He's never said he loves me before this! So why now?

Dear Diana,
We're both adults and have been together six months. We have discussed love and feel we love each other but have never said "I love you" to each other (because we are both afraid of heartbreak). Last night while having sex (not our first time), he looked into my eyes and told me that I'm beautiful. He has never said this to me before. I think he is one of those guys who can't/doesn't know how to give a girl compliments. Also, right after he said I was beautiful, while we were still having sex, he asked me if I love him. I didn't say anything but then he asked again and I said yes (it is true, BTW). He replied with an "I love you too". He has never spoken about this before. What does this mean?

Dear Friend,
I think it sounds like he was busting down a wall between you two, with this whole "don't say I love you" thing. Sounds pretty clear to me that he loves you!! And it was during sex because that's an intense emotional bonding type moment. He didn't have to say it to get in your pants- no offense, but he's been in those pants for months right?? Sounds like you two are getting more serious. You should both tell each other you love the other as often as you feel like it- you said yourself you love him back...it feels good to hear, and you guys may be in for a long haul.

Says he loves me, then runs back to his wife

Dear Diana,
I am in a gay relationship and love the guy I am dating. The problem is he tells me that he loves me and wants to spend the rest of his life with he, then he runs back to his cheating wife. I love him with all my heart and soul and it hurts me. What should I do?

Dear Friend,
Leave him. He's saying what he knows you want to hear, but the person he goes back to is the one who he's actually with. You're being used. You should find someone else, who's single and more caring. And fast!

He's doing it openly now!

Dear Diana,
I recently found out that my husband has been talking to a lot of women. He has started hiding things better now that I found out he slept with one. He smashed up his cell phone because he didn't want me to see who was on it. He even went as far as changing the password and name on the bill so I couldn't see who is on it. Now tell me something do you think he is in love with one of these women or do you think he's still talking to them. I heard him on the recorder talking to one of them at work telling her to say she doesn't know him should I call her. What should I do?

Dear Friend,
Either he is two-timing you and going to elaborate extremes to conceal his other life from you (which could be very dangerous, be careful...) or you are a very very jealous, suspicious person by nature and he has to hide even business contacts from you because you will invade his privacy, find out and hit the roof in a completely irrational way. Only you know the history of your relationship. Is this a pattern? If so, did you become suspicious because of his alarming behaviour? I don't know if he loves her but it sounds to me like you are being a fool if you stay with this man. He is cheating on you with another woman and has no respect for you.
