His Take: “My Ex is Gloating about His New Girlfriend on Facebook”

New readers, welcome to Dear Wendy, a relationship advice blog. If you don’t find the info you need in this column, please visit the Dear Wendy archives or the forums (you can even start your own thread), or submit a question for advice. I broke up with my boyfriend in June after five years, and now he has a new girlfriend. I felt we lost the flame and things weren’t what they used to be and i was no longer happy so I ended it but now he frequently posts on Facebook about how you know when you meet the right person and how happy he is and life is just total…

“My Mom Doesn’t Believe I’m Gay!”

I’m 24 and I just came out around a month ago as a lesbian, first to myself and then to my sister and dad who are totally supportive — in fact, they always felt that I was a lesbian growing up because I was a serious tomboy, among other things. Thing is, a few weeks ago, I came out to my mom (my parents are divorced) and she seriously does not believe me. She says there is something wrong with me hormonally, especially as I was growing up, something about my being borderline Cushings disease, and she told me to not go around telling people that I’m gay. This hurts me big…

Quickies: “My Fiancé is a Terrible Kisser”

My fiancé is a wonderful man and our relationship is amazing in every way, except for one thing: kissing during foreplay and sex. It’s really strange, because my fiancé is a great kisser otherwise, and used to be a great kisser while being intimate, but it seems that recently, his kissing skills have regressed. The problem is that when he gets really into the moment, he starts practically mauling my face off, which is not sexy at all, and, is painful when he has stubble, which is most of the time. I’ve usually been able to solve the problem by situating myself so that I’m above him when we’re kissing so that…

“How Do I Tell my Husband I’ve Been Unhappy For Years?”

I have been married for nearly 20 years (lived with hubby for a couple of years first) and we have a small child, under five. I was in my early 20s when we married (and, let’s just say that now I don’t recommend getting married that young), but I have been pretty unhappy in my marriage for probably the past 7 years or so. I have a serious aversion to confrontation. I avoid it like the plague. I’m also, in some ways, a bit of a wimp. Thankfully, I am successful in my career, and it is an escape for me. I swallow the things I want to say about my husband…

“He Facebook Friended the Woman He Cheated On Me With”

I have been with my boyfriend for three years. About one year ago, I discovered he was having an affair with a girl (she was barely 18, we are nearly 30) who lived in the town he traveled to frequently for business. He claimed for months they were just friends, but every time she would call, he would leave the room, so I knew SOMETHING was happening. He finally confessed that he was in love with her, we broke up, and he moved out of our shared house. A few days later he moved her up to our town. Less than a week later, he was crying to me and wanting to…

“We’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling”

My husband and I have been married for four years, and dated for three years before we got married. He’s a good person and I do love him and care for him deeply, but I have lost that “in love” feeling. This has been a problem for a while, and I’ve been seeing a therapist to talk about my own issues as well as trying to sort out how I feel about being in this relationship. We both have good jobs, a nice house, and I know that he loves me very much, is very happy with me and he is such a rock through any hard time I’ve gone through. He’s…

“The Language Barrier is Killing our Relationship!”

My boyfriend and I have known each other for 2.5 years, have been dating for 2 years, and have been in an LDR for much of our relationship. He is European and lives in Europe, and I am American and live in the States. We are both in our last year of college and plan to begin a life together in one of our countries after we finish school. An exchange program allowed me to move to his city for a semester and we agreed that it would be best for me to live with him – not only would we save money, of which I have very little, but we’ve already…
