Your Turn: “I Wasn’t Invited to His Daughter’s Wedding”

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 with my boyfriend for one year and a half, and have lived with him for one year. He has been separated for over nine years. His daughter, aged 26, is getting married in June, and I know for a fact that she is not inviting me to the wedding. I am very hurt over this. Don’t you think I should be invited to the wedding? — Pseudo Stepmom

“I’m Jealous of His Laptop”

I have been in a relationship with a boyfriend for about three months. I’m a very independent person currently in the final four months of my degree. I am not a needy or clingy person and find it hard to understand those who are. My boyfriend, as lovely as he is, has had his fair share of difficult woman. Anyway, here are my problems with him: 1. He hardly listens to me. I don’t talk in great quantities and when he asks me a question he reverts it back to him and then goes on about whatever obsession he has going on in his OCD brain. I don’t mind it when he…

“Should I Tell Him I Had an Abortion?”

I am 23 years old and four years ago I met my now boyfriend. Although he seemed really interested in me for a couple of months, eventually things fizzled out and he told me he just wanted to be friends with benefits. We kept doing “stuff,” and even though I loved him very much, he pursued other women. About two years ago he started dating someone else and after one last night of “stuff,” stopped seeing me because he felt it wouldn’t be right to the girl he was dating. Shortly after, I found out I was pregnant, and, scared out of mind, had an abortion. He broke up with her after…

“He Thinks His Ex is Hotter”

I’ve been dating my guy for six months, though we’ve been seeing each other for about nine months altogether. We have an amazing relationship now, but before we became official we went through a tough time together. It’s a kind of complicated story, but basically I found out he had a serious drug addiction through some message board posts I discovered through links on his computer (I wasn’t snooping, just looking for some dirty German porn or something to tease him with, I swear). I’m 10 years clean myself, so I told him immediately that I couldn’t be with anyone who was using. He asked me for help quitting, and since I…

Your Turn: “How Can I Date While Unemployed?”

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’m a 41-year-old unemployed, divorced mom of a 4-year-old. I have a question that probably lots of people can relate to. I haven’t been dating much nor, for that matter, have I wanted to. I’ve been busy with my daughter and at one time work. In 2010 I had two jobs and lost both — one because I didn’t have reliable child care to get my daughter to school and the second because the job relocated. So I haven’t worked in a year. I have been…
