“He Doesn’t Make Enough Time for Me! I’m Pissed!”

I’m 30 and I’ve been dating this guy, “Sam,” who’s 32, for a little less then two months now and we’ve been on about six or seven dates in this time. I’m ready to settle down and get married, and even though it’s very early on, Sam has a lot of the qualities I’m attracted too: he is funny, successful, ambitious, and has a good relationship with his family and friends. Things were progressing quite well for the first five dates, but then his boss went out of town on a two-month business trip, and Sam is suddenly too busy to see me as much as I’d like. Last Friday night, he…

“I’m in the Middle of Co-Worker Love Triangle”

I started dating a coworker a few months ago. Things were going great, but I had to miss the company holiday party to attend my grandmother’s funeral out of state. My boyfriend still went to the party as it was sure to be a great time for him. Fast forward a week: I was at my desk next to another coworker who had sole access to all of the photographs taken at a photo booth at the office shindig. A mutual friend, “Jenna,” came by and asked my coworker if all of the photos were going to be accessible to the whole office. She seemed a little worried about some of them,…

“People Keep Bugging Us To Have Kids”

My husband and I have been together since we were 15, and married since 20. Now, as 23 year-olds, we are finding ourselves under immense pressure from our parents, friends and co-workers (?!) to have children. Everyone seems to think that once you are married the next step is children. While we definitely want to have them, we still feel that we are very young and have many things we wish to experience together before we make such a life-changing decision.
