Nearly two years after breaking up and I'm still not over her
Q. Why do I still cry now and again over a break up that happened 20 months ago? We were together 5 years then she ended it saying she wanted to be on her own. Within a month she had someone else. Only after the break up did I discover she had...
A. 12 August 2013: Because you are grieving. You have lost the presence of someone you loved and were probably closer to than anyone ever in your life. Of course you will miss her. If someone dies, you don't stop crying for years, and even then, you will have the odd ... (read in full...)

Q. So there is an older man.. about 10 years older, I am 21... He is my superior at work. He's really smart and I find myself really attracted to him. Every time he is explaining something to me he looks at my lips while he speaks. And when he is t...

She said I need to date someone my age. What does she mean really?
Q. Dear Savants of Dear Cupid, You all have given me sage advise the numerous times I've ventured forth. You've saved me from wrecking my ship against the rocks, for which I thank you. A question: "What does this mean?" The tennis player conta...
A. 12 August 2013: It means what she said. She thinks you have much less chance of getting a 35-year-old than a 50-year-old. It's actually not a very complimentary thing to say to you, although I suppose some might see it as a 'challenge'. You were probably supposed ... (read in full...)
How can I get my ex to offer his sperm for IVF
Q. What do you all think about a woman having ivf at 45. I've always been waiting for the right moment and just out of another failed long term relationship and always wanted babies, always feel like I have missed out on that opportunity of being a ...
A. 2 July 2013: Do I think 45 is too late to have a baby? No. I think that if you haven't had one yet, you should hurry up with it.
Do I think you need a father for the child, and money? They are desirable, but if you don't have them, you don't ... any child yo... (read in full...)
I'm pregnant and my husband isn't interested in sex
Q. My husband and I are expecting our first child. I'm five months pregnant. The last couple months, since I've been showing, my husband hasn't been as interested in sex. Most of the time we do, I have to ask for it or he initiates early in the morning ...
A. 28 March 2013: I think it is because you are pregnant. He is a man, though, and it is totally natural for him to avoid talking about it and deny what he thinks is an unfair reason, but which he feels nonetheless.
The deeper his feeling about this, the less lik... (read in full...)
Should I be moving away from people I know and trying to meet new people?
Q. So I have recovered from a bad break up I had earlier this year. My ex cheated on me with one of my best friends because he just KNEW the 3 of us would be a happy polyamorous family even though I told him I wasn't down for it anymore. So instead he ...
A. 7 November 2012: Hmm. Part of me thinks that if it has crossed your mind that it might be better just to cut with the whole group, then perhaps that is what you should do. Being with this ex boyfriend of your ex friend will only remind you of the past, I think. It ... (read in full...)
Will a time ever come where I can accept what happened and move on with my boyfriend?
Q. Hi all, Ever since I aborted my unplanned pregnancy, I have felt such a great deal of guilt and sadness. I know this is to be expected but the feeling of resent and anger is becoming too much to handle. My boyfriend hurt me so much during...
A. 2 November 2012: I'm afraid that sadly, I understand totally, as have been through something very similar. I also went twice, not wanting to have this done. I also had a boyfriend who thought he 'understood', but didn't (until much, much later).

My irresponsible 17 year old sister wants to get pregnant again just because I am! Should I advise her, talk to our family or just let her make her own mistakes?
Q. Two years ago my 15 year old sister became pregnant with her daughter. Things really did not go well at first, she had trouble dealing with a newborn and was reluctant to give up her social life leaving my mother and myself no choise but to step in ...
A. 2 November 2012: Whether it is a good thing or not, I think you know she will be fine ... she will have the support, both financial and otherwise ... so actually (and I say this as a sister, so knowing how things feel!), it is just really that she is annoyingly able ... (read in full...)
Met a guy with a huge porn collection and no history of relationships!
Q. I have met a guy a month ago of 37 who sounded good on paper (we met online). He seems like a decent person but is very introvert and has a close relationship with his sister and his mum but has lived alone for 10 years. We have been gradually ...
A. 2 November 2012: I feel a bit sorry for him, but sure, he has got a bit of a problem. He can't socialise easily, and he has compensated for closeness with the porn. It really just depends on how you get on together, and if you actually like him. A lot of pointers ... (read in full...)
What does a wink from a married man mean? Friendly or flirtatious?
Q. What does a wink from a married man mean? While I was at a friend's house, her (friendly) husband winked at me while I was leaving. We were talking at the door and he winked. Previous to that, I always felt he would be happy to bump into me in ...
A. 2 November 2012: Well, I think he likes you, and he probably wishes he was with you instead of his unpleasant wife, but aside from being happy when he is with you, and flirting a little bit, I doubt he will do anything more, as he is a decent guy and would not want ... (read in full...)
Is it possible to resign yourself to a life without love?
Q. I just want to say this and get it off my chest really. Comment if you wish. I'm getting on for fifty, and have been married for twenty years, most of them unhappily. My wife suffered from serious post-partum depression after our children were bor...
A. 12 October 2012: Ok, well first of all, your wife just wants you - whether you love her or not. She'd rather have you than not, regardless of your feelings. Children are the same - they don't really factor in your happiness - they just want you there.
So, y... (read in full...)
What was my ex thinking when he wrote this message?
Q. Some background information about me: I'm 22. My ex-boyfriend broke up with me more than a year ago (yes, it's been a long time). There's a 17 year age difference between us and we were together for about 4 and a half years. We were happy toget...
A. 12 October 2012: He feels that the relationship was inappropriate because of the age gap, or that he should feel it was inappropriate. That is why he said have a 'normal' relationship with someone your own age. I don't know, and you can't know, whether he ... (read in full...)
How realistic is it for me to want to date only uncircumcised men?
Q. I know this may make me shallow, childish, immature, but it's how I feel: Three years ago I was engaged to a man from Europe. He was uncircumcised; it was not my first experience with an intact man. I loved it so much, and he was so gentle wi...
A. 4 October 2012: It is OK to want this, but it is another thing to go about achieving it. So, what if you meet a guy you really love, who might turn out to be amazing in bed, who happens to be circumcised? Life just isn't simple. And it will be pretty difficult to ... (read in full...)
He's been talking with women on webcam when he promised he wouldn't do that anymore!

A. 26 June 2012: I am really sorry.
I think you have to talk to him about this again, unfortunately, and it will have to come to the point of either he really stops, or you decide whether you can actually continue like this.

A. 7 June 2012: Don't forget that whatever you do, and whoever you lose, you will also gain the most important person in your life - your child. So this fear of being alone, etc, is based on life as you know it now - but when your baby is here, it will be a ... (read in full...)

Am I right to be jealous of my wife's new 'guy friend'? It goes so far that she even does his laundry!

A. 22 May 2012: To be honest, I absolutely don't think you should tell his wife and your parents. Why? Because you did cheat, and his wife has done nothing wrong. So now if you feel bad, you need to get over it somehow, but not in a vengeful way, by ruining his ... (read in full...)

A. 13 May 2012: You are not, in my humble opinion, gay or bi. You are just sex-starved. It is strange, though, that no porn turns you on - but maybe that is because despite your strong sex drive, you have not yet even begun to explore your self, and you have no ... (read in full...)
