Attracted To A Married Man: V
Hi Queenie, I’m just curious, why have you not responded to my latest emails? Are you disgusted/done with me? Or are you simply too busy? Just so you know, my MM’s father recently died, and I still have not called him. It happened last Sunday. I really want to just send him a message that I care, but don’t want to get into that whole mess again. Should I contact him? Can I? He hasn’t been at work for me to contact him safely. I figure he’s got enough going on. Continue reading
Bobby Brown And Whitney Houston
I’ve watched the reality TV show, Being Bobby Brown, as camera crews have followed Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston throughout their “normal” days and nights. I definitely don’t see either of them as good role models. It was no surprise when their marriage collapsed and Houston filed for divorce in September 2006 to end their 14-year marriage. Quite frankly, I’m surprised they didn’t maim or destroy each other years earlier. Continue reading

Attracted To A Married Man: Part III
Hi. First off let me say thank you again. I appreciate your advice!!! Now (please) let me continue with my saga: First, I just want to clear the air, I have NEVER visioned myself as the other woman, nor do we enjoy being in this situation. We fully understand the circumstances and atleast I know that right now, it IS an emotional affair. I am sure he has no idea what an emotional affair is. But I WILL educate him the next time I see him!!! Continue reading
Attracted To A Married Man: Part II
Hey Queenie: Thanks for the quick reply and the great advice!! I took it to heart!!! I broke up with him the next time I saw him (last Friday night), after we both agonized over it for hours. We talked about everything that we felt was so right but we knew was so wrong!!! We agreed that it was best, for both of us (and everyone involved). When I left him that night to go home, I could not help but to feel absolutely devastated. I felt like I had been dating this man for 10 years and I did not understand why I was so distraught? But none the less, we agreed to only talk about work, while at work on work phones. And that was it!!! Continue reading
Attracted To A Married Man
Hi. I just stumbled upon your site. I am a single w/f 37 yoa and lonely. I am attractive, but have a very hard time meeting men. Just to say it I am a home body with no real hobbies, so I often find myself at home alone (which I am totally comfortable with). It’s my safe place and I love it!!! I’ve met a man who is married. He’s been married for 20 years, and has 2 kids (I’m not sure of they’re exact ages but they are not children). Continue reading
Can This Relationship Be More?
A long time ago I had a good friend. We’ll call him “Chris”. He’s a great guy and always was. We were really close and there was always something more there but, well I guess we were both afraid of ruining a good friendship and never acted on it. And it was probably the smart thing to do because we were pretty young then. But we’re both 37 now and have married and divorced. I thought about him a lot over the years, even while I was married. We lost touch for a long time but fate has put us together again. We work together now and all those feelings are still there and stronger than ever. Continue reading
A Relationship Worth Ending
Hi Queenie, my boyfriend for 7 years is now keeping a distance from me. My brother passed away last June. He died suddenly with a condition that the virus was attacking his heart, damaged his heart muscles and caused heart failure. Since October last year, my boyfriend has been telling me that life has been difficult and he would like to keep a distance, because my brother died stupidly (my boyfriend thinks that my brother did not take care himself well and being irresponsible and caused my parents, my sister and I suffer for the rest of our lives). My boyfriend thinks he does not deserve to be with a “sad” family. Continue reading
Adult Child Of An Alcoholic
Dear Queenie: This is a long one. Ever since I can remember my mother has been an alcoholic. I am not an only child, but sometime I feel as if I am. I have two older sisters that are 1 year apart from each other, and I am at least 9 yrs apart from the both of them. Even though they are older then me if seems as if I am the oldest of all three. See they come to me when they need help with things. I know they do that because we really can’t trust my mother to be sober enough to help us. Continue reading
Sex Without Emotional Intimacy
Dear Queenie: I’ve had a friend/intimate relationship with a man twelve years older than I for two years. We have both been hurt by two divorces each. We have a terrific intimate relationship but not intimate emotionally. We are both scared but I need more and he told me he can not give more. I don’t think we would make a good married couple because although we get along great and have a lot in common, I don’t like how he puts down other people. He is also a bit self-centered, but the sex is fantastic. Continue reading
Confess Or Keep Quiet?
Dear Queenie, I have read a large number of your answers concerning this topic, but I have been unable to find any situation similar enough to my own to feel that my question was answered. I hope that you will not find this email too long to post, because a response would mean the world to me. I do not have friends who I can confide in. My boyfriend is my best friend, and I have not talked to him about this, for reasons which will become obvious. Continue reading
