Look. Feelings are feelings whether you are 15 or 51. It is all real. But shyness can be a good thing. Like someone already said, just continue being friends. The rest will come naturally. What...

Why are you staying in this relationship? Perhaps because you are afraid you won't find anyone else? I think a lot of people do that and I do understand why. One thing is for sure. You will have...

No easy answers to a struggle that both men and women have. And you are right, these types of feelings can undermine and destroy a relationship. There are some very good books out there that could...

This is not a question that can be answered in a message like this. I suggest you go to the nearest County Health Department Clinic or Planned Parenthood. There are people there who can help you...

There is nothing worse than lack of closure. So I totally understand how you feel. But relationships are a two-way street. Even when ending one... You can't make someone respond to you. Here is...

We are all human and just because we love and are married to and dedicated to one person does not mean we don't recognize others that we may be attracted to. But it is how you react that can affect...

What was said below is very true. Remember, death is as much a part of life as birth. I have found that taking time to reflect on that relationship and savor the good memories is healing. Try not...

If you are in the USA, an emergency room cannot turn you away. They can't even ask about insurance until after a doctor sees you. But do take him in while he has a fever. Otherwise they will not...

Communication is always a challenge. Especially when a young adult is trying to estabish their independence. Setting specific expectations like call me once a week may not work. Does she text or...

You wrote this some time ago. So not sure if you are still watching for answers here. I do believe in God. But let's not go into that just now. You clearly had a tragic beginning in life and I...

It has been a while since you wrote this. I hope you are feeling better. Change is always difficult. For me, I find goals help. Even very small goals like going for a walk or reading a self help...

Well, as I am sure your healthcare provided told you, you need to keep it in the refrigerator as you collect it. That is quite important. So this can be a bit difficult at work. You probably don't...

My personal belief is that the Bible is like a user's guide for humans. Everything in it is based on what works best and what will make us the most happy. You have no control over your ex, just...

BRRF: In your original discussion, you mentioned religion as a possible factor. If that is true (and I assume it likely is) that does take things up a notch. Do your parents know you consider...

Romeo and Juliet come to mind. I only point that out because this problem is as old as love itself. And there are no easy answers.

It would seem that in your case you truly do have to choose...

Sounds like you should go to a doctor. If you do not have one there are clinics (Planned Parenthood, County Health Department) or even a local Emergency Room.

Hope this helps.

Friends are very special to be sure and add a great deal of meaning to life, but I am not sure there is a magic number to have. Personally I seem to only have time for a few at any given time. And...

Not only can you get pregnant, it sounds like you may already be pregnant.

You are getting mixed messages for sure. Sounds like she is confused. Maybe if you could ask the right question it would help her open up.

One thing you said stands out. You said she brought...

My daughter has an 18 month old girl. Clearly the child is coming into the terrible twos early. Tantrums and all I am told. (I live 2,000 miles away and do not get to be there as often as I would...

This is clearly an emotional topic. My daughter has struggled with her mother in law who thinks it is her right to tell her son and my daughter how to live their lives. She takes it personally when...
