Q: I have been dating a man for roughly 11/2 years. A few months ago I told him I loved him. He said it too, but only in response to me having said it. I noticed that that was the only time he would say it, so I stopped saying it with the hope that he would notice and eventually ask why. He never…
Q: I recently discovered that my husband is on several online dating sites. When I confronted him, he said he was sorry and claimed he wasn't necessarily trying to "hook up" with anyone. But his profiles on the sites state that he was trying to connect with people for those reasons. I have not…
Q: I am 58 and have a deep connection with a man I've known for about a year. We get along fabulously and I believe most women would think he is a great catch; I definitely do.

Q: Why is it that when a couple is trying to communicate, the conversation can get lost when one spouse gets upset before the problem is resolved? The conversation then becomes about arguing and isn't productive. How does one fix this?
Q: Dating older men can be disillusioning. Why are men on singles websites are disingenuous? The ones I've met seem to be so needy: They talk about past, failed relationships; some talk about weekend plans like playing golf (both days); some I've learned later are still married; and don't forget…
Q: Is it normal for your husband to want a threesome with another woman? We've been married for three years and everything has been great. Should I be worried? Is this normal and a good thing or is he getting bored with me? He says it won't get him turned on unless I was involved. Can anything good…
Q: What should I do when my husband looks and stares at other women? Should I leave him, confront him or just not say anything? It makes me angry and uncomfortable, not to mention makes me feel like I'm not what he wants anymore. What do I do? - TR
