‘Dysfunctional Relationships’
Lying is Bad – Um-Kay?
Doc: I met my girlfriend online and we’ve been together for about 3 months (we’re both in our 30’s.) When we first started going out, I was dating another girl from online too. I was not attracted to this other girl romantically but thought she could be a friend. The problem is I lied to my girlfriend several times when I hung out with this other girl because I didn’t want my girlfriend to worry. I never crossed the line with this other girl.
The Cowardice of “Taking Breaks”
Hey Doc! I’ve been going out with this girl for 3 months now after trying to get with her for about 7. Before we got together she said she didn’t want to date me because she loved me but “wasn’t in love with me”. She later said she was in love with me but still didn’t want to let her guard down.
Turn Her into a “Social Butterfly”
Hey Doc: I’ve been dating someone recently and am really starting to like her. Unfortunately due to our different work schedules we have been limited to what we do however my schedule has begun to open up a bit and I would like to spend more time with her.
My Boyfriend is a Loser!
I’m 27 and my boyfriend is 26, we’ve been going together for 7 years, but quite honestly the last few years have not been good and this summer I really started distancing myself from him.
What’s Her Problem?
I met this girl online about 6 weeks ago and we clicked right away. We talked via the phone and internet for hours at a time almost every night. We even had live video sessions with each other so when she moved back into the area we met up face to face and she seemed to be interested in me. She even kissed me pretty heavily and told me to call her. So everything was going good – or so I thought.
The Problem with Dating Farm Animals
My boyfriend is filthy! In his bathroom the dust and dirt has just accumulated over the year I’ve known him. He doesn’t empty his garbage; even when it gets full he just keeps throwing stuff in the pile. I’ve even watched him throw something on the floor by the garbage can because that is where the rest have started to fall anyway.
Marriage and Religion
Good afternoon Dr. Neder, I have a girlfriend and she and I are in love. Almost everything is perfect – almost. We would really like to get married soon but there is a very subtle and fragile thing that seems to hinder the relationship and seeks to destroy it: Our religious beliefs.
Talk is Cheap – Learn to Do It Right!
Dear Dr. Neder, I saw your articles on the Internet and was hoping that you would give me some advice. My ex-boyfriend broke up with me almost five months ago. He and I were friends for a few years before we dated, and we dated for about 11 months. What bothered him most (as far as he would tell) was that he felt that we didn’t have “connections.” He wanted us to “see eye to eye” and “be on the same page,” and yet as much as we tried, we always ended up misunderstanding each other.
Creating A Void To Be Filled
Dear Sir, I have a huge problem with my girlfriend. I really like her, but I don’t feel love. I am afraid that, at age 25 I will never be in love again unless I brake up with her.
Learning To Be A Man
Doctor: I’ve made a mistake and need help. You see, I’ve been with this girl for three months and she is totally into me, but I’ve grown tired of her. I have already cheated on her 3 times and I want to find a new girlfriend.
At a Loss For Being Selfish
Hello, I’m having some trouble here and would appreciate any advice you have. I have been with my boyfriend for 6 years now, he is my first and only boyfriend, and I am his first and only girlfriend.
Break-Up Fake-Out, Or Move Out Without The Lout?
Dear Dr. Neder, I was reading your article on 10 Signs Its Time to Break Up, so I decided to write. I just broke up with my boyfriend of 2 years (on and off) for various reasons. I broke up with him 2 weeks ago, and now I feel like I made a big mistake.
Knowledge *IS* Power – When You Have It!
Dr. Neder, I feel like I’m in a nose-dive trying to pull the nose of the plane up. In reality, I think it already crashed but I’m denying it.
