I can't stay faithful to one man

I can’t remember when I’ve had only one boyfriend— I’ve always two-timed, at times having three relationships at one go.
The men do it all the time and if my lovers don’t know about each other, where is the harm? 

I saw a nude photo hubby and another woman; he shows little remorse for his betrayal

A few months ago, I discovered my husband of 15 years was having a torrid affair with another woman. I only found out by accident when I came across photos of both of them naked on his mobile phone.
He swears they didn’t have full sex, and that their relationship is now over.

I'm off sex with my man now I'm pregnant

I’m currently pregnant for my boyfriend of two years. The problem is, since being pregnant— as I write this I’m at 15 weeks— I’ve gone completely off sex! affectional kissing, etc.
Now I’m worried because I really don’t want to fall out of  love with him. Is it just my hormones?

Fetish mother-in-law

SINCE we got married over six years ago, my mother-in-law has always poked her nose into our problems— real or perceived. When I had a couple of miscarriages, she was always over with native potions and charms, which I threw in the rubbish bin.
I now have two healthy children, still she comes around with charms and potions to ward off ‘evil spirits’! I used to humour her, but I’m now fed up with her antics. She’s now insinuating she would like to have the kids over from time to time.
I wouldn’t have minded, but for the fear that she might rub her numerous potions on them when I’m not there to stop her. 
My husband has refused to have a word with his mum. According to him, she means well and whatever she gives her grand-children wouldn’t hurt them. 
Help!

Whatever you do, you want your mother-in-law on your side. Your husband is right, the woman wouldn’t deliberately want to endanger the lives of her grandchildren.
Have a word with her about how you feel but if she still insists on bringing the charms and potions, then you must continue dumping them in the rubbish bin.
However, you can’t control the way she cares for your children when they’re with her. Whatever she gives them would be easily washed off as soon as they get home.
As for the ingested potions, don’t worry, they’ll come away when they use the toilet!

I just want to be loved

I’m 30, single and lonely. Nobody understands how unhappy I am. I’ve had an affair with a man who is 20 years older than me. He is married and puts me off for months. I persisted in pursuing him and eventually we ended up in bed together.
He said it was just sex, but I’m emotionally involved. We’ve slept together about six times now. He keeps warning me we should put a stop to it, that he loves his family and does not want to hurt his wife. Yet, I’m obsessed with him.

I don't like sexually submissive women!

ALTHOUGH I am a happy and healthy man living in a large city, I am having great difficulty in finding sex partners, since my marriage fell apart 18 months ago. 
It is common knowledge that there are many middle-aged women who are looking for a partner after the loss, by death or otherwise, of their life partners.
Many, who have not lost them, still wish to have an intimate relationship outside their marriage in the hope that this extra-marital relationship will provide something that marriage or living together cannot.
