Ask Abby (Or Analise): Opposites attract, until they talk politics — do party lines matter in relationships?

Analise Bruno November 3, 2024
Dear Abby: Election Day is coming up, and I’m kind of annoyed at my boyfriend. He’s voting against my political party. I told him that this makes me upset given some of the opposing candidate’s policies, but he won’t listen. I know I should probably agree to disagree, but that doesn’t sit right with me. Do you think we’ll ever be able to get past this?

Ask Abby (or Analise): Netflix and actually chill, rethinking college sexpectations

Analise Bruno October 27, 2024
Dear Abby: I’m a freshman and I want to hear your thoughts about sex. I feel like I’ve heard so much gossip and judgment around the act; and I don’t know what to believe. Is there a right time to do it? Is there a limit to the number of sexual partners I should have? I’m very lost.

Ask Abby (or Analise): Loving in the dark — should you post your partner on your Instagram?

Analise Bruno September 29, 2024
Dear Abby: Tell me, is it weird to want your boyfriend to put you on his Instagram? I got no post for National Girlfriend’s Day this year, and every time I ask him about it, he gets all weird. I don’t want to bring it up because then I sound like I’m forcing him, but shouldn’t he be proud to post me? Or am I just being dramatic?

Analise Bruno September 15, 2024

Dear Abby: I have a serious question I need an answer to. Be honest, how much does height really matter in a relationship? I mean, I feel like I’m pretty tall for a guy, but there are taller ones out...

Ask Abby (or Analise): Can we ever really be friends with our exes?

Analise Bruno September 3, 2024

Dear Abby: My ex and I just split and in her last text to me she asked if we could still be friends. I’m still really hurt, but I really do love and miss her — but how can I settle for just being a...

Ask Abby (or Analise): Distance makes the heart grow fonder?

Analise Bruno February 20, 2024
Dear Abby: Is it possible to love from afar? In my head, I feel like distance can still work, but in my experience, it cannot. So, should we just cut our losses short and forget about long-distance dating altogether?

Ask Abby (or Analise): Talk to you later! Or never?

Analise Bruno October 30, 2023
Dear Abby: Help! I don’t know if this boy likes me. We’ve gone out a few times but he’s a really dry texter, and it takes him a while to respond to my messages and calls. I don’t want to seem needy and obsessive, but what do I do?!
