We check in with Carlyn Hax, Cary Tennis and Dear Prudence for some advice rebuttal. This time around they take on the other woman, hot sauce as a spermicide and selling eggs (human eggs) to make ends meet.
Everyone thinks they can give good advice, if only that were true. That's why we sometimes to pros for our relationship advice. But even the pros sometimes miss it a little. This time around there's a little disagreement with what Margo Howard, Cary Tennis and Amy Dickinson have to say about Viagra, financial inequality and cheating using dating sites.
Jealousy, that envious devil, screws with even the strongest relationships. Today we give relationship advice and partially refute the advice of Carolyn Hax, Cary Tennis and Margo regarding a boy-crazy BFF, a guy that likes the platonic company of another woman and what to do when he won't admit you're his girlfriend.
Yesterday Salon's advice columnist answered a question from a woman in her mid-twenties who was wondering if she should marry her boyfriend of three years or break up with him because she thinks he might not be the right person for her. He's a "great guy," and they love each other but she's worried that differences in sex preferences, emotional needs and personality might mean they're not right for each other. "Marriage feels somewhat imminent, but looking at it right now, I don't think I would say yes… I look at my parents, who embody passionate, romantic love…it's hard not to want that. I'm not sure if I'm being unrealistic in my expectations or I'm cheating myself by not moving on. Should I wait it out? I don't want to ruin a good thing, but also don't want to limit my own happiness ... or his."
