Your Questions About Relationship Troubles

Steven asks…

Is marriage the answer to Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson’s relationship troubles?

Yesterday, Lindsay Lohan Tweeted this comment to Samantha Ronson:

“BUT YOU DID perform to her..you JUST told me that your friends are worth more than i am 2 your family & that i’m gross*thx”

Do you think the solidarity of marriage is the answer to Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson’s relationship troubles?

Lukes Love Life answers:

Marriage isn’t some solution, it’s the joining of two people who love eachother. If you think that marriage fixes things then you’re wrong! And it looks like they’re going through a hard time right now so they should just sit down and talk anbout their issues.

Daniel asks…

What should I do about my friends relationship troubles?

Okay so my friend Tyler is going out with a girl named Shehan. All they really do is sit by each other at lunch though. They say their together but if you ask me they are just good friends. One day I confronted him about it and he threw an empty bottle at my head. I hrew a full one back :D and hit him square in the face. Should I tell them it needs to over or should I just tell people they are together?

Lukes Love Life answers:

You should butt out of your friend Tyler’s love life…and worry about your lack of one…

Michael asks…

Why would my wife tell her friends our relationship troubles but not me?

Is this not a sneaky way to try and ruin my reputation to her friends? How do i let her know that I am against this practice?

Lukes Love Life answers:

Tell her to please keep personal business in the family.

That is what we do.

Peace.

Ruth asks…

anyone know a whole lot about relationship troubles?

okay well i have a relationship problem, im aware of it and i need help trying to figure out what i can do to fix it. so the deal is i have no problem finding guys i like and getting to know them, and even having flings with them, but when it comes to commitment i freak out. i end up becoming official with them andd then break up with them a week later. i dont want to be this way but i dont know how to change. any advice?

Lukes Love Life answers:

Okay, first of all you’re gonna need the right guy to help you get over this. Once you find you really guy and you start getting scared about commitment, don’t get all official. Tell him how you’re feeling. Tell him you’re having trouble getting serious. Hopefully, he will understand and you guys can slow things down. Eventually you will be so comfortable with him that you won’t even notice that you two have gotten serious

Mandy asks…

Me and mario kart wii having relationship troubles again.?

Do you have to come in first place in the lightening cup to unlock a new cup?

Lukes Love Life answers:

1st in all the races combined, ie you could get a first in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd races and come 4th or 5th in the last race and still get top score and open the next cup.

Your Questions About Sexting Examples Photos

Ken asks…

Is this considered sexting?

so im confused about what “sexting” actually is.
is it sending revealing photos of yourself or someone else around?
or is it texting like…texting someone riskay and dirty words?
**could you please give me an example of something that would be considered sexting?

my guy friend and i were joking around and said some dirty stuff, and when i told my friend, she told me that it was sexting.

also, im a 14 year old girl. could i get in trouble for doing that…?
oh, i know, i would never actually send nasty pictures of myself. a guy asked me to one time, but let’s just say i haven’t talked to him since. haha

Lukes Love Life answers:

Sexting is words and pictures.
Speaking sexually to a person over text msg is sexting.
Sending revealing photos of yourself via your phone is also sexting.

The written word will only get you in trouble with your family and maybe your friends.
Pictures, at your age, will get you and him in trouble with the law.

Do NOT send anyone anything that you would not want being displayed on a billboard at a family reunion. Be safe. Be wise. Make good choices.

John asks…

Sexting help !! Speech!?

I have a speech on sexting due thrusday… i need a concluding sentance or anything else that people would like to put in or fix anything ugh im so stressed i need major help !!!!!!!!!!!

heres my speech so far:

How many of you know sent text messages today? How many of you, maybe not today, but send pictures when you text? Are you aware of the dangers that come with sending certain pictures? Well, there’s this new term called sexting. Sexting is the transmitting of nude or semi-nude photos via cell phone. Many teens are doing this because it’s the “in” thing to do. But what many teens don’t know is that sexting is illegal. If someone has received a nude or semi-nude photo from anyone, and gets caught with that photo on his/her phone the teen will get charged with the crime of child pornography and will have to register as a sex offender.

For example a girl named Brooke got kicked off her high school cheerleading team because people, including her principal and coach, saw her nude pictures. Also a couple of teen boys, Ben and John, almost had to register as sex offenders. Because they got caught with a picture of their classmate Claire exposing a breast. Sexting can lead to more then just legal dangers. According to people magazine, a teen girl Jessie hung herself last year because of her nude photos she sent to her boyfriend were being sent around to over 4 different schools. Because of her pictures other kids started taunting her and calling her a whore.

thats all i have and idk what else to do!!!! SOMEONE HELP PLEASE!

Lukes Love Life answers:

How many of you may have sent some text messages to-day? How many would also send a picture when you text? Are you aware of the danger that can exist when you send certain pictures? { Good point, you have grabbed my attention immediately.} Well, there is a new term coined which is known as “sexting.” Sexting indicates the transmission of nude and semi-nude photographs by cell phone. Many teenage people think that this is an ‘in thing’ to do. But they are unaware that this is an illegal activity!
If you receive a nude or even a semi nude photo of a young person and get caught with that picture on your cell phone then you can be charged with the crime of child pornography. And you will be registered as a sexual offender.

Brooke was on her school’s cheer leading team. But her nude photos on the cell system were seen by her teachers and headmaster. She was removed from the team.

Ben and John, two teenage boys, almost were registered as sexual offenders because their cell phones contained a photo of class mate Claire exposing a breast.

Sexting can lead to more than just legal problems. According to “People” magazine, Jessie, a teenage girl, actually hung herself because she found that nude photos of herself which she sent to her boyfriend were being circulated around four or more different schools. Because of this, she was taunted and called “Whore” by the school children in the know. She couldn’t hack it.

Now you need to finalise the statement. I would ask who were the killers in this instance. The children, the boyfriend. Never trust a boy because he only has the mental capacity of a child and girls, because they need to mature more rapidly than boys in order to cope with menstruation, should seek boyfriends a couple of years older than themselves until the boys become men and a levelling out occurs. Who are the real whores in this situation, anyway? The pimply little kids who get this on the phones and do not immediately delete it. The childish actions of the girls involved are not the whole issue. Prevention is better than a cure, always.

Teenagers run amok with uncontrollable sex fallacies. Do they deserve to be charged as sex offenders. The law says ‘Yes.” What do you think and are you involved with this smut yourselves?

Mark asks…

Why arrest teens for sexting? its not protecting anyone… opposite in fact?

http://www.netlingo.com/more/Girl_arrested.pdf

See link and look this up.

Why is america insane with regards teens, sex and dating…
take this example.

The whole point of anti child porn and so called Megans law was to protect teenagers from abuse.

So Im confused how is jailing 14 year old girls for sexting (ie sending boyfriends/girlfriends sexy or nude/underwear photos to a sex offenders Prison for 17 years (with rapists, child killers and pedophiles as cell mates imagine what they will do to here after lights out each night), making her sign the sex offenders register, taking away her youth, friends, wrecking any hope of future relationships, having her treated as a pedophile, stopping university destroying her life and having her raped probably nightly and battered probably 10s or 1000s of times

How is this protecting teenagers from abuse? by imprisoning them with abusers.

