Who, Why and How?
QUESTION — My husband and I got into a really big argument recently. He said he feels like I put everything before him — my job, my mom, my friends and THE KIDS! I never thought a man could have a problem with his children coming first. What’s the deal?
ANSWER — He may not have said it the best way, but as a man who speaks his language, sounds to me like he misses you, and that’s a good thing.

QUESTION: I cut AND colored my hair, and my boyfriend hasn’t said a thing. It’s been a week. Why hasn’t he noticed? Does he not like it?
Hard to Handle
Q: I’ve been dating the same man for two years, but he still hasn’t asked me to marry him. Should I give him the ultimatum? Why or why not?
A: The worst thing that you can do is give a man an ultimatum. An ultimatum, to a man, is no more than an advanced look at your ability to resolve conflict and issues within your relationship. Our next question becomes, “What will she do the next time that we disagree or that she doesn’t get her way?”

In the “advice on men” category, we decided to go straight to the source. Each month, a different “expert” (translated: a plain-old, local, everyday, run-of-the-mill guy) will respond to reader questions. This is not intended to replace your girlfriend’s/mother’s/any-other-female’s advice, but is merely a point of reference from the male species.
Q: I have put on 10 pounds in the last three months, and my boyfriend doesn’t seem attracted to me. Is it because he thinks I’m fat?
