Should I worry about his past? I'm worried his ex was better in bed and also that he may cheat!

Q.   I am in a rship with a perfect man (sweet, honest, goodlooking, great in bed, etc ec). We've been together for almost 4 years now... we are both young, in our second year of university, but we started dating in high school when we were 16. Over t...

A.   4 October 2007: Number one, most girls in the age category of 14, or 15 yrs. old (his first g/f's age) are hardly "experiened" in bedroom. Trust me, she was fumbling her way, just like you were in the beginning. Number two, he dumped her for you. So obviously he ... (read in full...)

Q.   I have a vile and viscious temper (trait passed on from my father) I can generally hold back when dealing with normal situations, but due to the fact my boyfriend is so laid back and quiet and submissive, I (4 years ago) began to easily get mad and ...

A.   3 October 2007: I think you should consider enrolling in anger management classes. It sounds trife, but it will help you understand where your anger is coming from, and be able to deal with it in a more healthy way. Another good way to deal with frustrations is ... (read in full...)

If she keeps gaining weight, after childbirth she could be twice as worst? Should I look beyond the weight and be with her because she makes me happy?

Q.   I have being going out with my girlfriend for three and half years and she has really made me very happy we get on so well. Only thing is when I met her she was 12stone. Since we got together she has given up on staying fit and she eats way too much ...

A.   3 October 2007: If she is already having difficulty keeping her weight at a healthy level, it could be genetic. Are her parents heavy and other siblings too? Maybe if you focus on the health aspect, you'll inspire her to eat better. Lead by example. Don't offer ... (read in full...)

I feel this older woman is trying to compete with me regarding clothes, hairstyles... and it's irritating!

Q.   I stated working in my dad's company beginning of this year and all was good until this woman who is 6 years older than me started trying to compete with me. I thought i was the only one who noticed but the other ladies at work told me as well. ...

A.   3 October 2007: First of all being 26 is hardly "old" regardless of the fact that she has a baby. As most of us age, we rarely ever feel as old as we are. She probably still sees herself as 22 and she probably enjoys the freshness you bring to the work place, and ... (read in full...)

I have never felt this needy before!!!

Q.   About 15 months ago I met a women on eHarmony and in short fell in love and moved from California to Colorado Springs, in the process I was very happy I had left where I came from to start my new wonderful life. I know we jumped into the relation...

A.   3 October 2007: Sometimes there is back-lash when people make too many changes too quickly. You met someone, and then you re-located, which I'm assuming meant, getting a new job too. That's alot to deal with, plus you're still discovering this person, and finding ... (read in full...)

I can't have this baby..my bf is an alcoholic and an angry person! Help!

Q.   I am 7 weeks pregnant and can't have this baby because of being in a really bad and progressively worse relationship. My boyfriend is an alcoholic and overall an angry person and so is his family. He wants to have this baby but I don't want to ...

A.   3 October 2007: I think the question should be how do you feel about having a baby. Boyfriends come and boyfriends go. You could simply break up with him and move away before he even knows you're pregnant. I know most people would say, it's his right as the ... (read in full...)

Q.   My fiance to get has told me to wait for 2 years from now so that we can get married,Isn't that too long.Advice please....

A.   3 October 2007: It's never too long when you're going to spend the rest of your lives together and you're still in your 20's. Be patient my dear, I'm sure he has his reasons. It could be financial, or due to a schoool or career committment. Lots of couples remain ... (read in full...)

How do I break up a friends with benefits deal? Is that even a good idea?

Q.   HELP!! Im currently dating this guy, and so far we've been having fun to the fullest! Yes we argue but we make up that same instant (nothing serious) , we aren't in a relationship, but were sexually intimate. So u can call it a friends with benefits ...

A.   3 October 2007: Well you could just avoid him altogether, you know don't answer your phone, don't answer your door, or any e-mails he sends you normally. If you do that long enough, he'll get the hint. But I think what you really want to do, is have him as your b/f ... (read in full...)

