If you're in a serious relationship that you don't want to lose, but your partner lies, how do you deal with it? Ending the relationship seems to be the only answer, but I don't want to do that. Talking has done no good. She knows that what she does is going to get me angry, but she does it...

Are you picky in choosing dates, mates and friends? I've always thought of myself as being very selective in these areas, especially when choosing dates and mates. I've always had good looking women, and I've shunned many potential mates on looks alone. I've also dumped many because of rudeness...

I'm an expressive person. Always have been. Some people aren't. I was wondering how others here fit in. Do you have a need or desire to express your thoughts and feelings or do you keep them to yourself? We're all expressing ourselves here at the forum, so I'm asking in general terms, in your...

...this was advice given to me by a good friend when I was in a bad place, a few weeks ago. It helped me enormously, and I thought I'd share it here. It's so simple, direct and obvious, but I needed to hear it from someone. I'll never forget those words.

Simple question about a complex subject. If you're in an exclusive relationship and your partner cheated, would that be a deal breaker? Myself, in a word, no. As I said, it's a complex subject, and we can delve into the different possibilities if you like, but for me, a one-time cheat would...

I'm just wondering what are everyone's opinions about guys who fit the player mold. Okay, I'm 53, and being an old fart probably affects how I view the tactics of younger men. Not that we older guys can't be players, but the moves have certainly changed over the years. At least, as far as I can...

I'm new, and I'm off to work right now, but I want to thank the universe for this forum. I haven't been able to cry for quite some time, and in the short hour I've been reading and posting, the pain has been coming to the surface. Thank you all so much. Tom

I've recently gone through a period of low self-esteem. Certain people - who are actually nobody to me - have seen me as stupid, naive, empty-headed, etc. These opinions took hold of my psyche, and it's my belief that I began acting in the manner I was seen by these people. Everyone I met seemed...

Simple question, that can be viewed from two sides. When someone helps me, my instinct is to reciprocate. Sadly, when I help others, too many of them take advantage of my generosity. Surely, I'm helping the wrong people, but I'm having difficulty finding like-minded people around me. Tom

Hi, everyone. My name is Tom. I'm 53 years old, and I live in the Reno, NV area. I was raised in Chicago and have lived in Nevada since 1978; hence, my user name Chi(cago)Cowboy(NV is cowboy country). I have tons to tell, but I'll give the Readers' Digest version here. I was used and abused in a...
