| 2009-10-08 | Todd | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank-you, your advise has been very helpful. This is the first time I've really been in this situation. Normally I'm the one who is indecisive, moreless ending relationships and can forget about it like yesterdays news. I guess out of my 33 years, I've never felt this way before, Cupid hit me square in the ass. Again thank-you for you timely response and knowledge in this matter. Sincerely Todd |

| 2009-09-12 | jennifer lee | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | thank you so much for answering my question....ive suffered so much anxiety, frustration, grief, and depression over this...your response clarified the situation for me very effectively because i tend to blame myself for everything....true, i made mistakes, but i now see that he is very bad and toxic to my physical and mental well-being...god bless you! |
| 2009-09-10 | ciara anne | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Dear Murphy, I really appreciate you taking the time to answer my question. I know deep down the answer you gave me is true. I just hoped for more from him, but that is not reality. I did need to hear this. Now I can put this in it's place and just(try to) think of him as a friend. Thank you so much :) Sincerely, Ciara |

Murphy Smith
Expertise
I can answer any general relationship / dating questions.
Experience
I used to work as a counselor in a hospital part time for 15 years (16-32 hours a week) and my job was listening to patients who had relationship problems and giving them advice to help them cope with depression, suicidal behavior and thoughts, loss of a relationship or marriage, sexual issues and diseases, unwanted pregnancy, infidelity, abusive relationships, interracial relationships, prostitution, rape, drug addiction, alcohol addiction and abuse etc. I am very inquisitive and ask alot questions on various subjects, which has made me quite knowledgeable in general. I also have read many books on relationships and dating and if I do not know the answer to a question I will research it until I find the correct answer opposed to just pretending that I know about something that I do not. I have also had alot of friends, co-workers and even strangers tell me their problems and expect a sincere and candid answer because I am told that I appear to be a person that can be trusted and I am.
Education/Credentials
High school with some college. I have worked for the government for 10 yrs and as part of my job duties I am expected and required to counsel and advice hundreds of employees.
Past/Present Clients
I have counseled and advised hundreds of people in the past 25 years on numerous subjects.
