ZESTY ZOE

Dear Zoe,

My boyfriend keeps forgetting my birthday, forgetting our 'anniversary', forgetting my name and forgetting to call me. What should I do?

Zoe: Forget that he's your boyfriend.

Dear Zoe,

I was seeing a married man. He said he wanted me, but wouldn't leave his wife. I kept asking him to leave her. Eventually, he did leave his wife - but I am devastated to find out he has now been cheating on me.

Zoe: You knew what he was like - how can you be surprised?
I'd say his wife got a belated escape, and you got what you deserve.

Dear Zoe,

I argue with my girlfriend constantly. We argue about what to watch on telly, what to eat, who should do which household chore, who starts an argument. Where do you see our relationship going?

Zoe: I see your relationship going straight into a brick wall. This relationship is best ended right now, but try not to argue about who finishes it.

Dear Zoe,

My partner is deliberately cruel to me, talks to me like rubbish and treats me appallingly. Why am I with him?

Zoe: You said it, girl!
