Ask Ellie

Woman should move on from ex-boyfriendSubscriber

Q: I had a child, now 16, with my high-school boyfriend. We ended things badly; he'd been seeing someone else. He has two children with another woman. They split, and we renewed a "relationship." I started to fall for him again just when he discovered he enjoyed his freedom.

Counselling needed for wife's sex aversionSubscriber

Q: My wife isn't very interested in sex, so I turned to man-to-man sex - no hassle, no commitment, no fear of any more "mistake pregnancies." My friend has the same situation, except that an extra-marital relationship with another woman caused an unwanted pregnancy with her.

Romance possible without sexSubscriber

Q: I'm a male university student in my final year. I'm social, active in sports, and reasonably fit. I don't have trouble meeting girls, but every relationship I've had since high school has ended over my refusal to have sex before marriage.

Subscriber

Q: We've just arrived from our one-week vacation with my best friend and Ms. X. We'd originally planned just two of us going (a guys' thing), but last minute he talked me into adding his ex-girlfriend. The reasoning was, she'd act as our "wing-man" (wing-woman) and help us meet and be more approachable with females.

Snoop or confront? Couples face relationship dilemmasSubscriber

Q: If I don't snoop or confront my wife about her out-of-town "work" trips (she already had one office affair), then I'm forced to hire a detective agency to see if she's with someone, sharing a room, etc.

Dying mom's behaviour hurtfulSubscriber

Q: My mother's been diagnosed with terminal cancer. My father's taken time off work to care for her. My siblings and I make trips to our hometown every month, staying three to four days. My mother has always been prone to frequent mood swings.

Subscriber

Q: I recently met a man whom I thought was single. I never asked, I just assumed. We'd been getting along great, when my friend visited his Facebook page and told me she saw he was in a complicated relationship with another woman. I thought he'd just not changed his status.
