“I met a girl who moved from upstate Michigan and we have been dating for 5 months now but she always is texting her guy friends from upnorth, from her old town. Well she seems to be enjoying herself better when she texts her old friends who happen to be guys then when she texts me. She goes up north once in a while to see old family and friends and she hangs out with her guy friends. Well i dont know these guys and they all have said she is attractive in some way. Well she says there only friends but she has more fun with them then with me. What should I do?”

“I lke this girl with whom i am friends from past 3 months. now i have developed a feeling for her and i am feeling like i shold have her as my girlfriend. we talk for almost everyday via phone or text. now the problem is she says that she is not interested in having relationship with anyone and wants to focus on her carrier. now i am plannig to propose her next week. I know that ultimately she ll b Saying NO! But i really dont want to lose her. So ultimately my question is, “what should i do make her say Yes, after she had already said NO?”

“I have been with my boyfriend for over Five years and we just recently got engaged. Now there is another guy I am interested in and the other guy is not at all what I will usually go for. He has a wife and a one year old child back in his country. He tells me he is having problems with her and I feel like I might not be ready to wed yet due to the fact that I have kissed this guy more than one in my engagement.I feel like I am stuck. I can’t stop thinking of this guy and when I see my fiance I think of this guy. I dont know what to do. Please Help!”

“I have found myself unable to stop making abusive comments to my girlfriend, I used to think that she was being over sensitive and it was only my way of being playful. However on reflection I do not think this was relevant because essentially I do not want to hurt her.  Also I used to think that I was seeking her approval by trying to make her laugh but this does not make sense and now I feel that I am a bully because I could not stop myself from belittling her, ultimately like an addiction. I have parted with my girlfriend to reflect and figure out what I need to do to change my behaviour, that because being a recovered alcoholic I firmly believe is possible.”

“we been talking for a year. Things were complicated because it seemed as if he had a issue moving foward with me. He claimed he really liked me and didn’t want to be friends 0. Never has he made an effort to spend time with me. I talked to him about it and now he claims he doesn’t want me to move on,but needs sometime to think. He says attracted to the person I am.he agres to finish our convo when he calls back but then I don’t hear from him in a month. He recently calls I ignore then call back a day later and its been a week and hasn’t called back.”

“My boyfriend watches ALOT of porn, which doesn’t bother me at all. My problem is that he is somewhat inexperienced and seems to think real sex should be like it is in porn movies…multiple and uncomfortable positions, lasting for hours, etc. How do I tell him that I don’t like this without damaging his ego? I’ve tried using guidance in the bedroom but he just goes back to what he thinks is good.”

“i met an older guy (11 years older, i’m 20) at work 3 months ago and developed feelings for him, and he acted like he felt the same. i caught him staring/smiling at me, he was touchy feely, always coming to see/talk to me etc, but since i left a month ago, he’s not spoken to me an awful lot and i haven’t seen him. i told him i like him 5 days ago and he hasn’t responded. i don’t mind either way but the fact that he’s ignoring me is really bothering me, what should i do?”

“So i met this girl. I saw her in passing a few times but I never had a real conversation just a few hi and passing. One day she asks for my number and from there we were off. She let me know she was unhappily married and had some other things going on and didnt want to involve anyone else in her problems. however we talked constantly, always flirting, she tells me I’m the first thing she thinks about and how she thinks im cute. Well we were suppose to go out for drinks on her day off and she waits until the last minute to tell me that she’s not putting drinking and spending time with me over skyoing her husband. Ok fine so I told her she should have let me know that earlier. So I stop by her room at like 1 in the morning just to make sure we were ok. She told me we was and then the next day messages me and tells me dont show up at her door anymore and basically to stop talking to her. What happened and what should I do from here?”

“Im engaged to the love of my life. but she is attached to the hip to her mother and family.
She has always put her family before me, and until now im beggining to get tired of it.  She sometimes brings her cousins and mom to visit, and expects me to always pay, and the like to eat expensive.  I’ve brought it to her attention but says i make 4x as much as they do.  She comes from a family who was well off but now due to the reccession her mom lost her business.  I feel she expects me to provide her and her mother and 8 year boy with the lifestyle they once knew, but honestly i just cant, i have expenses and pay child support so i refuse to do it, and now she is contemplating ending our relationship.

What should i do or approach this?”
