Your Turn

I have been with my boyfriend for 10 months but have known him for many years since we attended the same school. He and his sister-in-law are too close for comfort for my liking. They share many secrets which her husband does not know about and they seem to confide in each other a lot and he can’t say a bad word about her. In fact, he can’t shut up about how amazing she is at everything. I have, for some time, had a strong gut feeling that there is more to this than meets the eye. I believe she’s jealous of me, even though we always used to get along. She’s…

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 in a relationship with my boyfriend for three years. I recently moved in with him after being in long distance relationship for a year. Although I am happy living in the same apartment with him, there are two things that bother me. The first is that he cheated on his previous girlfriends. Even though it was a long time ago, I am not convinced that he is remorseful about his actions. The second issue I have is that his close friend, Chris, cheats…

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 my fiancée for a year and engaged for six months. I was married once before, and my ex-wife was unfaithful three separate times with ex-lovers, which is why we divorced (two years ago). On my first date with my now-fiancée we talked of relationship expectations and I explained I had major reservations about keeping company with ex-lovers, whether it be talking, texting, or seeing one another. She said all the right things: “That’s not me, that’s wrong to do, I…

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 of almost four years, “Joe,” has still no stable job, no car, no apartment, no college degree, no health benefits or retirement plans. He is 34 and rents a room in an elderly lady’s home. This has been his story since he finished his military career. At one point he claimed to be financially stable, but then the market crashed and he lost everything after 9/11. I feel like by now he should be better off. We met online when he lived in NYC…

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 “S” for about four months and I’m really enjoying our time together. When we met, he fell hard and fast and I think my feelings escalated quicker than usual because I knew how into me he was. He’s extremely sweet and caring and genuinely a good person. He makes me feel so special and beautiful. A couple months before we started dating, though, he ended a long relationship (like 6 years) because his ex cheated on him. He said he had a rough…

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 a boyfriend of five months who loves me so much. I feel guilty about the couple of times I cheated on him and can’t forgive myself. This past week, we took a break because I couldn’t bear the guilt anymore, knowing that he’s faithful while I was being such a horrible girlfriend. Last week, I told him that I don’t deserve him and that he’s too attached. He didn’t want to leave my house and it was hurting him so bad knowing I was…

In a feature I call “Your Turn,” in which you, the readers, get to answer the question, I’m presenting the following letter without any commentary from me: My boyfriend of almost three years dropped out of college years ago without a backup plan. When I met him, he would talk about wanting to take courses to become a teacher. Months later, he said that he wanted to start some sort of business. Two years into our relationship he started prerequisites to become a diagnostic imaging technician. He never passed the courses and never got into the program, because he never really studied. And this is when his “hobby” started: befriending teenage girls….

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 wrote in two years ago about having never been kissed. Well, now that I’ve been kissed and have had my first relationship, I have a new question for you. I broke up with my boyfriend of over 1 1/2 years in April. I love him very much, but I don’t feel like I’m in love with him. Meaning, I care about him and his feelings but want to date other people. I’m 24, just out of college, and he was my first and only boyfriend….
