I slapped the man I love!

Q.   I slapped the man I adore to death this weekend when I was drunk, well we were both drunk. He now doesn't want to speak or talk to me. I clearly don't want this, what should I do? A bit of back round on us. Him and I have been on and off for over...

A.   8 September 2010: This relationship is a disaster and it is going no-where good. Your life is shrouded in drink, drugs and violence. You are mistaking a sexual relationship for something rather more loving. He isn't faithful to you at all, and does the on-off routine ... (read in full...)

Q.   im 43 and slept with an 18 year old and now shes pregnant but thats not the only problem she said that she fort we was going out when we slept together i knew she gets very close to people too fast but i didnt realise she wanted more than sex i fort ...

A.   8 September 2010: You should have thought about that before you slept with her without using protection. You were thinking with your second brain at the time no doubt! If you knew she had 'special needs' then it was up to you to be an adult about it and either not ... (read in full...)

Q.   I have a bit of a relationship problem with an interfering woman. I have been with my partner for over 3 years now. Things are great between us, although he has slipped up twice, never cheated on me (once was a dating website with a guest profile ...

A.   6 September 2010: You know what is going on because I assume he is telling you and showing you the texts. The fact he is communicating about it suggests he is not going to cheat or sneak around your back. I think it is up to him to deal with this woman. If you start ... (read in full...)

A.   6 September 2010: I don't know why you would want him to change his mind. He is an immature, selfish idiot who was little more than a sperm donor. Basically I would be careful about allowing access to the child if he does express an interest later on. I am not ... (read in full...)

A.   5 September 2010: In the UK there is a specific law that prevents teachers from having sexual relationships with their pupils. This activity is known as 'breach of trust' because he has a position of power over you. Clearly you won't be his first victim as predators ... (read in full...)

A.   5 September 2010: If there were no medical complications with the abortion then there is every reason to think you will get pregnant again. If you are worried, see a doctor who can do a check up of your overall health and deal with your concerns. It is possible that ... (read in full...)

Q.   I am a white british girl who met an Indian man through facebook and have been chatting to him for over a year and we have admitted to loving each other. He is very loving and I know he would be a great person to be with but I have always had the ...

A.   5 September 2010: Long term relationships face all sorts of stress and challenge along the way. The test of a good relationship is the ability to resist influence from other people. Since you have met this person online then I think there is no reason why you should ... (read in full...)

Q.   Am separated from my husband and I am currently seeing this guy who is 10 years older than me we do not do a lot of things together. We hardly go out or do any fun things together. This guy is a medical doctor and is married with 1 adopted daughter. ...

A.   4 September 2010: You cannot lose what is not yours in the first place. This man is married. Even if he does marry you, how long before another woman catches his eye? He won't leave his wife because if she has a lower income then it may cost him a lot in the divorce. ... (read in full...)

I'm 21 she's 15. Is morally it ok that I want to date her?

Q.   So I've recently met this girl, she's 15, but she seems so nice and mature, but ok she can also be quite childish as well. But she seems really into me and I'm 21, now the legal age for stuff I know is 16 but I wouldnt do anything with this girl ...

A.   2 September 2010: At 15 she should be childish...she is still very young. You are finding fault with her before you have even started dating which is a problem. If her parents are decent people then you should face some objection to the relationship. Firstly, as ... (read in full...)

A.   2 September 2010: I think you should stop worrying. If she does ask you for money, say she can borrow more when she pays you back what she already owes. She may sense that you fancy her. If she keeps coming back for money, say no.... (read in full...)

Q.   okay so there is this guy that i have been talking to kind of and we before we started talking we were always really flirty and stuff so finally he gave me his number and we talked a little but not to much and then recently we started talking a lot ...

A.   2 September 2010: Basically if a man is really into you then they will find a way to call you, knock on your door or send you an email. Don't chase him with text messages. It was just a fling for him. If he does get back in touch at a later date be very careful about ... (read in full...)

He ended it, but now he wants to get back together - on HIS terms. What should I do?

Q.   I've been in a long term, long-distance relationship with a guy who basically controls me. I can't do anything without him knowing, he HAS to know what I'm thinking and why I'm thinking that and I'm not allowed to go near any other guy, which is ...

A.   2 September 2010: You write, "I don't want this, but I don't want to lose him". I think you are in danger of losing yourself to be honest as you get sucked into his mental illness. People with self harm disorders are often incredibly emotionally manipulative and ... (read in full...)

What is her problem? I have never seen this side to her before!

Q.   I got married recently and I really regret inviting an ex colleague of mine which I thought was a friend! Since I've been back from honeymoon all she has done is slag off my wedding, not only to me but to some mutual friends and god knows who e...

A.   2 September 2010: I tend to agree with the others. This woman is madly and utterly consumed by her own jealousy. She deep down thought you were very beautiful on the day and that eats away at her because she lacks self confidence. If she was a happy, contented person ... (read in full...)

