“We’re Marrying Early for Health Insurance”
“We’re contemplating marrying in front of just immediate family before we move, so that he can be on my insurance, but how do we tell people?”
“Are all College Guys Jerks?”
I’m a sophomore in college. Over winter break four of my guy friends from high school tried to kiss me. The kicker? All four of these “men” are in relationships. Even if I’m sending some sort of subliminal “open for business” signal, it hardly seems right that they would approach even the most sultry of vixens (which I am not…) with the intention of cheating. I’m currently questioning whether I can trust any man — at least any man under 25 — to stay loyal in a relationship when I seem to serve as an overwhelming example of their willingness to stray. — Confused in College
“Am I Being Too Needy?”

“What Does it Mean to Be In Love?”

“Should I Wait for My Jailbird Boyfriend?”
I’m 28 and my boyfriend is 30 and about a month ago, he was suddenly and shockingly arrested. The details of his charge are extremely complicated, so I won’t try to explain everything, but he was caught in a sting operation. Since his arrest, he’s been held in jail. His lawyers advised him to not talk about his crime with anyone, which means he’s been unable to offer me any explanation for what happened. Even though my boyfriend has a clean record, his lawyers say the best plea deal they could get him would likely be 4-5 years in jail. Needless to say, this has been devastating and shocking news. I love…
“I’m So Unhappy in My Marriage”
“I’ve been unhappy in my marriage almost since we got married, which was 2 1/2 years ago.”
Your Turn: “We Always Fight When We’re Drunk”
The “Your Turn” letter that was originally published here has been deleted at the request of the letter writer who seems to think I intentionally posted her letter and gave it a sensational title to generate comments. Note: I have never ever pretended to not care about generating comments or traffic on this site. Of course I choose letters that I think will generate healthy discussion on this forum. I would be a moron not to. So, yes, LW, I did publish your letter because I thought it was generate comments. I’m not sure what would have been a less sensational title and still truthfully reflect to the content of your letter….
“Is My Boyfriend Being Selfish or Am I?”
My boyfriend has a female friend whom he used to be very close to, but they fell out of touch. Recently, she ran into his brother at a bar and got my boyfriend’s number and began texting him. She proceeded to invite him to party and told him to bring me along. At the time, I agreed, but then I found out a friend of mine is coming into town only for that weekend and wants to go to this club we’ve been to before. So I told my boyfriend and he said “That’s the same night of my friends party…” and I told him “Well, I guess we’re not going then…”…
“How Many Sex Partners Is Too Many?”
Recently I was talking to my 21-year-old boyfriend about how many sexual partners was considered “too many.” I told him how there was a 21-year-old guy friend who says he’s had over 20 partners but they had each meant something to him so he didn’t see a problem with it; only when you have meaningless sex does it become a problem, he said. Most of my other friends, especially my girl friends, only have had a couple partners, and I have always thought that was the norm for most people my age. When I asked my boyfriend how many he thought was “too many,” he said that if you lose count, then…
“How Can I Tell My Boyfriend’s Parents That I Don’t Want Their Stuff?”
