“Should I Fight to Keep Him?”

The guy I had been dating for three months broke up with me last week. We met online and he is 28 and I’m 30. We had a great time together, always got along, had chemistry and he treated me very well and made me feel special. However, I felt him pulling away about two weeks ago and it coincided with when we started hanging out with my friends more. He is very smart and college-educated with a good job. I have a PhD and most of my friends have grad degrees. I noticed when we started hanging out with my friends more he started to get more insecure and say things…

“My Friend’s Girlfriend is Clueless”

My friends and I are in our late twenties/ early thirties. About two years ago my friend “Ken” started dating “Elise” who was eighteen years old and a senior in high school. He was thirty-one at the time. Elise was not a mature eighteen-year-old — if anything she was quite immature for her age, but not a mean or bad person. Two years later they live together and are going strong. None of us quite understand the attraction — other than the girl is quite beautiful — but she makes Ken happy. Unfortunately, the rest of us in our friend group can’t find common ground with her. Even though she’s twenty and…

“My Boyfriend Won’t Stop Texting His Ex”

Long story short: I met my boyfriend a little over a year and a half ago. My parents had just decided to get a divorce that got nasty quick. We lived an hour and a half apart and the nights I couldn’t see him, we were on the phone for hours. After two months of officially dating we decided to move in together. I moved an hour and a half away from my family to a town where I knew no one but him. I got a job and everything was great. We talk about marriage and kids and houses and even tried to buy one but we didn’t qualify at the…

Your Turn: “How Can I Balance Law School and Love?”

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 just started law school a couple weeks ago. It’s been busy, but fun and interesting so far. However, even though looking for a relationship at this very moment is the last thing on my mind, I can’t help but think about my situation. I went through undergrad boyfriend-less because I was shy and self-conscious about my weight. So what now? School’s my priority, but I don’t want to be single forever. I’d like to have someone to call a boyfriend once in my life! How…

“I Don’t Want to be His Baby Mama”

I am a single mother of 3-year-old boy. Two weeks back I met a guy who said he has two kids from different mothers, who would like to go out with me. I don’t know if I should give it a try or not; I’m scared that since he impregnated two women and didn’t marry them that he can still do the same to me. I asked him what his intentions were with me and he said he wants to marry me, but my doubt is I cannot start a family with a man who has two kids plus my own. — Not Lookin’ to be Baby Mama #3
