Welcome to Reality Chick!
Reality Chick is an advice column and blog about dating and relationships, and at RC HQ we’ve seen it all: sexless relationships, bad break-ups, no-hoper boyfriends, substance abuse, porn addiction, your partner’s dodgy past, secretly gay spouses, worst things to say during a fight, cheating, leaving unhappy marriages, long-distance dramas … and the list goes on. Dip a toe in our huge archive of Q+As or visit our sister site, Letter To My Ex, for regular blog posts on relationships, dating, break-ups – and some pretty cool free downloads. Thanks for dropping by!
