People are like stained - glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

I've been on DC since 2007. I have seen just about everything you can imagine on here. I am a "softer" responder. I try to always give good advice with kindness. I genuinely want to help people and never want to hurt someone by the words I type since most people that come to DC are already hurting in some way.

Q.   Hey everyone.....Im 16 years old and I have this problem. My problem is that with every boyfriend I had, i've cheated on. I can never have a boyfriend and not cheat on him. Its something that i hate doing and I know its wrong but I cant help ...

A.   13 February 2010: I don't think there's anything wrong with you, sweetie. You're young, and need to be free to explore what kind of a guy you really like. When you get committed at a young age, you really can miss out on alot, then suddenly you're older and realize ... (read in full...)

Q.   It's about 5 years already that I'm just attracted to older men.I can not be with young guys for too long.I find them boring,unreliable,hard to deal with... but because of my mum who is so angry at me for loving an older man that she just saw his ...

A.   12 February 2010: Please listen to rythym&blues. She's giving you good, solid advice. I don't care WHAT this man tells you, he's going to get old, and far before you do. He can run, jump, exercise, do whatever he wants..but if he thinks he won't get old..he's only ... (read in full...)

A.   11 February 2010: As everyone else has stated, if you are having doubts, then certainly don't marry the 28 year old. I'm assuming that you have thought through what your life would be like with a man 58? I'll give you a little glimpse of what MIGHT happen in your ... (read in full...)

Does he behave this way because he is jealous or because he loves me?

Q.   since my boyfriend doesn't like when i smile at people ,who smile at me do you think he is jealous or because he loves me?...

A.   11 February 2010: I think I'd be a little afraid of a man who doesn't want you to smile at others. He sounds insecure and controlling. Does he also tell you not to talk to other people? I wouldn't say its because he loves you dear. ... (read in full...)

A.   11 February 2010: I really don't understand how you can think its "just in fun". If you are in a "committed" relationship as you say, why are you doing this? Obviously you must feel some guilt if you're on here asking about it, so don't you too think its wrong? Would ... (read in full...)

Waiting to be struck by Cupid for Valentines Day!

Q.   How long after you date a guy for him to know that he is ready to be in a committed relationship or dating u exclusively? What does it mean if he say, "You may not know it. But, you may already like me. We seem to click and should be in a ...

A.   11 February 2010: It means exactly what he said. I give him credit for being straightforward. He doesn't want to be exclusive, he wants to date others. And since he hasn't contacted you, perhaps he is doing just that. I wouldn't be waiting by the phone for his calls, ... (read in full...)

She was back in town and I didn't even know... why is she so distant now?

Q.   I have been seeing this woman for almost a year and a half. Last May she went back home to New Brunswick to be with her sick mom. We were having the long distance relationship thing and it was ok. I recently discovered she was back here when she ...

A.   11 February 2010: I'm sorry to say but if she can't even bother to tell you that she's back in town then its apparent she doesn't think that much about you or your relationship. I realize how much this might hurt you, but you have to accept that she didn't want to ... (read in full...)

Should I explore life and leave my current boyfriend?

Q.   Ok, i have a BF and we've been together for a year and a half. He is about 8 years older that i am, im 21. Do the math. Our relationship is good and strong. The only thing that is kinda bad is our sex life. There isn't 1.. 1 night a friend of mines ...

A.   11 February 2010: Miamine gave excellent advice. You're young sweetie..why would you stay with a man that you aren't attracted to? You will only be frustrated more and more as you get older, and more than likely eventually will cheat. If you know you don't want one ... (read in full...)

He gives me higher grades than the others and that makes me feel good...

Q.   Alright. So the question isn't does he like me, I already know that one of my teachers this year does. I have no interest in him for the record. He's a middle aged man, around 45-50 would be my guess and he's married with I thhink 3 daughters. He's ...

A.   11 February 2010: You're at a very vulnerable age, and of course its flattering to have an older man show you attention. But if this teacher is giving you higher grades than you really earn, its wrong. And if he is showing you noticeable attention, this is not ... (read in full...)

Is he interested in me or just being nice?

Q.   I have been going to a counselor for the past 2 years and can't ask him because he is the one I need advice about. About 2 months ago I developed an interest in him and there are some things he does that makes me wonder if he is interested also. ...

A.   11 February 2010: It would appear that he might be interested but you realize that it would be highly unprofessional of him to seek a personal relationship with him while treating you. You are treading in murky water. I think it would be wise if you are truly ... (read in full...)

