Dear Lizzie, I work with a woman, and we have somewhat of a past. We hooked up a couple times outside of work, but we never got serious. I thought we mutually ended the affair. Recently, she has been sexually harassing me at work. It is often very subtle, and no other co-workers know about what happened. Most of the time I am uncomfortable with it all. I have told her to knock it off, but she must think I’m not serious about it. Even outside of work, she continues to do this stuff. The last thing I want to do is file a sexual harassment case and make the whole thing public. What should I do…

Dear Lizzie, I am a 14 year-old female. I think that I might be a lesbian. I don't know if I'm a lesbian or I'm bisexual. I don't even know if this is just a phase that I'm going through. I have liked boys, but I have also liked more girls then boys. I've told a few of my friends that I'm bisexual. They seemed OK about it. What I'm worried about is going into high school and me being the only one who's a lesbian or gay. I don't want to stay in the closet forever. I want to be able to tell my family that I'm gay or that I have a girlfriend.  I don't know what to do please help me!!  - Worried…

Dear Lizzie, Single mom here. It’s not easy, but I enjoy my life. What I’m not enjoying is the rebellion of my daughter. She is 17 and a junior in high school. All I have is her and my son, who is 5. Her father is never around, and I have to raise her by myself. We try to get along, but it is hard. We go out together and have “Girls Night,” and for a while, it’s great. But it goes back to the same routine. She is good in school, but I don’t know much about her social life. I wish I did. What can I do to make our relationship better? —Worried Mom, Lansdale   Dear Worried, Every mother and …

Dear Lizzie, My husband and I have been married for 10 years, and we have a 3-year-old son. We are getting a divorce after months of counseling and remediation. This is what we have decided to do, as it is the best thing for us. We are scared, however, that it may not be the best thing for our son. We are struggling with finding a way that the divorce will not affect our relationship with him. He is too young to understand, and we don’t want our decision to affect him in the future. What do you suggest? – Breaking Up and Broken Down, Hatboro Dear Breaking Up, A decision is never bulletproof, …

Dear Lizzie, I am 29 and I live by myself in an apartment building. There’s a married woman that frequents the bar I go to often. We flirt whenever we are out. She doesn’t live in the area; she has a girlfriend that does live around my area, and they have a “Girls Night Out.” That is how we met. This woman has a young daughter, and her husband works during the day. She is gorgeous, and I love being around her. I don’t think her husband has any idea of our flirtations, but she told me she would cheat on her husband. This is very tempting. What do you think? – Lucky Man, Upper Dublin Dear Lucky…

Dear Lizzie, I recently had a fight with my parents, and it has to do with Facebook. I am 28 years old, and I live on my own. Last week, I went out with a group of friends to celebrate a new job. A lot of pictures were taken that night. There was nothing inappropriate, but sometimes you can get a little wacky when you’re with friends and having a good time. My parents are friends with me on Facebook and saw the pictures posted from that evening. They proceeded to berate me, insult me and make me feel so bad and sick to my stomach. I’m an adult and I shouldn’t be treated this way. Pictures of …

Dear Lizzie, I have a husband that loves video games. The problem is, we also have three children who are starting to love them too—too much. My husband works from home often, and nearly every time I come home from work, he is in front of the TV playing PS3. Sometimes, our sons or daughter are there, either playing along or watching him. Recently, one of our sons, an elementary student, brought home a poor report card. Our daughter, I think, is starting to have comprehension and reading troubles. Then, there’s our “alone time.” It’s great here and there, but as of recent, I’ve been going to …

Dear Lizzie, My boyfriend has a friend from college who continually asks him to help him out when it comes to passing his work drug test. My boyfriend has to pee for him. (I don’t know the specifics on how this is done). I know this cannot be legal. I want to tell my boyfriend, as nice of a guy that he is, that I do NOT think he should be doing this for his “friend.” Your thoughts? Are there any potential legal issues my boyfriend could face? – PEE O’D, Lansdale Dear P.O’D, My first bit of advice is to tell this “friend” to stop doing drugs or smoking marijuana and pee in his own cup. Your …

