I have been in a relationship with a man for the last 11 months everything has been real good and I mean real good. All of a sudden he tells me that we need to slow things down and not see each other as much.
My family and his spent the holidays and birthdays together. I think that he is scared of the closeness that we have now. He says that we need to be just friends. I don't know if I can just be friends with him because I'm in love with him and want to be with him as a couple not as his...

My girlfriend and I have been dating for three weeks now. We care for each other and are affectionate, but there is no passion . . . which is very strange since most of my relationships are very steamy (and short).
One reason I can suggest is that I really cannot have sex with a condom; the latex coating dulls my sensation to the extent that no matter what kind of condom or lubricant I apply, I just do not respond well in intercourse . . . I stay somewhat erect, but have very little...

Hey Dr. Love. I have been in a wonderful relationship for about 2 months with a young lady that I find attractive, smart, and funny--all the qualities a man could want. We have done everything a male and female could do with the exception of. . . penis to vagina sex.
The problem is everytime my we start to begin the process, I lose my erection. I really like this girl, I'm tempted to say that I love her, but I know that she is just as frustrated as I am about my lack of an erection when it is...

I am 53 and divorced. I met the most gorgeous man 22 months ago and we had a wonderful time. He is everything I have always wanted: witty, erudite, intelligent, charming, good company and we had a great deal in common. He has 2 young daughters and wanted to keep them out of things, which I understood, I would have done the same had mine been younger. He became my best friend and confidant.
2months ago he emailed me whilst away with his children and said he thought...

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...

Dr. Love. Here's my story.
Me and my ex of 3 and a half years broke up back in December out of stupidity, ego (on both parts). At first, she begged me back but I was too consumed with anger to accept her. And within weeks I fell into a rebound relationship which lasted for a couple of weeks. Well I did sleep with my rebound and foolishly admitted that to my love (cause I thought honestyMany people believe that "honesty is the best policy" in intimate relationships. Nothing could be further...

I have a long and complex situation. I was in a 2 year relationship with a man who I am still in love with but am so unsure of what to do. Our relationship was amazing at times and rocky at other times. Let me tell you a little about his past, maybe this will help to paint a better picture because I have a feeling the way our relationship was and how it ended has a lot to do with his upbringing.
He was told that his birth mom abandoned him, and he lived with his alcoholic father...

Dear Dr. Love,
A few years ago I met a guy and we made friends. We were friends for about 2 months and then I moved away. I knew he liked me then, but I didn't return his affections. About 3 months ago he contacted me again, and we've had lots of contact since. We've been talking on the phone, for hours, and it's been really nice. But now I'm afraid. I don't really let people in that easily, and I haven't told him that I see a psychiatrist or that I...