The boyfriend was not doing the abuse. She took the photos herself… consensually and posted them of herself so where was the victim?

Why not accept teens date and 14 year olds in all areas think they are more grown up then they are and push boundaries so this case only needing a parent with a bucket of ice water over her head telling her to calm it down till a little older and pointing out film stars like Vanessa Hudgens where a little older before doing this.

Ie learn to crawl before you walk, learn to walk before you run and wait till serious with Someone before exchanging pics making sure BOTH send pics to each other so if one publishes then the other can get own back.

Couples fancy each other, like looking and being looked at by partners… its nature and part of a relationship. Nothing wrong with that if anyone is pushing things to early parents should just get them to slow down till older.

So how can arresting teenagers for wanting their crush to like them and want to make out help anyone?
************************

Cookie you mis read the question

I was talking about people taking photos of THEMSELVES as part of flirting with someone they are in a couple with who they want to see their photos to make their partner happy and wanting to make out with them.

Hence saying their are no victims as if the recipient of said photo has sexual thoughts about the subject in the photo is just what the subject wants so the recipient wants to snuggle with them.

Ie end result is couple make out fall in love get happy. No abuse.

Just if young as said parents just need to have a word and tel them they are trying to hard for their age.
*********************************

CLEARLY PEOPLE ARE MISSING THE POINT.

FOR AN ACT TO BE A CRIME THEIR NEEDS TO BE A VICTIM.

DEFINITION OF A VICTIM IS SOMEONE HURT, ROBBED, BEATEN UP, ABUSED OR KILLED.

IE SOMETHING THEY DONT WANT HAPPENING TO THEM HAPPENS .

SO IN THAT SENSE WHERE IS THE CRIME?

WHO IS THE VICTIM?

THINK FORGET ABOUT LAWS AND JUST LOOK AT IT LOGICALLY.

NOBODY WAS HURT TILL THE POLICE ABUSED THE GIRL

THE ONLY PEOPLE ABUSING CHILDREN HERE ARE THE AUTHOURITIES AND POLICE.

THE GIRL AINT AND THE BOYFRIEND IS NOT.

aND THE ONLY ONES HAVING CHILDREN RAPED ARE THE JUDGE, POLICE, PRISION STAFF AND PROSECUTORS.

sO SURELY THAT SHOWS THAT ANYONE IN AUTHOURITY WANTS KIDS RAPED SO ALL THE POLICE SHOULD BE ARRESTED , THE JUDGE, PROSECTION LAWYER AND PRISON STAFF FOR CHILD ABUSE AND CHILD RAPE.

tHINK ABOUT IT
**********************

The Megans Law mum is on her side by the way saying her law was never meant to hurt teengers for dating activity. It was mean to PROTECT not ABUSE kids.

Why not accpet that child porn is when photos are taken against somones will for abusive purposes

and sexting is consentual done for lovey dovey kissy snuggly falling in love and having fun reasons

ergo good
erm juvenile jail IS FULL OF RAPISTS AND MURDERERS WHO ARE PSYCOPHATIC GANG MEMBERS AND THUGS,

JUST TEENAGE ONES.

So sending a nice girl there as she had a crush and wnted said object of her affection to think she was hot ans kissable would wreck her life by beating the niceness out of her so when she cme out her one sole purpose would be to reak bloody vengence upon all who hurt her.

As what would she have to loose? the evil authourities hurt her for being in love so she could burn their house down…

No prosectuting would be a bad idea it helps nobody.

In fact her class mates and friends should riot and storm the cop station to get her out.

Or catch and torture the peadophile cops, judge and prosecutors who like hurtig kids till shes let out
*** as for 14 year olds dating… why not?

Any I have come accross tha age dating are fine… as long as they realie they are young and beginners so should stick to begineer tuff… ie making out , 2nd base most

Get used to dealingwith that and handling the emotions etc to enable you to mature for a couple of years before getting to sex and sexting,.

Its not an issue for police more parents discussing why its beteer to to do too much too young.

Lukes Love Life answers:

It is kind of jacked up. I don’t know what the answer is but I do agree that they are way over reacting to the problem.

Chris asks…

Why do americans treat sexting between couples as child porn? When the Megans mum stated its wrong?

Why do americans treat sexting between couples as child porn? When the Megans (as in megans law) mum stated its wrong to abuse couples and thats doing the opposite of what the law was intended for.

http://www.netlingo.com/more/Girl_arrested.pdf

The whole point of anti child porn laws was to prevent young teengers and children being forced often violently into sexaul activity AGAINST THEIR WILL. ie rape

When teenagers send sexy photos of themselves to partners its no different to a love note as its CONSENTUAL and they actively WANT their love interest to see them in a sexaul sense to make them want to make out and kiss.

if the whole point ie the ‘spirit of the law’ as opposed to he ‘letter f the law’ was to prevent teengers and children getting abused, harmed, hurt, raped etc.

Then how is sticking a young teenage girl who never hurt anyone in a cage full of pedophiles, rapists and murderers (and yes even if juvenile jail the cell is still ull of rapists, peados, murderers and thugs (see movie Scum and inparticular the greenhouse rape scene)

Ie using a law meant to protect them from rape to have teengers raped.

Surely then the judges, police and prosecuting lawyers are peadophiles using laws meant to protect kids and teens rom rape to have them raped and battered and destroy their lives for fun?

Protecting anyone from abuse?

Where is the abuse? if a girl or guy wants their partner to check them out sexaully (and in most cases they wont be having sex stright away more making out) to kiss. be in love, feeling up.

And that makes them happy then why waste police or other grown ups time when they could be arrested real criminals.

for there to be a crime their needs to be a victim.

the law should be there to protect people from harm and abuse not abuse nice people.

And laws and rules are not simply rules and laws.

Take or example how it used to be legal to keep slaves, mixed race marriage was illegal, so was gay sex and how woemn were not allowed to vote and if you are heading the correct way up a one way road and a tsunamie is hedding down the opposote way do you
A) obey the law and drown or B) apply common sense and drive the other way ral fast.?
Why not be happy your kid has somone to snuggle up with and be lovey dovey with and if as teeangers do trying to hard and doing too much too young just get them to calm down a little
8 ball if you dont like my question then dont bother with them… leave everyone else to do what they want.

And these are legit questions and legit issues so why doint you go off and mind your own and let all else do their thing.

Why do you have a problem with these issues being discussed?
Actually Im an adult who has seen how hurt those without a boyfriend or girlfriend get and how they end up in councillng, depressed, suicidal etc and how happy those dating with a boy or girlfriend are and yes many break up others dont but gain something from it.

ie practice, confidence, social skills, reltionship and pulling skills,

And stds and pregancy only occur with not using condoms plus teengers are more likely just to make out as dont feel ready to go further.

As mentioned its only bad if forced
Im not an idiot.

Teenagers have been sexaully active since cavemen times thats why they have hormos, periods, erections etc.

The only protection they need is due to lack of experience, size and power.

