A. 26 April 2007: No, I don't think that you should take her back. The fact that she was prepared to jump into bed with someone else so quickly after the relationship ended suggests, regardless of knowing he was your friend, she didn't exactly have that much concern ... (read in full...)

A. 26 April 2007: Suppose it depends what you want really. It probably wont be easy to get him to commit to you more thoroughly, so if you are happy to be in that position then pursue things. If not, then whether or not he'll let you go, you have the option of ... (read in full...)

A. 26 April 2007: Perhaps he feels he needs to get to the end of this 'break', and see how it goes before committing to anything else. Although you say that you wouldnt try it on with him in that situation, maybe he doesnt know that, especially as he knows that you ... (read in full...)

A. 26 April 2007: Unfortunately, it sounds like that is a bit of an excuse for something else that has gone on in his life. Clearly something has changed his mind, be it a conversation with someone or someone else being involved. Either way, I'd say that you have to ... (read in full...)

A. 26 April 2007: I think he's saying that you are depressed to try to maintain some kind of hold over you. He's even used it as an excuse to cheat on you, and using such a label upon you no doubt makes you feel worse, and in some way like you are indebted to him for ... (read in full...)

A. 26 April 2007: Whether you are right or not about this, I would still say he acted in a way that failed to respect your feelings, especially by being cocky and making promises that let you down. When it comes to ignoring you, that really isn't a good position for ... (read in full...)

A. 26 April 2007: First off, you haven't done anything wrong here, and its important that you don't go thinking you have let casual guy down. It seems to me that he wants it all ways, that he wants a situation that he can get out of as and when he pleases, but doesnt ... (read in full...)

A. 26 April 2007: I don't think that you have feelings for him, but more likely a longing to be loved, and that is not a solid foundation for a relationship. As you have said, you feel that you are quite insecure, first you need to tackle why you feel that this is ... (read in full...)

A. 26 April 2007: Perhaps he is uncomfortable about sex, or maybe thinks that you are that. Have you talked to him about past sexual encounters he has had? Its possible he might be inexperienced so you need to create a situation where he feels comfotable talking to ... (read in full...)

A. 26 April 2007: Surely if you love her to death, then you have a duty to defend her to your friends? Why exactly is it that they hate her? Is it because they perceive that she is seeing more of you than them? Or is it because you have run her down to them? ... (read in full...)

Do I stay or leave? He aint too nice to me but we still have a good time!?
Q. I don't know whether to stay with my boyfriend and try make amends or leave him. The problem is that he use to have this prejudice toward me because I am not from the same "background" as him. He use to constantly remind me that he never went out ...
A. 26 April 2007: Whatever the reason he is doing it, the simple fact is that he is not treating you with respect. Regardless of the situation he is in at work, this is not the foundation for a successful relationship.

A. 26 April 2007: It sounds to me like this bloke is probably attracted by what he can't have - a lot more attracted by the thrill of chasing you than he is in having a relationship with you. If you are interested in him, the best thing to do is to make yourself a ... (read in full...)
My friend scares me, and I want to rid her from me!
Q. I have a friend who flirts outrageously with my partner and is always telling me how much men fancy her. Everyone from the estate agent (not surprising as she has nude pictures of herself in her bedroom!)to her surgeon. She likes telling me how my ...
A. 25 April 2007: As you yourself said, 'the last straw was when'. The simple fact is that pursuing this friendship is not a productive avenue for you to chart, and you seem to have made this decision for yourself already, and you need to trust that intuition. As for... (read in full...)

A. 25 April 2007: I just think that you are running the risk of making him feel uncomfortable if you take this path - he might feel that marriage isn't for him and end up resenting you for persuading him down that particular path. Try to think about the reasons ... (read in full...)
