Your Turn: “I’m Tired of His Ex-Wife In My Face All the Time!”

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 has introduced me to all his friends and family as his girlfriend, but we’re taking things slow as not to make mistakes (i.e. we’re not moving in together or sleeping together too quickly). We both have grown children — the youngest being my 17-year-old daughter — who, for the most part, get along. The problem is his ex-wife. She cheated on him which is why the marriage ended in divorce. A week after the divorce was final, she moved the children to another country…

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 in a long-distance relationship with my boyfriend. In fact, I am in another country. We have only been together for three months, and just last week his mother of cancer. Of course, he was prepared for it but he is still in the denial phase. He told me that he needs some time to accept the loss and he even asked me for forgiveness because he is somewhat distant right now. But while he “takes time,” he continues his usual activities like nothing happened…

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 living in remote locations (rural and removed from town) with my husband who must have large acreage for his many, many horses (we have four dogs to boot). Though I have tried for years to grin and bear it, I can no longer live in such an isolated area. I am in town every day, which involves nearly 80 miles of driving round-trip just to take care of errands or to enjoy myself with some friends or handle kids’ activities. It’s gotten to…

Your Turn: “I’m a Pacifist, but He’s a Military Man. Can it Work?”

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 talking to this guy for a while now, and even though I am starting to really like him something about his past bothers me, something that conflicts with my own principles.

This guy whom I have started seeing just told me he served in the Navy a couple of years ago and had also served some time in Guantanamo Bay. When I found out about this, I was a…

“My Addict Boyfriend’s Mother is His Supplier!”

I am 34 and my boyfriend of two years is 27. He has struggled off and on with a prescription pill addiction. He has, thank God, finally agreed to counseling and treatment. We have struggled through this together and he is worth the fight, but the biggest obstacle is that his mother is the supplier! She gets scripts and then sneaks them to him for free. She is an alcoholic who has been in and out of rehab several times. She lost her marriage (my boyfriend was raised by his father from the time he was three), her job, and is now back living with her parents at 52. Obviously, she and…

We’ve overcome a lot of stuff, and we are doing better. But throughout the relationship, his brother has flirted with me on several occasions, even trying to get me in his bed at one point. I have flat-out refused him time and time again, but never said anything to my boyfriend until about two months ago. At first, he was shocked. But now he doesn’t care — he still talks to his brother and…

Your Turn: “I’m Jealous of His Sexual Past”

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 19-year-old female and my boyfriend is 21. We have been committed to each other for 9 months (6 months of officially dating). We are a long distance couple and that, of course, is a huge problem for us — more so for him than for me. I am a virgin and he has had 16 partners (me being the 17th when we finally do meet) and that really bugs me. Is that normal? Why do you think I feel that way? Also, he’s…
