I met a guy online and after a couple great dates he confessed that he’s married. He presented himself in his profile as single and wanting a relationship. I really like him but feel totally blindsided and whorish for cheating. Dishonesty in dating can be found regardless of how this date was sourced, so you can’t blame online dating. You also can’t blame yourself. You entered into a dating relationship knowing what information he provided and nothing more. Now you know, and what you do with it is your call. If you continue seeing him, then yes you are a knowing participant to his cheating. If you continue seeing him, you know that he’s kept the truth from you once and deception is an
Lately my boyfriend has been so mad at me. I can’t do anything right and he finds problems with everything I do. I’m at my breaking point, but I don’t want to throw away a yearlong relationship. There are two possibilities with this scenario... one is that there’s obviously something going on in his world that’s causing him grief and changing his demeanor. Maybe it’s work or maybe it’s family- the only way to find out is to have an open and honest conversation. The other is that after a year in, he’s just being himself and as such he’s a critical guy. That scenario requires an open and honest conversation as well. The key is to initiate the dialogue in a non-accusative manner. Make su
Very recently we lost our dog, and it was devastating to us. Adopting him was the first real thing we did together as a couple. The problem is that my husband wants to replace him immediately and I just can’t even think about it without tearing up. I’m so sorry for your loss. Mourning isn’t easy but it’s necessary. Your husband’s heart is in the right place because he most likely thinks getting a puppy now will alleviate the sadness you both feel. He can’t be faulted for that whatsoever. Tell your husband you really need a moment to take it all in, feel the feelings and process the loss. Explain that a little time will allow you to move forward to a new adventure with a new puppy. H
I’ve been in a relationship for over a year and we just got engaged. Since the engagement my co-workers have been really critical of my fiancée, saying things like “…well, he does make less money than you…” and “…he does spend a lot of time with his friends…” Comments like this never happened before (quite the opposite actually) and I’m not sure how to handle it. It’s never easy when bad words happen to good people. You say that prior to your engagement they had nothing at all bad to say, so it makes me wonder what changed… could it be a little sparkle on your ring finger? Are these co-workers single or in unhappy relationships because if so, that just might be the answer. Sometimes unha
I’m attracting a lot of guys online, however some of these men are just not my type. They send very nice and complimentary messages to me, which makes it hard to say no. Sometimes you’ve got to channel Nancy Reagan and just say no. If there’s zero attraction on your part, there’s no point in faking it just to make a nice guy not feel badly. Doing so is actually a disservice to him. Be honest and friendly; say thank you, but I don’t think we’re a match and wish them luck on their search. Sending this message is nicer than just not responding. Granted, not responding gets the job done too, but being friendly with your refusal is the way to go. I’ve been dating a guy for six months. We m
