  • Exes at the Wedding

    Q: I'm starting to get the guest list together for my upcoming wedding. I asked my fiance to give me his list so I could start ordering invites. He had his ex wife on the list. I don't have a problem with her but I just don't want her at my wedding. I mentioned this to him and he said that she wants to be there to see and support their daughter walk down the aisle as the flower girl. He doesn't see it as a…

  • My Girlfriend is Celibate

    Q: Recently my girlfriend started experimenting with different religious views. She grew up in a non-practicing Jewish home and has never really embraced any organized belief system. But now she's researching a bunch of different things to get in tune with her "higher self", like mediation and chanting. I've been supportive of everything she's interested in even if it's not my thing. Part of her expanding spirituality is a decision to be celibate. She thinks it will help her focus if she removes that type of physical…

  • My Engagement Ring Sucks

    Q: My boyfriend proposed to me last week and I’m very excited about our future. We’ve been through a lot in the past four years (break up, job loss, miscarriage) and it feels good to finally make a statement to the world that we’re still strong. The problem is I hate the ring. I don’t just dislike it, I literally can’t stand the sight of it. I’m not superficial at all and it’s not about the size of the diamond or how expensive it is. It’s the…

  • Best Friend Dating A Jerk

    Q: My best friend is dating a jerk and she doesn’t seem to see it. Every time I’ve hung out with them he has some snarky, sarcastic comment to say to her. He tries to disguise it as a joke but it’s clear to everyone (except my friend) that he’s simply being an ass.  Normally, I’d have no problem telling her how I feel. But I haven’t because before she started dating him, I had hooked up with him once and I don’t want her to think…

  • I’m not gay but…

    Q: I'm a 20 yr old guy and I have a pretty active dating life. I'm definitely not looking to get serious with anyone. About a month ago a buddy from high school came up to visit me. I hadn't seen him in years and he has since come out as gay. I thought it would be slightly awkward but it was totally cool and it felt like nothing was different. He even told me that in high school he had a big crush…

  • My Friend’s Dad

    Q: I went home with my dorm roommate last weekend and stayed with her at her dad’s house. He was supposed to be out of town but he ended up being there the whole time. And he is hot! I tried not to pay too much attention to him but my attraction was too much. It didn’t help that he was so charming and slightly flirtatious. Once when my friend was in the shower and I was sitting watching TV, he came up behind me and squeezed…
