“My Boyfriend Did Drugs and Lied About It”

A couple years ago I had a serious problem with using some hard drugs (cocaine and MDMA mainly). It spiraled out of control, and I nearly died. I was a missing person for six weeks and was physically and mentally abused and ruined. I then met my boyfriend who helped me in ways I will always be grateful for. He picked me up, and fed me back to a healthy size. I now work in the same company as he does as a manager and we couldn’t be happier. He has always told me he’d be done with me if I ever touched any drug again, and he has never ever had…

“I Don’t Want to be His Secret Anymore”

I’ve been in an long-distance relationship for two months. It’s the first LDR for both of us. Our relationship is not only complicated by distance, but there is also another element. Let’s just say our families are close and we don’t know how they would feel about us getting together. He’s 46 and I’m 43. Neither of us has ever been married. We live four states away. We’re secret lovers and I’m not cool with that, but I don’t see any other way. We’ve flirted with each other in years past and have come close to getting together, but I hesitated to go there. Two months ago I called him to check…

Your Turn: “My Boyfriend is Too Close to His Sister-in-Law”

I have been with my boyfriend for 10 months but have known him for many years since we attended the same school. He and his sister-in-law are too close for comfort for my liking. They share many secrets which her husband does not know about and they seem to confide in each other a lot and he can’t say a bad word about her. In fact, he can’t shut up about how amazing she is at everything. I have, for some time, had a strong gut feeling that there is more to this than meets the eye. I believe she’s jealous of me, even though we always used to get along. She’s…

Updates: “Ex Effect” Responds

It’s time again for “Dear Wendy Updates,” a feature where people I’ve given advice to in the past let us know whether they followed the advice and how they’re doing now. Today, we hear from “Ex Effect” who wondered if she really was as stupid as her friends, family and Google said she was for dating her ex again. Keep reading to see whether they’re still together and if she’s made peace with her decision.

“Her Mom Loves Me, But She Does Not”

I’m 22 years old and over the summer I dated this girl I fell in love with. But it wasn’t a 50/50 relationship. I seemed to be doing most of the work. So, one night about three months in, I confronted her about it. She was ready to end it there because she told me that “the spark was gone.” And that she “wasn’t feeling it anymore.” Obviously, it hurt, and I told her to give it more time to see if we could reboot the relationship. She said she knew it wasn’t gonna work, but my wish was granted. Ever since then, I began to watch myself. I tried really hard…

Quickies: “Should I Move in With My Much Older Boyfriend?”

I’m 20 years old and my boyfriend is 33 years old. He brings all the happiness and motivates me everyday to be a better person and strive to reach my goals. He’s always there for me and never fails to remind me and show me how much he loves me. I’ve met his side of the family, get along with all of them, and occasionally bond with them. My parents pay my rent right now along with school tuition. However, I’m ready to branch off and do it on my own. My boyfriend and I are thinking of moving in together. We know each other’s habits and dislikes, and we have seen…
