How will constant nagging help our relationship?

Dear Diana,
My girlfriend and I have been going out for nearly four months, but have known each other for years before that. I love her and she says she loves me, and everything was so perfect at first! But now it seems like all I do is piss her off. Over stupid stuff.

All she does is complain now. I eventually fix what she nags about too, there's always something new though. I tell her about it and she says because "if she wouldn't do this, our relationship wouldn't progress". I understand that it makes sense. But it's constant, and it's not like she's perfect either, and I don't see her progressing and changing for me!!

Sure, it's to "help our relationship", but it also hurts because it stresses me out. But I love her and I know she loves me too. I just wanna get over this fighting and just have her be content. Besides, I keep putting up with this only because I don't want to lose her, but she's never happy!

Dear Friend,
I could suggest spending time apart to clear your head and get things into perspective, but she wouldn't take it as sportingly. Her constant nagging may have a hidden trigger and it would serve you well to discover it and deal with that first. Her words suggest that someone who doesn't want this relationship to work is advising her. It's one thing to expect you to change or "progress" and totally another thing to not practise what she preaches. The only way you get over the fighting is if she follows the same changes she recommends to you.

At what age does a woman stop being hot?

Dear Diana,
When does a woman lose her "hotness"? At what age is considered no longer attractive?

Yashika

Dear Yashika,
I find that most people have a realistic view of hotness . That said, older men tend to fall for/fantasise about women at least ten to twenty years younger than they are. Older women can seem attractive to younger men, too. I guess the age you're looking for, is somewhere between 35-45, by most estimates.u00a0

Why do happily married men cheat?

Dear Diana,
Why do men cheat and want to talk online to other women when they say they are happily married? Would they really cheat or even flirt if they were that happy? Would a man actually cheat given the opportunity if he could get away with it?

Dear Friend,

There's this natural assumption that married men should not cheat Or that only men cheat. Shouldn't that rule apply to women as well? The way I see it, anyone ufffd men or women ufffd would cheat or flirt given the opportunity if they had the slightest hint that they'd get away with it or thought that they'd never get caught.
