Your Turn: “Can I Move Home?”

I am considering moving back to my home town after more than a decade away. I have a large group of friends there and want to raise a family and hopefully start a business there. However, there is someone who lives there whom I don’t ever want to see, but I know I will see them regularly as their circle of interests and friends overlaps with mine, and without fail, every time I go back for a visit, I see this person. The reason I don’t ever want to see this person is because they sexually assaulted and attempted to murder a close friend of my family. The victim was already terminally…

“My Boyfriend is Depressed and I’m Turned Off”

I met my boyfriend six months ago on a dating website and we fell in love very quickly. What I loved about him was his kindness. He seemed very sweet and hard-working, and treats me very well. He’s funny, loyal and my best friend. My friends love him because he is a nice guy and they see we are happy. My family is less fond of him because they don’t like the fact that he has no career plan or ambition. I hate to admit that they are right. I saw some signs of depression and things happened to make it worse such as him losing his job, gaining weight, and isolating…

“Should I Ask Him to Be Exclusive?”

I just spent a year serial dating online and met many nice guys. Only a few duds. I’ve had pretty good luck on the site, and have been seeing the same guy for four months. He’s in his late 30s, has a child, and has a cordial relationship with the child’s mother as they share custody. Despite being a father, he has never had a long term relationship. In short, he’s a real adult with a good career and we’re both a catch. I want to keep seeing him. I don’t think he’s going anywhere, but I’d like a little more definition. I’m having trouble mustering up the nerve to ask him…

Your Turn: “His Mother Hates Me”

In a feature I call “Your Turn,” in which you, the readers, get to answer the question, I’m presenting the following letter without commentary from me: My boyfriend and I have been together two years. We’re both just shy of 18. We have a really great relationship (no sex yet either) and are very, very happy together. My parents are high-school sweethearts, still married, and absolutely adore my boyfriend. My boyfriend’s parents are divorced. He spends every other weekend at his dad’s house and then lives with his mother and his step-father all other times. His dad and his girlfriend have always loved me and accepted me and are very sweet to…

“He Doesn’t Want to Meet My Family”

My boyfriend and I have been dating for two and a half months. I am 25 and he is 31. Just as we started dating he told me there was another woman in his life but he wanted me to be his girlfriend and so he was going to leave her, plus she didn’t mean anything to him, but he didn’t want to be rude by dumping her so suddenly. Later, I found out through him that he has a 13-year-old daughter — with yet another women. We broke up for a while, but then he begged me to get back together. He says it’s too early for either one of us…