Ie its like driving lessons. teenage reltionships and sexaul activiry is like driving in a car with dual controls. You ned to be on a real road in a real car to learn properly but with parents or instructors able to stop the car if you make a mistake.

And to scare any would be ashole boyfriend thinking of passing private photos around that he will be sorry for upsetting your daughter so he can also learn a lesson in not acting a jerk.

But the lovey dovey stuff is fine
Teenagers are not stupid or innocent they do know that they are doing to an extent.

So its not a case of they do nothing but do it with parents acting as a saftey net or a long leash…

Enough freedom to develop, have a life and experiment but whihc can be pulled in if they step out in the road. Plus many teens I have seen are more sensible then many adults

Lukes Love Life answers:

Because a picture of a naked child in a sexual manner IS child porn, which is VERY illegal.

PS: its obvious you are no older than 15. Every adult realizes that a child in a relationship doesnt usually last, and it normally will end in pregnancy or something even worse

Ruth asks…

Why do you get daft folk here who dont read posts properly then say what are you on about?

Why do you get daft folk here who dont read posts properly then say what are you on about?

Yes its a bit long but the lesson here is look at the detail and reasoning before responding so you get things right.

I’ve included an example but this applies to most as seeing this dumb behavour a lot.

Seen this a lot recently two posters Jessica and Pieces and Gerogie boy.

They skip read a post, pick out a few words then come out with the classic lines
‘Im not reading all that ‘
then
‘what are you on about’
or
‘I dont get why you think this way or you must be whatever perve, daft, rubbish etc’

More importantly smart folk dont ask dumb qustions like ‘I dont get it’, ‘what are you on about’ as its always clear by their answers THEY HAVE READ all the details, check the links Therefore know what the questioner is on about as it was listed say on

Paragraph 3 line 4

Or was explained far better in link 3 which may refer to court cases, news reports, documentry, statistics or other supporting evidence. If you have time to come here you have to to read to get all the facts and understanding to base thinking and responses on. You can spot these folk as other posters will understand and write proper responses even if they dont aggree they dont assume they now how a poster is thinking they read abd base their thinking on ALL thats said not little bits then go with some crowd thinking.

The brains are in the complex details and level of backing evidence, what makes somone right is the level of their research or links or evidence. not whats popular thinking. popular thinking leads to urban myths like you see tests and proven false on shows like MYTHBUSTERS.
Makes a lot more sense to read it all then make up assumptions in your head does it not.

Or pedantically try and make themselves look smart by pointing out typos and spelling errors thinking it makes them look smart probably as spelling was the only subject they passed.

When smart folk are not bothered about typos as its obvious what someone was saying and most likely bad typing as most have not done touch typing courses so look at the keyboard, not the screen so miss typos, or scan read and know what was being said so brain fills in the blanks whilst others who did not write the post spot them easier as will the poster later.

Ie worrying about the unimportant stuff instead of the message.

And what about those who base their thinking on rules/laws rules and laws are not simply there to be obeys, They need scrutiny to assertain wether fair or not, wheter rational or not or whether the original spirit was decent and needed and fair and wether it applies in all cases.

Rules are often wrong and were written to benfit a few people or written by nutter.

ie in the ten commandments it say you cant work on a sunday, remeber that one when your house is on fire or need urgent medical treatment.

or honour thy parents… JESSICA note that one it has no clause or kiddie abusing parents, junkies, drunks or thugs or plain stupid parents.

And how about sexaul laws?

it used to be illegal and considered perverted to be gay or have a mixed race relationhship.
but legal to keep slaves, shoot a welshman with a bow and arrow, islamic countries execute for making love outside an arranged marrige and jail you for kissing in public or even being alone in a room with a single memeber of the opposite sex. The taliban even flogged people for not having a long beard or flying a kite and playing chess and had the death penalty for a girl going to school or seeing a male doctor.

Clearly those who simply respect rules and laws are bonkers.

For example I have stated I think its actually totally wrong for anyone to be punished for sexting ie sending nude or sexy photos to boy or girl friends.

People mention they should be as it’s child porn. according to the rules. But how many look up and think harder then that to work out that these rules were meant for people who FORCE, COERCE PEOPLE AGAINST THEIR WILL. Or are delibertely manipulating others with MALICIOUS intent.

Note the capitialised words… IT shows the DEFFINITION of the situation of it ONLY being a crime where there was MALICIOUS, BULLYING, MEAN intent. as its supposed to PROECt FROM ABUSE.

In the case of your typical sexting which even Disney stars like Vanessa Hudgen do there was NO NO NO abusive, malicious intent so no crime and it should not matter if somone was over or younger then the age when the CONSENT is clearly there and the REASON was to say HI BOYFRIEND WHO I CARe aboUT AND FANCY ROTTON I LIKE YOU VERY MUCH AND COMFORTABLE YOU CHECKING ME OUT, I TRUST YOU AND WANT TO KISS AND SNUGGLE AND GET PASSIONATE WITH YOU, AND WANT YOU TO FEEL THE SAME ABOUT ME SO HERE IS A TREAT TO TURN YOU ON AND MAKE YOUWANT TO KISS AND CUDDLE AND LET YOU KNOW I LIKE YOU THINKING ABOUT ME THIS WAY.

In other words its sexting is romantic. So why is romance a crime? BULLYIN

Your Questions About Healthy Relationship With Food

Linda asks…

How can regain our natural reactions to hunger and satiation, and regain a healthy relationship with food?

Lukes Love Life answers:

Don’t eat when you’re distracted. Mindless munching while watching television or eating while you read a magazine/book will often cause you to overlook that you’ve had enough to eat. Eat thoughtfully, put your food/fork down between bites and listen to what your body is telling you. It may take some time, but you will start to eat differently.

Also, before you get something to eat, drink a glass of water. Oftentimes we’re really thirsty instead of hungry.

William asks…

How do you define a healthy food relationship, and how does one achieve this?

Whether someones problem is eating too little, or too much, what do you think the steps are for a healthy diet and lifestyle? Do you believe that most people have a healthy or unhealthy relationship with food? How do you cure emotional eating tendencies?

Sorry for the multiple questions, but I’m just curious. I’ve oscillated between eating way to little and lately eating way too much, probably emotional eating, and I’m striving for a healthy balance. I’m not overweight at all, but I don’t want to spiral into a problem where it is harder to be fixed. So, what are your tips for a healthy diet and lifestyle?

Lukes Love Life answers:

Your calorie deficit then calorie surplus is one of the best ways to lose body fat and gain muscle at the same time IF the 6 meals per day are from complex carbs and protein ( carbs in different amounts 2 days high then ,2 days low etc,just thought you would like to know…

Nancy asks…

How to have a healthy relationship with food and stop obsessing over my body?

