The Advice Column
Ask the question you keep rewriting in your head.
Love. Marriage. Dating. Divorce. Sex. Friendship. Family. Betrayal. Money. Business. Solo travel. Starting over. If it is keeping you up or sitting heavy on your chest, bring it here.
You can tell me who you are, use a different name, or keep your name out of it completely. Either way, you get the honest answer, not the comfortable one.

Marriage and divorce
“I love him, but I no longer like the life we built. Is that enough reason to leave?”
Loving somebody and liking your life with him are two different conversations, and most women only have the first one out loud.

Friendship
“My friend celebrates everybody except me. Am I being sensitive, or is it time to move differently?”
You are not being sensitive. You are being observant, and you have been observing this long enough to write me about it.

Solo travel
“I want to take my first solo trip, but I'm scared something will happen. How do I stop talking myself out of it?”
You do not stop being scared. You get organized, and the fear gets smaller because it has less to hold on to.
