I've already pitched in money for a holiday and now my girlfriend is treating me like crap. I don't think I want to be with her.

Q.   About two months ago my girlfriend and her friends (her friends,not mine)decided to go on a vacation and they invited me. We calculated that it would be 500 dollars a person. Everyone pitched in money 2 months ago in order to ensure commitment and ...

A.   24 July 2013: Go and do your own thing. You're not a prime target for mugging, that's the older people. Young people don't have any money and the thugs know that. Besides, if you're careful everything will be fine. I've been in some pretty dangerous places and ... (read in full...)

Is it appropriate or inappropriate for your sister to live with your soon-to-be ex husband?

Q.   Appropriate or inappropriate? My husband and I were having problems. My sister broke up with her boyfriend and requested to live in the house, I said no and gave her other options. My husband and I were on the verge of separation, I didn't think it ...

My girlfriend in my LDR is barely speaking to me anymore. Should I break up with her?

Q.   I've been in a relationship for 3 years with this girl now. Last year, she moved to another city with her family. She used to call and message me all the time. After 3months,she joined a college for her further studies. She became friends with a guy ...

A.   24 July 2013: Sorry dude, but she's obviously not mature enough to let you move on even though she clearly has. When another guy is more important to her than you are, it's a good sign that all is not well. Send her a message simply stating that it'... (read in full...)

Is a threesome a good idea? Should I delay decision making, until I return in a month?

Q.   Hi aunts and uncles :) I'll start with a bit of back story first. My boyfriend and I have been together for over 5 years now and we believe we are in a strong relationship. We've been through a lot what with family death and serious fall outs be...

A.   22 July 2013: While it makes sense to read some of the "threesomes gone wrong" stories to get an idea of the problems you may face, you have to remember that dear cupid is for people to ask for advice, not brag about their threesomes. If things go well then they ... (read in full...)

Q.   My boyfriend and I are in a serious relationship for almost 2 years. We had a spat, and he went to his friend who is a girl and told her all about it, and confided in her!!I don't like it It upsets me because he does not like me getting advice f...

A.   21 July 2013: If he hasn't already cheated, it's probably just cheating waiting to happen. The "confidant" is the classic weakness for people. ... (read in full...)

I don't care that she's hanging out with her ex(s) during college vacation -- red flag that I should break up with her?

Q.   I started dating a girl, pretty seriously (commitment to each other) shortly before college vacation. We have now been apart about 2 months, with approx 1 more month to go. We are thousands of miles apart. I rarely use Facebook, but when I ...

A.   19 July 2013: Unless you really have something to hold on to, I don't see the point in staying with her. It seems like it's only a matter of time until you break up; might as well be sooner than later so you can possibly find someone who really works for you. ... (read in full...)

My girlfriend no longer wants to date or hang out, just wants sex

Q.   I have a problem that really shouldn't be a problem for a guy of my age. Me and my girlfriend have been dating for about 6 months we had intercourse about 1 month ago. Up until that point our relationship had been great we were very affectionate and ...

A.   19 July 2013: Question 2 is hilarious... Not all women are only interested in sex. Being good in bed (as SVC implied being good for one doesn't mean good for all) will usually mean you just have better sex, not that it'll dominate your relationship. ... (read in full...)

We broke up because of distance not because we weren't in love. Its so hard!

Q.   Hello. I would like to ask for some advice if possible. Myself and my girlfriend have just split up due to her moving back to Italy and me being forced to stay here in Ireland. We discussed this at length and decided that things would be better ...

A.   19 July 2013: @wiseowl,i think you misunderstood; they lived near each other and she moved back to Italy so they broke up specifically because they didn't want to do the long distance thing. @OP: Why don't you find a way to follow her? Work online from Ita... (read in full...)

My husband just doesn't want to do 'normal' things.

Q.   My husband just doesn't want to do 'normal' things. He is very fond of drinking whilst I'm not bothered. All his plans involve drink and drinking buddies as I call them. He won't make plans with me to go out or walk with the dog, take me out a ...

A.   18 July 2013: Your man needs a complete overhaul. You listed so many big issues that I can't see the point in staying with him. If you have kids your feelings will only get worse. He seems to be checked out of the marriage already, but at least he's not chec... (read in full...)

Did I ruin things by telling my boyfriend that he has a "grower"?

Q.   me and my boyfriend were getting intimate for the first time. He has quite a small penis but it grew really large when turned on, and much larger than I saw a penis grow to compared to its size when soft. so when I saw what size it was beco...

A.   18 July 2013: For future reference, unless your boyfriend has an 8 inch penis, it's probably best to think very carefully about mentioning it. He's probably fine, so I wouldn't worry about it. ... (read in full...)

Would writing to him help me get over the breakup?

Q.   My ex of 4 years dumped me out of nowhere. It's just too harsh for me then. I keep myself busy and move on and I think I'm doing better though I still cried to bed some nights. I think I forgive him in my heart and wish him the best. Does anyone ...