A.   1 September 2010: He sounds like a control freak. I think you have to leave for the sake of your own sanity, as well as the welfare of your child. It is very sad to separate when a child is involved. However, it is worse to stay in a bad relationship for the sake of ... (read in full...)

Q.   I met the most amazing woman and i cant stop thinking about her! We are really good friends and I have told her how I feel about her and I think she feels the same! Unfortunately we live 400 miles away from each other and I also work away from ...

A.   1 September 2010: Life is too short for indecision. If you have been lucky enough to meet someone who makes you happy then go for it. Pack your bags and move 400 miles. It maybe the best decision you ever made in your life. It may turn out to be a disaster, but at ... (read in full...)

A.   1 September 2010: Although you may feel that what you are doing online is 'mature', it is really leaving you open to being victimised by older men. It is also the start of a worrying behavioural pattern where you get off on exhibitionism through a webcam at a young ... (read in full...)

Q.   So yesterday I was looking through my girlfriends email account and her post on one of these type of sites saying "how to get rid of your boyfriend" And It bothered me I didn't saying anything at first then se said it was nothing she said it out of ...

A.   1 September 2010: At the point where you felt the need to go through her email account the relationship was over. What you found when you did that is largely irrelevant. The action of checking up means there is a lack of trust or stability in the relationship. I ... (read in full...)

A.   29 August 2010: You may not wish to go to the hospital but early treatment of cancer is critical to the long term outcome. You seem to care about your family a great deal, but you should also identify that if you have cancer and you leave it to spread around your ... (read in full...)

A.   29 August 2010: I think that you must be a terrible judge of character if you think this person is amazing and kind. To anyone standing outside the situation looking in then he is anything but that! He is a cowardly scumbag. He was trying to cheat with you when his ... (read in full...)

A.   28 August 2010: You have to change the mindset if the relationship has any future. I guess your girlfriend was dressing in a sexy way when you met her and decided to start dating her. She hasn't run off with another man up until now and that is probably because she ... (read in full...)

A.   27 August 2010: As an ex-Londoner I would say forget hotels if you are on a budget. The only cheap one's are flea pits and not very safe. Instead, try bed & breakfast establishments (google it) or traveller hostels if you just want a few nights accommodation. I ... (read in full...)

Q.   I dated a younger woman, I am in my early 30s and she is in her early 20s. When I first saw her I was completely blown away by her and came to love her and her daughter. We were together for 5 years. Recently I found out she was cheating and I h...

A.   27 August 2010: I understand that you are bitter from the broken relationship. Unfortunately the debts are in your name and any court would view your purchases as gifts to her, unless you have some documentation to show that you gave her stuff as a loan. I am sorry ... (read in full...)

A.   25 August 2010: The only proven medical treatment for hair thinning is Vaniqa - only usually available on prescription. If it really bothers you, save up and get laser treatment which works well on dark hair. It hurts a bit but no pain, no gain...no worse than ... (read in full...)

A.   22 August 2010: It is possible to meet the right person at a club...I married someone I met at a nightclub. It is rare though. I think most people go to clubs looking to dance or have a fling. If you are looking for a relationship try joining a gym or a social club ... (read in full...)

A.   22 August 2010: You can download software to reinstall whatever has been deleted from a hard disk of a computer. It is interesting that you refer to him as 'the person I live with' and then go on to say he is possibly 'cheating on me'. It is clear that you have no ... (read in full...)

A.   22 August 2010: I have a friend who works in that industry. It is a big no-no to have any relations with guests. Most staff are on fixed term contracts that are renewed subject to performance. In fact members of staff are often close with each other (being thrown ... (read in full...)

Should I get a tattoo in honor the baby I'm going to give up for adoption?

Q.   I had asked for help from MANY of the aunts and uncles out here when I found out I was pregnant, and the good news is that things are going well. I have told my parents and they are being very supportive, and my fiance is right by my side through ...

A.   22 August 2010: I honestly think that a tattoo would be a very bad way to remember your child. For a start you are not going down the closed adoption route so you have access to the child. The image of your tattoo will be a permanent reminder of the adoption. I ... (read in full...)

A.   22 August 2010: Jail changes people, and it also makes petty, opportunistic criminals into perpetual, career criminals due to the people they meet inside. If he is a serial offender then it doesn't suggest there is a 'Happy Ever After' ending to this story. He ... (read in full...)

A.   22 August 2010: I have no idea why you want this man to be your son's father. He was a sperm donor. He treats you badly and lets you down when you need him most, he gossips about you and then denies he is the Dad. He is a loser and the only reason he didn't want ... (read in full...)

A.   22 August 2010: I wouldn't be flattered by his attention. I think you should feel grateful that you are not dating him anymore. He is a sleaze. You have to think about how you would feel if you were his girlfriend and he was off texting other girl's asking about ... (read in full...)
