Q.   I have been married for a year and I am still in school. My mother is still paying for my tuition and not my husband. My mother does not want me to get pregnant because she wants me to graduate then work to build my future so I can be comfortable. ...

A.   18 March 2015: Put your career first, so that you can earn a comfy future for your family. Your husband will just have to understand that and respect it. Encourage one another to get a career. Then when you are ready to settle down, have kids. I've been with my p... (read in full...)

Should I just ask him where we stand, or would that push him away entirely?

Q.   I'm still confused, and I'm starting to think that this guy I used to date now only sees me as friend. There has been a change in the physical/ sexual part of our relationship, but nothing else has changed. He's not seeing anyone else, and he said ...

A.   18 March 2015: Are you two fuck buddies at the moment? Because you mentioned that a physical/sexual aspect has changed. If that's the case, if you want more or just want to know what's happening, I think you should ask him. If he tells you that you're both just... (read in full...)

A.   18 March 2015: Your husband shouldn't have allowed your mother-in-law to invite herself. He should understand why you're still hurt. Just because she's ill or whatever, doesn't give her the god damn right to use it to control people to bend at her will. It's sic... (read in full...)

Repressed memories of abuse are coming back to me, and now I don't want my mother in my childs life

Q.   When I lived at home, my mother and I were at loggerheads. She and I never got on. I was a hard teenager to deal with in fairness, my attitude was terrible, although I never did anything really bad. One time, when my mother was giving me a ...

A.   18 March 2015: You need to remember that as the years went by, you came out of your shell and stood up to that monster. You slapped your Mum. You changed the dynamics of the relationship. With that being said, you have the strength to tell your Mum "no" or tell ... (read in full...)

I don't want to seem pushy so how do I let him know I am interested?

A.   12 March 2015: If you slept with him, then he's a dog that you shouldn't bother pursuing. He put in his effort to get sex, and since you gave it to him, he doesn't see a reason to try anymore. Unfortunately on dating sites, men go on there for that. IF you ha... (read in full...)

Q.   My girlfriend constantly calls me daddy during sex. She also likes to role play that she is 13 and I'm her father coming to her bedroom when everyone else is asleep. Her father is deceased but I know from her mother that they, my gf and her dad, ...

A.   11 March 2015: If it makes you feel uncomfortable, then you should talk to her. Although, I do worry because you said she can't reach orgasm unless the Daddy element is part of things. So as I said before, if you're truly uncomfortable then you SHOULD definite... (read in full...)

A.   10 March 2015: He manipulated you and I think deep down, you know this. If at first you didn't think you were wrong, you probably weren't. He was using you as an emotional punch bag, taking stuff out on you, trying to wear you down. Be thankful he is out of y... (read in full...)

Is it normal for my fiance to call his parents and check in with them when we go somewhere

Q.   A little background. When my fiancé was in his late 20's he was in bad car accident and he was in a coma for 3 weeks and rehab and then went home after 3 months. That sent his parents into a frantic mode, which would be a normal response to that ...

A.   10 March 2015: You both need to compromise. He needs to keep his conversations short and polite on the phone. Or even a text. And you need to allow him to do that. Tell him he can save the conversation of telling his parents what the place is like, for when he ... (read in full...)

I'm falling for him but I don't know how he feels about me

A.   10 March 2015: The fact you don't even know if he has a girlfriend suggests you may not know him that well. Get to know him more, his life etc, before you decide to take things any further ... (read in full...)

Curious, maybe even suspicious...

Q.   My girlfriend constantly calls me daddy during sex. She also likes to role play that she is 13 and I'm her father coming to her bedroom when everyone else is asleep. Her father is deceased but I know from her mother that they, my gf and her dad, ...

A.   10 March 2015: If you question her about this now, you risk ruining how she feels sexually. Right now, if she's comfortable around you enough to share fantasies, why ruin it? Yes it may be weird, but there are far more weird things out there. If you feel unco... (read in full...)

Why would a guy want me to meet his family this early?

Q.   After a day of knowing him, his mum apparently knew about me and he was wanting me to be introduced to his auntie when I saw him that night(as she was also in the area)....

A.   10 March 2015: Tell him you think things are moving a bit fast. On the one hand it's nice that he want's you to see his family, but on the other hand, it's so early, you don't even know if this will go anywhere yet. Plus you don't want them to form an opinion of y... (read in full...)

Am I reading too much into this question?

Q.   Hi recently one of my guy friends who I occasionally make out with (when there's nobody else) texted me that I looked hot at a party we both recently went to. A bit later after we were flirting and joking (like usual) he said "can I check where yo...

A.   10 March 2015: If you don't have feelings for the guy, you should consider cutting ties. Or at least distance yourself. Because it seems he has grown feelings for you. Maybe you need to consider the fact that maybe you do actually like him but you've been play... (read in full...)

A.   7 March 2015: If you want help, ask for it. Yes he hear's your problems, all the time. Yes he gives lifts (which btw you should be grateful for because that's helping out), yes he has the money. But maybe he doesn't want you to see him as a piggy bank that'll ... (read in full...)

Trust is in tatters. He wants me to leave. What can I do? It was not my fault that an ex sent me photos.

Q.   When I met my boyfriend I told him that a couple of years ago I got involved with a married man, but that I saw my error and nothing come of it. Today when I got home my boyfriend sent his daughter out and said that we needed to talk in private....

A.   7 March 2015: Have you given your boyfriend a reason to look on your phone? Usually a person doesn't feel threatened like that in a relationship unless they have been provoked, either by insecurities or their other half. For example, the daughter's mother i... (read in full...)

A.   7 March 2015: Your applying pressure without realising it. You've made your needs clear to him already. You want more. But he has made it clear to you, that he isn't ready yet. The best thing to do, is to just be there as a friend. Buy him some essential oil ... (read in full...)

A.   7 March 2015: As cute as this all is, it is jeopardising. I think the way around it starts by doing this. Confessing. If it's been a really long time and you still haven't gotten over your crush, you need to tell him. For example; "Hello, I'm finding it diffi... (read in full...)

A.   7 March 2015: If you don't get out now, then you'll end up with a kid in the equation and then next episode of Jeremy Kyle. Go to a citizens advice bureau. Tell them your debts and loan and set up a plan of what you can pay on you're own. Leave him. Either tell... (read in full...)
