A.   11 February 2019: You say "Because I am leaving him be at the moment, it's not lack of love on either side why we have split up, we struggled to communicate with each other. "He hasn't changed the pictures in malice, they are cute and funny. I'm hurting enough a... (read in full...)

My boyfriend is preoccupied with his size and performance

Q.   Recently my B/f has become paronoid about not being able to please me. He ususaly lasts a min or two and then that is it. Plus he worries that as he isnt as big as he would like to be that I might not be enjoying our love life as much as I could. ...

A.   10 February 2019: Appears you can't say right for saying wrong with this guy. If 99% of what you say is positive and 1% is not quite as positive, he will hear only the latter. I think your boyfriend needs to learn that good sex is about communication, not size. Se... (read in full...)

Has anyone ever lost their libido to this degree due to boredom and lack of emotional connection and was I selfish for not being a sexually dutiful partner?

Q.   Thank you to anyone who reads and responds to my post. I recently separated from a 9 year relationship, 4 years living together. I'm not sure if I have done the right thing but what I do know is that I am heart broken knowing I have broken his ...

A.   10 February 2019: Not judging here, just genuinely curious: what would make someone get involved as a "third party" in an established relationship? I understand getting involved just for sexual gratification but this appears to be a lot more. How did this happen? How ... (read in full...)

A.   5 February 2019: Whoa! Hold your horses, tiger! This has so many red flags waving, it's downright horrifying. A girl you contact with on line suggests on the SAME day you meet up in a hotel and offers to sleep with you? This could be so many different kinds of... (read in full...)

A.   5 February 2019: How many more years do you want to waste doing exactly what you are doing and being miserable? Waiting for him to change is futile. He is who he is. If that is all you think you are worth, then stay with him and carry on telling him things need to ... (read in full...)
