Dear Mother Love,

Why does my boyfriend talk about other girls all the time?

Sincerely, J

Dear J,

If your boyfriend is talking about other girls all the time, there seems to be some present issues within your relationship. Your boyfriend could possibly not like you anymore, or he is just really toxic. It would be a good idea to sit down with him, and let out your feelings. Communication is key!

Dear Mother Love,

Why do people judge me for dating a girl 3 years younger than me? 

Sincerely, Lizzo

Dear Lizzo,

Age gaps in relationships becomes a very hard topic to talk about when it’s brought up. Most of the time, it’s brought up when it becomes illegal. The thing is…a 16-year-old could be dating a 12-year-old and that is legally acceptable, but a 19-year-old and a 16-year-old isn’t. It’s a hard thing to go about, when any little detail matters. People have opinions, but the main thing you should focus on is what each guardian says on both sides. As long as there is consent, and it’s legal, that’s all that matters. Who cares what other people think!

Dear Mother Love, 

Why are shoulders so distracting? 

Sincerely, J.B.

Dear J.B.,

They aren’t. Learn to be respectful. Like if you’re saying “Ooooh look at their shoulders”…you have issues. Unless it’s about a guy’s arms, then heck yes! We always love good arm candy.

Dear Mother Love,

Why do I get in trouble for making out with my boyfriend in the hallway 

Sincerely, M1strM4n

Dear M1strM4n,

PDA is disgusting. Making out especially, it’s fine if it’s a little smooch or holding hands but making out?? Get a room. Keep that private. Especially when that is something that should be private and special, not just done to do it.

Dear Mother Love,

Is love at first sight real? 

Sincerely, Taylor Swift

Dear Taylor Swift,

There is a possibility. When you see someone, there could be an instant connection, and you could feel drawn into them. This is a real scientific thing where people have these energies, like we are like the planets, attracted from gravity and giving out our own gravity. People will get drawn in, or float away. And if they do, they’re just another picture to burn.

Dear Mother Love,

Is love even real? Why do we love 

Sincerely, Ron Shrader

Dear Ron Shrader,

What is love? Baby, don’t hurt me. Baby, don’t hurt me. No more. – Haddaway

Dear Mother Love,

What’s the difference between someone liking you and loving you 

Sincerely, InLoveWithHim

Dear InLoveWithHim,

When you like someone, there is a connection. A surface level connection. When you love someone, there is a relationship. Love can mean many different things. Meant for many different people, it’s not just restricted for your partner. You can love friends, family members, and even just random people. When you love someone, it’s your heart speaking. There is a relationship between the both of you that means something, and isn’t just fabricated. To you, it’s real and has a deeper meaning than when you like someone on the surface. So, in review. Liking someone is surface level, loving someone is deeper level. Don’t feel weirded out when someone says they love you, they could just mean they care about you, and you mean a lot to them.

Dear Mother Love,

Why does my partner insult my parents 

Sincerely, Will Fry

Dear Will Fry,

That’s a great question. Your partner should learn to like your parents, even if they hate them. Just fake it! I know you all are good at that. But we are young, let’s be honest, your little high school relationship won’t last outside of high school, so just power through and be nice to your partners parents. It’s not that hard.

Dear Mother Love,

Is it okay to be best friends with my ex? 

Sincerely, ICantSeeImBlind

Dear ICantSeeImBlind,

I would say no. You can’t ever be friends with someone that you had that deep of a connection with. You can’t ever go back. It’s like having to go to jail in Monopoly. You have to pass go, but can’t get $200. It sucks, and is just painful. It. Is. Toxic. Don’t do it!! As SZA says, “I might kill my ex”, cause WE DON’T NEED THEM!
