About EarthMother



About me:
I have worked in social services (nonprofits) for over two decades. At this point, there is little I've not heard, and therefore, I am able to give pretty grounded advice.

I like to write, and I'm currently working on my first novel. I created a 5-week workshop series for midlife women; and, I also have a midlife advice column in a small SF Bay Area paper.

Feel free to ask me whatever is on your mind &/or in your heart. I'm here, just ask!

I wish you well,
Earth Mother

....im with this guy and its great but there is one thing . when he tells me he is going to do things he does do them i mean i guess its just little things but it really bugs me. like when we are on the phone he tells me he has to feed his dog and he will be about 5 mins ...than he calls back around 3 hours later and says sorry.. or he says we are going to hang out today but than he says he cant and than says sorry. he tells me he is going to do things but never does and im getting tired of it..i guess its really the calling thing that bugs me the most but ...is this really anything to stress over or am i being alittle cranky?

Dear I Can't Believe Him,
Listen, I'd be cranky too if somebody was treating me that way! It's important to be able to trust each other, especially a bf or gf. If your bf can't follow through with what he says he's going to do, then it's about time you talk with him. After all, it's bothering you and therefore it's already affecting your relationship. LET HIM KNOW HOW YOU FEEL, and hopefully being honest with him will help!

If this doesn't help, you might want to ponder why you are willing to be with someone who doesn't respect you enough to keep his word. Keep it real; you deserve an honest relationship with somebody who'll be honest in return. The ball is in your court!
Take Care,
Earth Mother
