Not many people could juggle graduate school and two jobs.

I counseled a 75-year-old married, bi-sexual man who was having a gay affair and was not having sex with his wife to continue his secret life because that seemed like the kindest thing to do. But a young woman embarking on married life, hoping to start a family with her husband, needs to at least know he's already living a double life.

When people are really drunk they have a propensity to harm themselves and others - they fall off buildings, they drive into other cars.
Emily Yoffe
Keep in mind that when you tell people to come see you, they might not get the idea about when it's time to leave.
Emily Yoffe
I have this wonderful capacity just to walk away from my mistakes and not dwell on them.
Emily Yoffe
I'm wondering how someone who goes around wearing a wedding ring succeeded in the dating pool. Normally a wedding ring sends a flashing Do Not Enter message - except to those looking for flings with married people.
Emily Yoffe
You may think you're married to a woman, but she's really an overgrown child.
Emily Yoffe
I do feel haunted by some of the letters and the suffering people have endured. But I keep in mind that the people who write to me know that I am a journalist and an on-line advice columnist, not a social service professional.
