Dear Melody,
My best friend and her boyfriend sleep in the same room as their 1-year-old and 6-year-old sons. They are very sexually activate. When is it time for them to stop having sex in front of the kids?
Sincerely,
Questioning Friend
Dear Questioning Friend,
Wow, even for me this is interesting. I understand […]

Dear Melody-
I have been going out with my boyfriend for about a year. Most of the time it’s great but his mom seems to make comments to push my buttons. She goes out of her way to bring up all these past girls he has dated and tells me about every crush he has […]
Niki,
So the holidays are near. At work we all exchange gifts (only three of us). Well, here is my problem. I hate my coworker. Do I really have to get her something? What do you get a person you can’t even stand for Christmas?

Dearest Scrooge,
I would like to say you are a horrible person […]
Dear Niki -
I went out on Halloween, and I got drunk. I met a girl who I thought was beautiful. It was a mix of beer goggles and alcohol, for sure. We spent the night together, and the next morning, she went to wash her face. When she came back, I was yearning for the […]
Dear Niki -
I love my boyfriend of three years very much. He’s everything I could ask for in a man — he’s attentive, sensitive caring and sweet. I could fill this email with positive adjectives about how great he is. But, I want to write about the one problem I have with him: He wants […]
Dear Niki -
I have an easy question for ya: Why do we deal with wastes of time in our lives? And if you didn’t get it, I mean guys.
Love, Manhater
Dear Manhater -
I’d tell you to brush off those combat boots in the back of the closet, but it sure sounds like you’ve done that already. […]
Dear Niki,
I have been with my husband for 14 years., I love him very much but we are having “issues.” He has roaming eyes and points out “hot” women whenever we are out. He has not cheated. However, I get so angry and upset every time he does it. I have asked him to stop […]
Dear Niki -
My friend asked me to borrow a lot of money. I have the money to lend her, and she knows it. I know she needs help, but I’m scared it will ruin our friendship if she doesn’t pay me back. Friendship is more important than money, and I don’t want to look like […]
Dear Niki,
I have a friend that I’ve known for many years, and he’s a compulsive liar. Everything he says are lies. I really think he has a problem. Should I confront him or just not pay any mind like I’ve been doing?

Dear Jiminy Cricket,
I can understand your dilemma here, but […]
Hey Niki,
So here’s what I need to ask you: I’m a mom of four and my husband and I disagree on how to raise our son (he’s the only boy). My husband wants him to play football and baseball. He wouldn’t care as long as it was sports related, however my son just doesn’t have […]
Dear Niki,
Here’s my question: My coworker has been less than honest to our boss and part of me feels like I should stay of it, and she’ll learn. But I feel it’s getting out of hand. He has read our boss’ and other people’s emails at work and tells me, he takes advantage all the […]
Dear Niki,
I just graduated from college. My friend’s mother is very sick. Lately, my friend seems to be distanced and depressed. I’m really worried about her. My friend has always been very outgoing, but lately she seems withdraw. I’m not alone; other friends have also expressed concern about her too, but they say […]
Dear Niki,
I have a major problem. My husband and my best friend HATE each other. All they do is fight. They both put me in the middle and expect me to pick a side. If I pick my husband, my friend gets upset, and if I pick my best friend my husband gets pissed. How […]
Dear Niki,
After a night of drinking, I had a one night stand with my best friend, and, just my luck, I’m going to be a daddy in two months. I don’t want a relationship with her, but we are living together and she gets CRAZY when I spend time with other women. How can I […]
Dear Niki -
I work full-time… and then some. I get paid for 40 hours a week, but I’m always at the office closer to 60 hours a week. I don’t get paid overtime because of some contractual policy. However, I want to ask for a raise. How do I do this without risking getting fired?

Niki,
I need some advice. My daughter and I have always been very close, however since she’s turned 16, I feel she has built a wall up. She a wonderful girl. She gets good grades, is on the cheerleading squad and is very popular. But I miss that connection. How can I get back in touch […]
Dear Ms. Niki -
I’m 32 and never married. I’ve done blind dates, bars, clubs, everything — except online dating. My friends, who are married, are pushing me to give it a try, but I just don’t feel comfortable. Yet, at the same time, everyone is doing it. Should I ?

Dear Niki,
I love your column, and I wanted to ask your opinion on my current problem with my 12-year-old daughter. I recently got a divorce, and “Amy” refuses to have anything to do with her father. She hasn’t spoken to him in over three months. They were always close. My ex keeps leaving messages for […]
Dear Niki,
So heres my question: My best friend and I are arguing over something very stupid (I don’t want to sdaay what it is), and I was being immature about the whole thing. However, we haven’t spoken in a month, and I don’t want to lose a friendship over it. I mean, I know I’m […]
Dear Ms. Niki,
So, I have a friend that I’ve know for the past 30 years and we have done everything together (we meet in the third grade and been best friends ever since). We’ve been through so much in our lives from first kisses, dating, heartache, marriage, babies, loss of a parent, I couldn’t imagine […]
Dear Niki -
Why do girls always over think things?
Love, A Thinker in New York
Dear A Thinker -
We had a saying back in high school that went: If you weren’t thinking, you wouldn’t have thought that.
A truer sentence has never been spoken — especially among high school kids. If your mind was always blank, you’d have […]
Dear Niki -
I was crushing on this guy for a while, and I went out with him on a “group date” (those aren’t my words, they’re my friend’s). The date is so nicely forever from a few weeks back. Anyway, there haven’t been many developments. We exchange emails, we talk on the phone, but […]
Dear Niki,
So I’m engaged to the most wonderful man, and he has the most amazing family. However I’m having a problem with the wedding planning with his mother. His parents are paying for the rehearsal dinner and are taking control of who should be invited, but it’s our wedding rehearsal. I also hate the place […]

Dear Niki - I’m dating a guy who has a girlfriend. He treats me amazingly. I see him every night and we are constantly talking on the phone. We are intimate, and I know he isn’t like that with his girlfriend. He said he would leave her for me, but I told him […]
If you have a question for Niki, email her at AskNiki(at)gmail.com
Dear Niki,
I’m 20 and my boyfriend is 25. We’ve been dating for four months. Our relationship was a dream come true — until recently. My boyfriend asked me to stay with him during my spring break from college. For two weeks! I was a little […]

[[Editor’s note: The advice column returns after an extended hiatus. Niki Answers — not her real name, just like Dear Abby — sits down in the advice chair. Sure, she’s given me some crazy advice in the past — she once told me, “If breaking up was a walk in the park, you’d […]

Apparently no one wants my advice. That’s cool. You don’t trust me yet. I understand.
Sure, I helped one person decide what do with her life, another person I helped with her running situation, and I even told someone to start Travis Henry over….alright, forget that last one.
So instead of offering specific advice to […]

Word is getting out. It’s no longer the secret it once was. I know all. Sure, there’s still some blowback from everyone who speaks to me everyday, and know I do stupid stuff, like setting my genitals on fire for a laugh. Sure, it gets a laugh, but one of these days I’m […]

Maybe it’s the holidays, maybe it’s because no one reads this thing yet, or maybe it’s because no one trusts a guy who only washes his hands after a crap when he actually craps on them. But the questions aren’t exactly flooding in just yet.
You should know that Debbie Marla Megson is following […]

People always say to me, “Dave, you look great today. Tell me, is always being right about everything as awesome as it’s cracked up to be?” That’s when I always say, “Heidi, while it is fantastic, there are some drawbacks. Now, put on your clothes and get out of my apartment.”
But it’s true. […]