A.   6 February 2010: Hi. I know this is really hurting you, because you've posted about it several times now. No matter how many times you post about it, I'm afraid you're going to get relatively the same answers. First of all, its going to hurt...for a very long time. ... (read in full...)

Q.   I have a long distance relationship with an incredible lady. She's my best friend and I'd love it if one day we were more. At one time we used to talk everyday, sometimes several times a day. Over the last couple months as her work has increas...

A.   5 February 2010: If she's had surgery, she truly may not be feeling very well yet, especially trying to take care of 2 children. It would be sweet of you to email her, better yet, why not just call her and say "I was thinking of you, wonder how you are?" What is the ... (read in full...)

Q.   I have been dating my girlfriend for about a year and a half now, things have been going great for the most part. I love her a lot, she loves me, but I feel like she doesn't always take mine or my family's feelings into consideration. We rarely...

A.   5 February 2010: If the two of you can't sit down, talk and have a mature conversation, I wouldn't say that there is a lot of hope for the relationship. If she wants to walk away or block you every time something comes up, she doesn't sound like good long term ... (read in full...)

Q.   I am heartbroken, my partner who I lived with for 3 years not only cheated and lied for the last 8 weeks of our relationship but got a woman he had a brief fling with pregnant. He has shown no remorse for what he did and has walked away from all our ...

A.   5 February 2010: I'm so sorry for the pain that you are feeling. There really isn't one pact answer that anyone can give you. The cold hard truth is that the guy just didn't care enough about your feelings. He just did what he wanted to do, and when it was over ... (read in full...)

A.   5 February 2010: At 14, I realize that you have very tender feelings and you feel you are in love. But please try to see things from your parents point of view. They love you, and want to protect you. They are just being parents. I don't know of too many parents ... (read in full...)

I want to end the relationship because she has put on too much weight

Q.   I am trying to find a way to end a relationship with a woman who has simply become too obese for me and I don't want to hurt her feelings. Is there anyone who can give me some advice?...

A.   5 February 2010: I beg of you, PLEASE don't tell her that you are ending things because of her weight! That is a very cruel thing to do, even if it is how you truly feel. It could really devastate her. Obviously you have a right to your own wants and desires, and if ... (read in full...)

A.   5 February 2010: No darling, its not a good idea at all. You are not prepared physically or mentally for sex. It might sound like fun, but its alot more than just fun. Please consider all options and WAIT. Having a baby at 15 isn't a good idea either. Food for ... (read in full...)

A.   5 February 2010: Listen CAREFULLY to what he is saying about the women in his past..because sooner or later he will be saying similar things about you. This is not a man you want to spend any more time on, he just isn't worth it. He doesn't care about anyone but ... (read in full...)

A.   5 February 2010: At 14, I would imagine almost anyone would be "rubbish" in bed. The scary thing is, WHY are you having sex at 14? Sweetie..you're way too young, and all kinds of problems can come out of this. If you don't know what you are doing, then maybe you ... (read in full...)

Q.   Hello, my boyfriend gave me an engagement ring that was previously used by his ex girlfriend. He says that he redid the ring, but the diamond is the same. It makes me feel uncomfortable. There is also a plus, when we started the relation...

A.   4 February 2010: No, no and NO! I would not accept the ring. NO WAY..NO HOW! Tell him politely that appreciate the sentiment behind it, but you do not want a ring that belonged to his ex, I don't care if it was redone. Tell him to pawn it, sell it whatever..and you ... (read in full...)

A.   4 February 2010: I hate to tell you this, and you may not like it, but your boyfriend sounds immature, insecure and controlling. 3 very unappealing qualities...and none of them get better with time. Think very carefully if you want to stay with a man like this! Why ... (read in full...)

Am I wrong to be glad he is not somebody other girls would be all over?

Q.   When it comes to height and weight, I'm right smack-dab in the middle of all that is average for someone my age. I'm just under 5'5" and 117 lbs. My boyfriend of over five years, however, is not what you would call "petite". He has a foot of height ...

A.   4 February 2010: I think I understand where you are coming from. My husband is gorgeous to me, but the rest of the world doesn't really seem him at his best, he usually keeps a small beard, wears a baseball cap, wears baggy clothes to work, and quite honestly, looks ... (read in full...)

A.   4 February 2010: As the gentlemen here have so wisely pointed out, sometimes guys are shy, and rather hesitant about making a move. This man may be like that. So..sometimes we ladies just have to brave and make the first move ourselves. You may just have to ask him ... (read in full...)
