Fat Lesbian

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

Dear Del,

I am a lesbian and have been with my girlfriend for about 9 months. She is my first girlfriend and the first girl I have ever been in love with. She moved in with me after we had been together only a few weeks because she was in a bad living situation and I felt I needed to save her. Our main problem is that I am not really attracted to her sexually because she is pretty overweight. Does this mean I’m shallow? I love her, and if we broke up she would have no where to go, and I’m afraid she might hurt herself. I really don’t want to be alone again either. Is there some way for me to fix this? What should I do?

Dear Tara,

No, you are not shallow - even if you love her, being fat is not attractive; therefore it is normal not to want to make love to someone who doesn’t look good.  Honesty is always the best policy so tell her you love her and want her to stay but tell her (tactfully) that you are not attracted to her sexually because of her weight.  Yes, it will hurt her but if she has any intelligence at all, she will understand.  If she doesn’t then you have a further problem but I would not stay with someone who doesn’t understand.  Your alternative is to stay and make love even tho you don’t want to and that will eventually cause you to resent her.  You guys need to talk!

Sincerely,

Del

I Love Her But

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

Dear Del,

I LOVE my fiance, but we’re lacking in the bedroom area because i’m attracted to every other women out there, but love her to death and she is attractive too. Is it because i’m used to her or is there a way to fix this? How do I get the lust and attraction back?

Dear Mike,

You don’t say how old you are but it sounds like your fairly young.  If you have been going with your fiance for a long while, it is natural for the lust and attraction to lessen,  unless you do things to keep it exciting such as different positions, different places to make love, fantasy parts to play, etc.  You can also teach her things that would turn you on more.  Being attracted to every other woman out there makes me think you are not only young but maybe immature and  overly sexual or maybe you haven’t sowed enough wild oats to settle down at this time.  Maybe you need to experience more women before you tie the knot.  Let me now what happens and if my advice helped.

Sincerely,

Del

Husband Back & Forth

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

Dear Del,

my husband keeps leaving and coming back.i take him back every time. i feel like a doormat. how can i fight this and be strong?

Dear Rosalyn,

You ARE a doormat if you keep on taking him back!  It’s hard to tell you how to have courage and fight this and be strong.  Strength comes from within and from having had a good background where your self-esteem comes from.  I would venture to say you did not have that and only a person with low or no self esteem would stay with a man like that.  If you can afford it, get some therapy to help you understand why you keep taking him back.  You may feel that you don’t deserve better, but you do!  The first thing to do is to tell him that if he leaves again you won’t be there to take him back.  Good Luck and let me know what happens. 

Sincerely,

Del

Living with Mother

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

Dear Del,

I met a guy over a month ago, we are far way from eachother, he doesn’t rive, lives at home and works three jobs…we text and talk almost everyday but sometimes he just stops answering me or talking, claiming hes been busy or tired or even with family..or work. How do I know for sure if he is really interested in me? H ehas said we can move slow and work things out but this is confusing….?????

Dear Valerie,

If he’s really interested he wouldn’t stop answering you or be too busy or tired.  Forget him, he’s a loser, living with mother and working 3 jobs and living far away makes this one a go nowhere situation.

Sincerely,

Del

Don’t Want the Same Things

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

Dear Del,

I not happy with the level of kink in my marriage and I have opted to go outside for a change. BEFORE you give advice that encompasses how awful I am to have an affair, my hubby and I have been through countless counseling and he himself has said if I want something he can’t off I should find a playmate as long as I don’t put it in his face!
So here IS my dilemma, I have been seeing this one guy exclusively for 7 years who really is a perfect match as a lover in many ways, but is sadly only perfect in other ways in discussion only. His lack of availability appears to be a true indifference to finding playtime, that factor has ended this affair several times (and yes I did go elsewhere when it ended) with promises from him that he realized he was not being committed and that things would change, but they never really did change for any more than a month or so at the very best. Even with my ENDLESS pleas for more time and to partake in activities that are a big turn on for me, nothing changed. From day one I told him I love and get totally turned on by PDA (public displays of Affection) and I have given him countless dates to join me in that activity, to date after 7 years it happened only once.
About a month ago while sitting alone AGAIN in an empty hotel room (I travel a lot and to date I have invited him to come to my hotel….hummm dunno maybe 40-50 times, he has joined me twice) and to be honest I got REALLY pissed off that I was being exclusive to a guy that did not seem to give a shit about finding time to entertain the entire purpose of having an affair, to have sex and to explore my freaking kinks!!! So I called in an old playmate for the evening who of course jumped all over that chance. I am a very honest women and so after seeing the old lover I did told the lover I had been with someone else. Yeah of course he got pissed off but he demanded from day one that with NO PENALTY I should always tell him of my actions whether he would like it or not. NO PENALTY MY ASS, he declared that we are done. Not only are we done, he takes any and every chance to tell me that I was not committed to the relationship and it’s exclusivity and my actions ended it all. I was freaking exclusive this entire time and that did JACK shit to change the outcome of him being available for PDA. He tells me “if you took the time to get to know me” oh my god I want to shoot myself, how much more time does he want!!! He is not my husband he is “supposed” to my lover and my escape!!
Was I nuts for even sticking it out this long? We became friends in a way and I hate to give that part up but come on now!!! In his defense he says he understand why I did what I did in one breath but then turns right back around to tell me I have no impulse control or commitment and that I RUINED everything by MY impatience!!!

Lemme hear it!!

