READER ASKS: "HOW DO I FIX A RELATIONSHIP THAT'S BROKEN?"

Dear Neil: I have a daughter with my on-and-off-again boyfriend of three years. On one of our off times, he got another girl pregnant, and I am struggling with that. I have tried to be supportive, but it is hard because I feel so betrayed. It is the cause of most of our fights, and he has cut me off from that part of his life---as if it has nothing to do with me. I have such conflicting feelings about this that I don't know if our relationship can survive this struggle. I would greatly appreciate some advice.

Tips For Couples In Trouble

Valentine’s Day is supposed to be romantic.  A day for lovers.  A day set aside to wine and dine, woo, seduce and celebrate the one person you’re closest to.  But reality doesn’t always work as smoothly as it’s supposed to, and sometimes couples have nasty arguments, blow-out fights, withdraw from each other, withhold sex and/or affection, threaten to leave, have affairs (of the heart or the body), speak hateful words and can act insensitive, mistrusting, rejecting, self-centered or cold-hearted.

What Happened to My Marriage?

Dear Neil:  Please help me understand what happened to my marriage.  In the beginning of our relationship, we were so close with each other:  we spent huge amount of time talking, going to movies and new restaurants, traveling, sharing hopes and dreams, romancing each other, continually making love.  We were always affectionate—touching each other, holding hands, cuddling—and it was easy to let go of whatever grievances, annoyances, irritations or differences we had with each other.
