    Bloggy,

    A friend of mine is in pretty dire straits. Her relationship with her husband has been shaky for years now and she told me recently that she wants to leave him. She doesn't work because she has to take care of her son full-time (he's 2). So, she doesn't really have anywhere to go if she does leave. I was wondering if I should offer to let her and her son stay with me while she tries to get on her feet. I live alone and while my place isn't a palace, there should be room enough for all of us. Is this crazy, or do I have a responsibility as a friend?

    Bloggy,

    Because you're always asking for ages and specifics, I'll do my best here. I'm a 20-year-old guy going to college in (city redacted). I didn't start school until this year. I basically woke up one day last week and realized that I have no social life. I go to class, I have a job and I pretty much just stay at home. I live a bit off-campus in an apartment. It's quiet and everything, but I guess that's my problem. I really don't know how to meet people and it's really starting to bug me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Dear Bloggy,

    So, my girlfriend just dumped me, which sucks. The reason I'm writing isn't because I want to get her back, I don't, but because of something she said. One of the reasons she said she broke up with me is because I smoke pot. Is that really a reason to dump someone? Or was she just pulling excuses?

    -F.
