Shortcuts

I met my boyfriend a little over a year ago. Everything was perfect. I mean, too-good-to-be-true perfect: no fighting, great to me and my child. Anyway, after our one year together, he started to have no feelings. Like, he was empty. He said that the only feeling he had was for his boys, and that as they get older, they don’t need him anymore and that hurts him. It makes me feel so confused because everything was great. At first I thought he sounded depressed but now I am thinking he’s having a midlife crisis (he’s 37). But I am unsure, and unsure how to help him. We still live together but…

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. My husband has been married six times and he has children by two of his exes. He has pictures of two of his ex-wives in our closet. Should I be concerned about that? — Number Six

In nearly six years, my boyfriend, Bryan, has paid rent one time and has never ever paid a full month’s bills. He has had multiple jobs and just finally got back to work in May after being off for two years. We are in July now and he has paid me a total of $500 that he won at the casino….

I am a much older lady, divorced but attractive. I’ve been told not to sleep with men right away, but there was a guy on holiday I fancied who was a similar age and also divorced and whom I regret not sleeping with. I’m sure he wanted to sleep with me, but the holiday was only five days and I don’t…

I am 44 years and I have had a long-distance relationship with my guy for about three years. I have made all the trips in this relationship to visit with him since, as he says, my “schedule is more flexible.” I feel like our relationship is not progressing and I really am not sure if this is what I want anymore….
