Q:  I have been dating a guy for two months, who last week invited me away for a weekend in the country, but explained that I would have to half the expenses.  I was insulted and declined the invite, but my friends say I’m over-reacting.  .This is a real good looking guy who hasn’t spent a hundred dollars on me yet.  We’ve been out for pizza, wine and four movies and each time, he asked me to share the cost.  He makes more money than I do, but basically I think he’s a cheap jerk.  What do you think?

A:  I think you know the answer.  If you wish to be treated better, hold out for it.  Why go out with a guy whom you consider a jerk and even contemplate a weekend away with him?

Q:  Two months ago, I caught my best friend and my boyfriend in an intimate act.  I have since forgiven my boyfriend and we are back together.  However, I have not spoken to my best friend since.  I can’t forgive her and I don’t want to.  I feel she violated me more than he did.  She called me recently and asked me to forgive her and I told her I couldn’t. Our mutual friends think I’m wrong to forgive him and not her.  What do you say?

A:  I say how can you forgive him and not her?  They were both equally guilty because they both violated your trust.   If you forgave one, you should forgive the other.  I find it’s interesting that you are back involved with him.  It could mean you are a glutton for punishment?