I am just wondering if there is anyone who can help me with an issue I’ve had for about 2 years. Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I used to be overweight (about 150lbs as a 5th grader!) when I was 6-12 years old, then I lost quite a bit of weight as I grew older and became more active.I went to college maintaining a healthy weight (5’4” and 122 lbs). I never really worried or thought about my body/weight, but when I started college, I gained about 15 lbs and noticed my clothes were much tighter. I did not like this and started working out and lost the weight I’d gain plus a few more lbs. I really liked the way I was starting to look. By my third yr in college I began to start thinking more and more about my wt and how I looked. I seemed to be thinking about food all the time. Since then, it has just gotten worse! I think about food all of the time, but also starting obsessing over calories! I now really like the way I look (about 5’4” and 111 lbs) I look very fit, as I work out 5 times a week and wt lift about 3 times a week. But, I am so sick of constantly Worrying about my wt and how many calories I’ve eaten EVERY day. It is horrible and I feel like a prisoner. It is like I am obsessed with eating healthy for the last 2-2 1/2 years and hardly EVER let myself eat anything that isn’t good for me or is high in calories. I haven’t eaten fried food or things like real ice cream or pizza in years! The worst part of all of this is that it is affecting my husband and my relationship. He truly is the most wonderful man I could ever ask for! And, for some reason, I have now started trying to control what he eats! I get anxious and very upset if he eats things like pizza or chinese food! It is absolutely ridiculous, but I cannot stop it..It is horrible, b/c I love him so much and it is the only thing we ever fight about. And, he is so in shape, goes to the gym and is toned and muscular! He used to eat very unhealthy when we met, but has changed a lot (his cholesterol went from 260 to 170 since we have been together). He is a lot more healthy now, but now if he eats fried/fatty/high calorie foods, I can’t control myself and get really anxious and upset with him. I know this sounds ridiculous, but is there anything I can do? Any suggestions for me? I am so sick of being obsessed with food, my weight, what I eat, calories, etc! I wish I could just go eat a cheeseburger! but, I know I would be very anxious and upset with myself if I did something like that…It is so sad..I want to be able to enjoy food and not constantly worry about gaining fat and changing the way I look now. Does anyone know of any books I could read or someone I could talk to?

Lukes Love Life answers:

It sounds like you have an eating disorder. There is actually a specific kind of eating disorder that deals with obsessing over eating healthy foods.
I am part of a yahoo group that is a support group for people with all kinds of eating disorders. It is EatingDisordersAnonymousWomenTwelveSteps. No spaces in the name. The people here are very welcoming and very supporting. You don’t have to talk if you don’t want to. You can start talking as soon as you join if you want to though!
There is also a book that I read “Life Without ED” : By Jenni Schafer. It talks about her eating disorder and overcomming it. I really enjoyed reading this book and can deffinately say it helped me feel somewhat better.
I would also encourage you to talk to your doctor about this, but I have been in your position and know how hard it is to open up to people.

Maria asks…

For a healthy relationship with food, should I go by how hungry I feel or my supposed “daily caloric intake”?

I’m a 17 year old guy, 6’2″ and around 185, I’m trying to establish a healthy relationship with food, after nealry a year of battling bulimia.

Sometimes I get so hungry late at night, the amount I eat edges over the amount i’m “supposed” to eat in calories. What should I follow, medical advice or what my stomach tells me?
For example, today I ate around 3,000 calories in food, when medically I should only be consuming 2500.
I just wrapped up my summer and I have to say I didn’t do a lot of physical activity besides walking, I did a hell of a lot of walking (helps clear my head), around 10 hours a week, brisk paced.

Lukes Love Life answers:

You should never feel hungry, and calorie counting is useless as it has never been proven effective in nearly 50 years of research. Athletes in different sport activities can use between 2000 to 6000 calories a day.
Your weight in relation to your height is very normal so if you don’t pick up weight when snacking, don’t worry please.
The walking alone will give you more appetite, so again please don’t worry if you don’t pick up weight and if you do, either do more of the brisk, or even power walking. It does the same for me.
If you need more info or help, please feel free to contact me.

Laura asks…

I hate hate hate food. How do i build a healthy relationship with food?

I dont know what the medical term for it is but I HATE food. It sickens me. Its leads me so I have let it leave my life completely. I havent eaten in weeks and I know its really bad and I dont want to loose anymore weight than I already had to. I am scared I am killing myself. I’m not anorexic or dieting. I am not fasting because of religious reasons either… I just look at food and think its really evil because it makes so many people unhappy with their looks… and made me unhappy a while back. Now looking at it sickens me. are there any therapies that can help? how do i build a healthy relationship with food?
I havent eaten in 6 weeks. I lost 20 kg. I think its time to love food! but its not coming!!! I dont wanna loose all that weight!! its scary and ugly

Lukes Love Life answers:

Go to africa… Go starve with those Somalians for a few days

Fear.. Solves nothing…. If you dont eat… Your going to die.
Food is the only reason you have livedso long…. Youd better eat some up.

Your Questions About Relationship Topics

Laura asks…

Why do guys mind talking about “awkward” topics, eg. a past relationship that didn’t work?

I don’t know about you, but I think it feels less awkward when it’s all out in the open, and you can talk about it freely, because it’s in the PAST. It’s just more awkward when you purposely avoid the topic…
But of course if they don’t want to talk about it, I won’t make them (this coming from respect).
Personally, I think it’s a little immature and shows that you haven’t gotten over it yet…

Lukes Love Life answers:

Do you like talking about the grandparent that you loved a lot that passed away?
Do you like to talk about the horrible experience that you experienced when you went into the Iraq war and barely lived? You’ve been having nightmares about that and feeling you almost died like 800 times. You got over it.

Sometimes you say you are over something but don’t want to mention can mean two ways. You aren’t really over it or you are over it but its such a bad experience you rather not remember it. I generally do not want to talk about my first love because it ended up in such a bad way. There was so many problems and stuff I don’t really want to talk about it (like the whole thing). But if you ask me specific things regarding the past that is simple then I do not mind. I do not want to bring up the whole thing but small parts is fine.

But I do believe in this. If you don’t want to talk about something, say it out loud and proud. The current girlfriend should understand and accept it. If the girlfriend ask why then the guy should should provide a honest answer. Whether they aren’t over it or it was a painful memory or simply a touchy subject. A touchy subject means that its something the guy isn’t fully over with.

Mandy asks…

What relationship topics are you interested in hearing about?

I’m going to start writing a weekly colomn on relationships but I need some fuel!! I’m looking for suggestions concerning what you all – the viewers – would like to hear about? Any topic, little or big, would help me out at this point. The topics can be serious, funny, sad… you name it… topics can range from dating, marriage, love, betrayal, cheating, happy endings, being single, heartache, love at first sight… the list goes on… Please let me know what you’d like to read about and any questions you may have in the area of relationships. They might spark some intersting ideas as well! THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!

Lukes Love Life answers:

I think you already have your answer. All of those topics should be discussed and just rotate the individual topics every week or month. You would get a good following. You can call the column “relationship corner.”

William asks…

what are some topics to talk about on your 3month old relationship?

found the perfect woman… but at times i find myself not knowing what to talk about. need ideas for good conversation starters.

Lukes Love Life answers:

First of all, you’re putting entirely too much pressure on the situation. Believe me, I’ve been there. I’m one of those people who hates silences, even comfortable ones because I feel like I always need to be talking.

But I’ve learned that sometimes silence is just silence and it can be comfortable and okay. You don’t always have to be talking and once you realize that – conversation comes much easier.

