“Should I Have Kids for Him?”

I moved from one coast to the other for grad school, leaving a city I love for a suburb I loathe. I always planned to move back as soon as I was done with school but, of course, I met someone. My boyfriend and I have been dating now for about nine months and I still have about nine more months of school. I made the decision early on not to let my dislike of the location end a perfectly good relationship, so I’ve compromised and now plan on staying in this area for him. The problem is I’ve always had two deal-breakers: where to live, and kids. I’ve never wanted kids…

Your Turn: “I Can’t Stop Flirting with Other Guys”

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: I have been dating my current boyfriend for over a year and we’ve talked about marriage and the future and I can definitely see him in it. I’m still young though and I still get that itch to go out partying and dancing. My boyfriend has expressed his dislike for me dancing with other guys but he doesn’t like to go out as much as I do. So I either go out, flirt unintentionally, and then feel really bad about not being “true” to my boyfriend…

“My Long Distance Relationship is Depressing Me”

My boyfriend and I have been dating long-distance for almost two years while I am working at a temporary position. He still lives in my hometown, only about 90 minutes away, and we have been lucky enough to be able to see each other almost every weekend. Now, I realize this situation is probably as good as it ever gets for “long-distance;” however, I’ve been finding myself getting into depressive slumps after our visits. The weekends are amazing together, but as soon as he leaves, I’m sad and lonely. I get cheered up again as soon as I get to see him the next weekend, but as soon as one of us…

“How Can I Find a Man Who Will Accept My Autism?”

I’m in my late 40s and have only been in one committed relationship, which last lasted three years when I was in my early 30s. I have been single ever since. I have weight issues, which men hate, and I have mental conditions. I suffer from Fragile X and Autism. I just pursued a guy who flat-out told me that he’d never date a mental health patient. Then he ranted about how he scored models at singles bars. This kind of guy is not for me. What can I do to find men who are right for me? I am musically inclined and looking for the same to date me, but I…

“My Girlfriend Found Raunchy Messages I Sent to Another Woman”

I met a girl on a dating app back in March, and on May 12 of this year (yes, within 2 months or so) we moved in together, along with her 6-year-old son. Since then, we have begun having issues. My girlfriend is bold and is unable to speak her position quietly and civilly at times. Most recently, she swore in front of our apartment staff, and not even a half an hour after that, the apartment staff wanted to have a sit down meeting with us about her behavior. Also, I have a best female friend who recently got out of an engagement, whom I talk to occasionally, and for a…

“I Don’t Want to be Her Bridesmaid!”

I’ve been in the position two times in the last few years where “friends” from high school ask me to be in their weddings and, after the weddings have taken place, I never hear from them again. The truth is, in the years before these marriages I didn’t hear much from these two girls either, so I wasn’t shocked when I didn’t hear from them post-wedding. In the current case, I’m the only “friend” the bride has left having alienating every other female in her life. I see her maybe quarterly for coffee with no communication in between. She told me via text message she got engaged (a week after it happened)….

“My Ex is Sending Photos of Me to Swingers”

I decided to share this story with you guys after all the hilarious, in-depth ones you’ve shared with me. Please try to overlook or disregard how I learned the information I have and just appreciate the “WTF!” factor. I found out recently that my ex is sending pictures of me to online dating profiles of swinger couples seeking another couple, claiming we’re an item looking for some fun! When my ex and I were dating, I was aware that he had previously been very active on online dating sites (note: this is not how we met). He does not own his own computer (uhh, *red flag*) and at one point got his…

“I Went to an S&M Club for My Bachelorette Party — Alone”

I got married this past month and my husband just found out I lied to him about my bachelorette party. (I told him I was going out with a friend, but he found out that friend wasn’t in town when I went out). He’s about 25 years older than me and kind of old school when it comes to sex and relationships (this is his second marriage, my first). I mentioned in the beginning of our relationship that I used to go to an S&M club once in a while, which freaked him out (he thought it was sick), but he seemed to get over it. He told me he would have…

“Should I Date the Broke Guy With No Teeth?”

When I was 15, my brother was friends with a guy named John who was very handsome but slightly conceited. He even hurt my feelings on a number of occasions. Eventually, he developed a crush on me, but I never went out with him. Now I’m 32 years old and I noticed him on a family member’s Facebook page, so I sent him a message. At the age of 35, he is homeless, has no teeth due to cocaine use, but seems nice. He says he’s been clean over a month and wants to get his life together so I can be with him. Only problem is, how could I be with…
