Q: Before I was married, all of my friends were male. I don’t know – I just connect with the better. That is how my husband and I met. Now that we are married, he has an issue with my guy friends. His point of view – as long as he doesn’t know they exist, I can have them in my life. That just doesn’t seem right to me. I try to honor him by making sure all my friends are female but I don’t know if he is in the wrong telling me to hide it or if I should be ashamed for considering male friends?
Q: Dear Allana, I am sure you are asked this question a lot but as a man, women are the toughest creatures to figure out! I feel on one hand, a woman wants a man that takes charge (knight in shining armor) but on the other hand, she wants a man who is sensitive to her needs, caring, and emotionally available. How do I find a balance between being her Noble Prince Charming and her best friend?
Q: I can not figure out the perfect combination! How can I build the basis of a relationship with a woman without falling into the friend zone?
Q: What my husband did to me is beyond forgettable. He publicly humiliated me in front of our family and friends. A week later, he is asking for forgiveness and to come home. I can’t! I just can’t! What should I do?
Q: Allana, my wife is incredible. She does so much for our family that I would love to do something for her. Unfortunately, I can’t pry her away from the kids long enough to spend an intimate, relaxing day out by herself. How can I convince her that she needs to take care of herself?
Q: How do I truly separate myself from my past and move forward? I have met someone that is incredible but I don’t feel like I completely healed from the destruction that was my last relationship.
