“How Do I Leave My Husband?”

I want to leave my husband, but I don’t know how. We’ve been together for 10 years, lived together for seven, and married for two. In reality, the last four or five years have been really unhealthy (we can’t/don’t communicate, it’s not fulfilling — mostly for me, etc.) I’ve been seeing a therapist for the past eight months, and I’ve decided that I need to move on in order to be healthy and happy. Now that I know I want to leave, I’m clueless as to how to do it. I tried talking to my husband, but he begged me to stay, and I caved. That was a month ago, but nothing’s…

“I’m Jewish, He’s Catholic. Can We Make It Work?”

I’ve been dating my boyfriend for about a year now and things are great. We work at the same large company in different departments, and have a lot of shared interests, values, and goals. We talked early on about the general idea of marriage and having children. More recently, we have started talking about being married and having children with each other. Though we are definitely not to that point yet, I like the idea. There’s only one problem: he’s Catholic and I am Jewish. I have recently started becoming more religious, and have been really enjoying exploring my faith. All along, I just naturally assumed I would marry a Jewish man…

“I’m 32 and Have Never Kissed a Girl”

I’m 32 and have never had a girlfriend. I’m not a touchy-feely person, and this coupled with being really shy around women who I’m interested in, isn’t making my life easy. I’ve only been on about four dates since high school, and none of them worked out. I feel all I need is practice, but I get so nervous on a date, that rather than confronting my fears, I’ve been avoiding them. Even something as simple as kissing is foreign and scary for me, as I’ve never kissed a girl. The guy is supposed to take the lead, but this guy hasn’t got a clue! I was a big teenager, so I…

“I Can’t Choose Between My Two Exes!”

For clarity, I’m a lesbian but hate labels. With that said, I’m having trouble choosing between two women, both of whom I’ve dated before. I met ex #1 through work. She came on strong, and we had a very passionate relationship. I don’t think I have ever been that absorbed and given someone that much of myself before. But, after almost a year she decided we needed a break, which I took as an opportunity to meet new people. That’s when I met ex #2. We got together sort of knowing neither of us was in a place to commit to each other and we didn’t have any intentions to. However, we…

“My Boyfriend’s Father is Sexist”

I’ve been dating my boyfriend for about three months now and we recently met each other’s families. I really like his brothers, but his father has been getting on my nerves. I was offended once when he started talking about how firefighters are brainwashed to take an ax to the door every time they get a call, even if it’s not necessary. I don’t think he realized that both my grandfathers were firefighters and my father currently is a lieutenant in the fire department. I tried to not get offended by his statements, but we were in the car for a long drive, and I really didn’t want to sit there and…

“My Boyfriend Won’t Remove the Condoms from His Car”

I have been with my boyfriend for over a year now, and although we’ve never had sex anywhere but at home, my boyfriend keeps condoms in his car, which I’ve recently expressed my discomfort over. He told me that he has always kept condoms in his car (even before me) and it is for no particular reason. However, he promised to remove them since it made me uncomfortable. Four weeks later, I found out he never removed them but rather put them in different locations in the car to throw me off. Every time we are about to have sex, he has to stop and get a condom out of his car,…

“My Boyfriend’s Ex is Horning in on His Family”

I’ve been with my boyfriend for almost two years now and things are going great. We get along really well, have the same values, and plan to get married some time in the future. The problem is, he has an ex girlfriend (of 4 years) who still maintains a relationship with his family, specifically his younger sister. My boyfriend doesn’t speak to this girl anymore as she treated him badly during their relationship. In the past, if we saw her in social settings, she was very rude to us both, but we haven’t seen her in a year and a half as we don’t live in the same town where she lives…
