Fighting Friends
Q: I have a friend that I keep fighting with and then
making up. It's getting exhausting. Should I keep her or drop her? Apologize?
Make up? I'm spinning here.
Signed,
Friend or Foe?
A: Dear Friend or Foe:
Fighting is important in any relationship, but when two female friends have a blow out, mending the fence can be difficult. Here are step by step directions on how to do it:
MAKE UP
If you want to make up with a friend, it's sometimes hard to take the first step. Here are some tips on doing just that...
Rehab Romance
Q: I am currently attending a drug program and I have
feelings for my counselor who is also a woman and a fellow recovering
addict. I told her that I have feeling for her, but her response was
that because of my job she would feel guilty if we were to get into a
relationship. But, at the same time she is telling me that if the feeling
I have for her will help me to get over my baby’s daddy keep those
feelings. Also, at the same time she is telling me that she will be here,
so I am getting mixed messages. What should I do? I think she likes me
too.

Recovering
A: Dear Recovering:
Congratulations on attending a drug program to help you recover from your dependency issues. Drug addiction is a very difficult and serious affliction. It takes a lot of strength and courage to do what you are doing.
Wedding Bells Blues
Q:The wedding is over, the thank you notes are written.
It's too soon to be in a rut -- right? So, why do I feel so down?
Signed,
Wedding Wind Down
A: Dear Wedding Wind Down:
Post-partem, the blues women get after having a baby, are the most famous,
and legitimized kind of depression because there is a physical event
associated with them, so it's easy to rationalize.
Who Pays?
Q: I’m going on a first date. Who pays? Me? Or
him?
Signed,
Who’s Treat?
A: Dear Who’s Treat:
Money matters. Most marriages break up because of differences in sex and money, and anyone who thinks money -- and who pays for a first date -- doesn't matter is fooling themselves. The first date sets the tone for the rest of the relationship. It also gives each person another clue into who their date is and how they behave with money.

First dates are notorious for bringing out the worst in people. The nervousness
builds, the anticipation builds, the expectations build and the fun goes
out the window. It feel like a tense job interview not knowing whether
or not you are getting the job.
