My boyfriend and I broke up 6 months ago. He was my bestfriend and I’m having a very hard time getting over it. I always thought we’d get back together, but it hasn’t happened. Now I’m obsessed with looking on his facebook. If he posts new pictures with girls, I feel jealous and sick. He […]
My grandmother is always commenting on mine and my sister’s weight, the way we look—our hair, clothing, whatever. She says we must always look our best or else we’ll never find a husband–like this is my goal in life! This makes me not want to see her, but then I feel badly. I don’t understand […]
My sister is very close (maybe too close) with her only daughter who is graduating and going to a prestigious university in the fall. She’s always been dependent on my niece for emotional support. Now everything is falling apart in their family. My sister’s recent behavior is bizarre and out of control. She’s drinking a […]
I have a college degree, but my job is unrelated. My fiancé urges me to go to graduate school. He’s the first person in my life to believe in me. It’s my dream, but I’m afraid I won’t get accepted. I know he wants his wife to be a professional. What if I fail? What […]
I’m pregnant and getting married soon. I work, but don’t like my job. My fiancé wants me to go back to work right after the baby is born. He feels strongly about it, but I don’t understand why. I said ok, but secretly I want to stay home with the baby. What would he do […]
My partner Jason and I were foster fathers to Juan who unfortunately got into trouble, was diagnosed with schizophrenia and placed in a residential setting. The adoption never happened.

I instantly connected with my friend when we first met at work. We had a lot in common and I admired her. Now I’m noticing things that really bother me. At work she acts like she knows best, but sometimes has claimed my ideas as her own. When we have plans, she is always late […]
My boyfriend has had a female best-friend since before we met. It was fine until now it seems like he’s giving her a LOT more attention and it’s bothering me. We were at a club and she was with her boyfriend. My boyfriend kept running over to tell her things, laughing, hugging and making a […]
My problem is that I have feelings for my best-friend’s boyfriend. I think about him all the time. He has let me know he’s interested in me too. I know it’s not right for me to want her boyfriend, but she used to flirt with my ex. and she knew it really bothered me. I […]
My husband won’t leave our 1 ½ year daughter so we can go away, even if my mom babysits. I say we need our time together, but he says she’s more important. I adore our daughter, her needs are priority, but this is extreme. My husband’s mother repeatedly told him to hide his finances when […]
