relationships

Casey in Amsterdam writes: My boyfriend and I (Both in our mid-twenties) have been dating for almost 3 years and things are good - we spend a ton of time together but the only thing that's really a nuisance, is that we need to travel 45 mins see each other. I live alone, he lives in Troy with a roommate.  I have a large place that is plenty big for the 2 of us, and for the last year or so, I've be

Willa in Greenville writes: "My husband and I have been married for 3 years, and we bought our first home last February. Normally we have Thanksgiving dinner at his mom's house but she said that this year she doesn't feel comfortable hosting...so his mom and dad are staying home.  My husband is insistent about having us host this year. It would be like 8 other people.  Here's the problem- it'

Danielle in Speigletown writes: My boyfriend and I have been together for nearly 9 years. We're both in our late 20's.  We've lived together for 7, and while we don't have any kids, we do have two dogs.  We basically are a married couple - he even refers to me as  "wifey" but when I ask him about marriage, he kind of just changes the subject.  What's the deal here? We're approaching 10 y

Braelyn in Saratoga writes: My boyfriend and I have been together for 2.5 years and while he claims to be deeply in love with, he also says he still has feelings for his "first love". They have never really stopped talking w each other for the 12+ years since they broke up.  He admitted to me last year that he "just doesn't think he can ever stop having feelings for her" despit

Robin in Latham writes: My boyfriend and I have been dating for about 4 months and I think he's hysterical but sometimes the way he jokes with people rubs them the wrong way.  He doesn't do it on purpose, but his sarcastic nature makes some people feel uncomfortable.  He upset my sister and her husband recently by cracking a joke about their dog- a rescue. This was the first time they met him and

Vanessa in West Sand Lake writes: About a year ago, I asked one of my very dear friends to be a bridesmaid in my wedding.  My fiancé and I were supposed to be married this past September, but because of COVID, we pushed it off which has been a blessing for many reasons. None greater than me finding out that my "friend" made a really inappropriate comment to my fiancé over the Summer.  On

Megan in Rotterdam writes: I may have slightly flirted with a colleague of mine after I had a few drinks recently.  A group of us went out after work and he and I started talking, joking and things got a little touchy-feely. At the end of the night I gave him a little peck on the cheek.  No big deal at the time- but now things are super awkward because I do have a crush on him and it's been silent

Zach in West Sand Lake wrote: I've been married to my wife for 19 years and I just don't find her attractive anymore.  She's beautiful on the inside but I'd be lying to ya if I told you that my mind doesn't stray from time to time.  I would never act on it, because I'm a faithful man but  after 2 kids and a lifestyle that has never included the gym, she's really let herself go.  I'm past the point

Terrance in Troy writes: I'm sure you hear this type of thing all the time, but there is a major divide in my household over next months election. My wife and I are both in our early 30's and while we seem to agree on most things - and surprisingly get along very well - we're split on the election.  I'm trying to get her to vote for my candidate, otherwise our votes will just cancel each others ou

Dave in Chatham writes: Hey guys- love the show.  Hoping Mr. LC can give me a little insight as to why I haven't had a date in years.  You see, recently I asked a friend the same question, and I wanted her to answer honestly. She said it’s probably because I’m bald...

Daryll in West Sand Lake writes: My GF and I have been dating for about 2.5 months.  We both agreed that we're going to take things slow as we're both less than two years removed from divorce.  The other day she told me that '"her parents are excited to meet me" and that they invited us over next weekend for dinner. I was obviously uncomfortable and told her that I wasn't ready to meet t

Amy in Wynantskill writes: My boyfriend is so bad with money and it drives me crazy.  He always has money to hang with the fellas and go drinking, or bet on football games.  But he never has money to take me out, or plan a nice trip or something.  Sometimes I wonder if he actually has the money, but just doesn't want to spend any of it on us.  What are your thoughts Love Cowboy.
