“I Have to Beg My New Husband to Touch Me”
“I married less than a year ago to a man who was a notorious bachelor. He had multiple partners over the years after a few bad marriages.”
“My Friends Aren’t Showing Up for my Wedding”
I am a 40-year-old woman from South America. I have an adult child, and I will be getting married this May. I was in hetero relationships my whole life and they were all healthy. A few years ago, I fell in love with a colleague from work (we now work for different companies) – same age, same sex. While she has been with women her whole life, she was my first. We dated for a year or so, moved in together after that, and got engaged a year later. Everything is perfect and she is the best person ever, but while I love the idea of being married to her, I’m less…
Update: “Granny’s Got to Go” Responds
It’s time again for “Dear Wendy Updates,” a feature where people I’ve given advice to in the past let us know whether they followed the advice and how they’re doing now. Today we hear from “Granny’s Got to Go” (LW2) who wrote in three years ago when she was discussing moving in with her boyfriend whose 69-year-old grandmother lived with him. She didn’t want to share a home with the grandmother. She wrote: “I know most people may not have a problem just moving in with a man and his grandmother, but I have a 12-year-old daughter and I want her to feel comfortable in her own house. My boyfriend at first wanted…
Quickies: “He Suddenly Lost Feelings for Me. Is it a Midlife Crisis?”
I met my boyfriend a little over a year ago. Everything was perfect. I mean, too-good-to-be-true perfect: no fighting, great to me and my child. Anyway, after our one year together, he started to have no feelings. Like, he was empty. He said that the only feeling he had was for his boys, and that as they get older, they don’t need him anymore and that hurts him. It makes me feel so confused because everything was great. At first I thought he sounded depressed but now I am thinking he’s having a midlife crisis (he’s 37). But I am unsure, and unsure how to help him. We still live together but…
“My Girlfriend Once Had Threesomes and I Can’t Deal”
“After dating almost a year and a half, my girlfriend, a widow, told me that she had several threesomes in her past. They occurred when her husband was ill…”
“Should I Go to My Grandfather’s Funeral if it Would Cause Family Drama?”
Dear Wendy, Believe me, I know this sounds very selfish, but maybe it is my diagnosed anxiety which is making me worry about these things which will come to pass. I recently lost contact with my bio dad and stepmother, and more recently his sister and her family. During the holidays, they — my aunt, her husband, and my cousins – started questioning me and harassing me about my dad late at night over social media, and I blocked them on all platforms. I only met them in 2017, so we’re not close-knit, but there are important reasons why I have little contact with them. Now my beloved grandfather – my bio…
“How Can I Overcome My Wife’s Guilt Over Cheating on Me?”
“I have been married for 27 years to a woman who grows more beautiful and sexy as time passes. After we had two children, my wife began a affair with a wealthy married man that lasted ten years before I discovered her infidelity.”
“I Regret Signing a Lease with My Partner”
“I recently signed a lease with my partner, “Liz.” She had to move out soon anyway due to her current lease ending, so I thought why not do it together?”
“My New Man Wants Me to Give My Dogs to a Shelter”
“We lived together for a short times with my two dachshunds, one of whom has a problem with her potty breaks and messed up his carpet.”
“My Friend’s Husband Hit On Me”
I went to a party with a bunch of friends this weekend. We are all in our early- to mid-twenties, and were doing a good amount of drinking that night.
