My Son Has Stopped Talking To Me After Our Divorce
Hi John,
I have a 17 year old son who currently lives with his father. His father and I had a very ugly divorce and we fought for custody. For the past two years, my son has refused to have any communication with me. Attorneys have said what is going on now is just parent alienation against me.
I should also say my son is ADHD and I have been reading your Starter Guide to Staying Focused In A Hyper World.
What is the best thing I can do to facilitate a relationship with my son?

Initiating sex: who's job is it really?
Dear Lauren,
Within the couple, who is supposed to initiate sex?
-Charles
Hi Charles,
Who initiates sex and Why
Both. Either. Everyone.
I’m going to answer your question more specifically but I want to make it very clear that this is not a one-size-fits-all response.
It’s in trying to make sex a one-size-fit’s-all concept that causes so much of the confusion, misunderstanding, shame and frustration between couples in the bedroom.

How to tell if online Mr. Right is actually real-life Mr. Wrong
Dear Lauren,
A guy I knew over 20 years ago started messaging me on Facebook. In 3 weeks he sent me over 450 messages, all very flirty and about how he had a big thing for me years ago. We finally planned to meet at my birthday party but he cancelled the night before saying, he definitely wanted to meet up some other time. I told him I was coming off Facebook and if he ever wanted to catch up I gave him my mobile number. That was a week ago and I haven't heard anything from him since. I...

How to Make Yourself Irresistible to Men in 3 Simple Steps
Hi Lauren. I’m single but I want to be in a relationship. How do I make a man want me?
-Allie
Hi Allie,
Great question. This is a big question on a lot of single women’s minds. Because sometimes, good ol� fashioned “be yourself� just doesn’t cut it.
Most of the time the reality of “being yourself� in front of a cute guy means clamming up and acting “cool, � which includes NOT saying hi.
He can’t fall in...

Are you a nightmare to be with and you don't even realize it?! Cuz I was.
Are you a nightmare to be with and you don’t even realize it?
Some of the greatest villians of all time have been two faced. Jekyll and Hyde. Norman Bates. Harvey Dent and Two Face.
Why are these characters so consistently compelling?
Because “evil� is surface scary - slasher-film scary - but a person you love and trust turning on you with an evil side?
That’s real drama. That’s horrifying. That’s the kind of stuff nightmares are made of.

Are you his number one priority or is someone else?
Dear Lauren,
My boyfriend and I been in a relationship for 9 months and see each other every weekend. The problem is that sometimes when we get an opportunity to get together on a weeknight he almost always has plans with the “guys� and blows me off. I feel like I’m second choice to his buddies and he doesn’t understand why I feel this way. Am I being unreasonable or is he?

Six Steps To Stop An Argument
As much as any couple may avoid fighting, the truth is, one minute you may feel great passion, and the next you’re contemplating divorce.
Many times, we think arguments occur because our partner’s behavior needs to change. Unfortunately, it’s usually not about them.
Arguing with your wife or husband is not a bad thing as long as you are not berating and hating your each other. Heated discussions can help bring issues to the surface and can encourage both parties to take ...

The myth of the honeymoon phase and why this could change EVERYTHING.
Dear Lauren,
My boyfriend and I have been dating less than a year. It’s supposed to be the honeymoon period, but I'm already starting to have issues. He’s a nice gentle guy, but sometimes he can be too easy going, and can't decide what he wants in life. I’m a bit of a control freak, and I freak out whenever he shows his happy-go-lucky side. I can already foresee we will have many problems and issues in the future with us being so opposite. Should I stay or should I...