Have you seen the episode of Friends where Ross is chatting with.. Someone, I can’t remember, but his inner monologue went something like this, “Say something. Say anything! C’mon, you’ve got to have something to talk about, say something. Say anything, anything would be better than this silence.” And then he opened his mouth and said something stupid.

I bet you’re one of those people. In the silences you’re thinking so hard on what to talk about that really you’re consumed with it. How in the world can you possibly come up with anything to talk about when you’re obsessing over the fact that you have nothing to say.

So just relax, hon. If she’s the perfect woman, then you may just have a life time with her so just take a breath and relax. Conversation will come when conversation will come.

Or you can talk to her about what happened in your day, or ask her what happened in hers then elaborate on it. Talk to her about things that happened in your childhood or things that happened in hers. Talk about your family or your friends or just any random thing that pops in your head.

The main thing is, the more pressure you put on yourself the harder it will be. So again, just relax. :)

Thomas asks…

What are your most difficult topics to talk about in a relationship?

I’ve heard that
1.Sex
2.money
3.children
are the most difficult to talk about. What are you top three and why?

Lukes Love Life answers:

Life, at dinner…

Joseph asks…

Why do people avoid interratial relationship topics?

Their are no pure race so why do people avoid dating other nationalities or races?

Lukes Love Life answers:

I have no idea. I have dated other races and think there is nothing wrong with it.

Your Questions About Online Relationships Don’t Work

Laura asks…

Have you ever had an online relationship?

I have with my boyfriend Erik. I’ve been with him 11 whole months now! He lives in America and I live in England.

And people say online relationships don’t work. Pshh.

Lukes Love Life answers:

That’s cool! If you are happy, that is all that matters.

Helen asks…

i don’t understand how bf/gf relationships work?

i just don’t get it. I have no idea where the difference between a friend and someone that would be more is drawn. I’m a guy, older, in college. I don’t really connect with many people, i’ve had my share of problems, like anxiety/depression, smoking too much pot, but it’s in the past. As such I’m a really great person with interests very outdoorsy. I just don’t get how relationships are supposed to work. This is why.

First girl I liked NEVER went out with me even though we were good friends. Second girl went out with me and we just talked all night and hung out and i felt a connection that i wasn’t even thinking about hooking up and i think that actually RUINED it. So the third girl, I tried to hook up first, and that ended in a one night stand. I had one other date but it was just dinner, she said something about next time we go out you’ll have to wear shorter shoes yadda yadda, but I did not call her the next day. I didn’t feel a connection or comofortable and I think dinner is a really bad first date.

When I try online dating sites, I end up trying to just keep email convo’s going back and forth and that never goes anywhere and they just stop mailing me. I’m a great guy I don’t get it. I also am not sure MYSELF if I want just sex or a full relationship. The only girl I really liked was the first girl who always said no when i asked her out but we were good friends. i haven’t felt like that towards anyone else. wth

Lukes Love Life answers:

I think the reason you haven’t worked it out yet, is that you haven’t felt the need to, because you haven’t really liked anyone enough, apart from the first girl you liked. With her, you did all the right things, she obviously just wanted to be friends. Now you’ve got to move forward, and stop comparing new girls you meet to her.

Once you really like someone, you just know what to do. There aren’t really any rules. It changes with every relationship, and depends on the circumstances. Just be honest, and you’ll work out what works best. If you both really like each other, it’ll work anyway, you don’t need to push it. If you don’t think dinner dates are a good way to start, tell her that, and suggest something that you feel more comfortable with. She’ll be grateful for it in the long run.

So my answer is, there isn’t a clear cut way that dating works. It’s basically just two people that really like each other spending time together. What they do is completely up to them, and is different in every relationship.

Hope I helped! Goodluck! :)

Paul asks…

Do you think online relationships can really work in the ” real world”?

Don’t get me wrong – I really enjoy the fact that I can get to know a woman – in my case – before actually meeting the person face-to-face. Just would like some input.

Thanks

Lukes Love Life answers:

I know a couple of people who met their other half online. There are few successful ones and there are few that didn’t have happy ending.

Unfortunately, humans haven’t created yet an invention that could statistically predict the likely of anyone’s relationship working out.

Online relationships varies, there are miles away apart or it can be in the same location. Race. Age. So which one is your situation?

If you are miles away apart then this is something uberly challenging and to watch for. Long-distance is always hard and I have been to one and I do not recommend it. Aside from missing the person, you need to spend a bundle of money to make this work and enjoyable.

Bottomline is, if you want that person it doesn’t matter where you meet her. It’s just a matter of how much work do you want to put in, and how badly you want to end together.

In every relationship it always takes two to tango so you need to be sure if the person on the other end of the line feels the same way.

Faith & Trust are the key!

Sandy asks…

Long term, online relationship?

………Has anybody (married) been involved with another woman/man in a long-term online relationship? I don’t mean a quick sex-chat…I mean long term…friendship but intimate……a situation where you have found the intimacy that you lack at home? Is it possible to live like that and never go further (no phoning or meeting)…please don’t respond if you haven’t had this experience…please don’t botther with the preachy replies…can an online relationship work as a compromise? …those of you who are in lonely relationships will know what I am on about. Please don’t answer if you are younger than 25.
To Pt’s property..no offence intended…plz answer if you want…

Lukes Love Life answers:

There is danger in this. I don’t mean physcial danger but it blocks you from sorting out problems you maybe should consider solving, blocks you from meeting others, blocks you from being with your special other, even if you are lonely and the real realtionship is no good. It stops you from evolving.
It creates a safe haven for fantasies, sharing problems, discussing things and reinforcing your misery as well. But it doesn’t solve anything. Its a real person on the other end, like you, but its like being in outerspace.
Its no more or no less bad that writing to a columnist in some paper, only the response is instant and many. You can sit for hours with this person, get worked up, say you love, cry, everything… But its an outerspace thing.

This energy you are putting into this, you are doing so because its human nature not to be lonely, but its energy not well spent for the search of happiness. Its like a car in neutral with your foot pressed hard on the gas. Getting nowhere…

It will block you. This is the problem. That energy should be used in a real life situation, the time you spend in front of that screen and the time you spend waiting for people to get out of the house so that you can be lonely and in peace with your pc friend is not healthy. I am not preaching as I know how this feels but it is the same as continually reading a good book, only one that you orchestrate. It is not fruitful and it is not a good compromise. Real is real.

Ken asks…

Does online dating work?

is there a chance it could work? i hear long distance relationships don’t work. but i don’t know though

Lukes Love Life answers:

It can work
sometimes it won’t work

if you set a few simple basic rules for online dating – it CAN work for you.

I can say from personal experience, it can work.

Your Questions About Relationship Test

Sandy asks…

What is the test statistic that you would use to test for a relationship between the two variables?

Your project includes 30 countries and two variables. The project explores how a country’s GDP depends on its level of exports. In your 30 countries, you find a slope of 1.34 and a standard error of the slope of 0.34. What is the test statistic that you would use to test for a relationship between the two variables?

Lukes Love Life answers:

T test

Carol asks…

What is the relationship between a t test and an F test?

