A.   18 May 2005: Do you think about your girl all the time? Does you constantly slip in and out of your thoughts? Do you think that you world would fall apart if she was not in it? If you said yes then you are in love and she may be the one for you at this moment ... (read in full...)

Q.   I am engaged to be married - I started this new job and I am VERY attracted to someone here that is single and we flirt back and forth often. I want to ask this person to hang out but I don't know what to do about my fiance. Please help! ...

A.   18 May 2005: You are engaged. So that means that you are planning on spending the rest of your life with one person. No more "hanging out ie kissing, making out, sex" with anyone else. Right? You can't be engaged and date. The two don't go together. They ... (read in full...)

I get irritated when my b/f tells me to "relax", even when I know it's the right thing to do...

Q.   I've been having quite a strained relationship with my bf lately. Firstly we don't really see each other very often, only about once a week, so we don't have the luxury of time when it comes to solving our issues. He feels that I need to relax mo...

A.   18 May 2005: Try this. When you are talking about a problem say" I just need you to listen to me. I don't need any advice and I don't need you to try to solve it. I just need to talk and I need you to listen." Maybe by talking out your problem without ... (read in full...)

I just don't trust him any more. Is it time to let him go, or do we try to work it out?

Q.   I have been dating this guy for 2 years. He was controlling, and for a while I thought I'd be the one breaking up with him. He came back home from college because he was homesick and then found an apartment, where he moved in, with his cousin. I...

A.   18 May 2005: You can't love someone you can't trust. You will always be wondering where he is and what he is doing, and if he is just stringing you along. Take a break from him. Go out on some other dates with some men. Play the field. Then if you feel that ... (read in full...)

A.   17 May 2005: Don't ask her to marry you. Not yet anyway. She needs help. Professional help. Anyone who can try to take their own life is seriuosly depressed. Tell her you love her, but you want her to get counseling. Tell her you will go with her. Then if ... (read in full...)

It's painful to be without my ex... How do I get this off my mind?

A.   17 May 2005: The first thing you must realize is that you can not make a person change. No matter how bad you are hurting, no matter how much you want it, no matter how much you miss her, you can not make her change the way she feels about you. And that total... (read in full...)

Q.   I'm a 22 year old girl and I very quickly fell in love with someone and then he abruptly finished it. Although it was only a few weeks we had grown very close and spent as much time as we could together. There was no real warning that it was going ...

A.   17 May 2005: You don't mention if sex is involved. Is it? Is he calling you up, and you think that you might work things out and get back together and he thinks that he has someone he can have a quickie with? Love hurts. And it is never easy. But if th... (read in full...)

A.   17 May 2005: Two years in a relationship is a long time, and your very married guy doesn't deserve another chance, but I have been in your shoes. I know exactly how you will feel if you don't give him one more chance. I don't like saying give him an ultimatum... (read in full...)

A.   16 May 2005: I don't know if you can help him. I just think that he is busy living his life and that he wants you to live his life. Are you moving to where he is to be with him? I hope not. If you are moving for a job or family or other reasons then tha... (read in full...)

A.   13 May 2005: Having an affair is hard work. Maybe he just couldn't handle it any more. Maybe he got caught. Maybe he realized that seeing two women was not the best thing to do. Maybe he is trying to decide which women he wants to be with. Maybe he met ... (read in full...)

My b/f says he loves me, but we never talk and he doesn't want to spend time with me...

Q.   I have been with my boyfriend for 2 years,. Things were great at first, but now he hardly talks to me. I was supposed to move in with him about two months ago, but didn't. He says he loves me, but I'm not so sure. He goes out drinking with his frie...

A.   13 May 2005: The problem in this relationship can be any number of things. I doubt seriously that you are the problem. Moving in with someone is a huge and very scary commitment. It is more than just "playing house." It is spending time together, talking, ... (read in full...)

A.   13 May 2005: I would do what she asks you to do. Be patient. She has her own personal problems to work through. If she cares for you and feels the same way for you, then she will not forget you. Maybe once she works through her own problems she will contact ... (read in full...)

I kicked him out after he cheated. Now I wonder if he'll ever reform his ways...

Q.   My live in boyfriend cheated on me last year by getting a happy ending massage. I found a credit card receipt for the massage parlor hanging out of his wallet. (Obviously, he's not that witty when it comes to covering his tracks). It was deva...

A.   12 May 2005: Once a cheater always a cheater. That is the rule. And if your guy is the exception to the rule, that is a good thing. But can you trust him again. You will always be wondering if he is where he says he is, if he is doing what he says he is ... (read in full...)

A.   12 May 2005: It sounds like your friend just wants to vent. So let her. Don't offer any advice. Just listen to her. Then if she asks for your advice, be honest, just say, I don't think that I can help you with this problem, but I know of a good therapist who ... (read in full...)
