A. 31 October 2011: Hi sweetheart. I can relate. It sounds like you are scared of being hurt again. If you don't get involved, then you don't risk getting your heart broken again. Even though you say you are over your past relationships, you are still healing, and you ... (read in full...)
My bf is convinced I'm in love with my friend (which I'm not!) and now he wants to speak to my friend's pregnant and emotional wife to see how she feels about our friendship!!
Q. I have been with my boyfriend (I will name "Ned") for about 17 years. "Ned" broke up with me about two and a half years ago saying I wasn't "the one" and he wanted to find her and didn't want to waste more time with me. I had wanted to get ...

A. 31 October 2011: I'm not going to judge your relationship with Ned. 17 years is a long time and quite complex to be sure. Although i have to say that Ned does come across in your letter as quite immature for a man in his late 30's.
You sound so lovely and kind... (read in full...)
