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 discovered recently that my girlfriend of two months is a call girl. She has gone to great lengths to keep the fact from me, but eventually the deceptions and things that didn’t make sense caught up with her. She became angry when I found out and cut off all communication. Many things such as depression, extreme feelings of worthlessness, a bad attitude towards men, and nightmares about her hair and teeth falling out started to make sense once I learned what she was doing. Overall…

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 24, and immigrated from the Caribbean in 2001. In 2009 I married my boyfriend at the time so I could get my citizenship. We are no longer in a romantic relationship, but agreed to stay married until my citizenship goes through. We plan to get a divorce in about 6-7 months after the process is finished and carry on with our lives. This year I started dating this 27-year-old guy and it got pretty serious. We have been dating since May. The night we got…

When we first moved in together, we had sex every day. Now, it is only once a week. He used to drool over me naked, but now I can walk around the house naked with him not even looking at 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 was with my ex for just under three years. We lived together for the majority of that time, and although we weren’t perfect — who is? — we were good together. We broke up in May 2011, but it was a weird sort of break up. We stopped living together, but he claimed that he was still in love with me and we went out on dates together like a new couple. Then he came around one day in August and completely ended it. 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: I am writing to you for some advice on my current live-in boyfriend. I am 29 and he is 31. We have been together almost three wonderful years, living together for one year. I am concerned that he is a very, very heavy drinker. I have never experienced negative behavior problems from his drinking — in fact, he appears to relax and be even giddy when he drinks — however, I have seen that he has a definite dependency on alcohol (his hands will physically shake…

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 had a rough dating life. I am 28 years old and I’ve only really had three long-term relationships. All three of them were abusive, all three of them cheated on me, and all three of them lied to me about EVERYTHING. I have no trust in anyone because of these men. I recently met a really great guy on a singles website. He lives out of state and we make trips to see each other every few months. We have been talking for seven…
