manslations

Welcome to Friday, ladies. Today, we’ve got a reader who’s man has pre-existing “Mom” issues with some of the things that she’s done. And no matter how badly he wants to, he just can’t let it go. MANSLATOR’S NOTE: Since this is a long one, I’m going to do another “conversation-style” manslation. Here it goes: [...]

Yeah, that doesn’t make as romantic a song title, does it? Well, this Valentine’s Day, we’ve got a letter from a reader named Tracy who is living this dream of dreams. She’s been seeing two dudes (isn’t it enough trouble trying to deal with ONE of us?) and she’s concerned that one or both of [...]

What happens when stuff goes unspoken in a couple? Well, if you’ve ever wondered that, wonder no more. A reader named “Deanna” wrote in about a gentleman, asking what’s going on in his mind. But after reading the story, I’m not sure I know what’s going on in HER mind. Or mine, for that matter. [...]

Today, we have an extra special feature on a pal ‘o mine, Janice Erlbaum. She used to be a comic, and now she’s a for-reals author. Her second book, Have You Found Her (followup to the totally awesome and critically acclaimed Girlbomb) is being released — TODAY, February 12th! This is what Kirkus Reviews had [...]

Well, apropos of this week’s nightmarish holiday, the big V, a reader named Mika’s got a question: What do you get for a man for Valentine’s Day that isn’t so…girly?

On again, off again, on for a few months, off for a couple weeks. Then back on. What’s the deal here? As our reader (who calls herself “Kim the Clinger) asks, is it possible that this will work out at some point, or does she need a good slap upside her head? (Incidentally, I don’t [...]

Manslatee, Sassy, has a situation where she’s been with this guy for about 3 years…except…not so much. They dated for a while, but now it seems like he’s got all the “friend”, but much of the “boy”. But she’s still in pretty deep. Should she tell him she wants another try? How the hell should [...]

Today, we’ve got another question about the man who, after making sure he has well and truly dumped you, comes back with some words that seem in DIRECT opposition to the dumping. What IS this? Repeat asker, Loiralei, wants to know! Loiralei, the bell tolls for thee. Or at least for thy manslation. You know, [...]

Today, we’ve got a letter from awesome-commenting manslatee, Selena, whose X-man made such an abrupt turnaround — literally days before she was to move in with him — that she still wants to know what the hell happened. Read on to find out: Jeff, Since you are sooo good at this, I thought it would [...]

It’s Monday, ladies, and we’ve got a real quickie on our hands. A reader named Marie dated a guy for a year, dumped him over Christmas, and is wondering why she’s not his favorite person right now. Puzzled? Mmm….yeah, me neither. But let’s see what we can do for our friend Marie here: my name [...]