Q.   I love her but she's married...After close to a year she's told me that she can't continue and she can't give me what I want but she values my friendship more than anything. I dunno why but I can't seem to let her go. What do I do? Am I wrong for ...

A.   27 September 2007: Yes, it was wrong to start seeing a married woman, but people do it all the time for various reasons. Usually you think they'll leave their spouse for you. Sometimes they do. This one didn't. At any rate, someone usually ends up getting hurt ... (read in full...)

Q.   I have been with my boyfriend for two years. We love each other but he needs other female attention and it hurts my feelings. I understand that all people look at attractive people but he takes it over the edge. He stares at attractive women to ...

A.   27 September 2007: Well if he gets jealous when you look at other men, but he can't stop looking at other women, then start gawking at other men and then when he gets pissed off, tell him he has "low self esteem" and ask him if that sounds familiar? You know what ... (read in full...)

A.   27 September 2007: It could be a number of things, your b/f perhaps is feeling the stress of being so young and raising two young children. You've been together long enough that perhaps he's a little bored, or afraid there will be another little bundle of joy that ... (read in full...)

The phone rang after we had just finished sex. Was it ridiculous for me to want to answer the phone? Or for my husband to be hurt?

Q.   My husband and I had just finished sex. The phone rang, and I answered it. My husband said it ruined the moment, and I should have let the answering machine pick it up and was really hurt. More info: *I didn't have to get up to answer the pho...

A.   27 September 2007: I would've just let the machine pick it up but then again, I don't get that many calls and I have to be in the mood to talk to people anyhow, so my machine picks up most of my calls then I decide when to call and chat with people so I'm not rushed ... (read in full...)

Love produces love? Can one love be enough for both?

Q.   Is there any true in the motto that Love always produces love? Can One's love(honest and indisputable one) produce love to other side(be it male or female) even if there exist no one? What you think, is it worth or futile endevour being with someone ...

A.   27 September 2007: It wouldn't be enough for me, but everyone is different. I would be very disappointed and unfulfilled if I loved someone so much, and knew they didn't feel the same way about me. I think it's much richer when it flows both ways. Don't settle for ... (read in full...)

Q.   My boyfriend and I have been living together for two years. We have always had different 'lifestyles' but it has started to become a problem. I am very social and like to do things and go out with friends. He likes to stay at home. Anyone have ...

A.   27 September 2007: As long as he lets you have the freedom to go out when you want to, it may not be an issue. I was involved with a guy like this once and at first, I chalked it up to "opposites attract" and he did let me go out with my friends without throwing a ... (read in full...)

A.   27 September 2007: I am seeing a guy who is kind of like this. For one thing, he does have high blood pressure and is on medication for it so I think some of his waned sex drive could be connected to this problem. At times, he's insatiable. And other times he ... (read in full...)

Q.   I have been seeing this guy about three months, in the beginning he came on quite strong, telling me he wanted to take care of me...etc...pursued me. We knew each other about four years, he got out of a terrible breakup last year...and finally the ...

A.   27 September 2007: I think he's still dealing with the break up of his last relationship and has not worked through that grief/pain just yet. He seems to be throwing himself into work as a way of warding off depression which I think he's battling. He enjoys having ... (read in full...)

SITE NEWS: Wanted, your ideas for features and improvements!

A.   26 September 2007: Hi hon, Well it seems like you've been deluding yourself for quite sometime, thinking this man still had feelings for you because he remained friends. Perhaps you held on to some kind of false hope that the two of you would eventually get back toge... (read in full...)

Q.   Help, I'm married and have kids. I recently ran into an old boyfriend from my teenage years. My husband knows his name (Chris) and what we did (we never had 'all the way' sex, I just performed oral sex on him about 10 times or so). Anyway, ...

A.   25 September 2007: Well there's no way to do that! Since this guy is so manipulative, just tell your husband there's a guy in your class that's coming on too strong and hasn't been too happy that you've said "no" to his advances. That's all he needs to know about ... (read in full...)

