My Husband Is Jealous of My Success

My Husband Is Jealous of My Success

Amanda and her husband, Tyler, both work for the same company. After Amanda is promoted, she suddenly finds herself in the uncomfortable position of managing her own spouse. While Tyler was initially supportive, his behavior has shifted: he’s now distant at work and at home, where frequent arguments often spiral into clashes over what he sees as a lack of respect for him as a man. At the same time, one of Amanda’s employees, Brandon, has been consistently encouraging and supportive, and she finds herself increasingly drawn to his company. Feeling caught between her husband’s growing resentment and her own complicated emotions, Amanda turns to Sarah for guidance on how to navigate her marriage, her role as a boss, and her emerging attraction to Brandon.

My Best Friend Is Dating My Ex & I Fell in Love with a Cougar

Trina’s best friend, Misty, has broken one of the biggest unspoken rules in the friendship handbook: she’s dating Trina’s long-term ex-boyfriend, Brandon. Even though Trina was the one who ended the relationship and things ended amicably, it still hurts. Misty was there for all the post-breakup drinks and ugly cries, but when Trina confronted her, Misty stood her ground, saying that Trina was the one who dumped him and Brandon is fair game now. Even Trina’s mom thinks she needs to let it go or risk losing both of them. Should Misty have told Trina about her feelings first? And is Trina justified in feeling hurt and uncomfortable?

The Snooping Sister & Traveling Casanova

Diana’s sister, Lyla, and her husband Marcus, appear to have a picture‑perfect marriage and family, at least from the outside. But Diana has never trusted Marcus, largely because of his charming, flirtatious personality. During a visit, Diana borrowed Marcus’s iPad and discovered several inappropriate messages between him and another woman. She immediately told Lyla, and now the marriage is in free fall, with divorce looming. The problem? The rest of the family is divided over whether Diana did the right thing. Should she have kept it to herself for the sake of her sister’s family and allowed Lyla to live in blissful ignorance or was telling the truth the only option?  In our second session, Kim is dating Micah, a highly successful man who travels 245 days a year for work. Kim enjoys the perks of his lifestyle: staying in his beachfront home, driving luxury cars, and being showered with gifts and jewelry. But despite all of that, she feels deeply lonely because of his constant travel. Adding to her unease, she rarely knows exactly where he’s going or who he’s meeting, and his extreme charm only heightens her concerns. While Kim’s friends think she’s crazy to question such an enviable lifestyle, she feels she’s missing the one thing she wants most: time with Micah.

Darren wants to support his kids without feeling taken advantage of, so he turns to Sarah for advice on how to ask them to pitch in and become more self‑sufficient. Our second caller is Dawn, who’s been divorced three times and has turned to a matchmaker to help her find Mr. Right. So far, though, every match has been a bust—too short, too skinny, too hairy, you name it. Is Dawn being too picky, or is the matchmaker cashing checks and missing the mark?
