Dear CMR, 

My spouse has a co-worker that is overly friendly and it is creating fears, doubts and insecurities in me. I feel my spouse is not seeing the possible danger, and is even off-putting to my concerns. I fear there are unhealthy boundaries and just worry about a “slip-up,” or that they are missing the beginning of an emotional affair. Any help would be great.

Trying To Be Financially Wise

Dear CMR,

I've been getting to know a guy for the last few months and I have done my best to show him I am interested in dating. Why hasn't he asked me out yet? Am I doing something wrong?

Interested In Him

Dear CMR,

I recently started considering online dating but it feels intimidating. Can you give me any advice that will make it easier to find a person worth getting to know?

Signed, New To This

Dear CMR,

I am single.  Some of my dating friends recently told me that when I meet “the right person,” I'll just know they are right for me. I've heard that advice before, but is it true?

"Dear CMR,

As a working mom and wife, I find it hard to balance time with my kids, my husband, and all of the things on my plate. How should I prioritize my time?"

"Dear CMR,

I am recently out of an eight-month relationship, and it didn't end very well. I find myself making myself busy just so that I don't have to think about it all. I know that isn't healthy. Can you give me some tips on how to take care of myself and slow down to process this change?
