can leave him because you don't like them talking tog... (read in full...)

A.   18 November 2013: I think that the reality is that most people have sex without condoms when they know the other person. No, it doesn't make sense but it's common. It doesn't take long to realize that condoms make sex a lot less enjoyable, and your boyfrien... (read in full...)

A.   18 November 2013: The fact that you dated her 30+ years ago then she dated someone else after DOESN'T CHANGE A THING! She still wasn't with you. I'd even say that if she chested on you, after 31 years it doesn't matter! I was in diapers when this happened and I ha... (read in full...)

A.   17 November 2013: You're obviously not compatible. But if you want to try anyways, you have to give her space. If you bug her you'll ruin your chances. If you stop calling/texting/etc, she will get her space and she may end up missing you. Not to mention it'll help ... (read in full...)

A.   17 November 2013: Your a big boy, you'll be fine. At your age a person who was never anything but a friend isn't the love of your life, so don't convince yourself she is, you're just making it harder on yourself. If it's a mistake it's hers to make, so just be ... (read in full...)

A.   17 November 2013: This isn't her fault, it's yours. You could have said that she needs to pay you back for interest, but you should have said you can't afford it. There's a reason nobody else will lend her money! ... (read in full...)

A.   15 November 2013: The worst mistake people make when they get into a relationship is abandon their friends. People are social creatures (Facebook doesn't count) and generally need the company of more than one person to be happy. My dad has told me that one of h... (read in full...)

A.   15 November 2013: Honestly, I read your question and I don't see where you give any evidence that he's treating you badly. What I see is someone who puts their expectations on another person, then gets upset when they don't live up to them. If you're going to ... (read in full...)

A.   15 November 2013: It doesn't sound like you're leading him on at all. You've said you'll be monogamous, that's it. If you ever change your mind you're free to do so. It seems safe to say that neither one of you are head over heels for the other yet, so you alre... (read in full...)

A.   14 November 2013: Well, I think it's a pointless question, but I wouldn't really be offended because racism has more to do with the feeling of superiority or inferiority than it does talking about skin color. Maybe they like your skin tone and are simply curious?... (read in full...)

My ex is dating my friend's sister and treating her like gold!

A.   13 November 2013: Maybe she demanded it? Who knows? Facebook, however, is not an accurate guage of love or happiness, so stop putting to much faith in it. Second, if he's happier with her, more in love with her, more romantic with her, etc, it only means they are... (read in full...)
