Boyfriend wants his girlfriend to quit wearing makeup

I hate that my girlfriend wears makeup. She is such a beautiful woman already, and kind and smart and everything else. We've been together for two years and I love her more than anything, but the makeup bugs me. I tell her she's beautiful already and doesn't need it, but she wears it anyway.

In-laws show up at front door; intimacy goes out the back

I have a great relationship with my wife, who is one of the most loving people I know. She's very affectionate -- at home and in public -- until her parents come to town.

Recovering alcoholic has problem meeting Mr. Right

I am 35 years old, female, and a recovering alcoholic. I'm telling you that up front because I don't need you to refer me to Alcoholics Anonymous. Don't get me wrong.

Woman has second thoughts about leaving her boyfriend

A couple months ago, I broke up with my boyfriend of five years. It was really difficult. We lived together, we had two cats together, and everyone pretty much assumed we'd get married.

Upscale woman worries about dating her handyman

I have a situation that makes me sound like a shallow person. I realize you will probably tell me I am being shallow and to get over it, but I don't know, I guess I'm hoping you can offer some other insight too.

Get some proof before flinging your accusations

My sister and I have shared an apartment since she got out of high school four years ago (she is a year younger than me). That works out fine, and we get along pretty good most of the time. But I'm a flight attendant and I am out of town overnight several times every month. And when I am gone, I have a feeling something is going on with her and my boyfriend.
