Where can I clarify married love matters? Are there any specific forums to discuss?
Can anyone help me with web addresses or the kind in order to clarify matters of married committed love relationship? Any forums to discuss intimate love matters for mutual enrichment and improvement in a marriage of 22 years??

Lukes Love Life answers:
I would suggest some things. One is tantra. Get a video of tantra practices. It deepens things.
Also i suggest the book “getting the love you want” which helps a lot
i suggest meditative practices.
But for the deepest, truest changes i suggest nonviolent communication. It is a practice created by marshall rosenbert that actually works (for me) to dramatically improve my marriage and the intimacy and closeness i feel as well as love in my relationship. It’s not easy, you have to work to improve your skills. But your spouse doesnt’ have to know the techniques. It works like a charm. This is my #1 suggestion if you really want to improve your marriage.

Laura asks…
IS IT JUST ME? Or do you guys find it funny when you read some questions?
I mean I have a couple of questions
1. Why is it when reading questions through the mental health forum & you read the comments why does 9x out of 10 there are comments such as go get professional help? I mean some questions I read are just everyday problems & everyday depression & worries but yet you still find ppl telling the asker to seek a psychologist? When in fact they don’t have to
2. Why is it in the mental health column people ask questions about relationships & how to fix them when there is a singles & relationship forum on here?
3. Is it just me or do you guys (I’m talking to ppl 19 & over now) is it just me or do you guys feel that sometimes you shouldn’t even ask questions because of the fact that teens on here?
I mean I have no problems with teens I think alot of times teens give much better advice than some older folks but it feels like they couldn’t possibly relate or know your circumstance

Lukes Love Life answers:
1) AGREED
2) AGREED… And wtf? WHY!
3) AGREED… There are too many youngin’s on here… Like 13 and 14.. GEEZ
I agree with your last statement about teens giving better advice. There is a weird kind of empathy that people have in their younger years that fades with time. BUT… The trials of going it on their own is just something they do not have the knowledge to relate to, as much as they’d like to.
Basically…. They give good advice on an emotional level, but not so much on the practical level

Joseph asks…
I’m a cheat and I need help?
21, female.
Umm, I’m hands down going to admit I’m a serial cheater. I’ve been cheated on before and it hurts, I can tell you every single reason why someone shouldn’t cheat and I never ever encourage it in anyone else, but I still do it.
I always cheat on the ones that never hurt me, are with me long term and crazy about me. I don’t know…maybe my brain is still in some weird twisted loop where I’m used to the horrible complicated world of dating. I never got a chance to be single and learn to love myself for more than a couple of months.
Whatever, there’s no excuse. I don’t need to be bolloxed thanks, I’ve already been told by someone that I should do a man a favour one day and never get married….ouch.
One of my problems is that I used the excuse, I’m young, I’m not married to the guy, it’s not illegal and it’s not bad in the eyes of the church so, so what?
I know it’s morally and emotionally wrong. Argh, what I’m trying to say is, is there anywhere I can go for help? Are there any support groups near London, Brighton area? Or on the net? I tried one relationships forum but everyone on there is a MORON who sees love through very unexperienced, rose tinted glasses. I just need support to stop!
Being yelled at and told how horrible I am makes me care less!
I love my boyfriend now and I want to act before it’s too late.

Maybe you are a sex addict and need counselling.

