Each to their own. I know loads of buddies who would be sad if not married and would marry almost anyone rather than be single. And others are real p...
@neilwsutton Love your sense of humour. You sound bright but let your sense of humour over ride common sense though. Why don't you give sensible advi...
If she speaks french and you do not how did you get together and get married in the first place? Seems very odd to me. If I had been advising you befo...
@jennybuechler Terrific advice my dear. You would make a great professional well paid agony aunt. Sign up on the directory so they can pay you for you...
Terrific. Now you have to show that you can read and write and follow simple instructions, otherwise what use will you be to these poor souls that nee...
Yes. Either you wait and hope that he changes his mind, or you endure this, which is making you sad, or you walk away altogether from this person, or...
It's simple. If you have not found it in your heart to be brave enough to ask her out by now you probably never will. Which is a shame because you cou...
When unsure do not do more than you have to. If the choice is dating the person or marrying them you only date them, you may even date them just casua...
Catching someone at it is horrible, it is not so bad if the relationship has run it's course and you do not love them and want to be with them, but st...
Why is getting married the be all and end all of everything? Believe me it is just a piece of paper. Plenty of people change their mind after getting ...
Maybe a good chat with a therapist would be helpful here. You don't have a terrible problem like drinking or insomnia or anger so it's not "urgent" an...
Ok you like her. Maybe she likes you. You posted this a little while ago so what has changed since then? Did you ask her out or tell her how you feel?...
Sorry but I believe that any mother should protect her daughter from men if she can. One of the things about a woman with a young daughter is she must...
Sounds good. But is it that good? Some guys are good wit the jobs and money but as boring as hell. Or crap at sex. Or always busy with diy, friends, g...
The sad thing is you may miss her forever, for the rest of your life. The great thing is that you met her and had her and many have never had such a ...
Having read what you said I sort of get it more now. Think guys going into a chat room to try to get laid, especially old ones or married ones, is dis...
Found the first one to be nothing special, he wore braces and had a lisp, a funny laugh and a wonky eye but I still liked him a lot. We were at schoo...
I knew a woman who stayed with her husband because he was a minister. She lived for her daughters and grandkids, and would spend most of her time bein...
Sorry but I must agree with a lot of what has been said here. I've known women to go for married men and in most cases they were naive and living in a...
You toss a coin? It may be as good a way as any. You could sleep on it, talk about it, make a list of pros and cons, and it can all shift and change i...
Incest destroys the victim. Once the person has been forced, manipulated, seduced or used in this way they are never the same, a shadow of former self...
If you love each other and got it right get married, no point to pissing about and sort of being together instead. If you are unsure then date instea...
Looking for an agony aunt job? Good idea... work out if you prefer to be self employed and have lots of individual clients all over the World. You cal...
Dear. Think , stop, hesitate, before any of this playfulness. It may be a joyful fun thing to do at the time, and make you feel supreme and special if...
About time they sorted out this stuff for good, too fuzzy and confusing. Some of the people are quick to cry stalking or rape when you not even doing...
Being caught is just one part of it, doing it in first place and why you do it in first place is 99% of it. Even if you are not caught it all ends in ...
REMEMBER that if you hire someone as a professional friend - for company - this has nothing to do with sex. These people are not sex workers. They are...

Your children are probably the same age as her - have left home and grown and got jobs. So you are not with wife for the sake of the children, fibber....
Not sure why getting married is so important? Apart from a piece of paper what do you gain by it? If you see various guys without being married nobod...
If it were me I would be very unsure too - there seems to be good both ways. Sleep on it for a bit cause once you get back in touch you cannot undo it...
I agree with Grateful - even if this were a long standing and serious relationship she has no rights like this, and he has no right to expect it. If h...
There is one born every minute I fear and I've seen stuff about this too. It's always the same. The poor or ugly or older one gets it into the head t...
This makes sense to me too. You can often regret things you do in a rush, it can be foolhardy to get all worked up about something and you could get i...
If someone had said this to me I would be furious. Why would this appeal to someone? For one thing she wants friends not people whose house she is cle...
Just spit it out for God's sake! How can she decide that you are worthy of her time if you are so shy? She wants a man, someone with backbone and pers...

Relationships with relationships can be full of difficulties. Some of them try to influence you or control you, in a way that you would not tolerate f...
I found out my long term partner of 14 years has been having a whole other life for the last 10 months. I thought he was away working and he has been ...
This lady you speak of sounds very much like a needy child. Why would you always be there for her as if you have no life or needs of your own? It beg...
I work from home so I'd change part of what you say into working rather than going to work. I much prefer working from home for loads of different rea...
I would love to help but doubt I could sort out my own husband let alone yours! Write a list of all of their good points and bad points and give high...
Gee this stinks. Dust yourself off and hold head high and carry on, showing him you upset just makes them happy and they get big kick out of knowing s...
Not much fun to have to watch what you can and cannot eat so carefully, but it could be worse, you could get that thing that means you cannot eat glu...
I agree. I know people like this, they gorge on huge fatty meals covered in salt, drink fizzy drinks and alcohol all of the time. If you go out with t...
This is a serious thing, I find it amazing people talk as if this is almost nothing. You need to think clearly of how you want to proceed with this as...
I used to work at a hairdresser where the people were always going on about their arguments with their boyfriends or their husbands. Sometimes this wo...
You are so lucky. My family are the pits. Nasty pieces of shite. My mother wanted to sell me to old married men and all she cared about was getting th...
I've met guys who want me to get into all of this dirty stuff - no thanks. To me there are two types of guys, the ones who are normal and nice and get...
I had bought a lot of houses with the money I worked hard for, but found it was a lot of hassle to see to tenants, who would sometimes be very difficu...
afraid so - why are you with this person please? if it is because you love him please ask yourself why this is?
If it were me I would go for the professional listener. I know lots of people I can mix with and have a good time with but it's much more difficult to...
Yes it can be good fun, a lot of fun, even for the professional friend not just the customer. Both need to be cautious about the whole experience thou...
What a big fuss about something so unimportant. Lots of men flirt, most women just accept it and don't care. They flirt too.
It's about ups and downs, learning, being you, suffering and being happy.
Sounds great. I try to walk too but don't get enough time to do five miles each day. Will try to increase it. I understand that you have to do rapid w...
Live one day at a time, forget the future, it may never happen
Are you making this all up? Lots of guys dream of having two girls, either they don't get them or it all blows up in their face later.
A chance to patch things up maybe eh? Try.
I too love my Christmas, but please try to get it in context. It is only a few days of year at most. You must enjoy the rest of the year too.
Are you serious? Why would a rich good looking young man want to marry you? He can get a good looking, young, gorgeous woman less than half your age, ...
Just tell her you like her lots.
