Dr. Love, My fiance’ and I are contemplating opening a joint account to cover wedding expenses. What do you think of having a joint account before marriage? ~Financial Risk Taker
Great idea! Just agree to put a certain amount in each month or develop a system that works for the both of you and stick to it.
Dr. Love, My boyfriend of 9 months accepted a position in Chicago and I live in Arizona. How realistic is it to have a successful long distance relationship? ~Different Area Codes
Very realistic! This will test the friendship of the relationship instead of the physical so this is a good test to see where you all stand in a true relationship.
Dr. Love, My ex-boyfriend and I ended on a cordial note. I recently saw his new wife of 2 months making out with a guy. Should I tell him or will I come off as the jealous ex-girlfriend? ~Torn
You will come off as the jealous ex. I say keep your mouth shut unless you have hard evidence like a picture and even then it depends on how good of friends you all are. I would personally stay out of it.
Dr. Love, I am ready to start a family with my husband. He’s not ready. How do we compromise? ~Empty Nester
You both don’t have to be completely ready to start a family but I would talk to him and see why he’s not ready. See what his concerns are and try to get on the same page. Having children is a big responsibility so even if both parties are not ready, they should both be on the same page.