In simple regression, with a null hypothesis that the slope = 0, using a t test is equivalent to using the F test. I’m wondering if anyone can explain the relationship between the t and F tests.

Lukes Love Life answers:

F = t^2

Mary asks…

I am in a new relationship and want a test to show I have no sexually transmitted diseases. How do I do that?

Have been in a partnership for 8 years, and before I begin another relationship need to know how to go about having a test done to prove I am clean and free from any transmittable infections. Where do I go to and how much will this cost. How long do the tests take?

Lukes Love Life answers:

You are making a wise decision.
You can go to planned parenthood. They will run a whole panel on every STD known to man.
PP will give you documentation to show your new partner.
A new partner and i did this 2 years ago, just to prove to each other we could trust each other. But ya know what? We still use condoms. Cuz you can never totally trust anybody.

Richard asks…

What are several aspects that test a relationship?

You’re dating someone for a while now. Challenges are gonna come in the way of your relationship. Perhaps jealousy would be one. What are some other challenging aspects that come in a relationship?

Lukes Love Life answers:

Jealously, Trust, Communication, Respect, Honesty, Drama, Controlling, Manipulation, Non Supportive, etc.

Susan asks…

What would be the best statistical analysis to test the relationship between the levels of 3 variables?

i.e., do individuals with low scores on test b, but higher scores on test a, will have higher levels of c than individuals with low scores on test a & low scores on test b.
Many thanks as I am stuck :^(

Lukes Love Life answers:

Group 1 :scores of individuals with low scores on test b, but higher scores on test a
Group 2: individuals with low scores on test a & low scores on test b.
Use level c scores of these two groups and test the hypothesis that the average scores are equal against it is not.

If the data are normal, you may use a t-test.

Your Questions About Love Calculator

Chris asks…

How do u make a love calculator with turbo delphi 2007?

Ive been doing IT for the past few months im very instrested but also bit confusing for me, we have a project for a word game or a love calculator on delphi? anyone can maybe help me maybe with a basic guildlines how to make one or any help at all would be great!

Lukes Love Life answers:

Hi there,

I believe the most basic “love calculator” uses names to calculate compatibility; though exactly how you want it to work, I am unsure.

If you can provide me with a description of the required functionality (how), I don’t mind throwing an example project together, to help you on your way.

You can mail me at mystic.smeg@yahoo.co.uk. You will need to send me an e-mail so I can send you the project as a attachment, since I will be unable to post a project on here.

Betty asks…

How accurate is the online love calculator?

Recently I’ve come across the online love calculator and happens to give it a try using both my girlfriend’s and my names. I really love my girlfriend alot and I believe she does. But the result indicates 23% of success. So can anyone give me some advice regarding your opinions on the accuracy please.

http://www.lovecalculator.com/

Lukes Love Life answers:

How can you even believe its true, how come a bot with no IQ calculate your love without even knowing your relationship and other information etc. So its 0% correct. I think its just for fun and time pass.

Your Questions About Relationship Experts Advice

Jenny asks…

I NEED HELP!! Calling all relationship experts?!?

Please read this I’m so confused about this!

So i’ve been with my boyfriend for a year and a half now and I’ve known him for 4 years. i love him more than anything. he’s not good looking but his personality is what got me. he always jokes around but sometimes takes it too far. he never usually puts effort into our relationship and he always just ends up making me cry all the time. sometimes i realize that i shouldn’t end it cause i cant live without him but sometimes i wanna be single. our relationship is reallly on and off. it was off for a while and i’ve known this other guy for about 4 months now. he’s the sweetest guy ever. i felt guilty talking to him because i would literally get butterflies and he would make smile a lot. i felt so happy. and we ended up kissing. when i got back with my boyfriend i told him about the kiss and he was not that happy about it but he forgave me because he’s kissed someone before too. he kissed a girl while we were together and he didn’t tell me about it for months. wanna know how i found out? he went on my facebook and blocked the girl he kissed so she wouldnt tell me. it took me months to find out cause i dont block people so there is no need to check my security settings. hes lied to me A LOT before. for example he broke my trust after that. he was telling me that he would do anything to regain my trust again and he offered to show me his phone. so i said okay let me see. then he stopped and his hand was literally shaking and he didnt wanna show me the phone i saw it and saw that hes been texting a girl he hooked up with a long time ago (not in a flirty way though) my boyfriend is 20 and this other guy is 22. im 18. this other guy has been wanting to be with me for a long time now and he always tells me that he will wait for me. my boyfriend honestly puts me down so much to a point where my heart feels all heavy. i feel SO comfortable with him though cause i know everything there is to know about him and he can be a really good boyfriend at times. but i like this other guy and i love my boyfriend. the other guy makes me happy but i dont know him so well. i have no idea what to do can someone please help me out? give me some advice. i love my boyfriend but i feel like i cant really trust him anymore hes lied a lot but hes been honestly trying hard to change. but this other guy i really like him ive never been in a situation like this. i never thought it was possible to like someone and love someone else. the other guy is really good looking hes such a gentleman and he really wants to be with me. hes gorgeous. my boyfriend is not that good looking. i know its personality that counts but its kinda good to have your boyfriend be handsome. also i feel so good and the butterflies go insane when i hug the other guy. what should i do?
@Doctor Love 35: well yeah of course im immature im only 18 years old lol. but no i do not have any problems and i honestly dont think i need a male figure in my life. im fine without having a boyfriend this is pretty much my first actual boyfriend. ive been screwed over by my own family when i was a child but that doesn’t necessarily mean i need someone by me at all times.

Lukes Love Life answers:

I used to be in a situation a LOT like yours. I know it hurts, but if he’s cheated on you once, then thats once too many. If he’s done all these sketchy things like blocking that girl on your account, it shows he’s unreliable. I’d personally suggest trying to move on, but i know its easier said than done. But after moving on, it really opened my eyes and made me realize how much better i deserved, and i think you should give it a try also. I’d say go with the new guy and see where it takes you from there:)

Carol asks…

Relationship Advice | 5 years?

Like the title says, I’ve been in a relationship for almost five years with my girlfriend and have lived with her for about three years. Do love one another. However, I came home from work after receiving a text saying to wake her up because “we need to talk”. We all know what that means.

Let me give you some brief history of us. She is 2 1/2 years older than myself. When we met she was an “expert” and I was the “beginner” at relationships. She had been in about three serious relationships (2 years+, all of them ended up cheating on her), and my longest relationship lasted 8 months give or take (I have no experience with cheating or being cheated on).

Long story short, she got an “Anonymous” message from somebody on Facebook, saying that I was shady and to watch her back. It sounds strange. I admit that I am flirtatious, but I am always respectful and only do it in fun (and she is flirtatious as well).. and it doesn’t help that I work with pretty girls to flirt with either. Either way, she ends up searching through MY stuff. Am I surprised? No. Because she has gone through my stuff before. I’m not perfect, but I have never cheated. She did find three condoms, which does look suspicious.

Explanation for the condoms was just a few months ago she was joking about how she would just stop taking her birth control and get knocked up a couple of different times, and I freaked out and bought them (just reaction because it kind of scared me I guess) and didn’t tell her. She actually stopped with her behavior so I never had to break out the condoms (it was mostly to make a point, because I DO trust her).

