Dear Queenie, I have a boyfriend that I absolutely love (for almost four years now) and intend to stay with. However, I never felt this attracted before for someone else, an older guy that used to be my agency’s boss and hits on me all the time, or in other words, every time we talk.

But What Else Is He Doing?
My husband look at men /men having sex.
Most men are very sexual creatures and enjoy sex in many ways. If he is looking, I wouldn’t be too concerned. If he is having sex with men then I’d be concerned. If he is having sex with men you need to protect yourself if/when you have sex with him. The spread of HIV/AIDS from male lover(s) to husband to wife is not uncommon. ~ Queenie

Love At First Sight?
I have always believed in love at first sight, and when I saw this guy (we’ll call him Harry), when I saw Harry two nights ago I fell in love immediately. My whole being longed to be with his.

Blending Together
I am separated from my same-sex partner of 18.5 years (couldn’t get married for legal reasons). We have two 10 year old girls and we split custody fairly amicably.
For the last year I have been in a relationship with a family friend the whole family has known for about 3.5 years. The girls like him very much and he loves them as his own (he has 2 grown children). He works out of our house so he is here every day and the kids really enjoy being with him. Continue reading Blending Together
How Can He Please Her?
My question is how can I please my girlfriend again after a serious quarrel?
That’s a very vague question with TLI for me to know what that serious quarrel was about or how many times you’ve been having that same serious quarrel. Did you cheat, again? If that’s the “quarrel” then maybe you’ve run out of chances with her. Whatever happened, if you really want to try again, talk to her, say you’re sorry, beg, cry, promise her anything. If she forgives, don’t screw up again. If she won’t forgive, take it as a learning experience and don’t screw up when you’re in a new relationship. ~ Queenie
Does She Love Him?
I want 2 know if the i girl proposed truely loves me bt i don’t know how?
Marriage is serious. It really should last a lifetime although it’s difficult to know which lifetime that is: the lifetime warranty on a PlayStation; the lifetime warranty on a set of tires; the lifetime warranty on a pacemaker. Or maybe your lifetime. Regardless of which lifetime, why would you propose to someone you’re not sure is in love with you? If she said “yes” that should be your answer–at least for whatever lifetime fits her definition. ~ Queenie

In Trouble For Snooping
My boyfriend and i live together and he recently went to jail. While he was in there i went snooping through his stuff and found many incriminating pictures of him and his ex girlfriend. He didn’t know how to explain them. He was upset because i went through his stuff, but i need a good reason why he has these pics and why he brought them into our house.
When Is Enough, Enough?
I have known my husband for 8 years, married 4.5 of those. From the very beginning we always had problems about his dishonesty, lieing, flirting with other girls, and really not being a good boy-friend. We accidentally got pregnant, and broke up for a year and a half.
Too Friendly With Their Exes?
My boyfriend and I have a great relationship except for one problem: He and I are both divorced and we are both on good terms with our exes. I speak to my ex about once a week on the phone and see him about once a month for lunch.
She Thinks She’s Boring
I haven’t dated in over four years. I finally found a man I’m interested in, but when I talk to him on the phone or in person I get all tonge tied. I feel like I’m a boring person. I don’t do this with other man, just him. What can I do to get past this, before I ruin it. Thanks
He’s Found His Soul Mate
Queenie, I am insane about a girl and I have never been like this before. I’m 28, good looking and have always been “in tune” with women’s feelings, but this one has me over the barrel.
His Girlfriend Is Torn Between Two Lovers
I’m a 37 year old male who has been in a committed 3 year relationship. I love the girl very much and had intentions of marriage as did she at one time. Due to a few bumps in the road, ie-she was in a near fatal accident (I helped nurse her back to health over a period of approximately 1 1/2 years and some financial/business difficulties on my part), marriage was pushed to the side.
Should She Contact The Other Woman?
I’ve been in a relationship with someone I love deeply for 5 years. I suspect he’s also been seeing someone else off and on. Of course, he is of the deny till you die mentality, but my intuition is screaming at me.
Is He Too Insecure For a Relationship?
Hi, I seperated and divorced from my ex 2 years ago, we were together 21 years, I am 43. 6 weeks after I moved out I met my current boyfriend/fiance, who I fell head over heels about when we met. The problem is that he wants to be with me 24/7, we work together and are with each other at night.
They’ve Switched Roles
Should I try to rescue our relationship? My situation is that I have been married for 21 years and my husband recently told me that he no longer loves me. He says he doesn’t hate me, just does not have any feelings for me as a wife.
Taking Time To Grieve
i have recently split up with a man that i thought i was in love with, we were very happy most of the time. but he had a friend that died a year before i met him, they where very close. i felt that he had not had much time to gieve, and wanted to support him. we talked lots about her, and death, it made me very sad. sad for a girl to die so young, and sad for her family.
What Was The Question?
I was going out with someone just getting to know him and it was not going anywhere for me, but for him he seemed comfortable with the was it was going (or so it seemed). He had mentioned that he wanted to take a step further and not be freinds.
Why Did She Leave?
This girl I was dating for 8 months just broke up with me after a wonderful weekend getaway we just had. We didn’t fight, and in fact never had any problems except she would occasionally remind me that she just didn’t know what she wanted.
Her Husband’s Fantasy