A.   25 September 2007: Since you are an only child, it sounds like you have always been their "whole world". I'm sure they mean well, but they've become a bit over-protective and over-bearing for someone your age. Maybe you can buy them a book on how to enjoy retirement ... (read in full...)

A.   25 September 2007: Stop spending time with him. You're giving out mixed signals. You know the old saying, your lips say, "no, no" but your eyes say "yes, yes". Don't go to lunch with him, don't call him up to chat, don't e-mail him, don't let him come over. If he ... (read in full...)

A.   24 September 2007: I would delete them. And if he notices it, it'll show you that he does look at them frequently and you'll then have an opportunity, since he brought it up, to ask him why he still felt the need to hang onto pictures of her. If he never brings it ... (read in full...)

A.   20 September 2007: Okay since you are so completely thick-headed on this subject, let's look at it from another angle. Let's assume for the sake of argument that your wife did have consensual sex with these past boyfriends, of 12 years ago. Judging by the way you ... (read in full...)

A.   16 September 2007: I think you have bigger problems than worrying about your b/f's wife and whether her friendship with the neighbor is going to be damaged. You and this man cannot continue this charade any longer. If he is unhappy in his marriage, as he claims to ... (read in full...)

Am I being stupid?

A.   16 September 2007: These incidents happened over 12 years ago and prior to your marriage. Why in the world would this subject have even come up at this point and become such a huge problem? Your wife is not in high school anymore and hasn't been for more than 12 ... (read in full...)

A.   16 September 2007: He may have met someone else. Men who back stroke this fast have usually been cheating on you for awhile and realized it's time to pull the plug. Sorry for the sad news but you'll find someone else and be just fine. Take care. xoxox... (read in full...)

Fantasy or Nightmare?

Q.   I care very much for my girlfriend and I trust her. When we go out with friends, she often finds it fun to make out with her girl friends, especially when she has been drinking. Maybe I am crazy because for many people this would be their fantasy ...

A.   16 September 2007: Talk to her about it, preferrably when she's sober and tell her you don't like it, not even in play. She's probably doing it because she thinks you're getting off on it. Once she realizes it's not something you enjoy watching, maybe she'll quit ... (read in full...)

Am I an idiot for thinking his excuse is plausible? Online dating searches "just for the laugh" ?

Q.   I desperately need some advice about my husband. We've been married for almost two years. About 18 months ago I found out that he had registered on an internet dating site, understandably I was furious. He had given detailed descriptions of t...

A.   13 September 2007: Well I hesitate to ever call anyone an idiot but.....in this case, I think you are being buffaloed. Your husband isn't happy being married. He may be coming home every night. He may be going through the motions, doing what everyone is expecting ... (read in full...)

Most of my hubby's friends have stopped talking to him, I think it's because of his need to correct people all the time, which is now very frequent and upsetting.

Q.   I'm having a problem with my husband. He always feels the need to correct EVERYONE about almost EVERYTHING they say. For example, I'll say that the sky is blue and he'll "correct" me by saying that it's cyan. Or if a friend says that they're col...

A.   13 September 2007: Well, it's a bit extreme, but why don't you plant a tape-recorder near an area where the two of you might be sitting and talking one evening, and just start the conversation like you would normally, and see how many times during the span of this ... (read in full...)

A.   11 September 2007: Consider going to couples counseling with your spouse first, before you throw in the towel. Just because your pharmacy friend is showing you some attention, and seems to be your dream man, does not mean he won't have his own weird issues once you ... (read in full...)

A.   11 September 2007: Your husband is an over-achiever, always seeking approval from some invisible source, such as his subconscious. It probably stems from his childhood. Could it be that he was the oldest child, and always felt responsible for everything and had to ... (read in full...)

A.   29 August 2007: You might just be better off distancing yourself from her, however sad that may be. She will eventually turn your boys against you if she's filling their heads with lies, and bashing your character. She may be your mother, but she neither respects ... (read in full...)
