I've got the life experience to be wise for others, not so wise for myself. A degree in psych doesn't hurt either. So when I respond to people while I may just give advice, I'm more inclined to ask you questions that make you think and make you HURT and figure out what to do....

Choices I make are made on years of experience and may not be the best choices for YOU but what I do and what I advise may be two different things. Like I've said I KNOW what's the BEST thing to do and do not always choose to do what's BEST for me.

My primary interests include age gap relationships where the woman is older than the man... I am 13 years older than my future husband... I am also currently very interested in 12 step programs and addiction and recovery

and Long distance relationships...

I also understand alternative lifestyles as I was a "swinger" in my last marriage and I am a bisexual woman although currently I am just with my one male partner by choice...

NEVER STAY WHERE YOU ARE UNHAPPY NO MATTER WHAT. DO not make the same mistakes I made.

Rules:

IF YOU HAVE AN UNEASY FEELING IT'S FOR A GOOD REASON.. listen to that little voice

NEVER EVER trust a liar. IF they lied once, they could lie again. IF you dont' trust them there's a reason for it. LISTEN to it.

IF you have to ASK if you should leave... just do it.

We don't know WHY someone did something... only why WE would do it... so you have to ASK THEM.

IF you are afraid to ASK your PARTNER anything.. it's not a good relationship and you should probably end it.

IF he only calls when he's horny at 2 am you are a booty call nothing more....

Old cliches:

Women need a reason to have sex; men just need a place

Do as I say not as I do

Q.   I think I might be gay/bi...HELP!? I'm a 20 year old female and I am so confused it's driving me nuts! I can't seem to enjoy sex with a man at ALL, I've been having sex for 4 years now and haven't had an orgasm once with a man. I can do it myself...

A.   18 February 2014: just because you don't have an orgasm during sex with a guy does not make you gay or bisexual. MOST women do not orgasm from straight intercourse. (less than 30%) It would be like asking a man to orgasm from having his scrotum stroked. It's jus... (read in full...)

Was it wrong to accept an expensive gift from my male gay best friend? I think it's made my boyfriend jealous or uncomfortable.

Q.   My gay male best friend whom I have known for a year recently took me out for my birthday. He took me to a restaurant that neither my boyfriend and I can afford, and also gifted me a Burberry scarf ($400 value). I had already known which ...

A.   18 February 2014: I think like I see it has the best response. your friend gave you a gift and a dinner he could afford that he clearly put thought into. I think your boyfriend is not insecurely jealous in thinking that you like your friend more but tha... (read in full...)

My boyfriend is acting sneaky with his laptop and phone!

Q.   I live with my boyfriend of 5 years and have always trusted him but have been noticing recently that he acts sneaky with his phone and laptop. If I come into the room he will swipe everything off his page so that I can't see he also always makes ...

A.   18 February 2014: Nope he's hiding something.... and that something is the "work friend" if it's new behavior then it's even more concerning. I would not go through his phone or his laptop. I would tell him that you believe that there is something up w... (read in full...)

Who am I to criticise his looks?

Q.   I am 5'4 and quite short. I generally date guys of 6' and have always been very drawn to tall dark haired men 5'11 and above. I have met someone who is really nice and we get in really well. I am finding it hard to adapt to the fact he is quit...

A.   18 February 2014: You have nothing to be ashamed of. You have "a type" you prefer tall dark men... no crime there... you are not criticizing him or his physical attributes. you are just saying they do not appeal to you... trust me they will appeal to someo... (read in full...)

Am I crazy to feel this way, to feel invisible?

Q.   So, I am currently in my second to last year of high school. Junior Year (11th Grade), man time has flew by. The town I currently live in isn't exactly a place I like. My family and I moved here 6 years ago (6th grade) because we simply needed a ...

A.   18 February 2014: think about all the very popular people. The folks at the very top... THEY have peaked already. PEAKING IN HIGH SCHOOL IS THE BEST THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE... You have your whole life ahead of you and in the long run you will be more balanced... (read in full...)

Husband belittles me in front of friends and family. I want to leave him, but is there any way I can correct the situation?

Q.   I became very resentfull toward my husband. The main reason is that he complains to people about me. He doesn't complain to everyone but certain people. Like this couple that we don't see very much often, may be every couple months. Usually ...

A.   18 February 2014: I hear you 100% and I understand. Sometimes people are just clueless about how their feelings affect their behavior and words. Last night my husband was being snarky and nasty at dinner... and when we got home I asked him "are you angry a... (read in full...)

He lied, and his real age has freaked me out!

Q.   Making this short because I just recently found out. I don't know how to tell any of my friends about this either but I've been dating this guy I work with for about 2 months and all this time I thought he was 25 because that's what he told me. He ...

A.   17 February 2014: if my math is right.. then you are 19 to his 37... 16 years. which if you were 30 and he was 46 would not phase me at all... The bigger issue is he lied. The fact that HE lied to you and you trusted him is nothing to be ashamed of. ... (read in full...)

A.   12 February 2014: OP I have to tell you, that while I am a big supporter of Age gap relationships, as the OLDER partner (by 13 years) to my spouse, it's hard even with our much smaller gap. As for children, I'm nearly 54 and maybe it's different for men but at 4... (read in full...)
