Category: Ask Anna

Dear Anna, before moving in, we used to have sex several times a week, but now it’s once a week, or maybe twice if it’s, like, a special occasion.

Dear Anna, I love her deeply, but I’ve noticed that she’s always on her phone — whether we’re watching TV, having dinner or just hanging out in bed.

In a healthy marriage, both partners work together to ensure the other feels loved, respected and secure, writes Anna. That’s not too much to ask.

Dear Anna, my boyfriend made a comment that’s really stuck with me. He mentioned that he doesn’t find my work-from-home outfits “attractive.” It caught me off guard and, to be honest, it’s made me feel a little insecure.

Dear Anna, I know I shouldn’t have let that kiss happen. It was dumb and I was caught off guard. I’ve been cheated on in the past, and I don’t want to go down that road.

Dear Anna,
Since I was a child, I’ve struggled to distinguish between strong admiration and romantic crushes.

Dear Anna, My boyfriend (26M) is still friends with a woman (25F) he had feelings for a few years ago.

Dear Anna, I want to be there for him and support him through this, but I’m finding it increasingly difficult to balance my own emotional needs and well-being.

Here’s my dilemma: My friends misgender me and occasionally make homophobic jokes and comments, usually in a playful manner directed at each other. I’m afraid to speak up about this, out of fear they’ll reject me and I’ll be left without any friends at all.

Dear Anna, my family is pretty open-minded, and I think they will accept me, but I’m still nervous about their reactions.
