A reader's boyfriend is looking for love in all the wrong places, including her closets. Mike advises her to do some straightening up - of her boyfriend - or to consider cleaning house. While Veronica examines " is reading your partner's email acceptable" concerning this same reader. Also, when someone in a relationship asks for romance, what should you do? Can Veronica and Mike help a reader whose wife has challenged him to understand what romance is all about? Can they help the reader to re-discover his inner-Romeo before Juliet has to spell it out for him?
Do you need some advice? Think that Veronica and Mike could help you see both sides of
your situation? If so, you may send Veronica and Mike an email here. I fear that my boyfriend has no respect for my privacy. I love him very much, but he is becoming far to nosey for my liking. I have caught him several times snooping in my closets in my house and once he was in my email account. I have confronted him about respecting my privacy. His response is, "If you have nothing to hide, you shouldn't be worried." I am not worried about what he might find but I am worried that he is not respecting my space. Also, my boyfriend and ex-husband use to be friends. Since my divorce, my boyfriend becomes jealous concerning all things having to do with my ex-husband. An example is that he becomes upset if he sees any mail with my former married name on it. It seems to be an unreasonable jealousy to me. Am I over reacting? Should I get out while the getting is good since their seems to be a lack of trust on his part? Is there a way I can reassure him that I have nothing to hide but that I want to keep some of my privacy? Recently, he asked if I would give him a copy of my keys to my house and I told him I would think about it. After careful consideration, I have decided that I would not feel comfortable with him having access to my house when I am not at home because of his nosey behavior. What can I do? Mike Says...
Veronica Says... Dear Veronica and Mike:I know that this is going to make me sound like a complete dope but... I would like to know what romance is? The reason I ask is because my wife has expressed to me that she would like us to be more "romantic". So instead of ignoring her this time, I am going to give it a try. My only problem is that I don't know how to be romantic. I asked my wife what kind of things she thought was romantic and she told me that if she told me and then I did them then it take away from the romance. Please help! What is this romance thing?
