I'm finally moving to where my girlfriend is! Am I making the right decision?

Q.   I just don't know what to do. I've been dating my girlfriend for two years, and I love her a lot. We live 6 hours away from each other so we barely see each other, but talk every night and even fall asleep on the phone together. I'm madly in love ...

A.   5 September 2007: You won't know till you get there. But, how far has she gone with other people? Light flirting? Not bad. Getting massages? Not so bad. Making out? Bad. Having sex? Really really bad. It depends on how far she has gone without you there. ... (read in full...)

Could these antibiotics have caused thrush?

Q.   Hi, i dont think i should be too worried but i just want to put my mind at ease. I lost my virginity 3 days ago and it was protected sex as he wore a condom. I have also been ill and have been on penicillin tablets due to tonsilitis. I have noticed ...

A.   31 August 2007: Don't worry. Antibiotics can and often do cause thrush/yeast infections in women. Call up your doc and ask for diflucan or something like that. It'll go away soon enough.... (read in full...)

Is this even possible? Am I talking rubbish?

Q.   Ok so this may seem strange but I was having a feel around my vagina (trying to have a bloody orgasm!) and I notice that there are actually i think two canals running from the entrance of my vagina, i think they go in slightly different directions, ...

A.   31 August 2007: Actually, it IS possible, although VERY rare to have two uteruses with two vaginal canals. It's not a really problem if you do. Just unusual. You could just have an additional diverting canal. Not a big deal if you do. But, if you're on the pill... (read in full...)

A.   30 August 2007: STOP WORRYING! You didn't cheat. You don't remember it. No one saw you do it. So you didn't do it. You're totally freaking yourself out. STOP. Just be more careful about drinking in excess in the future. ... (read in full...)

Q.   Hello and thank you in advance for your advice. Sorry the back ground is so long but my question wouldt make sense without it. Im a 26yr old gay woman, im currently working as a head of year in an english high school, studying hard to earn the extr...

A.   30 August 2007: You can only take this one day at a time. You're right to be concerned by the evidence of her past. People don't usually change much. But, if she hasn't given you any concrete reason since you've been together to doubt her feelings for you, or ... (read in full...)

Q.   This really isnt a life or death question but ive been playing the trumpet for 5 years now and ive been told that i am really good at it. However my passion is jazz and my mom wont let me join a jazz band only a classical band. She actually becomes ...

A.   29 August 2007: I know you don't think this is funny at all, but your post made me grin a bit. Ever read a biography on jazz legend Nina Simone? She snuck out of the house as a kid to sing jazz at clubs around town. She did it under an alias so she wouldn't get ... (read in full...)

Should i be concerned about my guy and this girl?

Q.   Okay what should I make of this? My b/f said he had to go out on a field trip with a female co-worker today. He had her come by our house and pick him up at 7:00 AM. This was a little weird, as he usually drives to work and employees take a field ...

A.   29 August 2007: One single incident like this wouldn't make me really concerned. File that in your memory and if you see other things that seem out of the ordinary, then get concerned. Where's there's smoke, there's fire, yes. But make sure it's really smoke ... (read in full...)

Q.   My gf has just broken up with me and i'm not handling it very well. I feel as if i'm slipping into depression and nothing seems worth doing. I truly loved this girl and was convinced that i wanted to be with her for life. When I used to tell her ...

A.   29 August 2007: It's totally normal and ok to be so depressed after something like this. Put away as many things as you can that remind you of her. Replace what you can, even with temporary things, for now. Beyond that, let yourself "mourn" then end of the ... (read in full...)

Q.   My boyfriend and I have been dating for three months. Recently while at his place his Messenger popped up with a loud kiss inviting him to a falling hearts chat room. Her e-mail starts off as Hey babe. I asked him about this female before and he ...

A.   29 August 2007: I'd be concerned. Follow up on this. Any flirting he does with her should be the kind of flirting he would feel comfortable doing in front of you. Let him know this. Obviously he can't control how she talks to him, for instance, but if she's ... (read in full...)

