“He Didn’t Tell His Ex He Has a New Girlfriend”
“My boyfriend, whom I’m very happy with, has told me about his big ex, a girl he literally chased for two years. They were together for two years before she cheated on him.”
From the Mailbag: “Why Are Women Labeled ‘Insecure’?”
It’s been a while since I posted one of these: I’m responding to a post a woman wrote about her boyfriend looking at other naked women on calendars, the Internet, TV, etc. I don’t understand why you, like the majority of society, label a woman as “insecure” when she doesn’t like women being objectified, which is a normal feeling. It isn’t normal that women should just have to suck it up when guys look at naked women. It’s a double standard! Why not call it what it is and stop making women feel like there is something wrong with them if they don’t like their men looking at other naked women? Instead,…
“Does My Ex-Husband’s Friend Want to Clean My Pipes or What?”
“I have been separated for six months from a 16-year relationship/marriage, and I’ve been supporting myself and my kids and enjoying life again…”
“I Don’t Want My Husband To Move Us Closer to His Daughter”
“I met my husband knowing full well that he had a daughter, whom he had to give up and drop off at his ex wife’s home three years ago because he lost his job in his home town.”
“My Boyfriend Still Tells His Ex He Loves Her”
“My boyfriend and I have been going out a year, we have both been married before and have grown children with our exes. We are in our 40s and both have careers.”
“My Long Distance Boyfriend Is Moving Here, But I’m Unhappy”
I’ve been in a long-distance relationship with my boyfriend for almost four years. We have been happily making it work, and now he’s planning to move to where I live by February. However, lately I’ve had fits of depression. I don’t feel like doing anything and he’s not trying to make things better. In fact, the emotion and charm he had when we first met seems to be lacking to the point that he says the same old stuff to me, like he’s going through the motions. He’s mentioned he’s not much of an emotional guy, but the reason I fell in love with him was because his charm lifted me up…
“What’s More Important: Rosh Hashanah or My Son’s Birthday?”
I am a Catholic married to a Jewish woman. My oldest son is from a previous marriage and his birthday falls on Rosh Hashanah this year. I want to celebrate his eighth birthday with a dinner with my family, yet my wife is hung up on her holiday. What’s more important? His birthday or Rosh Hashanah? Mind you, there are three days’ worth of celebration for Rosh Hashannah and only one day to celebrate my son’s birthday. In addition to my son, we have two other children together. I’m open to your comments. — Catholic Husband, Jewish Wife
Shortcuts: “My Boyfriend Told Me He’s Bisexual and Wants to Explore”
It’s time again for Shortcuts. For every question, I’ll give my advice in just a few sentences because sometimes the answer to a person’s question is so obvious and the need to hear it so great that being as clear and frank as possible is simply the best way to go.
Your Turn: “I Don’t Want My Daughter Around My Ex’s Mother”
My boyfriend and I recently split due to ongoing issues throughout the majority of our three-year relationship. He is back living with his parents and is 38 years old. Sigh. I believe deep down he is a good person, but for some reason he has very little ambition and can be very immature. I am not claiming sainthood, but at 31 I do feel as if I have surpassed him mentally and emotionally. We have a beautiful one-year-old little girl together while he has a son and a daughter from previous marriages and I have a son from my only marriage when I was 20. My son’s father passed away last year…
“Our Grown Daughter Is Jealous of Our Relationship”
My husband and I have been married for forty years and love our two children, but, unfortunately, our 31-year-old daughter has great jealousy of my husband’s and my relationship. We often include our children in things we do and love having them with us, but she doesn’t like to do things with us because she says she feels like a third wheel. Recently, our daughter asked my husband to take her to another state where she bought a ticket to go to a comedy show by herself. My husband drives for a living, so she asked him to drive her there. He asked me to join them so that we could do…
