Two Wonderful Men To Choose From

Dear Queenie, I am a 25 year old woman, student, and worker. I try to make smart choices, and therefore had waited to have a family. I met my boyfriend Pit 7 years ago. During all this time we broke up several times, because we are very different and we can’t agree or understand each other most of the time (among other problems). He is 9 years older than me. So age is part of the issue, or at least I considered being. He is the serious type of guy, responsible, and respectful. Continue reading

A Man From Her Past

Dear Queenie: I have got a whale of a predicament! I have been dating my boyfriend for 7 months, as well as having him live with me, but a man from my past has entered the picture once again.

However, for the last 3 months, our relationship has been increasingly tense and my sexual drive towards him is decreasing into nonexistance. Continue reading

She’s In His Will?

My high school sweetheart and I starting dating again about 3 years ago–both divorced. We see each other almost every day: dinner, movies, trips, events etc. I love her completely and date no others. Our sex life is awesome. The past year and half or so, an old boy friend she dated about 10 years ago–after her divorce–started calling her. Continue reading

Eight Months Pregnant

I’m eight months pregnant and on bed rest due to signs of preterm labor. I can’t work or venture to the grocery store. My boyfriend told me that he can’t stand me and I have pretty solid proof that he’s been sleeping with someone else. We don’t live together, but I’m thinking of moving to get away from the whole situation. I like my doctor here, and when I’m back from maternity related leave I have a job that I like as well. Continue reading

Back From Paradise

I spent the past two months cruising and visiting some of the most beautiful places in the world. Of course a lot of the time I spent playing cards with some of the old ladies I met on the ship, and even more time I spent feeding nickels into slot machines so I could get free pina coladas. Continue reading

Doesn’t Want To Be A Fool Again

Dear Queenie, my bf of 7yrs. works in banking. he has been fired several times or just gets moved around to different banks. every time he goes to a new branch or bank he get infatuated with a co worker. I have only known him 7 years but before that I think it was the same when he was married. Most of the ladies I think are flattered but not really interested in him as he is not very good looking. one lady a few years ago lead him on I think to make her other boyfriend jealous or for gifts that he would lavish on her. as a rule he is not very gorgeous.

Worried About Her BFF’s BF

Dear Queenie, my best friend of 14 years has been in a long-distance relationship for more than a year now. She moved away for college about two years back and I’ve only recently met her boyfriend. For some reason I’m not getting good vibes from him and his behaviour seems too obsessive. He doesn?t let her be friends with guys or even go to parties if he is not around. If for some reason she is unable to pick his calls he calls me asking where she is. My friend seems different now from when we started college. She used to laugh and go out a lot but now she just sits at home and just seems sad in general. Continue reading
