My new advice column, Tough Love, launched today in the national news magazine TheWeek.com. I’d love for you to check it out!

This week I tackle Herpes II and the meaning of “sexy-ugly” (dear Abby I ain’t) — but I need your help for future columns.

Send me your questions on dating dilemmas, sibling snarls, workplace woes and every juicy quandary in between. I’ll be your sensible, straight-talking and occasionally snarky coach and confidant. No names are published! So jot down your conundrum and email it to toughlove@theweek.com.
