Past Articles for Tanya Talks
May-19-2008Imagine my surprise, after all the talks and hours spent trying to educate, to hear those dreadful words, "Mommy, I think my girlfriend might be pregnant." This is nothing a mother wants to hear from her teenage son. My heart nearly sank in my chest, but I knew I must handle this issue with caution and delicacy so as not to discourage my child from coming to me for help.

One Night Stand and Pregnant
Apr-09-2008Dear Tanya,
I don’t know what to do I have recently met someone and things are going great for us. We come from the same area growing up so we have a lot of similar interests and can really relate to one another. We have just clicked on all levels and I really see him as someone I can share my life with. I have been unlucky in love and so unhappy for so long so when he appeared to me it was as if an angel sent him. I feel so blessed. The other day we spoke and he told me he had to share some news. He had a one night stand eight months ago and just learned she is pregnant and about to give birth. Read Answer
Jealousy Amongst Friends at Work
Apr-09-2008Dear Tanya,
I am trying to figure out what I should do about a certain situation at work. I sit in cube land but the cubes are very open to each other. About a month ago a new person started here. She seems nice enough but she is not the type of person that I would make a friend of mine. Which is fine because I can work with her without it getting personal. The issue I am having is with her and another co-worker. The other co-worker and I used to be very close but since this new person started working here she has totally flipped and has been spending any time she has free with her. And that is also fine with me because I really don’t need a friend like that. I am too old to be jealous of that. I just feel uncomfortable sitting in this particular area now. I have been told to ask to move my cube to another one in the back with my other co-workers. I want to but I feel that might cause more tension. What would you suggest?

Questions love for sister
Apr-09-2008Hello Tanya,
I'm in a bit of a bind. I am a proud homosexual. I had relationships in the past with some women but I came out 7 years ago. Now I am currently in a 6 year relationship with another man. He is great and all but I have been having thoughts about someone else. The twist is it's my sister. I have always thought she was attractive but not until 3 months ago when she walked in on me and my boyfriend having relations did I start to feel attracted. When she walked in she didn't expect to see us being intimate but was turned on. What should I do Tanya? I love my boyfriend but I want to be intimate with my sister. Read Answer

Apr-09-2008Dear Tanya,
I have an older sister. She hasn't returned any of my emails. What should I do? Should I continue to email her. Or should I just call her? Read Answer Missing My Best Friend
Apr-01-2008Dear Tanya,
I am hoping that you can give me some advice about a situation involving me and my best friend. You see we have known each other for a long time. We recently moved in together. And things have been going great. The problem is she met someone and has now decided to cut me out of her life. I don’t mind that she has a boyfriend. I am happy that she is happy. What I do mind is being cut completely out of her life. We will make plans and she will break them at the last minute because she has decided to do something with her boyfriend instead leaving me hanging. Now I hope I don’t sound like a spoiled brat because I’m really not. I just think that it’s wrong to forget who have been there for you through all the hard times. I just don’t know how to handle this with her. Can you please help?

Caught Between a Man and His Child
Apr-01-2008Dear Tanya,I don’t know what to do I have recently met someone and things are going great for us. We come from the same area growing up so we have a lot of similar interests and can really relate to one another. We have just clicked on all levels and I really see him as someone I can share my life with. I have been unlucky in love and so unhappy for so long so when he appeared to me it was as if an angel sent him. I feel so blessed. The other day we spoke and he told me he had to share some news. He had a one night stand eight months ago and just learned she is pregnant and about to give birth. This could very well be his child. He has been honest with me from the beginning and his encounter with her happened far before I was even a thought in his head. He has made arrangements to have a DNA test done once the child is born. The child’s mother does not reside in Virginia but if the child is his he has made it clear that he will take care of his responsibilities. He has told me that he loves me and sees us building a wonderful future together but I am fearful that if this child is his it will change the nature of our relationship. Please help should I stay or should I leave?
