I catered to their every need. Now I have an incredible man in my life, and they hate him. I want to be free of the constant complaints, "You don't spend enough time with me." I want my life back.

He has new pictures and says he's ready to settle down and that he wants a long-term relationship. His description of the type of woman he's looking for sounds a lot like me.

I thought we did everything right. We went to the courthouse and got a license. After the ceremony, the rabbi gave me the pink copy of the license. He also told me that he was going to file his copy at the courthouse in the next few days.

Often I just want to continue the conversation, maybe over a glass of wine. For some reason, men think I'm inviting them in for sex. It ends up being awkward and embarrassing. How can I make it clear that's not the case without alienating him?

I meet men all the time. We communicate on the phone and have a great conversation. Then I meet them for dinner, we have great communication and they don't want to leave. We discuss many subjects and find common interests and values.
