He has a child with his girlfriend of three years off and on and she constantly tricks him into believing the only way he can see his child is if he is with her. He doesn't believe anything anyone tells him about his rights as a father and continues to fall freely into her web of lies. How can I reach him? - 503 257-2745 T AND C AUTO SALES • LICENSED • BONDED • INSURED Friend Wanting to Help; On-line Reader Dear Friend: | Sometimes men become stuck on stupid with women that have their children. If he's being tricked, it’s because he allows it. If he falls into her lies, then he allows it. He knew enough to make a baby and he knows his rights as long as the internet, television and newspapers keep running. You w on't be able to reach him because he's comfortable, enjoying himself and gladly taking everything he's being served. 503-550-3841 A T T E N T IO N !!!

I’m in the process of divorcing my hus­ band after eight years of marriage. He's the only man I’ve ever been intimate with. Now 1 have a little freedom and 1 feel as if I'm losing my mind. On one hand, I have a new friend that I haven’t gone all the way with. On the other hand the ex-husband of one of my friends has revealed that he wants to be with me and has always liked me. I'm attracted to him but know this would cause problems. I’ve been celibate for seven months and need to know if I should be with him and keep it a secret or take a cold shower? —Hot W ashington /T he P ortland O bserver Fun on National Night Out Bertrand DeBruge (right) of the Portland Parks Bureau applies a temporary tattoo to the hand of Rashawn Khalil Fair on National Night Out at Peninsula Park in north Portland.

If you do anything in the darkness, it will come to light and rip you apart like a train wreck. You’re entitled to have fun, enjoy yourself and have a healthy sex life but make sure you protect yourself and keep your thinking cap on during the heat of the moment.
