Boyfriend made me throw up from his comments

Q.   After a comment my boyfriend made about my weight I started to throw up food after eating it I know I shouldn't I know it can cause a lot of health issues but if I don't do it ill sit their biting my nails feeling really anxious until I do it. I ...

A.   9 November 2010: Ditch this guy. You may not want to hear this but that is so cruel it disgusts me. I have a sister who has battled image issues and eating disorders for 10 years and I keep this issue close to my chest. 5'7 and 140 lbs? That's not big at all! Not ... (read in full...)

I'm falling in love with her and falling out of love with myself.

Q.   I'm a shorter guy, 5'6 and 1/2. I've always been subconsciously self-conscious about my height but it's never really bothere me too much as it's taught me to grow in other areas such as a good sense of humor, empathy, my creative side, and ...

A.   9 November 2010: Thanks again guys. KeeThe last poster makes a good point that I've mulled over time and time again. Society does put norms on these sorts of things. I really want to beat this and get over it. For the same reasons women have horrible expectations to ... (read in full...)

Her sexual past bothers me!

Q.   I have been married for quite some years and I didn't ask about her past. But it came up. I told her that it was before me and it should not matter. Sooner or later it would come up, she has had numerous sexual partners in 3 years and none of ...

A.   8 November 2010: My brother has had similar issues with women he's dated. I don't think there is anything wrong at all with you feeling this way. I say continue to expose yourself to these thoughts because they will toughen you up. Time will also help. And as others ... (read in full...)

No matter what I do, I can't seem to bring him to the point of ejaculation!

Q.   OK - how to put this delicately...! I have been with my boyfriend for over a year now, and in many ways we do have a satisfying sex life - from my point of view at least, and he seems to enjoy it to. The thing I worry about is that no matter w...

A.   8 November 2010: Approach it as empathetically as possible. But not with sympathy. Don't treat it like a problem or you'll only make him more more self conscious about it. If I were him, It'd be nice to just have you open up and tell him that it's ok. Tell him that... (read in full...)

My bf broke up with me because he said he was getting too attached to me!!

Q.   Hi My bf broke up with me today saying like he is getting more involved and attached to me which is affecting his other things in life. So he wants to break up. How can he say like this, i can see we are prefect for each other. We literally comple...

A.   8 November 2010: All of these answers make some very good points. As a guy, I can give you the best possible advise as I see it. Nobody here knows this guy as well as you do, so it's up to you to accurately gauge where his feelings are at. What we can do i... (read in full...)

A.   8 November 2010: I can help with this. What is going on with your boyfriend is almost certainly pyschological. Is he taking any medications for depression or anxiety? This could also delay orgasm. I know you desperately want to please him but don't put it all on y... (read in full...)

Is he using his depression as a cop out?

Q.   My ex boyfriend broke up with me 6 weeks ago because he was depressed and didn't know what he wanted he said he needed time to figure things out. He said we may get back together in the future but we may not. Anyways i tried to do things like send ...

A.   8 November 2010: "bjo84 what do you mean you used depression as a sort of cop out? Can you tell me about this?" I'm an honest person but I couldn't reveal to her that I was depressed not just with myself but also with her. She wasn't invigorating or enrichin... (read in full...)

A.   8 November 2010: "And, to be honest, if you do talk to her about this, understand that everyone has their limits." When you say this, what do you mean specifically? ... (read in full...)

A.   8 November 2010: Thanks everybody. I loath myself for thinking so superficially. I know that all of you are correct in your assessments. What bothers me more than 'the inch' is the fact that it actually bothers me at all. You know? It's not the right way of ... (read in full...)

If he's into me, why doesn't he just call me?

Q.   First, I apologize if this question is too obvious or stupid. But all through hs and well into college, I dated the same guy. That was 6 years of my life. I don't have dating experience, I'm awkward at it, etc. I would like your opinion on if th...

A.   8 November 2010: He could be a shy guy. He could be cautious from previous heartbreaks. He could just be romantically inept. It's really hard to say from what you described. Maybe he's a really guy. Maybe he's not as into you as you are into him? He may not be ... (read in full...)

A.   8 November 2010: He is clearly not happy. Sure it may be a copout but depression is a real thing that can have very serious impact on someone's life. The question I would ask yourself is this: so he says he is depressed, is he also seeking out the kind of help he ... (read in full...)

I don't know if she really is under stress or am I just tripping?

Q.   So here's the setup. I've been with the girl for about a month and a half. We are both 19 and in the same college, and live quite close. She is my first girlfriend, but she has had several boyfriends before me. In the beginning we were quite close...

A.   8 November 2010: I've been through some similar situations. Unfortunately, they all turned out negatively. I'm sure she is stressed out. But my point is that usually if one is stressed out they turn to their partner to help talk through and alleviate that stress- ... (read in full...)

I'm tired of this double standard relationship. Is it time to let go?

Q.   Here it goes. I've been with my bf for over two years. We have amazing chemistry unlike any I've known. He tells me daily he loves me, compliments me says the sweetest things at times to me. Also, speaks a lot of marriage. The problem is he's ...

A.   8 November 2010: You can't allow yourself to be intruded like that. As a male, you need to tell this guy how it is or let go. I'm sure he loves you but clearly he has some security issues. You can't blame him for that but only accept it. If you're not willing to let ... (read in full...)

A.   8 November 2010: Your young. The best advice I can give you is to not try to be anything that a guy wants. Learn to explore yourself and the core values that you want. That way you will be able to hone in on your strengths and offerings to the opposite sex. If a guy ... (read in full...)

Q.   Ok....I know I'm asking a lot of questions in a relatively short time but I'm stuck in a hard place at the moment....Ok so me and this girl went to her cabin with her family over the weekend. We where supposed to be "just friends" But last night I ...

A.   8 November 2010: She doesn't love you like you want her to love you. You're young and have much to learn. Love is a budding thing and takes years to full develope into something that sticks around. Love is work. Love is pain. Love is joy. Love is hate. Love is ... (read in full...)

Q.   hello every one now my gf has ADHD and i've been with her for well over a year she takes meds for it but i want to know because of her condition can it lead to problems with our relationship?...

A.   8 November 2010: I don't really think it's going to affect your relationship if you're willing to learn to copy with it. Clearly she is being proactive about it and taking medications to help her out but ADHD is not a relationship threatening disorder. Sure she ... (read in full...)

Q.   last summer in Spain I met the guy of my life, kind, cute, attractive, masculine, intelligent. After few dates he told me he already took vows of chastity/poverty because he wants to be a priest (Jesuit). I was in shock, but I decided to keep going ...

A.   8 November 2010: Life is hard that way. It is especially difficult when circumstances like these get in the way. Emotion complicates things even more so. Try to keep a logical perspective. I know it's difficult but try. It's not going to be easy letting him go. You ... (read in full...)
