Cohabiting is fast leading toward breakup
-- Trying to Stay Positive
Dear Trying: Thank you so much for outlining a common response to illness or grief, which seems to flow from an impulse to fill the silent, awkward or painful spaces with a relatable episode or anecdote.
Your response to this is perfect, and you are helping many others to avoid similarly painful situations by sharing your own story.
Thank you. I wish you the very best.
Dear Amy: The question from "Worried" detailed how upset she was because a guy she had gone on 10 dates with wouldn't have sex with her!
What about waiting? What about morals? Some people still have them, and I'm disappointed with you for agreeing with her.
-- Disappointed
Dear Disappointed: Morals are still important, and when it comes to sex, talking about morals is vital.
