When childhood invades adulthood
When does chidhood stop negatively affecting adulthood? I am late 20's, beautiful daughter, loving husband and a healthy career. Yet, I am as moody, irritable and impulsive as my mother!! I don't want these traits to destroy my daughter's childhood or adult life...or destroy my marriage. My husband and I talk about it often and I've seen a ...

Broken Relationship
I hope this is as a fair place as any to get some advice. I have been in an almost 6 year relationship with a woman I love. That relationship is clearly on the rocks and in danger of shattering. I never cheated on her, I was never emotionally or physically abusive, I wasn't an alcoholic or drug addict; I just didn't see that she was unhappy. I ...

Re: I don't think most women know what a BIG one is.
What this guy has probably (intentionally) omitted to say if his wife was complaining or enjoying his so-called big thing! Wasn't she making allusion to him taking her anus for her pussy? This explains why they didn’t say anything about children! LOL!!!

Danger to the non-discloser
Has the young woman who does not disclose her STD until after unprotected sex thought carefully about the danger to herself in not doing so? Most people will remain at least semi-rational in the face of such an enormous betrayal, but must is not all. I have heard of at least one case where a person who knowingly infected another with an ...

Need your advice: "Aryan" as a "compliment"
oookay, I'm not ready, for whatever reason, to write to an advice columnist about this, so I'm turning to you, smart and cynical Fraysters. Here's what happened. I got married a few weeks ago. In attendance were my Eastern European parents, visiting the US for the first time. My husband's best friend was there too with his German wife and ...

Forgiveness
While I think that the grandfather should have been prosecuted years ago for his crime(s), I also don't agree with Prudie's thinking on the forgiveness aspect. I don't believe that we should only forgive those who seek our forgiveness. As far as I'm concerned, it's healthy for a person to forgive those who harmed them, even if that person never ...

Keurig Coffee maker
I have a Keurig and there is a filter option for it. You can fill the single serve filter with your own coffee and recycle the grounds if so moved. No plastic cup waste necessary.

Thank you rules
The coworker might simply believe she's already thanked everyone - from Emily Post: ''Who needs a note? All gifts should be acknowledged with a note, unless the goodies were opened in front of the giver—then you have the chance to thank them in person.'' If she thanked everyone in person, she probably thinks she's ...

Engaged couples: The world's most selfish people
I am giving ''LEFT OUT IN THE COLD'' advice on the present for her wonderful pal. Send them the boarding pass and reciept for the flight you booked to join the selfish jerks on their ''special'' day with a note to the groom to not come calling when they get a divorce and he needs friends. But also call the airline and explain the situation. ...

Re: South American ex and Mom of a meanie
kati:This is all nonsense! Yes, there are cultural norms, but there are individuals and each is unique. Not all men and women from South America and jealous freaks, on the contrary....I must be dreaming! No word borrowed from sharia; it seems that Osama3 took leave of Islam; this time, otherwise, s/he would simply have suggested putting on a ...
