“Should I Start an LDR with A Guy Who Lives in Australia?”
“A little over a week ago, I was standing with a group of friends when a tall, well-dressed, very attractive man visiting from their native Australia walked over.”

My brother-in-law and his girlfriend are a challenging couple for various reasons, but because I think family is really important, I’ve always made a huge effort to try and be close to them. For example, I’ve helped his girlfriend when she needed to find a nursing home for her father, I helped her find and then drive her to a bakery when she was new to the area and having a party for her son, and have offered my father’s legal counsel when she’s been dealing with issues regarding her son’s father. Recently, however, my brother-in-law and his girlfriend got into a huge fight and were on the verge of breaking up….
It’s time again for Shortcuts. For every question, I’ll give my advice in three sentences or less, because sometimes the answer to a person’s question is so obvious and the need to hear it so great, being as clear and frank as possible is simply the best way to go. Today we discuss leaving a cheater and when to confess feelings for a good friend.
“Why would someone in a healthy loving relationship do that to the person he loves?”
“I love him, but the problem is that he doesn’t like my BFF. When I try to get a straight answer from him about why, I never really get one.”
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 met a guy online, about three years ago. Originally, I stopped talking to him because he crossed a line that I do not cross with friends. We talked it over and became really good friends. He calls once in a while to check on me, and vice versa. When I returned to school last year he and I talked a lot, went out to dinner, and saw movies as well. I was at the time breaking up with my ex for the last time and…
“Because our husbands are close friends, she thinks we need to be best friends too.”
I am a woman in my early 20s who is in a (mostly) good relationship with my boyfriend of a few years, “Chris.” While I love him deeply, I’m not sure he’s the “one.” Despite my reservations, based largely on my relatively young age and the fact that there exist certain incompatibilities that are becoming increasingly apparent, I have no desire to leave my relationship in the immediate future. While I have never cheated on Chris and never would, there is another man in my life. I have known “Jack” since I was 15 and he was in his early/mid 20s. When I was 16, after a few months of platonic friendship,…
I have a good friend who just started dating this guy. He has a good job and they seem to really like one another. Although they aren’t “official” yet, they are exclusively seeing one another. After her last relationship ended, my friend was diagnosed with an STI that she got from her ex-boyfriend. This STI has no cure and can easily be spread. When she and I were talking about her current guy, I asked if she had told him about her STI. She said no, and when I asked if she was going to, she also said no! She said she will be using condoms all the time and there is…
“A few days ago I told my fiancé that I was going to clean out the closet. I found a box labeled wedding pictures, and I went through the box.”
