My husband left me for an older woman
My husband was the love of my life and I thought we would grow old together. I did everything for him for the 12 years of our marriage and made our marriage as comfortable and happy as I possibly could.
Then I started hearing tales of him being around an older woman who ran a chain of restaurants. When I confronted him, he denied everything, saying his family was more important to him.

I am in love with my man's half-brother
When I met my current boyfriend, he never mentioned anything about having a half-brother. We’d been together for about a year when he introduced him to me at a social gathering.
Is my Mum still seeing her ex?
I finished university education recently and mum used her clout to get me to serve in the state of my choice by sending me to one of her influential friends.
Of course, I knew who he was then— an ex-boyfriend of mum’s. But the way he fell all over trying to help made me have a feeling there was still something between them.
After my youth service, he not only made sure that I got employed right away, he also give me some money to tide me over until I got my first salary.
My dad runs a law firm with three other lawyers but he does not have mum’s connections in the corporate world— she used to be a confidential secretary now turned a director of a good company.

I can't resist my ex
I‘m currently married to a widower, who is a smashing husband and father to my two children from my first marriage. He has three children of his own.
I still have to get in touch with my ex to discuss the children’s welfare from time to time and we have sex whenever we could. We’ve always been sexually compatible.

My doctors says it's okay to eat eggs; is he correct?
A few years ago, my dietician put me on a diet that forbade eggs and other high- cholesterol foods. It took a long time for the level of the cholesterol I have in my blood to drop.
Now my young doctor told me that cutting off eggs totally from my diet is unnecessary.
That an egg a day does more good than harm. Is he correct? He does seem to know what he is saying.
We had sex, but he's unaware I'm HIV positive
I was diagnosed as HIV positive a couple of years ago and was referred to a teaching hospital. The medication I received is keeping me well, but I get depressed and have withdrawn from friends and go out alone.
Last month, I met someone at a family do and later slept with him for affection.
The problem is, I didn’t tell him I was HIV positive and, stupidly, we didn’t use any contraception.
Now I’m terrified of what he will think or do if I tell him. What should I do?
