"I'm not sure if I still want to be with my boyfriend. We have been going out for 3 weeks now and I don't know if I feel the same way about him as I did when we got together. He doesn't treat me the way I want to be treated and I feel like we are growing apart. I don't know if I want to keep seeing him anymore, and if I don't, how do I tell him? Help!"

It's very common for people to grow apart as relationships go on. You say that he doesn't treat you the way you want to be treated. If that's really the case, than you should seriously consider how you would like to be treated and go out and find someone that will treat you that way. As far as telling him you want to break up, honestly never hurt anyone. If you do decide to break up with him you should tell him directly and honestly. -Jessica

Seriously? Three weeks? I'm not sure how much "drifting" you can do in this amount of time. You "got together" less than a month ago. If you are thinking about breaking up now, I don't think this kind of thing is going to get better with time. As far as how to tell him, I'm not sure he's going to be too devastated about ending a relationship that just started. I'm not thinking this relationship will last until you actually get to read this column. -Ashley

"I need advice. I have two BFF's that I introduced. All three of us have been best friends for so long but now I feel left out. They are always going and doing things together without me, and won't even answer my calls or texts that much anymore. I feel like they don't like me anymore and it really sucks. I don't know whether to talk to them about it or to start over and make new friends, but they both seem too hard. I love both of them, but sometimes I wish they hadn't met. What do I do?"

Have you tried officially setting plans with the both of them? You could possibly ask them both to have lunch with them to talk to them about how your feeling left out. I'm assuming that they are unaware of the fact that you are feeling out of the loop. I think you should tell them clearly how you feel. As far as breaking off connections with your friends all-together and starting fresh; making new friends is great, but I don't think you should sever bonds with an unresolved problem. If you don't attempt to solve the problem, you might end up finding out later that it was all a big misunderstanding. -Jessica

Three is very obviously an odd number. Make new friends and keep the old, just don't invest too much time in someone who doesn't treat you like a friend should. -Ashley
