I have been married almost 30 years. Like in most marriages, my husband and I have weathered a lot of storms. I like to think that this made our bond strong. My problem with my husband started about five years ago after I saw in his cell phone several inappropriate text exchanges. He does not see anything wrong with having these women as his “text buddies,” since infidelity does not apply here.
My boyfriend and I, who were college sweethearts, broke up last month after five and a half years together. We’re in our mid-20s, and though we never made any concrete plans, we’ve talked about settling down. Being both the eldest in our families, we agreed to help them out before settling down.
My best friend and her husband are residents abroad, but divorced three years ago after they found out they got married for the wrong reasons. They were both on the rebound and thought that a few laughs were good enough for them to forget their individual pasts.
I have been married for 25 years to a man who is responsible, kind, a homebody and God-fearing. A month ago, I discovered accidentally that his ex-girlfriend in high school and college, who is also married now and live thousands of miles away, sent him a message in Facebook to be his friend. Being a gentleman, my husband accepted her invitation and they became friends. From then on, they kept exchanging messages. I was able to read them without my husband’s knowledge. The messages contain just updates on their lives the past 30 years—no hanky-panky except phrases from the girl like “take care of yourself,” “be safe when you travel.”
In line with a self-imposed observance of austerity these days, we’ve been avoiding keeping the driver beyond 8 p.m., and tonight was austerity night. For the last trip, Vergel would be dropped at the Peninsula for the launch, from 6 p.m., of the book “Juan Ponce Enrile: A Memoir.”
I am a 24-year-old guy, and have been single for a while. I liked a few girls before but never really pushed through with any of them. Recently, I met a guy and we became friends. Before I knew it, I was in love with him. I can say for certain he’s 100-percent straight, but as for me, I’m confused. I’ve already confirmed that I have no problem being gay, but I also have that same urge with women! Maybe I’m bisexual?
I am in a long-distance relationship with my boyfriend who is working abroad. I’m also soon going out of the country to work. We are unsure when we will be seeing each other again.
I am 32 years old and have always been unsuccessful with relationships. My problem is that I always fall for younger girls who have to be pampered and whose every whim catered to. Then, my work prevents me from spending time with the girl I am in a relationship with, and this always leads to our inevitable breakup.
I was 52 when I went out on a blind date with a widower. I’ve never been married, but I lived with a divorced man for 14 years, who left me for a younger single mother. I am living off my parents’ properties, but my friends thought it was about time I got married and got me together with this guy, whose wife died over 10 years ago. He’s a wealthy businessman with three grown children.
I’ve been married 35 years to a bore. I am no beauty, but I always made people laugh and am friendly to everyone I meet.
