Dear Prudence: I’m a vegan and my boyfriend’s family tried to starve me to death. How do I stop myself from feeling like I’m being squeezed out of my own relationships?

A vegan friend invited her boyfriend to a family summer gathering and his family raided her food.

The kids ate her food, and it was a big joke to everyone.

Her boyfriend told her she was overreacting and it wasn't like she'd starve out there, she said.

Do you know five people of any age who are in happy relationships, or even single people who have good self-confidence?.

Dear Prudence : For years , I was adamantly childfree.

I realized I was bisexual and realized that I want to be a mom with my fiancée.

She knew my feelings about children from the beginning of our relationship.

How can she explain this to her family without coming off as rude or confirming their biases?.

The advice I always give to straight men is that it’s weird and a little creepy to be friends with someone who you actually want more from.

Best case scenario: She returns your feelings, and you two live happily ever after.
