Q: GBFF. Q:my dad left my mom when she was pregnant with me. I'm 23 now and the issues are getting into my own relationship (I'm engaged): I'm terrified of being left over anything and cry uncontrollably when we argue. How do I keep my mom's fate from affecting me as much (without therapy) and how do I keep my Mr. Right?

A: What's wrong with therapy? I think that nearly everybody could stand to "sit on the couch" for a while to hash out issue...

Q: My husband refuses to wear his wedding ring, except to work or if he's out with me. When he goes jogging/to the gym or on errands weekends he leaves it home.

Q: What is your opinion on hyphenated last names, women keeping their last names after marriage, or a man even taking on his wife's last name? My sister and I talked about it before she got married recently and she was outraged that I'm considering just keeping mine if I tie the knot.
