Dear Diana,
My girlfriend is a horrid, horrid person and is always losing her temper for the most trivial of reasons. We've been together three years and she hasn't changed in all this time. I don't know how to deal with this. I love her and cannot bear to be without her. We've gone through a lot together -- good times, bad times -- and it doesn't really feel like living if it's without her. So yes, you could say I am addicted to her. When she's good, she's super, when she's bad, you know the drift.... How do I make sure the good times last?

Dear Friend,
Well, you can't cry about something you've put up with for three years. If you want out, be adamant about it and go for it. If you are going to complain about having withdrawal symptoms if you're away from her, I seriously think you need to get yourself checked. Don't behavel ike a loveorn puppy. It's just not done. Agreed, she's a keeper, but she needs to get anger management therapy.

She's worried about two-year age difference...

Dear Diana,
I'm a 17-year-old guy in a relationship with a 19-year-old guy. She's only wary about the complications that might arise out of an age difference. I'm trying to tell her it ain't that big a deal but she won't listen. We're close to a break-up!
