Your Turn: “I Was the Other Woman and He Dumped Me”

In a feature I call “Your Turn,” in which you, the readers, get to answer the question, I’m presenting the following letter without commentary from me: I met this guy, “Rick,” four years ago when I was sleeping with his best friend who is now my son’s biological father. Rick and I HATED each other at first. After some time, as things with my son’s father went downhill, Rick and I started talking more and more and becoming good friends. He helped heal my heart after I broke up with my son’s father. We have always been attracted to each other but it always seemed too off-limits. Eventually, he met his now-girlfriend…

Your Turn: “I Don’t Keep in Touch with my College Friends”

In a feature I call “Your Turn,” in which you, the readers, get to answer the question, I’m presenting the following letter without commentary from me: Is there something wrong with me that I don’t keep in touch with college friends? I graduated from college two years ago and moved to a new city for work. For the first year, I tried to stay in touch.

Sometimes I feel like I was meant to have been born in another time period – I…

Your Turn: “He Never Wants Sex”

In a feature I call “Your Turn,” in which you, the readers, get to answer the question, I’m presenting the following letter without commentary from me: I’ve been in a relationship with a man for about a year and a half. I am 26 and he is 36. We live together as I moved into his place around the one year point. I love him dearly.

I know for me that’s not…

Your Turn: “Is It Time to MOA?”

In a feature I call “Your Turn,” in which you, the readers, get to answer the question, I’m presenting the following letter without commentary from me: I consider my boyfriends one of my best friends, and I love him very much, but I don’t know if he is “the one.” He is in a band, and while he has a full-time job, he is perfectly content to keep going as he is, not really pushing himself when it comes to getting a better job, financial security, etc. — all things that are important to me. We have broken up twice, but always get back together. He is very kind and loving, but…

Your Turn: “It’s Been Three Years and He Has Never Introduced Me to His Family”

In a feature I call “Your Turn,” in which you, the readers, get to answer the question, I’m presenting the following letter without commentary from me: I am 45 years old and my boyfriend is almost 40. I just gave him up because after three years he still cannot introduce me to his family. His family does not want to meet me and has never even seen me because I am divorced and a bit older with two children. He has been coming to see me every weekend for three years as he is an hour away. So he has been great that way. Unfortunately, I have come to a crossroads where…
