Hey Michelle, my girlfriend is so kickass and low maintenance, God bless her. She’s been a little depressed lately because of some family issues and crap at work. I want to take her on a vacation to cheer her up. I’ve never really been anywhere so I’m no expert. Could you give me some ideas for a great vacation that would cheer a girl up?

Well I don’t know your girlfriend but I’d say if you think with all she has on her plate a vacation wouldn’t be adding stress or burden to the situation then go for it, perhaps somewhere just for a weekend. Try somewhere romantic with sunshine and frosty liquor. All bitches love frozen drinks.
My fiancé comes from money, a lot of it. I come from a regular lower middle class family. I’m doing great and I just graduated from law school but with student loans I just need a little while to get situated. How can I explain this to her so she really gets it and stops trying to get me to buy 00 refrigerators, at least for now?
Smith, 29, Brockton, Mass.
Well Smith this should have been something you thought about before putting a ring on it! My family has money and I happen to be very down to earth and simple. Being self-centered, oblivious, and materialistic doesn’t necessarily come from having money. Some people are just that way fueled by others condoning it. Why don’t you simply tell her if she wants a 5000 dollar refrigerator to pay for it herself? It’s 2014.
My girl talks extremely dirty during sex, like disturbingly dirty. She says stuff you wouldn’t hear in the nastiest porn around and honestly it’s a bit much. It’s so crazy it’s kind of a turn off. How can I get her to tone it down without telling her how fucked up some of the stuff she says is?

Well I suppose not everything is for everyone. I’ve never met a guy who complained to me that his girlfriend talked dirty so I can only imagine your girl is on a whole other level and possibly nuts, especially if this is one sided filth talk, that’s weird. If I were u I’d just cover her mouth forcefully as soon as she starts scaring you and pretend like it turns you on.
My girlfriend and I have been dating for a year. Whenever we have even the stupidest argument, she won’t talk to me for like 3 days which is such a waste of time. She’ll even ignore my calls. Is there any way to get her to deal with arguments better? Everybody has them.

She sounds like a classic cunt Richard. She knows the game and she is winning. Unfortunately, nine out of ten times in a relationship one person has the power and sorry to break it to you but she’s got it! I suggest finding someone else, a relationship in which no one has the upper hand is an adult relationship. The thing is, when one person cares more than the other does it’s a done deal and that doesn’t change or get better. Next time you argue don’t call her at all, like never again.
I know this is probably stupid but my girlfriend told me something I’m having a tough time getting past. She told me in college she had a threesome with 2 guys. She’s loyal and she’s awesome but there’s something about picturing your girl getting tag teamed that just sucks. Am I wrong here or what?

Pete grow up, you are 31 years old! When you love someone it doesn’t matter what they have done before you. Love is accepting and understanding there was life before you and don’t forget that if you can’t get over it there will be life after you too.
