DEAR DIVA’S ADVICE.

Dear Diva,

My boyfriend constantly texts me throughout the day. When I’m at work I don’t respond immediately, this makes him very upset. I wish he would understand.

Dear Text Stressed,

Honey, your man is selfish and not very mature. Who the fuck in their right mind would risk getting fired because they spent too much time on their phone texting some motherfucker who obviously doesn’t give a fuck about their well-being? Is he going to pay your bills if you lose your job? I doubt it. What the fuck is he doing during the day that he has so much time on his hands to pester you? Beware, this bitch is trouble. Dear Diva,

I have been dating a great guy for the past six months. He treats me well and I was hoping that we could have a future together. But when I discuss the future he says that he is not good enough for me. I am an attorney and he is a janitor. I love him and don’t care about his job. He used to work as an illustrator. When I suggested I’d help him put together an art show with his work he said that I was pitying him. He is a good man. Not sure what I can do to convince him of this.

Dear Kind Heart,

Low self-esteem is a bitch. It is one of those things that is very difficult to reverse and has fucked up many lives. There is no pill for this and years of therapy doesn’t always offer a cure. When someone feels unworthy of happiness, love and success due to low self-esteem, they usually end up fucking up good things that come into their lives. You can’t fix him. This is a bird with a broken wing. Unless he can fix himself, you need to fly away while you still can. Dear Diva,

I went on a first date recently with a new guy and he spent most of his time on his phone. He said he was involved with a major project at work and had to respond to his colleagues. I know some things at work can consume much of your time, but I didn’t enjoy our time together. I felt ignored. He says he wants to take me out again to make up for this. Dear Cell Phone Widow,

I feel your pain. What’s the point of a date if the motherfucker is going to spend the whole time on his phone? If this work project is so major perhaps he should wait until this shit is completed before he asks you out on another date so he can give you his undivided attention. Give him another chance. If he fucks that up tell him to fuck off. Dear Diva,

My boyfriend has been complaining that I have become distant with him. I used to want to spend every minute with him but for some reason I don’t feel like that now.

Dear Distant,

People fall in and out of love every day. Shit happens. But don’t string your boyfriend along. You need to be honest and tell him how you feel. Don’t waste any more of your time, or his.

Shit happens. Don’t string your boyfriend along. You need to be honest and tell him how you feel.
