Why can't she behave like a normal girl?
Dear Diana,
My girlfriend is a very badly mannered girl. She screams at her parents, she burps while she eats (and she CAN eat!), even farts in public and in general, behaves like a tomboy. I've tried to drill some sense of what accepted feminine behaviour is supposed to be, sound or look like, but she just won't take a hint. In fact, she even called me sexist. God knows I'm not, it's just that this kind of behaviour is very off-putting. Help!

Dear Yatin,
There's something specific we look for in a prospective partner. Compatibility usually ranks high on most people's lists. Most people believe their partners should behave in a certain way, one that won't have too many people asking uncomfortable questions. Of course, if it makes you uncomfortable, you ought to voice it out. It's something that she doesn't find repulsive, though. Ideally, you should let her be and ignore these things. In time, this phase too will die out. you'll stop being sensitive to the sights and sounds. Don't bother too much about it. It wouldn't hurt to check what she's eating, though!
I can't trust him again!
Dear Diana,
I've known my husband six years and have been married to him for two. For a year now, he has started chatting online with girls and was also planning their visits to the city by giving them tickets to come meet him. I hppened to see his chat converstaion with 2 such girls. I confronted him on this and he said that he was only chatting. That he just was having fun. He asks me to trust him. We've fighting for 6 months now and I cannot bring myself to trust him again. What should I do?
Name withheld on request
Dear Friend,
He shouldn't flirt without your knowledge. Ideally, you should be okay with it and it shouldn't be anything more than just that. You have to be very sure to back up the allegations you make. You have been with him this long, so my advice to you would be to let him off with a very stern warning that this will be the absoute last chance he has.
It ended the same way
Dear Diana,
When I was in FYJC, I proposed to a girl. She said she'd like to get to know me better before saying yes (so her answer for then was a NO, but that we could be friends). Then she completely started avoiding me. A year later, I proposed to another girl, it ended the same way. I'm confused.

Dear Chikoo,
They obviously got to know you better and didn't like something about you. Which is why they later said no. Whatever the case, it was a rude way of dumping you. Try to leartn from these two experiences before proposing to someone you really like. There's nothing to be confused about. Maybe, they're just not that into you. You should move on too. Be a rolling stone!
