Dear Antie: I plan to break up with my boyfriend but I don’t want to let him know until I delete all our photos together from his phone. Am I mean to delete all our photos from his phone? I never wanted to take pictures with him in the first place.
Antie Answers: This is not legal. It’s not your “right” to go through his phone or delete stuff off his phone which is his private property. Now TBH I get it if any of them are nudes or semi nudes but just selfies with the two of you, its nothing.
Dear Auntie: I have been with my partner for 171/2 years. Just recently he has become secretive. He deletes things off his cell phone, and goes to a different room when he talks. Could he be cheating or hiding something?
Auntie Replies: After 17+ years together you should be comfortable enough to ASK what the heck is going on. Sure you can have a relaxing dinner but you guys have been together longer than the average marriage. Ask him straight up.
Dear Auntie: Hi. I’m a 36-year-old guy living in a traditional society. Physically speaking, my interest in women is almost non-existent, as have been scarce my sexual experiences with them. Until two or three years ago, I used to go on many dates with girls.
Auntie Replies: Then you can come clean and just tell your parents. Eventually you’ll have no choice. You live in Europe, so your parents will be upset; but you don’t have the threats people face in other countries. Like I said, I think they already know.
Dear Auntie: I am in my 30s. First I want to start by saying that setting boundaries in relationships has always been confusing for me. Some background info on my gradual relationship with my sister. She’s always gotten mad at her boyfriends for being friendly with me.
Auntie Replies: It says you are in your 30s, yet the way your boyfriend and sister are acting seems like they are in their teens! Too much drama and immaturity in all of your lives! I would distance myself from all of this and most certainly break up with this.
Dear Auntie: My ex of one year got a job opportunity in France a few months back and we decided to end it due to the distance. She wants to see me before she leaves but I don’t know if that is a good idea as I’m trying to move on and it may spark old feelings.
Auntie Replies: If you want to meet up to say good-bye then I agree about meeting in a public place for tea or lunch or something. It’s easier to keep your feelings in check when you’re in public. If you’ve gotten over a lot of that pain.
Dear Auntie: My girlfriend is friends with a lesbian. I’m starting to get worried. Am I overreacting? They’ve become really close. They’ve been spending a lot of time together. Sometimes, she goes for a girls night out with her friends including her lesbian friend. What should I do?
Auntie Replies: Just because her friend is a lesbian and your girlfriend a female doesn’t mean that the friend will “automatically” hit on your girlfriend or feel a sexual attraction to her. And if your girlfriend isn’t bi-sexual, then what’s the problem?
Dear Auntie: He blocked me on Instagram and lied to me about it saying his app had a problem. Yes I believed it. I have another account on Instagram for makeup and fashion posts.
Auntie Replies: It’s stupid behaviour on his part. Move on, you deserve so much better than this lying manipulative guy.
Dear Auntie: I met my girlfriend online 7 months ago and we have been living together for the past 4 months. We used to talk on the phone everyday for the first 3 months. She came here from a different country to visit me and hasn’t been back to her country . . .
Auntie Replies: Communication is key! Tell her how you feel, ask her why she treats you like she does? Maybe it’s also the initial being on cloud nine.
Dear Auntie: My boyfriend of a year and 8 months drunkenly text a girl whom he used to see sexually before we started dating. I feel like I have a right to go through his phone now but at the same time I don’t.
Auntie Replies: NO. . . you don’t have a right to go through anyone’s phone without permission. If you have a problem and think your boyfriend is cheating; you discuss it and decide whether you want your relationship to end.
