Question:
How long do I weight?
I believe I am addicted to food. I have battled with my weight for years, losing and gaining back. I know how to eat right and I know why I'm over weight but I just can't seem to do what's right. Please help me to figure out how to stop the madness. I know the root of why I overeat too and once I faced it I thought I could stop using food to mask my pain but I still can't stop. Help!!!!

Question:
I'm going to go CRAZYYYY!
My boyfriend and I have been together for over 2 years and recently sex has been decreasing. He and I made a deal that every other night if one partner wanted to have sex then the other would have to give in. Even though this arrangement is working better, I get so aggravated because I have a higher sex drive. He has a very low tolerance for my wanting to talk about this and gets angry whenever I bring up the subject. He thinks that it's not always about sex and I don't know how to explain to him how I feel without getting into an argument.

Question:
I don't know what to do...
I met my husband while we were in the Military. I became pregnant in the mist of what I thought was going to be a one night stand. I later fell in love and we married. I was 7 months pregnant. One month later he went to Iraq for a year. My husband is a devoted Catholic & does not believe in divorce. My problem is that I think that he married out of responsibility, not out of love. We fight constantly about this subject. I don't know what to do. I made an appointment to see a lawyer about filing for a divorce. Do you think this is a good idea or do you think I'm over reacting? Please help!

Question:
Worry wort
My husband had an affair about 2 yrs ago and we decided to try and work things out. He says he is sorry and would NEVER do that again. Through this experience, I have developed severe anxiety with panic attacks. My husband tries to make me feel better, calling when he is at work, on his way home, when he gets home etc. Despite all his efforts, I am still distrustful and worried. I was a victim of sexual assault in my teens and the affair has resurfaced some of those old memories??? Will I ever recover? How can I "fix" my anxiety?

Question:
Lies
I have been married for 21 years and my husband is 10 years older than I. He constantly avoids answering my questions when it comes to his family or, hell just lie to me. How can I trust him with other matters in my life. He says that I am the only person he chooses not to talk and communicate with. I feel like I am treated like a child and with disrespect. What do you recommend I should do?.....

Question:
YOUNGER WOMAN
I have being seeing this woman for about 4 years. We have been through our ups and downs, mostly caused by me. I have cheated more than once mentally. There is a lot of mistrust and doubt in our relationship. In addition, my family is un-accepting of her because she is younger and of another race. I have lost her trust and I am starting to not trust her as she is pulling away. I need some help on what to do about this relationship. Should I stay or should I let go ?

Question:
Lazy Boyfriend
I have been with my boyfriend for almost 11 months. He only has odd jobs for family. He doesn't have a car and it wouldn't be that big of a deal except our relationship is long distance. We had a good relationship at first but now he rarely calls and I am lucky to see him once a month. I am just wondering what you think of my situation. I am just afraid of being alone I dont know what to do anymore.

Question:
Am I Being too Understanding or Just plain Dumb?
My situation is this: When I met my boyfriend he was still married. He had numerous affairs and basically lived a single life when he was still with her. He is now divorced. Over the past 4 years he has gone back to her at least 5 times. One of the times he went to her, she became pregnant. I eventually accepted him back again and doing so with his new baby has been the hardest thing I have ever done. His ex calls him constantly, invites him places and is ready and available to him. They hang out together at family functions that I am never invited too. He says they are just trying to remain friends for his children's sake. I don't trust him because of his past, and, because she wants him back. He has changed a lot, treats me great and is trying hard to show me how much he loves me. He has even suggested counseling for us. Should I let down my guard and let it go, or just simply let him go. Is it ok for him to hang out with her and for them to be buddys?
