5 things to remember when you’re dating someone exclusively.
Ask Wendy: Dating, Sex & Relationship Advice for the Bold
Hey Wendy,
I’ve been dating a guy for two years. We get along great — intellectually, sexually, humor-wise, etc.
We were long-distance as he worked in another state. We talked or texted every day. We saw each other about every 6 weeks.
We never said, “I love you,” and when I brought it up, he said he had trouble expressing his feelings. His actions (driving 7 hours through snow storms to see me, etc.) said he cared so I was okay…

Hey Wendy,
I’m getting divorced after 20+ years of marriage. Our kids are grown. I just found out he was cheating on me, and now he’s moving in with her. They’ve been together nine months.
While shocked, I’m completely over it and moving on. I don’t feel like there’s anything to say, and I feel free. So, my question is how long should I wait before I start dating? I’m in my forties and I’ve never been taken out…
Dealing with the mindfuck (and fallout) from the number of past lovers.
Ask Wendy: Dating, Sex & Relationship Advice for the Bold
Hey Wendy,
At the start of dating, my wife told me the number of men she’s had sex with was 3. She’s recently admitted that the real number is 40. How do I not despise her for this? She has been my best friend for a long time, but she has also lied a LOT about sexual things.

What to do when the love of your life is polyamorous and you are not
Ask Wendy: Dating, Sex & Relationship Advice for the Bold
Hey Wendy,
The love of my life is a polyamorous woman. I reluctantly accept her lifestyle with the understanding that she will involve me in her encounters somehow (watching, videos, audio, etc.)
The first attempt at this was with a former FWB. She forgot to record anything because things happened too fast. It took everything I had to be ok with this situation. The one thing I asked for she ignored.
When I confront her she starts sobbing saying she’s sorry. I don’t know what to do.

3 best practices for a happy, healthy relationship
Ask Wendy: Dating, Sex & Relationship Advice for the Bold
Hey Wendy
I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for 15 months. We have a lot going for us and we are both super attracted to one another.
He has quite a history with the ladies. He said he thinks that he slept with over 150 women, and he is 48 yrs. old.
Over time, I’ve discovered he has close to 50 ex-girlfriends and/or ex-lovers as Facebook friends. He’s close to four or five of his ex-girlfriends. …
You have the freedom to design your relationship(s) any damned way you’d like.
Hey Wendy,
When it comes to life, I’ve been there, done that: Married, kids, divorce, Burning Man, threesomes, role play, anal, public sex, etc.
I am happy and busy in my single life, but I have a very high libido. Vibrators are great, but there is no comparison to sex with the right guy.
“Traditional” relationships don’t work for me, so I would like to find a sex partner. The focus would be on taking our time to satisfy each other in a variety of ways (and sex positions). I don’t want marriage, or to live with anyone, or blend…

Hey Wendy,

Hey Wendy,
The new guy I’m dating is amazing, smart, and funny. So far, we’ve been on five dates. He talks more than me, which is fine because I love listening to him. He’s very outgoing and I’m kind of an introvert. He’s cultured and has traveled all over the world and has had adventures I couldn’t even dream of. We’re kind of opposites.
When he asks me what I’ve done, I want to tell him something more exciting than I just finished the last book in…

Hey Wendy,
I set up an online profile and I’m getting plenty of responses even though I’m a middle-aged, single mom with a five-year-old boy. I am awesome!
I’ve been corresponding with a guy with potential. Thanks to you, I recognized that I couldn’t keep him at a distance any longer by writing and texting and I’ve connected with him by phone. I’m excited and terrified to get to know him.
Here’s the problem…Five years ago, I…
