AGONY
I slept with my best friend’s boyfriend when she was away in the States. We were both drunk at the time and to be honest I can’t remember much about it. We agreed we wouldn’t tell her but I haven’t been able to face her since. Should I tell her the truth? I don’t want to lose her friendship.

Lesley Crombie has a change of heart...
I was brought up in a family that actively loathed animals – all animals – without prejudice: two legs, four legs, no legs. And any human who willing possessed a pet that didn’t have wings or fins was deemed asylum material.

My partner and I have been together for twelve years and
have twin daughters aged six. Since their birth our relationship has
deteriorated to the extent that we now sleep in separate rooms and lead
virtually separate lives.
I still want us to stay together even though we spend much of the time screaming at each other.
I was brought up by a single parent
and desperately want my kids to experience normal family life. We've seen a
couples' counsellor but my partner's still adamant he wants a separation. Any
suggestions as to where we should go from here?

I could think of no good reason why I shouldn’t like Dwayne.

Tolle suffered from debilitating anxiety and depression for many years until one day he decided he could no longer live with himself. Then he had the sudden realisation that if he couldn’t live with himself there must be two of him. This realisation launched him on a profound journey in which he discovered his other ‘eternal’ self. It’s uplifting stuff without being too new-agey.

AGONY
I love my boyfriend but I can’t see there being any future for us because he can’t stop looking at porn on the internet. It makes me feel sick, angry and totally inadequate. He says he loves me and fancies me but if this is true why does he need to spend hours drooling over women with fake tans and breast implants? If he knows it hurts me so much why can’t he just stop?