Dear Lizzie, I have been dating and living with a man for several years now. In the beginning he was sweet, charming and fun to be around. Lately, things have been different. He hardly works, and when he does he complains about how much he hates going (or he works less than full time). He never helps out around the house and he makes me do all the cooking, cleaning and laundry. I have asked him to help out, but it is short lived. I'm actually not to sure what he does all day while I'm at work. I have tried not doing it to see if he would eventually do it, but the house ended up filthy and it …

Dear Lizzie, Everyone says we are coming out of a recession, but tell that to my sister and family. My sister recently lost her job, and it couldn’t have come at a worse time for her. She is also facing a divorce, but luckily there will be no custody battle with her kids. However, with the job and divorce, she has leaned on me to help her out. Lizzie, she wants to move into my house along with her two kids. I’m not sure if it is a good idea, and I don’t want her to take advantage of the situation. Yet, she is family. What do I do? – SISTER SAVIOR, Ft. Washington. Dear SISTER … The bottom line…

Dear Lizzie, My best friend Stephanie and I have known each other more than 15 years. For the past two years, she has been dating this guy and it’s getting pretty serious. She is the happiest she’s ever been and she tells me all the time how he’s changed her life for the better. It’s true because I see it. Recently, I came to discover that her boyfriend is cheating on her with another woman. An older woman to be exact. While I haven’t told her yet, I feel awful that this is going on behind her back and I’m basically the only one that knows. I feel it’s my duty as her best friend to tell her. …

Dear Lizzie, I am a 40-year-old woman, mother and grandmother. I have two grown children and a grandchild. The man I have been seeing for nearly four years now wants me to marry him, but I am torn. I don’t want to say no to him, but I’m also not prepared to say yes. The thing is he has a 3-year-old daughter and a 16-year-old son. I am done raising my children, and raising his children is the only thing I’m worried about. I don’t know what to do in this situation.  – Mother The Helper, Philadelphia Dear Mother, Before you say OK, and before he pops the question, you need to have a conversation…

Dear Lizzie, I will have been married to my husband for 21 years this March. We have never had any major problems in our marriage. We have raised three children and have not become grandparents – yet. For the past two years, my husband has taken on new tasks in his job. It requires him to travel extensively for business contacts, but he is never gone too long from home. Within the past year or so, we have become distant. He often visits the same cities every couple months and when he is home I can tell that things are different. We both love each other, but I can’t help to wonder that maybe …

Dear Lizzie, I have been with my boyfriend for nearly three years. We live together and pay bills together and everything is great. We even get along so great and I know he is the one I want to be with for the rest of my life. I want to marry him, but he’s said nothing about getting engaged. I don’t want to be the girl that leaves hints or pictures around the apartment, like on the refrigerator. I think that seems desperate. Can you help me find a way to let him know? – Wish to be a Wife, Lansdale  Dear Wife, This is a tricky situation.  You don’t want to wait forever for something that’s not…

Dear Lizzie, I have been dating a man for about six months. I met him through a mutual friend. I am new to the area and only have a few close friends. Here is the problem – he had a long relationship for about two years before I came into the picture. The relationship ended over a year ago and there are still problems between them. I didn't think there would be a problem because my boyfriend lives in New Jersey and isn't around for many functions. He's moving back to the area and I am concerned about his ex's jealousy. Over the holidays we had a few get-togethers and his ex was very jealous …

Dear Lizzie, I dated a girl back in college, and at the time, I cheated on her with her best friend. We broke up and I haven't seen her since. She got married and I've always thought of her in the back of my mind. Recently, now in our 30s, she contacted me out of the blue. She told me she's getting a divorce and she wants to be with me. There's another girl I've met and I like spending time with her. I'm just torn on what to do. What do you suggest? Should I get back with my ex-girlfriend from a decade ago or write her off and keep things going with my current relationship? – Second Chance?, …
