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 have been with my boyfriend for a year now but he has become cold towards me since we had a break up about a month ago. Since then he does not want to kiss, touch, hug or make love to me. He says he needs time to get over what happened before. I also know he meets with his ex and that they meet every day while he makes excuses to meet with me. My family doesn't like him so he feels like he has no future with me but I don't see it that way. He says he wants we take things slow between us and we start all over  again like friends. But I can't handle that since I am so...

I have been through a very mentally and physically abusive relationship. He said he loved me, asked me to marry him and then he, sweet kind loving man, changed to Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hyde.  He was scary; he had such a bad temper and would have road rage every time we went somewhere in the car, get out and fight with people calling them all kinds of names.  I would leave his place, then feel bad and call him and he would never answer, so I went to his house he wouldn't answer the dog so I got on my hands and knees to talk to him through the doggie door as I was talking he called...

My fiance and I are having difficulty with communication.  I'll try and talk to him about something simple and he starts to yell to get his point across. He's Italian, and his family is very loud as well. I feel like he is this way because it's what he's grown up with and sees nothing wrong with it.  My family is the opposite. We sit down and talk about an issue to try to resolve it.  I'm very sensitive and will cry (mostly out of frustration) when he starts to raise his voice.  Once he's at that point, I can't calm him down and it seems like...

There are a lot of small questions within this larger question. I will begin with his trip. He went on a trip with some friends, and these guys were pressuring him to go to a strip club, get a special massage, whatever. He did not go however, but if he had that isn't the problem, those things are done often by many guys. There were also girls all around the hotel, apparently asking him to come "party" and he said no. The next day however, he said to me, "these girls are the hottest ever. I am really tempted. You are so lucky". Thing being, I am glad he didn...
