Dear Miri, I got married few months ago. I told my husband about my past before we got engaged; I was having affair which lasted 3yrs. I had gotten physical with that guy, and I told this truth to my husband, as I never wanted to cheat on my husband. At the time I told [...]

Regret is bad for your health. There’s a part of your brain that lights up and your hormones are elevated and not in a good way. But, as my office mate just asked me, “How the hell do you not have regret? It’s a useless emotion but, still. We all have regret…” Indeed. In [...]

There are plenty of topics I could spend my time writing about: health care, abortion rights or Santorum and Romney and the dismal race? How can I write such drivel when the world is boiling over with troubles? Trayvon, Korean school shooting or Iraqi’s itchy fingered bomb mongers. But when I sit down whatever is lurking [...]

Dear Miri: I don’t like my BFF’s new love interest. Do I tell her that I think the person seems emotionally unavailable? I’m not the only one of our friends who feels this way. Or do I keep quiet, and hope it doesn’t last? Or give it more time and cross my fingers, hoping that [...]

We hope that some of our topics engaged [...]

Kristina freaked out. Kristina assumed Rachel (the young woman at Adam’s office) would be [...]

Hi Miri, I was a promiscuous girl in high school. When I met my husband (we’ve been married for five years), I lied to him and told him I had been with just two other men before him. I felt as though he and his friends put so much emphasis on the number of sexual partners a woman [...]

Dear Miri, I’m glad I found this blog. I hope you can shed some honest light for me and perhaps help me with a problem. I’m a married 30-something with 2 kids. Pretty cliché life right now, working full-time, running kids around, very busy, etc. My husband and I got married when I was pregnant [...]

Dear Miri: Two years ago, I discovered my husband in bed with another woman when my son was 16 months old. He lied and told me it was nothing. Three weeks later, I discovered he had been having an affair and treating her as his girlfriend for 8 months. I discovered thousands of emails from [...]
