Andrew in Lake George writes: My girlfriend wants to spend almost every waking moment with me and gets offended when I want some alone time.  We're both in our mid-twenties, have been dating for about a year and don't live together.   She gets offended on nights when I don't invite her over or don't want to go over there.  It's not like I don't want to be with her, I just honestly like alone time.

Roscoe in Latham writes: My girlfriend is in her late 30's and during the pandemic, she's really used the time off from not working to get herself into great shape.  She recently told me that she also wants to get some botox and lip fillers to complete the look she's always desired.  I've yet to really tel her what's on my mind.    I'm all for her doing what makes her happy, but I've always drawn

Simone in Grafton writes: Please help.  My husband and I have one kid and he's 7.   He constantly plays me and my husband against one another.  It's almost as if he likes when we argue so he can divide and conquer.  The other day,  while my husband and I were spatting,  my son asked for something and I said 'no.' Immediately he said 'well I'm gonna go ask dad' and my husband stupidly said 'yes' an

Travis in Ballston Spa writes: I don't want this to sound sexist - because this is strictly regarding MY girlfiend- but she's a terrible driver. I don't own my own car now, so she drives us everywhere and I literally feel like when she's behind the wheel I'm holding on for dear life...

Alex in Wynantskill writes: My best friend used to have the coolest dog. His name was Eddie and he was 8 years old and died two night ago.  So my buddy comes over for a few drinks and sits and talks to me and my wife. He's a wreck and I can't blame him. Here is where it gets weird. He lives in an apartment and I own my house. He begged me to bury his dog in my yard last night. Freaked my wife out

Peter in Ravena writes: Please help...I can't get over my ex and it's been 5 years. I know guys- it's ridiculous but I can't.  It's just as much her fault as it is mine because we remain friends.  So she keeps me hanging around and that certainly doesn't help. And she knows how I feel, because I've told her.   My friends and family think I'm a moron because I can't let it go- but they also blame h

Todd in Ravena writes: My roommate is so negative.  We used to be friends but I can't take it anymore.  She whines and complains about everything.  From the food we eat, to the shows we watch, her coworkers, bosses, family and friends.  I'm sure behind my back she complains about me!  She's just a negative person - can I kick her out for just being negative? Todd in Ravena wants to kick his roomma

Brad in Pittsfield writes: My girlfriend and I have been dating for almost 6 years and in that time we've built a life together.  We have a dog, rent an apartment together, have many of the same friends - all the things that couples do.  Recently, she's been off.  I'd say for the past 5 months or so.  She just chalked it up to the stress of the pandemic but now I know that not to be true because s

Stephanie in Colonie writes: Before the pandemic, my boyfriend and I were looking at engagement rings and I picked out a few that I liked and he was on top of it.  Fast forward now 5 months later.  He hasn't been working all that much picking up a few odd jobs here and there and money on his end has been tight.  I'm not expecting the ring anytime soon and he knows this, yet the other day he mentio
