Your Turn

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 dating my boyfriend for almost a year now, and I feel as though we are getting very close and he could be a person I could see myself spending the rest of my life with. On our first date we were talking about our families, siblings, etc. He told me at the time that he was an only child. Then a couple dates later we were sitting around and he apologized for lying on our first date and told me in fact that he…

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’m a 24 year-old woman and pretty much a 4 on the Kinsey scale, meaning I am bi but leaning towards women for the moment because I’ve never dated them and I want to. My family has no idea that I’m bi and would freak out if I came out to them. I’m in community college right now trying to save some money for what I like to call “big girl university.” I’m unemployed and I live at home. I use my unemployment benefits to pay…

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 got divorced three years ago from my verbally abusive ex-husband. He isn’t verbally abusive anymore and we remain friends to this day, but he has 70% custody of our children. Now, I am not a bad mother; the court did not give him custody, we agreed that he would have custody since at the time, and still now, he has a better-paying job, a great support system, and he really is a good father. He’s in the military and we’ve been in a city 2000…

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’m 20 years old and live with my 20-year-old boyfriend and his family. I live no more than three miles away from my family’s house, yet I miss them terribly. I moved in with my boyfriend a year ago because I loved him and wanted to experience a more grown-up life. I was 18 and the time and was, like, “OK, let’s move in without telling my mom.” I just left when she wasn’t home which hit her really hard. Since moving in with my boyfriend,…

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’m at my wit’s end with my roommate and her boyfriend. On her own, she is a good roommate, but the problem is, she is NEVER on her own! He is always here — he sleeps over, hangs out for several hours, eats (food that he bought to keep in our fridge that I’m paying the power bill for), leaves for like an hour tops, comes back, eats lunch, hangs out, leaves for an hour, comes back, eats…you see the cycle. He also uses our shower…

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’m 30 years old, and a painful divorce and an insecure personality has led me down an awful path of jealousy. My boyfriend is sweet, faithful, and an all-around a great guy….a great guy with a TON of girl friends. He knows so many women, and is very close to several of them. He describes his friendships with them as “little sister/big brother” type of relationships, and I’ve seen it with my own eyes-they definitely are. He is doting and protective, but not interested in these…

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’m a girl in my early twenties, looking for a healthy relationship. I’ve recently started something up with a great guy, but I’ve been really worried about something. I just got out of a FWB thing with my best friend, “Mark,” a couple of months ago. Honestly, we love each other an incredible amount, and I think that we could easily be extremely happy together for the rest of our lives (after we have our early-20s adventures), except for one huge elephant in the room: in…

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: My boyfriend and I are getting married in just under nine weeks and it has become a massive struggle. We are paying loads of money for last-minute things (clearing the balance for the reception, the photographer, etc), which means we can’t go out or do anything spontaneous like order a pizza, which has been hugely stressful and depressing for both of us. We were both unemployed for a long time and started saving up for the wedding soon after we got jobs, so we didn’t really…

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 have been with my boyfriend for almost two years. We’re silly together, the sex is good, and we’re a good team. I’ve never had jealousy issues in a relationship before, and tend to be the opposite of insecure-crazy; we watch porn together, talk about other girls (and guys) together, and have even had a threesome with another woman (which, believe it or not, was my idea). The problem is that over the course of the past four months, I have caught him speaking to other…

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 a 21-year-old female who recently finalized my divorce. We are both in the military, and we were long distance for our entire relationship which obviously made it hard. We had a whirlwind romance and got married after nine months of dating, thinking it would be possible that we would be able to get stationed near each other after we were married. Well, that turned out to not be the case, and we remained stationed on separate coasts. Almost immediately after we were married he…