A.   28 August 2007: Hi there, I know from personal experience some of what you're feeling. Can you think of school in a different way? School can be an escape from your troubled home life. You're in that tough place in life where you're old enough to know what you ... (read in full...)

Q.   My gf/s parents are trying to seperate us (after almost 11 months together) because I have had a few minor traffic violations in the past. last being in 1994 and they act like they are all high society and people will think bad things if they ever ...

A.   28 August 2007: Of course you don't like it. You're right, 1994 was a while ago. Even a DUI after 13 years isn't so bad if you don't drink and drive anymore (for example). But, what does she think about it? Is she passive about their intervening? Does she ... (read in full...)

Q.   Do people get depressed and not really want to interact with others when they are trying to sober up? My friend is an alcoholic and she went to rehab and she's trying to stay sober, but I haven't heard from her and she used to call me a lot. ...

A.   28 August 2007: I hope the counselors at the rehab are working with her. Don't take her lack of interest in you personally. What she's going through is so huge. What she is hopefully doing is trying to concentrate on herself in a new way. Trying to discover ... (read in full...)

Q.   Well me and my boyfriend were going to have sex last night and I thought I would jack him off and then we would have some fun and then f*ck. Well after I jacked him off about 5 minutes later he wasnt in the mood anymore. Does that mean he isnt into ...

A.   28 August 2007: Usually after a guy climaxes, they get really tired and many fall asleep. It's a biological thing. So, I wouldn't take it personally if he is "done" after he climaxes. As far as getting him in the mood, is it 50/50? Does he ever persue you sexu... (read in full...)

A.   28 August 2007: Someone can have a problem with infidelity and still be very sorry every time they do it. If you two have only been together for 3 years, and have a child, yet he still feels the need to cheat on you, then I say those aren't good stats! If he's... (read in full...)

Q.   I recently moved out from my girlfriend of 2 years. we were very much in love, but within a month she had invited two other men over for coffee she had met online on seperate occasions. then we started speaking again and decided to give our ...

A.   22 August 2007: It doesn't matter what happend while you two were broken up. It's none of your business because you were broken up at the time. Hard facts, but it's true. It wasn't cheating if something did happen. Move on, get it out of your head, stop obs... (read in full...)

A.   7 August 2007: I know lots of money has already been spent on your wedding prep, but you actually CAN back out, even now. Look at it this way, if you think this is someone you don't really want to marry right now, and you go ahead and marry him, then you'll be ... (read in full...)

A.   7 August 2007: FYI, if you don't already, you should always try and go to the bathroom and pee right after you have sex. The act of having sex can push bacteria up into your urethra. Going to pee as soon as you can after sex helps push that bacteria back out so ... (read in full...)

A.   6 August 2007: Here's the reason I think most women in her shoes would be very pissed off: It appears that you're not committing to your wife 100%. When you continue conversations after you're married with women, ESPECIALLY on dating sites, then it appears that... (read in full...)

A.   6 August 2007: My first guess is that it has nothing to do with you. It may just be a problem for him. Have you talked about it with him? If not, chances are that he is just as concerned about it as you are. Be the one to start the conversation, and you may be ... (read in full...)

A.   1 August 2007: I agree with penta. Ultimately it comes down to respect. He may be too young and inexperienced to know that he's not treating you respectfully, so your job is to tell him how you feel. Do you feel like an object when he grabs you like that? Do y... (read in full...)

A.   31 July 2007: Talk it through with her. Verbalize these feelings you have. I don't think it's something so big that you would even need to contemplate divorce. And if you feel the same way, tell her that. But, this issue is something that you apparent... (read in full...)

A.   27 July 2007: End "naturally?" What the heck does that mean?? I think that's a load of BS, if you ask me. If he's cheating on her, then he needs to buck up and stop wasting everyone's time. By staying with her and not "hurting" her "feelings" he's misl... (read in full...)
