Sociopath
Nov 11, 2011
Cheating
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...

Guy Who's Loved a Married Man from Afar for Years
Nov 11, 2011
Cheating
Dear Dr. Love, I’m a 47 year old gay man (still in the closet). I work with a 50 year old married man who I think is into me, but doesn’t know how to express himself. We’ve been working together for almost 8 years in a small warehouse environment. Over the years we have become quite close. He has confided in me about his finances sometimes and we go out to lunch often. We always have a few beers and I get the feeling he wants to know if I’m into him. Its very akward as I have a hard time expressing myself as well unless I’m tanked. I’ve stayed at his house...

Is He Going to One Day Be Everything I Need?
May 24, 2011
Cheating
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 and stepmother until his father passed away when he was 10 years old. Then he moved to live with his...

Seeking Greener Pastures
May 4, 2011
Cheating
Imagine a couple in a long term, committed relationship. Imagine one of the parties subscribes to a singles dating site - no public profile is involved, he or she, just  likes to look at what's out there. The 'looker' argues it is just amusement. The other party says it is disrespectful and suggestive that perhaps the 'looker' is seeking greener pastures. What would your advice be?

What Should I Do?

Cheating
My girlfriend has been talking to this guy a lot more than she talks to me and they talk about sexual things all the the time like giving blow jobs and etc. I found out about this and asked her to stop talking to him because I didn't like it and she said it was no problem but now things have gotten worse. I tried to give her time to stop but it's been 2 months and it doesn't look like there is going to be any change. He has told her numerous times that he likes her and she should break up with me for him he even gives her pet names and whenever I want to talk about it she doesn...

Oct 28, 2010
Cheating
I've been involved with my boyfriend for almost 6 years. In the beginning he was very persistent on having me in his life. After I gave in and we started dating I found out that he was a relationship with someone else at the same time, but he denied it. Since then I have lost all my trustMutual trust is a shared belief that you can depend on each other to achieve a common purpose. More comprehensively trust defined as "the willingness of a party (trustor) to be vulnerable to the...(Click for full definition.) in him and I found out that he was also seeing another person but he...

He Says the Relationship Has Become Complacent
Aug 17, 2010
Cheating
I have been in a long-term committed relationship for 8 years. Since I was 15 and he 16. Needless to say neither of us had any meaningful past experience, and we’ve never been apart. We had lived together full time for 4 years when we decided it would be best for him to move across the country, to be with his friends and find work, as he was unemployed here. Everything was running smoothly, I went and saw him for 3 weeks at Christmas. He came home for 4 months (Feb-May) while he was laid off, and has now only been gone for just over two months. The only difference between this...
