Hi John, what advice would you give to meet friends? I’ve never been so lonely in my life. Depression is setting in. Thank you, John, for any help you can provide.

My girlfriend and I have had a few threesomes with other women. All of my friends are jealous because she is so open-minded, but now she wants a threesome with another dude. I’m not into that. She’s bisexual. I’m not. Am I being selfish for resisting? Or is she wrong for pushing this on me?

I’m a straight girl dating a guy. Recently, he told me he wants to be pegged. I don’t want to sex shame him, and I’m open to the idea, but now I’m worried he’s gay and just in the closet. Should I encourage him to explore with other guys just to be sure? How can I know for sure he’s straight now?

I have been married to my husband for nearly 20 years now and as you might think things have gone a little stale, but that’s not why I’m writing.

I was invited to a wedding for a family member, but my mother wasn’t invited. I want to attend, but I’m afraid if my mother finds out that she will be crushed.

Almost two years ago, I loaned a friend $5,000, interest-free, who promised repayment would come from an anticipated return of a security deposit and other sources within several months.