Is He Really Getting a Divorce?
I have been involved involved with a man for four years. In the early stages of our courtship, he told me he was separated from his wife for a year, and that he had a four year old daughter. At the beginning our our relationship, these facts did not bother me.
Star Power
I have been with my girlfriend for 3 years now, but the fact that she like this celeb has bugged me, i feel like if he were here, she’s eventually leave, or have even STRONGER feelings for him and wouldn’t leave me because she’s feel sorry about my feelings, I feel like she’d be TONS happier with him, even though she says she wouldn’t be, so should i worry about this at all?
Friend in Need?
My friend of Three years has been acting really strange lately. When we first met we were unsepartable. We spent holdidays together, spent the night at each others houses, I even cooked for her when I wouldn’t cook for my man. We were tight.
He Won’t Tell Her What’s Wrong
My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 2 years now. We’ve known each other since we were kids. We both married, raised a family, and now both divorced. It was good in the beginning of our relationship, but then all relationships are good in the beginning right? We both have alot in common; music, movies, kids, etc.

Ugly Rumors
Help!!!!!! My boyfriend of three years has heard rumors of me cheating, but… I havn’t!! He says he wants to believe me but its hard to when so many are telling him these things. Not to mention someone has called him and said “your girlfriend hasn’t been faithful to you…” What? Who is this guy!
Afraid of Losing Him
I am 20 and been in a relationship for almost two yrs.

Not The Time For Serious Dating
I am 33 and currently going through a divorce. Recently I met a 26 year old girl at work. We are both very interested in each other. When I met her she had a boyfriend who she has lived with for 5 years. By meeting me she realized many problems she had not realized in her own relationship. I brought them to light by the way I treated her, which was much better than her boyfriend treated her. She broke up with him to be with me even though my divorce is not final.
Can She Trust Him Again?
I married a man who when I met him was separated from his wife. He said he was not happy in the relationship and that she did want to give it a go except he wanted to be with me, now three years into our relationship we are married with a baby I found out he has been in contact with her the whole time, even sending her gifts and a picture of our baby.

Too Much In Love?

Is Porn Cheating?
I am a 31 year old woman that feels neglected. Emotionally and physically. My husband and I have only been married for 2 years. We have no sex life. He is always tired. I can understand that. His job is not the easiest in the world.
Loving A Married Man
Why does everyone condemn loving a married man? Haven’t people ever heard of divorce or 2nd marriages? Often military men marry young because of inexperience when they go overseas. For the woman, the desire is often to come to the States. One day the boy grows up and realizes that lust is not love, and this marriage is not working.
Should She Worry About His Ex?
My boyfriend has a very close relationship with his ex-girlfriend. they lived together for 3 yrs. They broke up 8 months before we met (he and i are in a on-again-off-again 5 months now–for a lot of reasons). He and his ex constantly talk on the phone to this very day. I told him that this bothers me. I don’t see why they still have to keep close contact with each other–they have no kids, don’t work together, etc. He even told her that I am jealous of her!
