Dear Captain Awkward (And Awkwardeers), I've been in a fantastic relationship with my partner for a few years now. He's incredibly supportive of my mental health, and complements my personality perfectly. However, and this may seem a silly concern, I'm worried about the fact that we never argue. Basically, I'm concerned that this might mean … Continue reading #524: How do I fight with my partner without ruining everything?

#432: I’m pregnant, I hate small talk, UGH: A Compendium
Dear Captain, I’m pregnant - yay! It’s still pretty early, but if things go well, I’m on my way to being a big gassy pregnant lady. (Right now I am a small gassy pregnant lady).

#413: How do I Relationship?
Hi Captain and Awkwardeers! I have a problem that may or may not be an actual problem and is probably easy to solve, but asking friends for answers gave me nothing but contradictory answers, so I thought maybe you could help. I’m young (in college) and just started dating one of my friends. It’s great. … Continue reading #413: How do I Relationship?
#326: Our relationship and communication skills are awesome… too awesome?
As amazing as these past couple of questions have been, they're also kind of depressing. I want to thank the following questioner for presenting us with a pleasant, happy sort of problem in which no one is being even a little bit of an asshole. Cheers! Hello Captain (and Awkward Army)! So here's the deal. … Continue reading #326: Our relationship and communication skills are awesome… too awesome?

Dear Captain Awkward, I am a recent High School graduate and I am going to start college in the fall somewhat far away from my home state (about an 11 hour drive) and i am so excited I've made a countdown and I've befriended all of my soon to be classmates on FB and found … Continue reading #285: Is it bad if my relationship has an expiration date?
#267: How do I talk about sex with my first sex partner?
Dear Captain, I am in an awkward sexy-times situation (the best kind of awkward! ...Or is it?), and am in need of a script and Jedi hugs. Halp? I grew up in a horribly repressive, fundamentalist Christian household; the entirety of my sexual education came from the church, and can be summed up into: 1. … Continue reading #267: How do I talk about sex with my first sex partner?
#260: Sense and Sensibility and Saying Stuff Out Loud
Dear Captain Awkward, I'm afraid my question is a little on the vague and general side. I feel like Jane Bennet, whose "feelings, though fervent, were little displayed." I just don't wear my heart on my sleeve, and for the most part I'm very happy to be that way. But I think it's … Continue reading #260: Sense and Sensibility and Saying Stuff Out Loud
#242: Can I Tell Guys I Don’t Want to Date Them Before They Ask Me to Date Them?
Dear Capt. Awkward, So, I'm a 25 year old lady. Like a lot of your readers (I think?) I've never really had a lot of dating success, and definitely have never had a boyfriend. This sometimes makes me feel a little sad, but I've never really gone out there in pursuit of a boyfriend, and … Continue reading #242: Can I Tell Guys I Don’t Want to Date Them Before They Ask Me to Date Them?
#233: Open Marriage With the Sea?
Dear Captain Awkward, A week ago, I met this person my age at a sailors' swap-meet. He was selling a marine toilet, and I happened to need one. I bought it, and we talked a bit about our respective boats, then went our separate ways. But yesterday, a letter turned up. He must have pulled … Continue reading #233: Open Marriage With the Sea?
Question #117: How is this relationship like ill-fitting pants?
Dear Captain Awkward: Maybe you can help me untangle my brain? I've been dating a guy for eight months. We live about an hour apart, and made up for irregular facetime with hours-long phone calls. Then bad things happened in each of our lives, and the rainbows and unicorns we'd started with disappeared. The last … Continue reading Question #117: How is this relationship like ill-fitting pants?
