Dear Carla: This may seem petty but this situation is causing grief between me and my boyfriend. We’ve been together for six months and are happy except I take issue with the fact that he still has pictures of his ex-girlfriend on his Instagram profile. They have no children together so I see no reason why her pictures should still be there. I feel that he must have some sort of feelings for her. He says he doesn’t. He says I’m making a big deal about nothing and the pictures mean nothing. I feel if they mean nothing then why are they still there. To be fair, he does have pictures of me on there too. I am not jealous, I just want the pictures gone. I don’t care if he has them in his phone ... but in a public place like Instagram, I have a major problem. Am I missing something? —PRESS DELETE NOW

Dear Press Delete,

I agree wholeheartedly with you. Since the pictures are in a public domain then they should be deleted from his profile. He needs to understand that he is sending a subliminal message that he still feels connected to her in some way. I can’t believe that he doesn’t see that. But then again, sometimes it is difficult to step outside of one’s own scope of thinking at times. Unless there are children in the pic, I don’t know why people keep pictures of their exes on their profiles. Clean sweeps are so cleansing. Your boyfriend should try it.

Dear Carla: I have a secret. A few years ago I slept with my sister’s boyfriend while they were going through a break-up. He came to me to talk about their situation and one thing led to another. I regret it and I wanted to tell her but he begged me not to. They are still together six years later and are about to be married at the end of the year. I am the maid of honour. This is eating me inside. Should I clear my conscious and risk messing up their relationship or should I just keep quiet? —FEEL TERRIBLE

Dear Feel Terrible: If I was in your shoes I would say NOTHING. You should have said something years ago. Leave them alone. Let them get married and have a happy life. Opening this Pandora’s box serves no purpose.

Dear Carla: My child’s godmother and I had a falling out and now we do not speak. So now she has decided that she wants nothing to do with my child. They were very close and my child often asks for her but I refuse to call her because I think she’s being childish. The commitment given by a godparent is to the child not the parent. I am so angry with her for disconnecting from her godchild. I have nothing to say to her ever again but my child misses her. What should I do? — MAD

Dear Mad: This is not difficult. Simply get a mutual friend or another godparent to speak to godma. Let them convey how much the child misses her. Even allow them to set up a meeting between godmother and godchild. You guys need to ultimately sort it out because your child is the one who is suffering because of the actions of the adults in his/her life.

Dear Carla: I can’t stand the music that these young people are listening to these days. The language is deplorable and very degrading, especially towards females. Parents need to know what their children are listening to. It’s awful and it has an impact on how they carry themselves. The radio stations play a large role in this and need to clean up their act too. — DISGUSTED

Dear Disgusted: My mama used to say that about my music when I was teenager. I go through my daughter’s soundcloud and cringe at times, so I know what you mean. When I hear her listening to it, I make her shut it off. But the truth is, they still find ways. Radio stations play what’s popular. They wouldn’t be successful if they didn’t.