Steven asks…
Need opinions from guys with military experience?
I originally posted this question in the relationship forum but thought maybe guys with some military background would be more helpful. Sorry, but it’s kinda long. So here it goes:
Question for you guys out there: would any of you want to be in a relationship with an intelligent, witty, and sexy but in a sophisticated way sort of girl who just so happens to be totally into fighter jets (especially of the Navy variant) and anything that has anything to do with military warfare, demolition, and combat strategy? She’s also super good at stuff like math, science, computers, and engineering. But she’s not that big into most sports though…except for pool (as in pool & billiards). Then she’s like a pool fiend, and you have to drag her off of the pool table.
My best friend is just like that and she’s having a really hard time finding a boyfriend. I can’t figure out why. She is really beautiful and kinda looks like Angelina Jolie with the high cheekbones and pouty lips. And she has curves in all the right places. But she has like no interest in girl stuff. Like her DVD collection has nothing but stuff like Saving Private Ryan, Black Hawk Down, The Godfather, and tons of documentaries about history and the military. Her fave music genres are heavy metal stuff like Rammstein and KMFDM, but she also loves operas and symphonies and classical music. Oh, and she hates Celine Dion, The Titanic, and pretty much anything feminine like romantic movies and even dresses and skirts. She can carry a great conversation pretty much about anything like politics or history or current events or culture, but like I have to pick out outfits for her because she has no clue and doesn’t even care. Her fave store to shop at is the military surplus store!!! I mean she’ll wear make-up and doesn’t look guyish at all, but she just doesn’t act like one.
But I’m a girly girl and I want to see her be more feminine. She’s a really good friend and I like her a lot. I guess my real question is if there are any guys out there that would actually want to be in a relationship with a girl like that or I should try to get her to change.
Oh, BTW, she also has this weird, twisted, kinda cynical, sarcastic and morbid sense of humor. And she has no clue when a guy is interested in her; like she just thinks all guys are just like war buddies. Is she just plain weird? Could that be the reason?
Also, pls try to make your answer as detailed as possible, and thx 4 the help.
Thx 4 all the great answers, guys!!! Plz keep them coming. I just wanted to add that she doesn’t have many female friends, prob. mainly because she doesn’t know how to be female…I mean like personality. She definitely looks like one. She just doesn’t act or think like one! Actually, her only other female friend is her god-sister!!!
But like she’ll just bond almost instantly to a guy, and most of the time, the guy has some sort of military background.
To Big_Jake,
Thx for your sincere response. I just want to say that it’s not like she doesn’t know they’re “interested” in her. It’s more like she doesn’t know if the guy just wants sex out of her b/c of her looks or he’s actually really interested in her as a package, like her personality and everything. Like I know she can intimidate alot of guys cuz I’ve seen her do that, but she’s really sweet and like totally loyal in a good relationship, and that’s why I wanna help her so much!!!
To Marine5,
Y would you ever say that? Like why can’t u believe there really are girls like that? Like I should be more jealous of her, but I’m not. Like if you knew her, you’d know it’s really hard to be jealous of her, cuz she really is a good person.

Lukes Love Life answers:
Sounds near perfect (I can’t say I dig the heavy metal). And if she likes Navy fighters, then she’s smart as hell — the F-14D was the best fighter ever produced.
Personally, for me she sounds like my dream girl – smart, witty, sacrcastic, great conversationalist, pretty, curvy, interested in the military, good at math & science, likes classical music, not into superficial clothes, etc. What’s not to like? Probably the only way she could be better is if she owned a bar.
But the point is she can’t change who she is, and more importantly, who she wants to be. She could pretend, but it would be miserable for her, and whatever guy she attracted would be into the fake persona, not her, so that wouldn’t help anyone. You say that “she has no clue when a guy is interested in her”, so guys have taken an interest. I suspect that there aren’t a whole lot of guys out there who are her equal and who she would be interested in, being that guys in general are just as shallow (though in different ways) as girls. Tell her not to settle. It’s not fun being alone when other people around you are pairing up, but being with the wrong person just to be dating is its own kind of problem.

Betty asks…
Why do people try to get help with their relationships on an open forum?
imho, its kinda weird.

Lukes Love Life answers:
A) Open forum or not, they’re 99.9% likely to be complete strangers whom you’ve never met before or are going to meet. If you have met them or are going to meet them, it’s not like you’re forced to give your full name – they probably would never find out.
B) Since some people come to this site to browse the Singles & Dating section, they probably are:
i) trolls
ii) actual people willing to give their advice to people who need it
And that advice is free as well. Anonymous people giving you free advice – what’s wrong with it?
So what if we’re strangers? I think it’s great that sites like Yahoo! Answers bring together people who’ve never met and let them help each other, whether this help be about dating or health products.
