Steve and Mia: Drunk, she woke up in guy-pal's bed

Q: I recently went out to a bar and drank way too much. My girlfriends did not want to babysit me, so they called one of my good guy-friends to come get me. I have known him for years and trusted him completely. I woke up naked in his bed the following day. When I asked him what happened, he said that I was all over him and wanted sex really bad. I have had one-night stands, but let's just say that I am not attracted to him at all. Now I don't know what to do. My girlfriends said that I could barely walk when I left. I don't see how I could have been well enough for sex. On the other hand, I feel extremely guilty for thinking such a negative thing about a friend. Should I just try to forget about this and move on?

Steve: I hate when that happens. Your friends did you no favors by handing you off to this guy. And his line about you wanting sex when you could barely walk is total BS. He's not such a hot friend either. Moving on is a good idea, but don't forget this incident because if you do, it might happen again. And that's a bad idea.

Mia: Steve's right. Your so-called friend doesn't sound very nice. A nice guy wouldn't hook up with a woman too drunk to give her consent. A nice guy would wait until the woman had sobered up and made sure she was in her right mind before having sexual intercourse with her.

Your "friend" took advantage of your inebriated state and now is all but blaming you for what happened. Yeah, you're partly to blame, but he's guilty, too.

But your next move really should be about protecting yourself. Get to your doctor immediately. That "nice guy" may have impregnated you or infected you with a venereal disease.

Q: My nephew was murdered in August, my husband took ill in September, and a second nephew was murdered in October. My husband needs me more than ever, but am I selfish to want some time for myself?

Mia: My condolences. Your family has been through so much. No wonder your husband needs you more than ever. But you'll burn out if you don't take time to care for yourself as well.

While this probably isn't the best time to go running off to the islands, maybe you can squeeze in an hour each day to work out or slip away to a quiet place where you can read or meditate. It may seem that you're being selfish, but you're really

fueling yourself to get through what you have to do. Good luck to you.

Steve: No, you're not selfish. Your mental health comes first. You can't be much help to your husband if you've had an emotional collapse. Explain this to him and make sure he knows how you will make time just for him as well. Marriage is about balancing your needs and his needs, and sometimes it gets pretty tricky.

Another case of a woman refusing to take responsibility for her own actions. If you really want to blame someone besides yourself how about your friends? Some friends they are. I thought friends were supposed to stick together and look out for each other. They tossed you as soon as your well being hindered with their party.

not the friends' fault at all. her friends left her in the care of another friend who she admits she trusted. this is simply a case of a immature girl who acted irresponsibly and wants to blame others. one day she will grow up and hopefully it will be before she beds another person while drunk....while we are on the grow up subject i will offer a bit more advice. stop having these plutonic relationships with guys. not everyone of them but most guys are close friends with hot girls because they want to hit it. proof of this is that if you both had the same non-sexual feelings for each other, he wouldnt have slept with you even if you wanted to. he wanted it that night and every night since you have known him. those guys arent going with hot girls to the mall and shoe stores because they enjoy it. wake up, grow up

Platonic. As in Plato. And it's rape, as in rape rape.

Hey birdswinbaby (NOT) - never heard of a "plutonic" relationship before...is that a relationship on Pluto? It's "platonic", stupid. Oh, how about proper case & punctuation? Just one more who watched too much Archie Bunker & didn't pay attention in school...

LW#1: Nothing says that the writer is a woman. Everyone is assuming it is. They may have seen a name or signature. We don't. Could be a dude, which would REALLY change the story, and make it so much more interesting.

I think the young lady has issues that require more than asking what Steve and Mia think. She seems to be a brick or 2 shy of a load in the judgment department.

All 3 parties are to blame here. Superturtle is right on the money. Her "freinds" ditched her when she started slowing them down instead of one of these "friends" maybe sacrificing the rest of the evening and taking care of her themselves. The guy is a low down rapist. Sorry to all you nuckle-dragging cavemen that cant get girls and are bitter towards women so therefore they all get what they deserve in your minds. Its rape plain and simple. How pathetic do you have to be to do a woman who can barely function. What a guy. lets see...friends for years...she's never come on to you before.....she's so wasted she cant walk....and now all of a sudden she wants you?? How convenient. I hope her snoring as she was passed out didnt ruin the mood for him...

It was rape. Just would be hard to possible prove. A young woman should never get "too" drunk that she is not aware of her surroundings or situations. That's not cute at all...just plain stupid. Better be glad that it was a friend that had sex with you and you are able to write a letter about it.

that's rape. it's not the woman's fault at all. and if you think so, just put a man in her place: would it be OK for a gay man to take advantage of a straight male friend who was drunk?
