My boyfriend and I have been together for four years. We have been a very happy couple. We love the companionship and we get along really well. Everything was perfect until we both found jobs in the same area and decided to move in together. Our relationship was still strong, but I have been feeling like I need space. Space to be alone. I told him how I felt. Without a doubt, he was hurt, but he packed his stuff and left. Now I feel like I made a mistake and I’m missing him so much.

AFFAIRS used to sound the death-knell to an otherwise stable marriage—especially if it was the wife that was the culprit. Kelechi met her husband, Sunny, over 20 years ago at the university and they eventually fell in love.

I have been having a lot of trouble with my husband. It’s not necessarily trouble, but I’ve been unhappy for a long time. Lately, nothing seems good between us anymore. He doesn’t want to do anything. Our anniversary came and went without a card. So did Mother’s Day and my birthday. We haven’t exchanged a hug or a kiss in I don’t know how long, and sex between us doesn’t even exist. What am I going to do? Please help.

I don’t know what I did wrong. My girlfriend of one and a half years broke up with me out of the blues. We never fought or argued. I asked her why, she said “I don’t know.” I asked her what did I do wrong and she said “nothing.” She was my first ever girlfriend and I was planning to ask her to marry me. I don’t understand what I did wrong. There has to be a reason. Why won’t she tell me?

Does your man behave like a bull in the China shop from time to time? Don’t let his temper faze you more than necessary. “Men are conditioned to express anger,” explains American psychologist, Steven Stosny, “hence your man’s proclivity to punch the computer when it crashes or fling the clicker when it won’t work (before checking the batteries).” So how do you deal with your man’s incredible hulk habits?
