Continue readingI feel horrible writing this email but I wanted to get it off my chest. I broke up with my boyfriend of 7 years 6 months ago and it was incredibly painful and heart breaking for me.

Continue readingI am a 37 year old single mom and I have been seeing a 25 year old man for a while. Since the relationship began very casually with no real expectations, it was fun, lively and enjoyable. Recently, he expressed his interest in a long term committed relationship with me.

Continue readingHi, My boyfriend and I share a great relationship. Recently his best friend moved to town and since then, I have felt insecure and jealous. My boyfriend and she have a great rapport and even though he told me about her quite often during our relationship, it didn’t affect me a great deal at that time because she was in a different state and they communicated mainly via phone and emails…
