I counseled a 75-year-old married, bi-sexual man who was having a gay affair and was not having sex with his wife to continue his secret life because that seemed like the kindest thing to do. But a young woman embarking on married life, hoping to start a family with her husband, needs to at least know he's already living a double life.

Anyone who marries gets no guarantee that their partner, no matter what they vow, will always keep that promise.

There are some people who do not have a wild past because being wild would make them terribly self-conscious and uncomfortable.

I agree that not responding, and blocking his email, is the way to deal with the man you hope falls silent again.

Never loan money to friends or family that you are not able to write off entirely.

When you're dealing with an in-law violation, I think the first line of defense is for the blood relation to have a serious talk.
