Dear Emily, I’ve been seeing Chloe for six months now, and things have been great. She used to model in New York and Paris. She’s also a Giver. She’s bought me things plenty of times, she’s kind to my close friends, and she takes care of her mother, who is financially unstable. She manages to babysit terribly bratty children, so she seems to have good potential as a mother, as well. She also has...

Dear Emily, I am a gay man who has been in a relationship with my partner for nine years. My lover has always planned on undergoing a sex change, from male to female. There were money and health problems, but he’s ready now. I’ve always told him that I love him, no matter what. Now he’s gotten his breast implants and I have to admit I am completely weirded out by them. I feel like a hypocrite,...

Dear Emily,
I’ve been with my husband for nearly eight years. When we met, he weighed about 140 pounds, which wasn’t bad on his 5-foot-10 frame. Since then, he’s ballooned to 230 pounds! I know I should just be a grownup and tell him that it would improve our sex life if he lost the weight. The problem is this: I am a recovering anorexic. My husband knows and has been nothing short of...
ask emmy. part five.
Dear Emily,
Today is my 27th birthday, and I am getting tired of being single. I’m decent-looking (according to friends), kind, a good cook, I own my own company and am a generally very well-rounded, highly intelligent man. That said, in the past 10 years, I have been in only one relationship and for less than one year.
The pattern is that I form very close friendships with smart,...

Dear Emily,
My girlfriend is a smoker. In the beginning it didn’t bother me. I come from a family of smokers and I used to smoke. But now her smoking is a huge turn-off. I’ve also started a new job where I work with cancer patients and I see the deadly effects of smoking everyday. I’ve tried everything to get her to stop. She says she’ll try, but never makes an effort....

Dear Emily, About a year ago I started a new job. I had been unemployed for over a year and had already lost my car to repossession so now I have to use public transportation. There are the same few of us at the bus stop every morning and we all take the same bus. One of them is a very nice, older man with poor eyesight. He would always fumble, trying to find the right bills for the bus so one day...
ask emmy. part two.
Dear Emily, My husband has some kinky sexual desires that I don’t want to deal with—they just aren’t my thing. He’s proposed that he visit a dominatrix, and I’m half-inclined to consent. He insists that they wouldn’t be having sex, not even in the Bill Clinton sense, and that whatever happens, there would be no threat to our relationship. I suspect that both of those...
ask emmy. part one.
Dear Emily, I recently discovered that Mr. A, my favorite teacher at my all-girls private school, is having sex with one of my closest friends, Bee. Mr. A has known us since we were 12, and we became close to him when we entered high school. When my parents divorced, he was someone I could talk to. When Bee’s mom got sick, he was a sounding board for her, too. I’ve always thought of...
