| 2009-11-03 | Viki | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Just beginning to understand but, I like the direction so far. He hit a few points I had not thought of...I am intreged with the continuation of the theory. I look forward to gaining a new persepective. |
| 2009-10-28 | Joan | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Great help..especially because my emotions took control of me. I can't thank you enough. |
| 2009-10-08 | Bill | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Incisive, polite, timely! |
| 2009-10-06 | Renee | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | I think this expert did a wonderful job giving insight based on the information I was able to give. Just imagine how tough it is to advise someone based on words on a page. I really got the impression that he cared and tried to help as best he could. |
| 2009-10-06 | Amber | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Bravo and thank you for softening my schema ;-) I SINCERELY appreciate your honesty and assistance. |
| 2009-10-05 | Mike S. | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Philip Belove, Ed.D., Thank you so much for all your time and help. You've given me some perspective into many things. My ex and I have chatted on the internet the last two days and we are going to remain friends. Thank you again for your insight and generosity, Mike |
| 2009-10-05 | Amber | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Insightful and honest. Thank you, Dr. Belove. |

| 2009-09-16 | Jeanne | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks. |
| 2009-09-13 | Julia | 10 | 8 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks. It sounds like you're saying there's no real "decision" to make here. That it's a deal-breaker and I need to buck up and have the tough talks, rather than the softer versions I've been having. All I can say is: ugh! :) Thanks for your time. I do appreciate it. And, by the way, in case you're curious. My child does know (his father told him in a horrible way). but he's worked through it amazingly well and is open and friendly with my boyfriend. I'm as surprised as anyone that he's not an obstacle to this relationship. but he isn't. |

| 2009-08-01 | Jennifer | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Wow, thanks. I found your response insightful and empowering for me...while encouraging a respectful relationship with my ex-spouse and a supportive relationship with my boyfriend and my children. I feel like taking this advice allows me to "take the high road" without standing up for myself and my new partner. Thanks for the help. |

| 2009-06-19 | Neil | 7 | 6 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Very fast response. Did not have the exact answer to my question, but I don't think a study has ever been done on the subject to be fair. He answered it as best he could and the answer made sense. So I will definately recomment him. |
| 2009-06-15 | Lee Ann | 10 | 10 | 9 | 10 | Yes |

Expertise
Hi. I`m Philip Belove (that is my name, really). I`m 60 and I`ve been a psychologist all my midlife, the past 25 years. My specialty has been counseling and coaching other midlife adults. I think we all figure things out as we go along, but even more so at midlife. Being between 40-ish and 60-ish and single is like being a stranger in a strange land. I`ve learned which questions help people find their own way. I created this category, I publish a dating at midlife newsletter and I write articles for various web sites. My commitment is to help people 1) understand and improve how they deal with others, 2) understand the forces that rule the relationships they are in, and 3) make the decisions which will shape, or create, or end those relationships so they achieve the goal of midlife development to finally live with personal satisfaction. I`ve been divorced twice myself. I`m in a satisfying relationship with a fine person. I`m very interested in learning about your challenges and in offering what I can.
