Q: My new wife told me only two weeks before our wedding that she had an affair during her first marriage. I was shocked but, because I love her, we still got married. Now, I can’t move past it. I feel she is not being honest about her current connection with her affair partner. She […]
Q: Simply put, I am jealous of my boyfriend’s previous relationships. I am a 19-year-old female student and my boyfriend is 28.
