Married with three children, living south of London in the UK.
And what qualifies me to help people? Many things, I guess, but not least because I had many tempestuous (I like that word) relationships before I finally settled with my permanent partner and realised how fulfilling a long-term relationship can be. |

If he was going to feel something for me wouldn't he have by now?
Q. I am going crazy. Just had to go to Dr. yesterday and got Rx for Xanax. I have lost 13 pounds in the last two weeks. This is why: I met a guy who really felt like my soul mate. We met July 31 and have gone out every Fri and Sat since then. The ...
A. 2 October 2009: Ask him, and tell him you really like him a lot, but don't push him. More relationships falter because of lack of communication than anything else.

Q. When my boyfriend of 5 years gets drunk says like im ugly, I need to lose Weight and many more. One night we went to a night club and he got drunk (again) and started hitting the waitress in front of me. When she left, I give him hell. He told me ...

A. 28 June 2008: If he doesn't eat ANY veg or fruit, what does he eat? You say "junk food", but that covers a wide range - and one person's perception of what is junk food doesn't necessarily coincide with another's.
