Dear Dr Love
I am 50 yr old female dating a 53 yr old man for a little over a year. He was married for over 25 years and he and his wife divorced (he did not want the divorce). by his account, toward the end the relationship was volitale (he doesn't speak much about it-- but mostly blames himself) Anyhow, he's been divorced for approx. 6 yrs. He's dated several women and had at least one serious girlfriend in that time. He's a good man and does a lot to help me (pays for things, projects around my house, etc..) Generally, we get along very...

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...

Dear Dr. Love,
It's been over half a year and I still can't get over my ex girlfriend. I've done everything every site has told me to do to get over her, yet I still find it impossible. I've broken off all communication with her, thrown away anything and everything that reminds me of her, told myself I don't need her, and everything else the internet has instructed me to do. I can't get over her still.
Since it's literally impossible to get over her, I wonder at times: Is it fate? Is she my true love? At other times I wonder: Is it because I'm worried?...

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...

I am a 20 year old man dating a 20 year old woman. I know that I am in love with her. We have been together now for 6 months and were best friends for a full year leading up to this. Back in high school, we both had longterm (2 year+) relationships. However, mine never became sexual. I realized that I did not love my ex-girlfriend and that I couldn't therefore waste my virginity on her. My girlfriend lost hers when she was 15, only 3 months into that 2 and a half year relationship. She and I have sex and it feels special and it feels right to me. But then I feel insecure and I start...

Hi doc,
I am a 30 year old male who is very attracted to a 29 year old female. I have been chasing her for about 4 months now and she's responded but just not the way that I want her to. What I mean is we've had sex many times, she's takes me around her entire family and children(4 kids) and she will openly hold my hand and kiss me in public so I don't think that she is ashamed of me. At the same time, she won't commit to me. She tells me that right now she is in a "hate all men mode" because she has been in a lot of bad relationships over the years, but she...

Hi! My boyfriend broke up with me. He said he was still in love with the last person he was with before me. He was in prison for 2 years and she is still in prison. He has only been out for 6 months and we were together for 4 months. He started playing world of warcraft (online computer game) and slowly I was seeing him less and less and then he told me he was still in love with her. Do you think it's the game or he is really still in love with her? We had a good relationship. I am so confused and never expected him to still be in love with her.
