“Should I Sleep With Her Husband?”

I’m in a relationship, but my partner and I are swingers. For fun, I like to browse dating/ casual encounter apps fairly regularly, for entertainment value more than anything. I rarely answer anything as I think a sizable % of posters are trolls or cheaters. However, I started seeing an profile, about once a month or so, that seemed real to me. It was from a woman who, for medical reasons, cannot have sex with her husband anymore. She was looking for someone to “take care of that” for her — a FWB for him, as she called it. I am not sure I could have done that when I was married. It…

“I’m Worried I’ll Be Homeless If My Mother Finds Out I’m a Lesbian”

I’m recently coming out later in life as a lesbian in my 30s. My mother, whom I live with and am financially dependent on, is against my lifestyle. She reacted so negatively the first time I tried to tell her that I dropped the subject. For now, she still thinks I’m heterosexual.

Living a double life of pretending to be straight at home, while only being “out” when I privately go to occasional LGBTQIA+ events, is beyond stressful. I have also talked to a psychiatrist. But everyone who…

“My Boyfriend Has Fantasized About Killing His Mother”

I am in my late 30s, and I’ve been dating a man in his late 40s for about four months now, although I’ve known him socially for several years. We were close prior to dating, and we are pretty intense about one another, complete with the “I love you’s,” spending lots of time together, etc. We have not moved in together, and we won’t be able to do so for a minimum of another year or two due to a variety of logistical reasons. However, we spend every weekend together, as well as one evening during the week. I’ve met his parents and siblings, and vice versa. We socialize as a couple…

“I Cheated With His Best Friend”

It’s time again for Shortcuts. For every question, I’ll give my advice in just a few sentences because sometimes the answer to a person’s question is so obvious and the need to hear it so great that being as clear and frank as possible is simply the best way to go. So this guy and I are not officially together, but I “really really like” him. I’m also really insecure. And last night I got really drunk and accidentally had sex with his best friend. I barely remember it, but, yeah, it happened. I’m a terrible person. I feel disgusting. I hate cheaters and now look at me. What should I do?!…
