Is a tumor an STD?
Q. Hi, my girlfriend of four years found out from a doctor over three weeks ago that she has a tumor in her ear. We were devastated by the news but we're doing the best we can to cope with it. She's already scheduled for a surgery. While sitting ...
A. 2 June 2014: How on earth did that dawn on you? A tumour is a mutation of cells that don't die when they are supposed to. If a tumour were sexually transmitted, which it is not, it would not end up in her ear.
You are over-thinking the whole thing and tryi... (read in full...)

A. 25 May 2014: Don't wait around for 3 months. You've been in a relationship with this guy for over a year, at this point you shouldn't be holding back because you're worried about scaring him off. Tell him what you want, and if he still "isn't ready", leave and ... (read in full...)
He was so eager to see me. Then we had sex. Is he now fobbing me off? If yes, then why?
Q. I want an honest opinion, please don't judge me. I met a guy on a night out a month ago in a different city. We talked every single day via messaging/phone calls ect. a significant amount. We agreed on a date for him to come and see me at my pla...
A. 25 May 2014: A lot of people will tell you that as a woman you shouldn't have sex with a guy early on because you'll be seen as easy or promiscuous. It's total bullshit, sexist and unfair, but we live in a sexist world and unfortunately a lot of men do operate ... (read in full...)

Q. Could some one advise me what to do please? I have found my boyfriend to be registering on different date sites. This is the fourth time I found out about it now. He says its just for a laugh and unregisters from them, but then secretly registers on ...
A. 25 May 2014: Why? Because he can. Obviously if it's happened at least 4 times and you're still together, he's no longer worried about the relationship breaking down as he can get away with it. The only one who's laughing here is him, at you. He doesn't respect ... (read in full...)

Q. My husband is in jail for domestic violence and going to get deported. When I visit him he calls me names and threatens me and makes comments about other women in the room to try and make me feel jealous. After the visit he will call me and ...
A. 21 March 2014: The short answer is, because he is abusive and you allow him to treat you like that by continuing to visit him. He's in jail and he's facing deportation. Two perfect excuses to get a divorce and never contact him again. Let everything you say to him ... (read in full...)
My boy keeps lying to me, but insists that he loves me and only me?
Q. Alright so before you tell me to just "dump his ass", actually think about this. Basically, the guy I'm with right now is the best guy ever. I love him to death. And he loves me. He does so much for me, as do his parents. Through his life, he has a...

I quit drinking and now my friend is acting weird and I feel uncomfortable.

A. 24 January 2014: People who drink too much and then stop often lose a lot of their so-called friends. It's happened to me and it's happened to many people I know. People have bought me alcohol when I've asked for a soft drink, "for a laugh". Even people I used to ... (read in full...)

A. 8 September 2013: If all you have to go on is that she might have been wearing your hairband on her wrist in a photo then you are reading waaaaay too much into things and clutching at straws. Hairbands are pretty impersonal, I lose them all the time, so do others, ... (read in full...)

A. 8 September 2013: Tap dancing classes and what drink he likes are not really reliable indicators of his sexuality. If he likes kissing boys, then yeah he's probably gay, but liking the taste of vanilla? What, a straight guy can't possibly like vanilla?
If you like... (read in full...)
