Dear C; Just this week, I got a threatening letter from the credit department of the company I leased my car from. A few months ago, they sent me a $500 property tax bill on my car and I thought it was just to let me know they’d paid it. I leased a car in […]
Dear C; I just buried my poor old cat after caring for her while she was sick. It was a difficult time, because I couldn’t get any clear answers. The cat began having strokes and was not in good shape, yet the vet told me she wasn’t suffering because little was registering in her brain. […]
Dear C, I was in an abusive relationship for about a decade. With the help of a therapist and some wonderful friends, I found my way out. Since becoming single, I have not been able to have a normal relationship. I don’t trust anyone, have trouble approaching women and have huge problems with commitment. As […]
Dear C: I have been dating a woman many years my senior for about 18 months. We have had a great relationship that has never been boring or status quo. We are both very independent, live in different cities, and travel for our work. When we first got together she admitted that she was somewhat […]
Dear C: I realize now that I got involved with “Jack” because I was lonely. He’s creative, entertaining, and really cute, but he also had drastic mood swings and seemed lost without attention. I didn’t mind “sharing” him with several other women he’d call or message when the impulse struck him to “get his thoughts […]
Dear C; I have RBF (Resting Bitch Face) and it’s ruining my life. People think I am pissed off all the time. I’m not! It’s just that when I am not even thinking about anything at all, my face naturally looks bitchy. I didn’t even know RBF existed until my roommate told me. I looked […]
Dear C; I’ve always wanted children. I’ve gone out with a number of guys and had one serious relationship, but in the end, what decided it for me was the kids factor. Most guys in their 20s actually seem afraid of children. Then I met Danny. He’s fun to be with, the attraction is there, […]
Dear C; I’ve known Erik for about six months. At first we were just friends, but as things went on I began to feel really attracted to him. I thought I was picking up those vibes from him too, and I was really starting to think we were on the way to something more. On […]
Dear C, My daughter, Lila, is 14 and she had been complaining that she doesn’t want to go on visitations with her dad anymore. I have no reason to believe she’s in any danger or that there’s some kind of abuse going on. She doesn’t come home covered with bruises or telling stories about wild […]
Dear C; During the holidays, I had a falling out with a friend. Let me start by saying that I have my own issues. I was touched inappropriately as a child, with no say in the matter. Physical intimacy has never been a casual thing for me. When I was younger, I sometimes let guys […]
