Dear Anna: Hi Anna. I’m 40 years old and single. I met someone over a year ago. Things started off well.

How can I get my GF to wear the jewelry I bought her? Ask Anna

1 week ago | oregonlive.com | Anna Pulley

Dear Anna: I’ve been dating my girlfriend for almost 10 months now. I frequently buy her jewelry and sometimes clothing, but she never wears them when we’re together. Sometimes I’ll ask for photos of her wearing the pieces to see how they look, and she will send one, but I never see them in person. Is this a me problem? Why doesn’t she ever wear them? Does she not like them? I haven’t brought this up because I worry it might come across as controlling, like I’m dictating what she should wear.

Ask Anna: I can’t afford to honor my good friend’s wishes

2 weeks ago | oregonlive.com | Anna Pulley

Dear Anna: Three months ago, I excitedly agreed to be the maid of honor in my college roommate’s destination wedding next summer, assuming it would involve standard expenses. Fast forward to now, and I’m realizing I cannot afford the costs: a specific designer bridesmaid dress, mandatory professional hair and makeup, the flight and five-day stay at the luxury resort venue, the bachelorette weekend, plus various shower contributions and an expected gift.

What to do when your partner shuts down

1 month ago | thebrunswicknews.com | Anna Pulley

By Anna Pulley, Tribune News Service I'm a 35-year-old woman currently in a relationship with a wonderful man (44) who has a complicated family situation. He shares custody of his young daughter with his ex-partner, who has a history of emotional abuse and manipulation. She actively tries to drive a wedge between him and his daughter, fights every single parenting decision, and tells all manner of lies about him to his daughter. This upsets him greatly-it upsets me too!
