It's worth the risk of being a fool when you gamble on love

I have a crush on a guy friend I've known for several years. I've always been with someone else, and he's had a few shorter-term relationships through the years so we have remained friends and not anything more. I'm going to visit him this spring as he's in another city temporarily for his job.

Woman needs to pull the plug on husband's Xbox

I love my husband dearly, but he is addicted to his Xbox and it is coming between us. If we have an argument about the Xbox he gets defensive and returns right to his games, leaving me in a tearful mess. He plays when he gets off (usually at noon because he only does half days at the moment) and when I get home at 6 p.m. the sink is full of dishes, the dog needs to go for a walk, and I get stuck doing all of it.

Valentine's Day brings back bad memories for this man

Valentine's Day isn't exactly my favorite day. Many years ago, I proposed to my first girlfriend on Valentine's Day. She said yes. We were young and in love. It went well for a while, but eventually we grew up, grew apart and split four years later.

Valley man at wits' end trying to find good woman

Save me please! Where are all the women who say they can't find a good man? I'm a good man -- at least that is what all my friends say. I'm no Brad Pitt, but no Newman from Seinfeld either. I have a good job. I know I'm not perfect, but I'm easy-going, friendly, honest, faithful, caring and trusting. I love cats and dogs. Aren't these the qualities women are looking for?

Mom upset son is leaving state to be with girlfriend

My son is moving halfway across the country to be with a girl, and I think he is making a huge mistake. This girl is not good enough for him. I know every mother thinks that about her son's girlfriend but I really mean it. I have only met her a couple times, but I can tell you she is fake from head to toe and I don't trust her.

Which Super Bowl party should football fan attend?

A buddy of mine has been planning a Super Bowl party since the beginning of this season. He's lined up a hotel suite with two big TVs and has even arranged for catered BBQ on game day. He's also planning a poker game the night before with pizza and beer.

Woman grows weary of boyfriend always correcting her

My boyfriend is really great, except for this one annoying thing. He corrects everything I say, or at least it feels like he is always correcting me. He will get into arguments sometimes just for the fun of it, and he won't stop even once he realizes he's wrong.

Deployed military man seeks advice on finding Ms. Right

I am currently deployed in Afghanistan and have never been married. Getting closer to retirement, I realize I lack one of the things I wanted in life the most: family. My time with the military hasn't helped. Sure, I've dated, but after seeing my friends get divorced time and time again I never went that far.
