I am the mother of a 14-year-old daughter. Big family gatherings (this year at my mom's) always include my cousin and her husband. My kids call him "Uncle Charlie." Uncle Charlie has what http://www.philly.com/dailynews/columnists/steve_and_mia/20091113_Steve_and_Mia__Should_he_father_a_baby_for_his_clients_.html Q: I am a ski instructor and tennis pro. Last winter I gave a married couple ski lessons every weekend; they quickly became my best clients. The woman later began private tennis lessons with me and has subsequently filled my tennis programs with her frie http://www.philly.com/dailynews/columnists/steve_and_mia/20091030_Steve_and_Mia__Drunk__she_woke_up_in_guy-pal_s_bed.html 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 d http://www.philly.com/dailynews/columnists/steve_and_mia/20091023_Steve_and_Mia__Whose_private_part_was_in_that_photo_.html Q: I was going through a friend's cell phone when I came across a photo of a penis. I wasn't sure if it was his or someone else's. I was so surprised. What's the best way to handle a situation like this? http://www.philly.com/dailynews/columnists/steve_and_mia/20091016_Steve_and_Mia__Abusive_wife__Don_t_take_it_anymore.html Q: Is there such a thing as domestic abuse of a husband? Six times in the three years we've been married my wife has struck me. She has a terrible temper. She breaks dishes, throws them at me and hits me with her fists. I am bigger and stronger and able http://www.philly.com/dailynews/columnists/steve_and_mia/20091009_Steve_and_Mia__Should_he_kiss_and_tell_____or_just_kiss_.html Q: I'm a 39-year-old guy, happily divorced. This summer I reconnected with a very special woman whom I knew growing up. We are having a great time together. While I was divorced, I had an affair with this woman's friend (who does not live nearby). To be fair, I spoke with the woman with whom I had the affair about seeing her friend; she wanted the best for us and encouraged me to pursue her. http://www.philly.com/dailynews/columnists/steve_and_mia/20091002_Steve_and_Mia__Do_guys_tell_other_guys_about_affairs_.html Q: A good buddy of mine from college came to visit with his wife and a mutual friend we've known for a few years. We had a good time together, but after they left my wife told me that she was certain that my buddy's wife was having an affair with our other friend. She listed several things that she noticed, but I hadn't. Now she thinks I should talk with my college buddy about it. I don't want to see the guy hurt. Any ideas? http://www.philly.com/dailynews/columnists/steve_and_mia/20090925_Steve_and_Mia__She_has_a_connection_with_a_distant_cousin.html Q: I have developed a strong emotional and intimate relationship with a very distant cousin (fifth cousin).

I am afraid what my fam http://www.philly.com/dailynews/columnists/steve_and_mia/20090918_Steve_and_Mia__Does_marriage___prostitution_.html Q: The high-priced call girl who brought down New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer recently said snobby women shouldn't be judgmental about her profession, since they trade sex for things like security, a wealthy lifestyle, a career boost, etc., all the time. Do you think she's right? http://www.philly.com/dailynews/columnists/steve_and_mia/20090911_Steve_and_Mia__She_s_biting_her_tongue_over_oral_sex.html Q: I am a 50-year-old divorced woman and find this difficult to write, but I need an honest outside opinion. I have been dating a man for over three years. When we are together romantically he always asks me to please him orally, but he never returns the favor. I have not expressed my feelings because I do not want to hurt his feelings or scare him off because I do enjoy his company. I am interested in finding out if this type of sexual behavior is normal or am I being taken advantage of?
