Monday Night Football is the bane of my existence. Every week my husband settles into his favorite chair for at least three straight hours of football. This week I want things to be different.

Even though it’s hot and steamy outside, my love life is anything but. Any tips on how, after being married for only a few years, my husband and I can spice things up? The first thing you need to do is think back to when your love life was better. By now, the two of [...]

I’m thinking about breaking up with my boyfriend, but his birthday is coming up. Should I postpone the inevitable until after his big day? It’s hard for me to offer advice without knowing more about your situation. Why do you want to break up with him? Are you fighting all the time? Have you met [...]

I’m getting married in a couple of months and I honestly couldn’t be happier – or so I thought. My fiancé is wonderful and I love him deeply. But the other day, I ran into a man with whom I was once very much in love. The meeting was such a fluke. I was getting on [...]

I’ve been in a serious relationship for almost four years with a man I truly love and, about a year ago, he took a job in another city. Ever since, we’ve been commuting back and forth on the weekends. Things were going well but last weekend he said he didn’t know if he wanted to [...]

My best friend is a guy and we’re always together but there’s a problem – I have more than platonic feelings for him. Friends have told me that he feels the same way and everyone who sees us together says we should be a couple. We tried dating once before and it didn’t work well [...]

My boyfriend and I will celebrate our first anniversary soon and I’m sure he’s the one. I think I should ask him to marry me. What do you think? Oh sweetie, I’d definitely give this a lot of thought before you go through with it! Most girls dream about the day when the love of [...]

I met this man that I dated for a while. He left me for someone else, but at least he was honest with me and didn’t just do it. The other woman totally dissed and dumped him. I was there for him, and ever since he has been trying to get back into my life. [...]

I have been with my boyfriend for three-and-a-half years – we are practically married. We live together, and even share money. I love him, and feel that he is “the one”, but our sex life is non-existent. While he is the love of my life, I cheated on him. Does this mean I should break [...]

I really need help. I am in a very serious romantic relationship with my boyfriend. However, I am also incredibly close with one of my guy friends. My boyfriend and I got into a huge argument because he is jealous over “how much more naturally” I act with my friend than I do with him. [...]

Recently, I broke up with my girlfriend to sort out some family and school issues. During this time, she slept with a guy and regrets it. Now she wants to get back together, but I can’t help thinking that something of ours has been taken away. Am I being unfair? Yes, you are being extremely [...]

A long-distance relationship is kind of like buying futures on the commodities market: You’re deferring immediate profits. Whether or not this is the right romance option for you depends both on your temperament and what life-developmental phase you’re growing through.
