ADVICE

Handling Stalkers

Document all communication from the stalker and file a police report.
Cease all communication, direct or indirect, and inform shared contacts not to provide information.

ADVICE

Dealing with a Partner's Alcoholism

You can't control your partner's alcoholism; seek therapy or Al-Anon for yourself.
Support her recovery if she wants it, but prioritize your well-being.

ADVICE

Marriage and Commitment

Don't get married if you're not ready, even if you think she's 'the one'.