The thing is, I had moved the condoms and didn’t realize I moved only two of the three condoms. So she had been going through my stuff on occassion to realize I had 3 condoms, and then 1 (the one I forgot to move with the other two).

Now she confronts me telling me that she received the “anonymous message” and she found the condoms and now there is only one. I present all three of the condoms, and explain why they are in there and why there were only one when she rechecked. When I ask about this message, and pry about it she tells me she couldn’t tell who it was. I tell her I wanted to see it, and she tells me she erased it.

We had a big fight. I basically say in so many angry words:
1) She trusted an “anonymous” person over me. — was there even a real message? My gut tells me that she used it as an excuse to go through my stuff, but I have no proof.

2) She doesn’t respect my privacy on numerous occassions and (she said she didn’t regret it and warned me she’d possibly do it again if she had reason to.)

3) She doesn’t trust me. She was mad about the fact that I bought condoms and kept them hidden from her for a month or two and feels that I need to tell her about having condoms in the house.

I admit I have a hard time trusting people, so its something that I cherish about her because she is always very loyal to me and takes care of me in so many ways. Sometimes she is my partner in crime. I love her, and she makes me weak. I have warned her about it before and feel I need to take a stand at some point.

I’m in a pickle. I either go back on my word and just forgive and expect the same behavior possibly in the future and pretty much accept this disrespect or I walk out on a good woman who’s past has tainted her ability to trust.

This berating is taking its toll on me and my patience is wearing very thin. I don’t know where to go from here. I don’t want to make a decision based off simply emotion. Our schedules allows me to have a day or two where I can have time to think about it. In about four days I am going to help her sister’s BF help install a CD player my GF and her sister bought her father for X-Mas.

Lukes Love Life answers:

Sounds like a complicated situation. Seems like you love her alot, but people don’t change. Always remember that.

Steven asks…

Confused and need real advice from experts.?

I love this girl(I was 23 and she was 20) , we were to gather for about 8 months and later she broke up with me due to some arguments. I tried to get back with her but she refuse to continue.3 months later she got a new boyfriend and they were going strong. I was so devastated but i believed she will realize her mistakes and come back to me. I could not move on as i loved her so much (she is my first love), i had faith that we will be back together. After 1 year 8 months, they had issue and they broke up. She tried to resolve the issue but that guy was not ready to go on. I was still in love with her and could not see her devastated and i tried to be close to her as a shoulder to cry on. She cries and tells me her problems. After a month a spoke to her n when i said that i still have feelings for her she was happy n we got back together. It went for 3 months and she told me that she can’t forget the other guy and she loves him so much and that she is confused. I was very sad that she loves him more than me. She told me that she feels like cheating me when she is with me but thinking of the other guy and she also told me that she wants to try to get back with the other guy.I love her so much that her happiness is more important to me, so to make it easy for her i said i’ll walk away from this relationship, she told me she feels bad that she put me in such a situation for the second time. She still wants me to be friends with her, which i can cause i love her dearly.

I still have faith that she will learn her mistakes and come back to me. But i’m confused to should i take her back if she returns or should i not.
I have mixed feelings, 1 side of me says that i just love her so much that no matter what, i’ll take her back. Another side of me says that i should not take her back as she might do the same thing again. As the saying goes “Fool me once,shame on you.Fool me twice, shame on me”, i don’t want to make my self a fool. Please, i need real advice, I LOVE HER so so much.

Lukes Love Life answers:

I couldn’t get pass this statement “need real advice from experts”. You’re really in the wrong place for expert advice.

Ken asks…

Laura asks…

Therapists, Experts or Counselors Advice Needed?

My ex says he loves me but doesn’t want an open relationship because he is afraid what his family/friends would say. But in reality he ain’t a gay and he pretended to be a gay and he used me and then he threw me away yet he says he loves me. I mean WTF. So I asked for a breakup but now I feel as if it’s me who finally got dumped. I cry day and night. I cry into my pillow every night :-( Few days back I was so depressed and I was having suicidal thoughts. I kept crying like a loser and I was feeling so bad that I was thinking about suicide. It was like 3am and I needed someone’s comfort to help me feel better so I phoned my friends but they were zzz fast asleep. Then I did something very stupid. I visited an online chat community and asked if anyone could call and help me deal with my suicidal thoughts :-( A guy called me up and he consoled me. He really cheered me up and I felt good. We talked too much (3 hours actually lol). He was so nice and supportive. He listened everything attentively and then he counseled me also (BTW he lives in the state I’m from) and we talked and I really liked him. Just when I was about to give up on everything I found him and he helped me. I told him that he was destined to put a smile back to my face and he giggled :-) Next day he phoned me again just to make sure I was still alive lol. Then he asked me if I wanted to add him on facebook. I added him and afterwards he didn’t call me anymore. Now he saw my pics on facebook and he phoned me and said I looked really cute. Then he said he would meet me and hug me. He said he liked my facial piercings and would buy rings for me :-/ Now he calls me everyday and says- Hey how’s my sexy boy doing? How are you lovely? You had your dinner darling? I miss my cutie pie and stuff like that. I ask him if he is gay or not but he says NO. I mean he is a nice guy but now it’s becoming a bit annoying. I can’t keep my phone off for some reasons so I don’t pick up his calls then he texts me and says- Are you busy sweetie? Can I call you now etc :-/ Yesterday he texted me and said- I want to meet you as you just might need some… (whatever that means lol). I told him that I couldn’t meet him because if my parents caught me I would get screwed up. Now he asks me if he can still continue to call me. What should I do now? I want to say NO because it’s started to become somewhat irritating as he calls me all the time and talks a lot. But if I said NO that would hurt him. I don’t want that because he is a nice guy and he had helped me so much when I was about to give up on life. What excuse should I make so he stops calling me without feeling bad and I don’t want to sound harsh? Please help?

My second question is- How do I get over the breakup? I still cry over the breakup like losers. I feel uneasy even when many people are interested in me and I’m not bothered to flirt no more. I go into town daily with my friends. We hang out and see movies and do shopping. This I do just to take my mind off the breakup but nothing is happening. I miss my ex all the time and now I’ve started listening to sad and depressing songs and I imagine him and then I create movies in my mind. I mean WTF has happened to me?

Lukes Love Life answers:

If you don’t want him to call so much, tell him outright. He can’t read your mind. He may not even be aware that he’s pushing or stepping over your boundaries.

The breakup – the pain will get better in time. It’s a process and it won’t happen overnight. But you make it worse with the sad music. It’s positive that you go to town with friends. It’s important to grieve in healthy ways. Don’t try to fill the void with drugs, alcohol, food,gambling or God forbid, another relationship – give yourself time to hurt and then heal.

Your Questions About Divorce Rate

Jenny asks…

Why do people say the divorce rate for interracial marriages are more than same-race marriages?

I know it could happen due to bigot in-laws.

Why do people say the divorce rate for interracial marriages are more than same-race marriages? Aren’t divorce rates over 50%?

