My boyfriend recently bought a new double-breasted suit and maintains they are coming back into fashion. I think he looks like a third-rate host in a second-rate restaurant. How can I tell him he doesn’t look as good as he thinks?

answer:
Gently. One of the reasons men go for double-breasted jackets is that salesmen believe they disguise a belly better than single-breasted coats. In other words, his style hypothesis may simply be a smokescreen. I think a gift is in order here so head to a menswear shop and ask them to recommend a one-button style for your man’s build in a dark color he can throw over jeans. Then compliment him mercilessly whenever he dons it. Flattery will win out every time.

I recently decided to treat myself to a weekly session with a personal trainer to keep motivated. Problem is, I think I’ve fallen in love with him. We get along brilliantly, he takes an interest in me and I feel fantastic when I’m with him. He’s never crossed the line but I really wish he would. Would it be out of line for me to ask him out for a drink?

answer:
I wouldn’t if I were you and here’s why. For a start, I don’t believe you’ve fallen in love with a man you’ve had several 40-minute sessions with. Considering he’s probably buffed and bronzed, I’d say it’s more a case of lust. As for getting along brilliantly and his taking an interest in you, that’s what he’s paid and trained to do. Finally, surely a part of that fantastic feeling can be attributed to all those endorphins running through your system. Once you ask him out and he refuses — possibly because you’ve misread the situation or that accepting could get him fired — your training sessions will be forever awkward.

I have started dating a sweet guy who was introduced to me by a mutual friend. Although he’s lovely, considerate and gentlemanly, some of his example, he thinks roses aren’t roses without baby’s breath. There have also been fluffy teddy bears covered with hearts. Which would be fine if we were 16. But both of us are approaching 30 and it feels a bit juvenile. Should I say anything?

answer:
No, I will. You’re being a stuck-up snob who’s poised to reject an otherwise generous chap on the grounds that his floral taste isn’t cutting-edge. So what if he buys you teddy bears? Plenty of single women would gladly swap places with you in a heartbeat. Get out of this judgmental space before you lose out on something substantial. It sounds as if he has the raw material to make a top partner. Besides, you can probably develop his sense of style with some coaching.

I am constantly being told that men are intrigued by women with a sense of humor or those who can tell a great joke. Problem is, I’m not very good at either. Can you give me a surefire line I can use on dates or parties that will gain men’s attention?

answer:
The key here is to steer away from controversial topics like politics, religion, even sex, and to find universal themes. One of these is family, especially dads who weren’t exactly generous with pocket money — we’ve all had one of those. So the line goes: “My dad was so cheap that I once said to him, ‘Can I have $50?’ He replied, ‘$40? What do you want $30 for?’” Cue laughter.

I think I’m in a relationship dilemma. I’ve been with my boyfriend for three years now. He’s a really cool guy. A geek, but a cute geek. Anyway, for the past three months, I’ve been having this nagging feeling that I want to date other guys. My boyfriend’s terrific, but I just don’t feel excited by him anymore. I think we’re way too comfortable with each other. Problem is, what if I am making a mistake? I know he won’t take me back if I decide to split from him now. And I know this sounds crazy but I really adore his family. For some reason, I get along really well with his mum and sister. If we split, I wouldn’t be able to visit with them anymore or have Saturday night dinners with them. What would you do if you were in my place?

answer:
This is a tricky one. This could be a typical, the-grass-is-always-greener moment. At some point in a relationship, we all long for the single life again, especially if the relationship has gotten a bit too cosy and habitual. This is about you and him — forget his family, forget other guys that may or may not be out there for you. Focus on the two of you. If you really love him, the answer is to make this relationship work. You can work harder to spice things up and stop taking each other for granted. However, if you are really unhappy with him and you can’t see a solution, breaking up might be for the best. But only you can answer that question. And honey, remember, the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.

An abortion is a way of ending an unwanted pregnancy, either through using medicines (drugs) or a surgical procedure.

In Great Britain, the law allows a woman to obtain an abortion up to 24 weeks of pregnancy if two doctors agree that it would cause less damage to her physical or mental health than continuing the pregnancy. There are more restrictions in Northern Ireland.

If you think you want an abortion you should see your GP, practice nurse or family planning clinic. They can refer you to an NHS or an independent abortion service, as you wish. If you prefer, you can contact an independent service directly.

You have a right to confidentiality if you are seeking an abortion. Your GP, parents or partner do not have to be informed, even if you are under 16.

You should not have to wait more than 3 weeks from your first referral to the time of your abortion.

The earlier in your pregnancy you have an abortion, the safer it is.

You should ideally be offered a choice of different methods, depending on how long you have been pregnant.

You should start using contraception again immediately after your abortion. You should be offered the method of your choice.

Is all lasting marriage late in life like this? Having to continuously put the toilet seat down, place the new toilet paper on the spindle, stretch the damp wet towels out so they will dried out? Lift the lid to the laundry basket to place the dirty clothes inside of it instead of on it. Picking up dishes that never seem to make it to the sink, straightening and picking up the pillows that go on the furniture. Throwing away the hair clump that is always left on the bathroom counter instead of in the wastebasket. Pulling up the comforter half off into the floor and back up onto the bed where it belongs, picking up unclean socks and walking them to the clothes basket, untwisting the pillowcases around the bed pillows so they will lay flat on the bed, hanging up clean clothes so they look clean when they are put back on, turning off every light in the house after someone leaves the room and leaves them on, this includes multiple Television Sets! Do other normal people live this way?

Answer:
If you think like I do if you really love him you would be able to deal with it. And if not just ask him nicely and tell him that you don’t likes picking up after him all the time. And if he loves you then he will understand.

I suggest all of you sit down with your partner and talk about this. Maybe have set things each of you should do at a certain time of the week together so no one is neglected. Ask them how they would feel if they were constantly picking up after you! I did this when I lived with my ex and we both did chores at the same time on the same day every week.
