Karin12 went out with her boyfriend and his brother and they all got very drunk. When they returned home, her boyfriend went to bed while she remained in the kitchen with his brother. She remembers him kissing her, and she remembers exclaiming "OMG you're my boyfriend's brother!" but not much after that. She's afraid they "kinda had sex," but she's not sure. She told the brother not to say anything, and he promised, but she's afraid it's going to come out.

Rachel has been married for almost nine months, and she feels like her husband has been sneaky and is lying to her. She found marijuana he was hiding, a viagra in his work pants and his cell phone bill was $300 last month with several unknown numbers with multiple calls to them. He claims it's because he's depressed and unhappy and says he will go over the bil with her but keeps finding an excuse. She asks how to get over this and start to trust him. Thoughts?

Fay was engaged to marry, but about a year ago she called it off. After a day of drinking, he lost his temper when she asked him not to sit on the couch in his wet swimsuit. After police were called by neighbors, a shaken Fay called the wedding off, kicked him out and began counseling. He received his own counseling, and a year later says he's sorry, still in counseling and wants to be the man she deserves. She asks: Can a person truly change? I gave my answer -- what do you say?

Chris is a single, 42 year old female. Never married without children, she would love a family and now she's engaged! Great, right? Except her fiance' has mood swings, is a perfectionist, went through rehab, now takes pain meds, spent time in jail for disorderly conduct, has an 11 year old son he can't see, due to CPS orders, and much more. She desperately wants a family but wonders is this marriage a good idea?

Jen has a new boyfriend, who lives up-state. Before they were seriously dating, she got very drunk and the next thing she remembers is waking up, in bed, with him kissing her neck. She "thinks" they slept together, and needs to know how to handle this terrible situation. Does she tell her boyfriend and ruin the brothers' relationship? Or does she keep quiet and hope the incident never comes out?

Victoria and her new boyfriend love each other, but any time he is exhausted or drinking, he begs her not to hit him. Turns out, he is reacting from memories of being hit and abused by his ex. She wants to help him have a future that is not defined by the violence he suffered in the past. It's not reported as often; is there a difference when a woman abuses a man?

Marissa, a therapist, has been with her boyfriend for seven years, and now they're engaged. But now she sees differences she doesn't know if she can live with --  He's a musician making just enough to squeak by, hasn't filed income taxes for over ten years, smokes marijuana every day and refuses to at least cut back. She's becoming resentful that he's not pulling his weight, or doing anything he promised, but she's afraid to break up with him because she loves him and she's afraid she'll never find love like this again.

He ignores me and will not talk to me or get over things -- he holds a grudge. He ignores me for hours, sometimes days, which is very hurtful. He talks to me very disrespectfully around his friends.

I've been with my guy for three weeks. He is a compulsive spender, overeater and is addicted to marijuana. He also yells at my 11 year old daughter.

He wanted time apart and said I was not the priority I needed to be for him. I am crushed because I gave all I could.

It wasn't until we moved in together that I realized just how bad his eating habits were and how closely they were related to his pot usage. Unlike some overeaters, he eats normal sized meals and rarely eats fast food.

He says he does it to get a sense of euphoria, where he doesn't get mad about anything.

One morning when our daughter was eight weeks old I found him in the bath passed out from cocaine, alcohol and marijuana, with his head going under the water.

He is addicted to marijuana, and I don't know what to do to help him. He says he is not addicted and will smoke marijuana every day for the rest of his life.

When confronted with the truth, he doesn't get embarrassed. He continues to tell lies about impending trips to Asia on business.
