A. 11 March 2009: Well obviously there is an underlying issue here but it is hard to tell from this what that is; I cant help thinking it's possible you asked her out, she said no and now is avoiding you because of that?? Something has to have happened to cause this ... (read in full...)

A. 14 February 2009: I think you are taking this a bit out of proportion mainly because of the way MSN is; you know how it is, people come online and you get distracted and dont finish typing. Did he go soon after?? Maybe he got called away from the PC or thrown off. ... (read in full...)

Q. Last week my best friend died tragically and today was her funeral. The past week has been horrendous for me. My fiance is away visiting family at the moment and has not really what I would consider supportive of my loss and grief. Today ...
A. 11 February 2009: I dont think you are being unreasonable. As she is away with her family then some allowences have to be made for her to have her own space to do that; so I would feel if you were expecting her to be in constant contact that would be unreasonable. ... (read in full...)
