‘People get shopping addictions, but they don’t get wearing ones’ – Expert advice on how to kick your haul habit

‘Is this what you’re like when you shop?” my friend asks gingerly. We’re in Mr Price, and I am making my way up the arts and crafts aisle in the manner of someone on a TV show where they have been given 10 minutes to fill their basket with as much as they can, in the knowledge that it will all be free. With slightly hysterical abandon, I’m yanking packets of stickers, colouring books, and adhesive crystals off the shelves .

Sex & Relationships

Asking for a friend: ‘I love my boyfriend but he flirts with other girls and says I’m nagging when I complain. Should I end it?’

Q: After my last relationship, I lost trust in people, especially male figures. I found it hard to move on and to forget about the past ugly experiences. Last year, I started a fresh relationship and I love my boyfriend, and he claims to love me too. The issue is he keeps flirting with girls and blocks them from viewing his status each time he wants to post me on his page. I’ve complained about his attitude, but he keeps saying each time that I’m always nagging and behaving childishly. I’m getting bored of the relationship and the complaints because he takes what he wants and doesn’t take my complaints seriously. I feel like I’m losing any trust I had in him. Please help me try to decide what to do. Should I move on with my life and end the relationship or should I stay and hope he changes? And if I do decide to stay, how do I make him change?
