I have recently met a new guy. We seem to have some common interests and there is a definite physical attraction between us. He is keen to explore the possibility of us ‘cementing’ (his phrase) our friendship into a ‘concrete relationship’ (his terminology again). But I am wary. Twelve months ago, a five year relationship […]
I don’t know what the hell is going on in my relationship – we used to have the hottest sex in town. Now, I don’t know – she just doesn’t seem interested in ‘making love’ anymore. We’ve been together for about five years and I thought, when we first moved together, that she was the […]
Whenever I am asked by friends or colleagues how my relationship is going, I usually reply “Fine … It’s good!” And, in a lot of ways, I suppose it is good, that is, except for one annoying bit: things go a bit awry when my partner has difficulty in telling me what is troubling him. […]
I am in the second year of my first live-in relationship. It took me a while to commit and agree to live with my partner. I was hesitant to take this step because of previous relationships that caused me stress and, at times, anger and then grief. I do love my partner and I do […]
My partner and I attended a party a few weeks ago in which friends of ours celebrated their 15th Anniversary. My partner and I have been together for nearly 10 years. Whilst it was a great night – lots of singing, eatin’ and drinkin’ – I was conscious of a vague sense of confusion. The […]
My partner and I have been together for 10 years. Just recently, we suffered a set back and my partner said he was ready to leave! His reasons are really confusing and now he wants us to go into couples counselling to see if there is a way we can mend our relationship. I am […]
“I am having a great deal of difficulty in coming to an agreement with my new partner about finances. In my previous relationship, this was not an issue. We pooled our finances and then it was my job to pay the bills and do the budgeting. It worked well; that’s what I was used to […]
I am very happy with my partner – we have been together for about twelve years and, most of the time, we get along well and manage to live fairly uncomplicated lives. We have lots of friends and common interests. In most aspects of our relationship, I am content. However, in one aspect I am […]
My partner and I have been together for just over two years. For the first twelve months, life was bliss!! I thought I was in heaven – we were so much in love and I believed I had found the right person. But things seem to have changed: she does not seem to like anything […]
Like so many others, I am confused. I believe my partner does love me and we have a lot in common: share the same love of music, movies, food, drinks, and friends, whatever. Everything, it seems, instead of sex. On this level, we just don’t seem to be on the same plane. I’ve tried everything […]
