Q: WA I need you desperately! My bf (2years) and I live together and split expenses. The problem is his mom always asks for $100 here $200 there!! He gives it to her and then I end up forking more money into our bills. His reason is always "That's my mom." Instead of saying I don't have it. What's a girl to do?

A: No, I don't think that's wrong. Consciously or not, we all approach relationships with our own particular needs and bias...

Q: My husband spent thousands of dollars over several months going to strip clubs. He says he didn't do anything but throw the money on the stage at the girls. No lap dances or VIP rooms. What do you think?

Q: My fiancé asked me to sign a pre-nup. How do I tell him that I don’t care about the money factor but am just really hurt that he is already thinking that that maybe our marriage will fail? Does the fact that he wants me to sign it mean that he doesn’t love me?

A: It doesn't have to mean that. You think it symbolizes that he doesn't love you, but what if it's the other way around? M...
