“I’m a 30-Year-old Receptionist and Ashamed of My Job”
“I’m super self-conscious around his friends because my job sounds pretty pathetic. Do you have any tricks for ways to boost my confidence a little?”

“Recently, a friend rather unexpectedly told me that he liked me. More than that, he proposed.”
I was casually dating a wealthy guy who loves to party. I saw him every other weekend or so, and our visits were usually booze-filled ones in Vegas. He really “got” me…
This Saturday is my oldest friend’s wedding. We have been best friends on and off for the past decade and seem to go through the same cycle over and over again: we will be the best of friends and then she’ll stand me up when we have plans and call me crazy when I express my disappointment. Usually, a month later, I’ll get an apology and she’ll tell me that she just didn’t feel like doing what we had planned. I then forgive her (as long as she promises to actually change this time) and begin to trust her again. Most recently when this happened, I told her I didn’t know if…
I was in a relationship with this guy about seven years ago and we recently got back in contact. We were so excited! I told him that I knew we probably wouldn’t be able to get things back how they used to be but that didn’t matter; I just wanted him in my life. So he responds, “I don’t see why we can’t, let’s try,” and so I took him up on it. He lives in Las Vegas and I live in California, but I didn’t mind the long distant, since it would allow us to take things slow. I’ve been out to visit once a month. Things were great! He would…
“Even though I’m not this huge secret because he has told his friends about me, I just feel like our boss should be aware. Should I cut my losses and MOA?”
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 partner and I have been seeing each other for about six months. The beginning was rocky and more like a secret relationship. For example, we held hands but he let go if anyone we knew could be around, and he wouldn’t tell friends if he had spent the evening with me, etc. Not until the past three months have we become more comfortable with the idea of calling ourselves “girlfriend and boyfriend” and not until two weeks ago did he tell his parents about me….
“A few of weeks ago I had a threesome. I took the morning after pill when I woke up but it didn’t work because I just found out that I’m pregnant.”
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 live with my ex-boyfriend and we’re best friends but I still have feelings for him and they are driving me crazy. I can’t tell him how I feel because we live together and if he doesn’t feel the same way he would probably want me to move out and I have no place to go. I think about him all the time to the point where he’s constantly in my dreams and I’m so mentally and physically exhausted by the end of every day from…
“We’ve been slowly making plans for marriage (saving money, etc.) but I wonder if that’s truly a good idea.”
