Dear Madame,

I think my English girlfriend has a secret crush on her French girlfriend’s husband. Every time she talks about him she gets all goofy, and if I dare criticize anything he does or says after a dinner party, she instantly defends him.

Should I be jealous? I mean, I’ve heard about these French guys’ reputations for being charmers and seducers.

Dear Texan,

I thought you said you are a Texan. Lasso that girly of yours and remind her how much you care about her. Her affection for this guy sound innocent enough to me. There is nothing wrong with a little crush. She hasn’t made a play for him and she is still with you. Stop the jealousy and take care of your woman man.

Dear Madame,

One minute the man I’m dating tells me he hates me and never wants to see me again, and the next minute he’s telling me he loves me and can’t dare live without me. WTF? He’s French and I know they can be moody, but good grief.

Dear Shocked,

Head for the hills girl. Leave this guy alone. It’s clear he is not sure what he wants. The only thing that is clear is that you should not sit around waiting for him to make up his mind. French or not, if a man is really into you and wants to be with you, he will. Get out there and enjoy yourself until the right one come along.

Dear Madame,

One of my good friends just told me she’s pregnant. I’m happy for her, but also extremely jealous. I’m going to be 30 this year and I haven’t even found a husband yet. How do I cope with these insane feelings of envy and rage?

Dear Ashamed,

Me, me, me. Snap out of it and be there for your friend. You should be sharing in her joy. You are entitled to your feelings but this is not about you. Turning 30 is not the end of the world. You still have time to make your desires into reality.

Dear Madame,

My boyfriend is French and is married….well separated. The thing is, he still lives with his wife. He told me that he was moving out last month, but he’s still there and even saying it might be three more months before he can leave. I’m starting to doubt his story. How can I find out for sure if it’s really over between them?

Signed,
Not waiting forever

Dear Not Waiting,

Step away from the drama. You are waiting for someone who is not available. Even if he is separated he doesn’t seem to be trying to hard to gain his independence. He might even get back together with his wife and where does that leave you. If his story is true then maybe you shouldn’t see him until he really is free. This is not the best way to start a relationship.
