Is my Relationship Fixable or Have I Completely Ruined Everything?
Dec 15, 2011
Walking Away
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....

Sociopath
Nov 11, 2011
Walking Away
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...

Does She Really Like Me? Or is She Just Playing Me?
Sep 1, 2010

  Thank you for your time on reading this question :) Four months ago I met a girl and I got interested in her. That day, it seemed that I made a connection with this girl, my friend told me she was staring at me a lot. Next few weeks we texted, and I invited her to my school dance. She seemed really excited, the texting became more often, and she sounded like she was interested in me and going to the dance with me. The day of the dance was amazing, we talked, danced, laughed. We had a lot of fun and she told another friend of mine that she had a great time with me. Next few weeks...

Wanting a Heart to Heart
Oct 3, 2005
Walking Away
Hello Dr. , I did reconnect with my childhood sweetheart from over 25 years ago. We have gone on a few dates. I agree with your paradigm that we often tend to heal childhood wounds through present relationships. I am a textbook example. I am aware that I only desired a romantic relationship with this ex as one way to heal the broken ties with my now deceased father. The ex lives with a lady. He has expressed that he would like to have an 'affair' with me. Of course I declined. I will not be any man's woman on the side. Plus I try to respect other women's territory. I wanted to have a...

Friend or Girlfriend

Walking Away
Ok, I'm 16 and a guy. I'm in love with my best friend (she's a girl). I love her so much. I think about her everyday. We wanted to date a few years ago but she is best friends with my sister too. We didn't want to hurt my sis, so we never dated. A few years later, I'm still in love with her. I go to a small school, so there is no girl to 'get my mind off of her. ' I love her. She has talked to and dated a few other guys and I'm always jealous. I want to be friends but I don't know if I can. I love her but she just wants to be friends now. I don't know if I can just be friends...

She Likes Being Physically and Verbally Abused During Sex
Mar 7, 2005
Walking Away
I'm involved in a relationship where my partner is fond of being physically and verbally abused during sex. Recently, I've learned that she was sexually abused at a very young age. Is my desire to please her sexually and take part in her violent, abusive fantasies serving as an unhealthy degradation or an open channel for venting emotions?