Is love really racist or Is it just my mind?

Q.   Hi Friends, I am really trying to understand something here. I am working in a private sector firm and I like someone at work. I am an South East Asian and she probably is White/Mix. She started working at my company couple of weeks ago. When ...

A.   17 July 2013: I just want to make it clear that the only thing you have at this point is attraction. Nothing more. So if things don't work out there's no reason to be dismayed. Now to your question. I bet what happened is that she kind of got the idea that you... (read in full...)

Q.   My boyfriend never has time for me should I break up with him ?? We were dating about 3 weeks before and things were great he was seeing me a lot then I got upset with him over him not adding me as a friend on facebook so I dumped him. I got really ...

A.   17 July 2013: I don't mean to sound insensitive, but I get the feeling that you are as much to blame as he is. But, either way, if you don't like the way he's treating you when you've only dated him for a few weeks then dump him. There's absolutely no reason that ... (read in full...)

Facing a separation and divorce, after just one year of marriage! Help, please!

Q.   This is probably the most I have needed advice of any question I've asked on here. I am facing a separation and ultimately divorce. I'm having a lot of mixed emotions and its been a roller coaster but I'll give the background in as short a story as ...

A.   17 July 2013: The divorce rate is so high because people don't take compatibility into consideration nearly as much as they do love. Love is important, but you can see how far it's taken you without compatibility. In my opinion you should get out of this rel... (read in full...)

A.   17 July 2013: It'll work better than any other option, but there's no guarantee. The worst case scenario is that you leave him, he doesn't come back, but you are able to get over him once and for all. ... (read in full...)

Q.   I have a real dilemma and I am in need of advice. I am a single 30-something year old mum and have been single for 9 years. My daughter rides at a local riding school and isn't of the age I can leave her on her own. She has become friends with ...

A.   17 July 2013: He definitely likes you... At the very least he would like to have a fling. For future reference, in a situation like this if you're not sure that you're reading the signs correctly you can say it in a way that gives you both an "out". Tell him... (read in full...)

Do you believe there's someone for everyone?

Q.   I think the media hypes love by saying there's someone for everyone, don't give up on love. etc. NOT everyone finds love. I think society just says this to make people who've been hurt feel better, as well as to encourage procreation and sell ...

A.   16 July 2013: Even convicted serial killers find love. With some people it just takes more patience as well as a willingness to hear the word "no" enough times to get to a yes. If you are having bad luck with women (or no luck) and you're not making moves... (read in full...)

A.   16 July 2013: I don't agree that things are just over. Maybe, but it's also likely that the two of you have taken your relationship for granted and not nourished your love and/or passion. Go on more dates, do special things for each other and try to rekindle... (read in full...)

Q.   Dear Cupid, My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 months. He is 28 and I am 25. The relationship moved really quickly and I absolutely fell in love with him and him with me. This past weekend, I found out that he has two children he neve...

A.   16 July 2013: I'd say that you should stay with him as long as you understand that you will probably never be able to expect anything from him. Don't expect a family, responsibility, stability, honesty, etc. So, basically treat him as you would a booty ca... (read in full...)

My long distance boyfriend insists we get married so we can be together

Q.   Thank you in advance for any advice regarding my problem. I am pretty torn up inside and I'm not sure of what I should do. I'm 25 years old and so is my boyfriend. My boyfriend and I have been in a transatlantic, long distance relationship for about ...

A.   15 July 2013: There are two possible outcomes. You could marry him and be great for each other, or (more likely) find out you're not right for each other. Why do I say "more likely"? Because it takes a lot of dating/intimacy/etc to find out if someone is right ... (read in full...)

Since I no longer pay for everything, he doesn't hardly see me at all!

Q.   Ok I'm back with more questions. I am still in the LDR. But have made some much needed changes. I no longer pay for everything but with that change it means he doesn't see me hardly at all. So this is probably the last straw. This weekend I drive 3 ...

Q.   Long story short I have talked to my boyfriend about how uncomfortable it makes me feel that he does not have anything on any social media websites that say he has a girlfriend. No pictures, no statuses, his relationship status on FB is blank. He ...

A.   14 July 2013: He's not doing anything wrong and either are you. But, it's not fair to assume he's trying to hide anything. Some people just like to keep certain things close. If you don't agree with him, you're free to leave. If you don't want to leave then just ... (read in full...)

A.   13 July 2013: Don't think that you lost him because you weren't "sweet" enough. You lost him because it was an LDR and because you weren't compatible. And to your question: I never hated anyone, it's a waste of time. Fortunately there are nearly 7 billion ... (read in full...)

A.   13 July 2013: I think that a lot of time when people haven't been dating for very long they think that their partner is just about perfect. That makes it easy to imagine being married to them. Then something happens that shatters the illusion that the other pe... (read in full...)