What is the Divorce rate by profession ?

I need some statistics about the divorce rate among professionals, please if you know a site or a institution that manage this type of information i will appreciate it. Is just for a college work and i can’t find any recent data. Thanks in advance.

Lukes Love Life answers:

Its going to be hard to find recent data because there is no general census for divorce rate among different industries/professions.
None of the searches I did were recent.
Sorry…
Interesting though.

John asks…

How can we as a society try to reverse the rate of divorce?

In my opinion, its too easy for people to get divorced. Needless to say, some will have legitimate reasons. But too often, people get divorced for such trivial arguements and things its laughable.

What happened to “till death do us part”? What about kids that have to live in a messy situation until they are 18? What about all the money that is squandered with divorce? How can we reverse the divorce rate?

This is a detriment to our society and must be reversed. This is also leading to a decline in birthrates.
Redisca, FYI, I WAS in that situation so I can talk about it.
I was in that situation as a kid.

Lukes Love Life answers:

I read recently that the divorce rate is actually declining a little, but only because there aren’t as many people getting married in the first place. They are living together instead. Frankly, I have no problem with adults marrying, divorcing, cohabiting, or engaging in serial relationships. I have a BIG problem when they have children, however. Life is hard enough without having the extra burden of an unstable home life. Children deserve all the security they can get. This lack of stability that is running rampant effects our entire society. But this doesn’t speak to your question.

I think the divorce rate is a reflection of a bigger problem—the fact that our culture has changed such that too many people put themselves and their needs first. For too many people, it’s all about THEM. I’m not sure how to reach people who are that self-centered. Perhaps we can just do the best we can to live a stable, serving, noble life. Perhaps if there are enough of us, we can demonstrate by example the pleasure that comes from a committed and functional family unit. It won’t happen overnight, but then, neither did the problem.

Joseph asks…

why is the divorce rate exceptionally high in the UK compared to France and Spain?

The UK is as liberal as France and Spain, and they are all similar-ish in GDP.

What do you think could be reason for the high divorce rate in the UK?

Do you think it is the tax system? I get the feeling that tax in the UK does not favour married couples. It favours single parents.

Lukes Love Life answers:

France and Spain are Catholic countries, maybe that has something to do with it. Also, as you suggest there are no real consequences to divorce in the U.K, single parents are favoured in every way. Sometimes the state makes a much more attractive ‘husband’ than a mundane life with a man you feel stuck with for financial reasons!

Laura asks…

divorce rate?

why are getting divorce so much these days

Lukes Love Life answers:

Women are not as financially dependent upon men, so they’re not stuck in unhappy marriages.

Consider the other answers you’re getting: laziness, poor planning, greediness, etc. None of these answers account for why divorce rates are high now, but were much lower up until just a few decades ago.

Something about our society has changed dramatically. And that something is our overall level of wealth, coupled with falling barriers to female careerism.

Your Questions About Relationship Help Online Chat

Richard asks…

How to get over online chat addiction…its seductive, anonymous, thrilling, help live in a fantasy world?

I am single male, twenty seven and enjoy romantic chat with women online and cyber sex at times…i am saving my virginity for marriage…i have been on and off chatting for around seven years now…since there are so many out there chatting i never have trouble in finding women…Now, I feel that chatting addiction can affect my relationship after marriage if I continue doing this. But chatting helps satisfy my sex fantasy as of now. How do I get over my addiction?

Lukes Love Life answers:

You need to understand why your doing what your doing first off.
Cyber sex allows for you to be in control.
You call the shots.
You decide what excites you and whether you will stay chatting with the one who can fill your desires for that time.

When your married, you won’t have the same kind of control you have now. Even some of your fantasies may not be your wife’s fantasies.
You may even feel that you would rather live in a fantasy world, then deal with the problems of reality with your wife.
You may even use the Internet as a crutch to relieve stress that comes in your life.
You may even find yourself, thinking of what other women excited you with, and feel your wife can not meet your expectations, therefore judge her, by thinking she is not enough.

Keep in mind, there are women out there that are just playing with your mind and throwing fantasies out at you, because they are lonely, or thrill that they can actually turn a man on.

When you enjoy great sex, your not going to be spending your time on the internet, looking for something you can actually do in your own bed. Unless your single of course, then that is another story.

Mary asks…

Guys… please help with this situation..its about online relationship…..?

I meet a guy here.. he’s single and younger.. Im married.. I thought I have a fun to chatting with the people online when hubby is on the business trip.. we had good time chatting with each other..
then he give me his phone #, want me to call him.. I never want to get seriouly with this guy.. just want to be friends with him..
Now.. he tells me, he wants me… and he wants to be with me…… How can people getting so seriouly in here..????
what does he wants..?? Thks for your time..

Lukes Love Life answers:

This can be tough because it’s not just tubes and wires in here. At the end of every keyboard is a heart and soul that is seeking something. Some might just want company, others sex, and others still are seeking to build a true relationship. Perhaps you two came at it from different viewpoints. Maybe the ground rules where never laid and now it’s like trying to close the barn door. Seems he is invested into you–unless he is just looking to get off with you. You will ultimately have to decide if you will even talk to him on the phone let alone in person, but know from a man who has been there–done that–that once you hear a voice it does change–they become more real–emotions become more intense even if it’s not what you intended to happen. Be careful of your heart. Write me if you would like to talk more on it..like I said i have been there a few times I must admit–but have learned some things along the way.

What service would you recommend? I know there is Skype and many others, any favorites (and cheap)?
Also, I need to purchase a webcam with microphone. Any suggestions?

I thank you so much in advance for your help and advice!

Lukes Love Life answers:

Check out the website 6rounds – http://www.6rounds.com

It’s a video chat app that doesn’t require any downloads (only Flash and you probably have it installed already) and it’s really easy to us. The chat also allows you to do a lot of stuff together with your partner (games, youtube and such) and it’s a really fun way to stay in touch.

Michael asks…

Online relationship troubles..Please help!?

I’ve known this guy from online for almost 3 years. We talked just as friends, he was someone cool to chat with. We talked about our daily lives and the people we were seeing. But within the past year it’s grown into a relationship. And next month, he’ll be coming to visit me.

Throughout the 3 years we’ve talked, we’ve shared everything. Especially people we were dating, we always went to eachother for advice. I always told him about the guys i was seeing and I thought he did the same. Well last week I found his myspace….

And as the title it says his name and the name of another girl. While the headline states “te amo ____” and his status said loved. I was in complete shock and hurt from seeing this. I couldnt believe he was talking to another girl this whole time. I thought even if it was in the past, how come he never mentioned her name before???

When i questioned him he told him that it was over a year ago, his myspace was hacked and somegirl was going in there and putting random status to annoy him. That she changed the password and so finally he just left it and forgot about it. I believed him and thought things were back to normal…

When the next day I go back on that myspace and it showed that he had just logged in the day before when I brought it up. If he was on there…how come he didn’t delete the status or just delete the whole profile. Not to mention he told me he didnt even have the password.

Please help me! What should I do? Do I bring it up again and ask him why he was on there and didnt change anything? I dont want our relationship to be based on myspace…
