I hope and pray that my testimony will be put into consideration and get the opportunity to be answered. Coz right now I've lost the lamps of my   judgement! I've had a boyfriend who's 1 year older than me....its been a distance relationship of which somehow I've managed to survive for like two   years, I dealt with a guy that would seem and admit to love you but hardly show it. He could hardly txt me or call me claiming to be busy and naturally   hard on communication, We agreed not to have sex till marriage but unfortunately I found condoms on...

i have been with him for 7 months. i'm 19 and he's 23. the relationship has been beyond perfect. however, i have the type of personality where if little things bother me, i hold them in and one day i do something drastic like cutting a person out of my life. my boyfriend wouldn't really make me a priority the past month or two but it wouldn't be bad, it was just little things but i was always afraid to bring it up because i didn't want to ruin the amazing times that we were having. so i let it slide and one day i woke up with complete emotional detachment towards him....

Hi Dr. Love! Thank you for providing this service.  They say fortune favors the brave, but sometimes even the strong need a lifting hand to get back in the saddle again.... I'm a 42-year-old female.  I've been in a relationship with a younger man, 13 years younger.  I never dated younger men and broke this rule because he was so mature and very different from any man I've ever met.  Our relationship has been perfect.  We have had open communication, honesty, love, fun, friendship... everything you would want in a relationship.  When we first got...

Dear Dr. Jamie, Thank you for providing this interface. I have been seeing a person for seven years and we were to get married in a few months. To my shock my fiance confessed to an affair with a grossly inappropriate person, his boss older by 27 years. He feels very guilty for having betrayed me and for having spoiled the boss' reputation. My fiance has been through a very difficult childhood having lost his father at a young age to drinking. His family provided him with very little love and care. When we met each other, there was a lot of happiness but slowly we started having...

I am 53 and have been with a man 23 years. We are both health care professionals. We have 3 young children. He is a very charming prominent doctor and he has, to say the least...been living a double life. I realize he is a sociopath and I was wondering if you have ever had success with people like him and what does it take. Do they ever see themselves as having this problem? I think he has been like this since late childhood. Is therapy long term for these people? Did you ever see them get better? He is 66 now and while we were on the family vacation he married a "childhood sweetheart" now...

Me and my ex boyfriend were together for a very happy 3 and a half years, a couple of months ago he said he wanted to end it as he didn't know who he was a person anymore, he did not know if we could live or function without eachother. We are both 24 years old, I was and still am heart broken however a couple of weeks after he broke it off he invited me over to watch a film and spend time together and said he realised how much I meant to him and maybe we should 'see' eachother so there is less pressure on him. (this means we go on dates together and hang out at his house or mine...

I have been with my boyfriend for almost 5 years. We live together have two kids and one on the way but over the months it has felt like something has changed when we have sex there is no Passion at ALL.

I loved this woman since the first time I saw her there's a spark in our eyes. I can't describe the feeling the intensity, it feels like it sends me to clouds. I want to be with her to talk to her and I think about her most of the time. She's the most beautiful girl for me. She is sweet smart and nice, and I know she loves me too. It's painted on her face. We've loved each other for many months. I don't have feelings of lust for her but I feel happy when I see her. I just cant stop myself from showing my true feelings, it's inevitable.  The problem is I do...
