He likes what he does, but he doesn’t live for work. I try to always take advantage of the opportunities that come up to build my career and these opportunities end up being conflicts in our relationship. Do you think we shouldn’t be together?
I end up going back just to feel close to him—I cave into the crave. How do I stop?
A couple of months ago I found out that he was very much into incest porn. This is something he is extremely ashamed of. One night, after he fell asleep, I checked his history even though I told him I would respect his personal life.
Does he have a plan for paying the bills while he’s investing in his passion? Do you share similar lifestyle expectations? What’s his relationship with money? Has he planned for a side job that will help the two of you make ends meet?
I’ve been with my boyfriend for about a year. He doesn’t have many friends and his ex-girlfriend is one of his closest friends. They “share” her dog. He loves this dog and sees his ex like a sister. I don’t have a problem with that.
At the start of dating, my wife told me the number of men she’s had sex with was 3. She’s recently admitted that the real number is 40. How do I not despise her for this? She has been my best friend for a long time, but she has also lied a LOT about sexual things.
I’ve met a wonderful man who’s 36, and he doesn’t know I’m 35 yet. He hasn’t asked for my age, but I feel he needs to know ASAP, as he might want someone younger considering I look like I’m 25 maximum. I want a husband and a family, but I’m afraid that he won’t want me because I’m too old. What if no man my age will want me anymore?
He’s never gotten it right in the seven years we’ve been together. He just doesn’t think it through. I got a card, and we ate out at a place in the neighborhood we go to all the time. It was just another uneventful night, and I certainly didn’t feel special. How can I get him to nail it? He doesn’t have a clue.
I really hate feeling ignored, and yet I know I’ve never met him, and he’s not in love with me, and, aside from all that, he’s leading a busy life. What’s reasonable to expect in the texting phase?
My girlfriend and I have been together for five years. Two weeks ago I asked her about our future and what she wants for her life in the next decade or so. She told me she doesn’t want to have kids.
My girlfriend and I have been together for seven years. From the beginning, I’ve been the dom and she has been my sub. Recently we had a heart to heart where she expressed she’s no longer happy being the sub, and instead wants to switch our relationship around and flip the power dynamics so she’s the dom and I’m the sub.
My husband and I broke up two months ago and the split was ugly. A week ago he called me and said he wanted to try again. I was very excited because I missed him so much even though my friends thought he treated me like crap.
During our reconciliation, he told me he hadn’t kissed another woman while we were apart.
“This was without a doubt, life-changing. I had no idea that my marriage could be this intimate, fun and safe by applying what I learned. It’s been three months now, and our marriage is unrecognizable in the best ways possible. I can’t thank you enough, Wendy.”
Audrey H. – San Francisco, California
“Why weren’t we taught this in school??? This is right on and has already transformed my relationship with my boyfriend. It feels magical and visceral. Thank you!”
Kim A. – Sedona, Arizona
“Thank you, Wendy, for your generous insight and compassionate understanding of men. I joined your workshop with my mother. We are desperately trying to break eight generations of bad relationship dynamics with the men in our family. I’m sure that we are on a different path and look forward to a bright future being happy and healthy in our relationships with all men in our lives. All my love.” Hailey B. – Seattle, Washington