Dear Lola,

First of all, I don’t appreciate your vulgar language.  Having said that, it seems to me that you don’t want the same things and instead of struggling with him to do what you want, you should do what he wants and see if that improves things.  If he says that you don’t want to take the time to know him, he may feel that you only want sex from him.   I think you and he are too different to have a successful relationship.

Sincerely,

Del

Can’t Open Up

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

Dear Del,

How can i open up to my signifigant other more freely? I generally keep things inside. How do i open up and express what i’m feeling and thinking?

Dear David,

It’s not easy for anyone who usually keeps things inside to open up but you can if you really make a strong effort to do so but you have to be secure in the other person’s feelings for you before you do it.  Most women welcome their man to express his feelings and a lot of relationships fail because men do not do so.  I think that a lot of men don’t do so because they fear rejection but I say be brave because people who risk nothing usually get nothing.  Good Luck and let me know if my advice helps.

Sincerely,

Del

Don’t Swing if you can’t Handle it!

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

Dear Del,

Me and my boyfriend have been together almost 13 yrs. About 2 months ago we discussed having a threesome. Well it happened with my best friend. It was basically like we put a show on for him and he was totally fine with it. But after it was all said and done he now has this big problem with it and constantly picks fights with me saying i cheated on him. But my arguement is no i didnt because we talked about and he ok’d it. So now he is just so insecure well always has been and he totally stalks every move i make. I feel like hes my boss not my man. He wont allow me to go hangout with my friend, because he said we dont need to be alone and he doesnt know what im doing. And if i do go i cant have fun because he is constantly calling me and wanting to hold me on the phone just to be an asshole. I really do love him but i dont know how much more i can take. He doesnt let anything go and i feel he doesnt allow me to be me. What can i do to assure him im not leaving him and get him off my back and to respect me as a person, because he doesnt. Please help i dont know what to do.What is ur advise?

Dear Jenn,

It always amazes me that people love and stay with people who are immature, jealous and just plain assholes. 
But having said that, my advice to you is to tell him how you feel and if he doesn’t get off your back and start behaving like a grown up, the relationship will be over.  He’s the one that wanted it but he couldn’t handle it.  Like the saying goes, “be careful what you wish for because you may get it”!  He is definitely very insecure and especially because who he is jealous of is another woman!  Let know what happens.  I care.

Dating Sites

Saturday, December 12th, 2009

Dear Del,

Recently my girlfriend broke up with me after a year relationship. The relationship seem to be going great with a break up about a month ago. I was very hurt with this and decide to join online dating site that we both before because I was hurt. After a week of being broken up we got back together but I decide to stay on the dating site but didn’t date or talk to anyone except by email and that was to inform them I was dating someone and wanted to see where it went. I’m totally in love with her. But now she will not talk to me answer the phone, text , or talk in person. We had talk about getting married and spend the rest of our lifes together. Just 3 weeks ago she said we were perfect together. I don’t understand what to do and don’t want to let her go. What should I do?

Dear Matthew,

You don’t say why she won’t talk with you but I’ll assume she found out you were still on the dating site.  Just tell her how you feel and you only went back on the site because she broke up with you, and a person has the right to try and find someone else if he gets dumped.  She sounds unreasonable.

Sincerely,

Del

Lovers or Friends?

Saturday, December 12th, 2009

Dear Del,

I moved to a new city a few months ago and I knew absolutely no one. I became friends with my companies secretary quickly because in my career field people our age are uncommon. We have been growing pals over the last few months with nothing physical between us up until this past weekend. We went out as has been our ritual but ended up sleeping together while both of us were pretty drunk. Things just haven’t been the same or they don’t seem to be. Maybe it’s just me I don’t know. I would much rather have a good friend than a booty call. Any advice?

Dear Pat,

I can’t tell by your name wether you are male or female but I’ll assume your male since you said “secretary” and that is usually but not always female.  In any event, whether gay or straight, you need to talk about what happened and decide if you want to continue to be intimate or just be friends.  You must talk, as you are working together and you want to be comfortable with each other in the workplace.

Sincerely,

Del

Backhair Removal Specialist??

Saturday, December 12th, 2009

Dear Del,

I need to find out if I am overreacting. My boyfriend of 10 yrs, (we have lived together for about 9, not worried about marriage) has a woman friend at work that I think has crossed the line as far as becoming too involved in each other’s personal life, he is the vp of company she is receptionist, she 31 he 49, they seem to talk about things that to me don’t seem appropriate for office friendship (he says are you telling me I can’t have female friends, so this makes me think I’m the one with the problem)like, how his pants fit his butt, what type of clothes and shoes he should be wearing, then the other day in his brief case I found a piece of paper done on a computer, saying “you have completed the backhair removal course” something to that effect, it had his name and she signed as “instructor”. I think these things are more than friendship and I need your advice as to whether you agree and if so, how can I make him understand this and how it is hurting me, we talked and I cried about this for hours the other day, but nothing was accomplished. Please help!

Dear Vicki,

I agree with you that it looks like more than friendship is going on here but maybe it’s just a flirtation.  Men cannot be stopped from straying, especially after 10 years.  Maybe the note in his briefcase was from a backhair removal instructor and maybe it wasn’t.  If he still loves you and you can talk with him you should ask him if he is going to a backhair removal place.  Also you should tell him that you don’t think it is appropriate for his “friend” in the office to speak to him so personally.  I wonder why he even tells you the things she says.  The only way to resolve this is to have a very frank talk with him, even tho you may not like what you hear and if he doesn’t change to your likeing you have two options:  leave or stay.  Good Luck.

Sincerely,

Del
