“My Ex-Boyfriend Won’t Leave Me Alone”

I have an ex-boyfriend I’ll call K whom I went out with three years ago. We dated for about eight months and he broke up with me very suddenly for reasons I still have not gotten a clear answer on. Whenever I have asked him why he broke up with me, he usually replies, “I don’t know” or “I was too busy with work and track,” which sounds like nice ways of saying “I got tired of you.” Anyhow, immediately after the break-up we tried to be friends, which was a huge mistake. It was really an easy way for him to get all the benefits of a girlfriend without the label…

“My Friend Attacked Me at a Wedding”

My friend Lacy and I were seated next to each other at our friend’s wedding reception. After dinner but before cake (I remember because I missed cake!), out of the blue, under the guise of being a “concerned friend,” Lacy tore into me. She began criticizing me about things that were none of her business and things she did not even have direct knowledge of. She called me pathetic and claimed to be worried about me because in the last two weeks I had slept with my ex-boyfriend (not true), made out with a married guy at a bar (true), and tried to get another guy at a bar to go home…

“My Boyfriend Won’t Let Me Travel with My Friends”

I’m 21 years old and my boyfriend of a year is 24. My best friends in the whole world whom I’ve known since I was 14 are planning to travel to Vegas for spring break this year. I’ve never done anything for spring break and this is my senior year of college. But when I brought it up to my boyfriend, he said, “No.” At the time, he planned a trip to Virginia for us two, and his father gave us his condo to stay in for four days. The night before we left for Virginia I brought Vegas up again and he’s said: “If you’re going to Vegas, tell me now…

“After Multiple Breakups, Should I Call It Quits for Good?”

I’m 29 years old and a single mother of one. I’ve been dating my boyfriend for about three years now, on and off. Usually, I’m the one to break it off. And each time I do he comes running back as if he cannot live with out me. I am a church-going person, as is he; he actually plays instruments at his church. We both attend our own respective churches every Sunday, and I’m upset that he has never brought me to his church and he has never introduced me to his family. I have questioned him about it before and he gives me lame excuses like he’s not ready to take…

Shortcuts: “He Refuses to Help Pay for My Birth Control Pills”

I told my boyfriend to pay for half of my birth control pills, but he thinks that’s unfair because [he assumes that] we’d only be having sex 3-4 times for the whole month. I told him that, even though we would be having sex 3-4 times, he’s still benefiting from the contraception. What do you think I should do? I can’t use condoms instead of using birth control pills as the pills help me regulate my hormones and shrink my cysts. — BC Question
