Sometimes talking to a stranger reveals insights in oneself that do not manifest even when confiding with a best friend. There is a natural reticence to exposing our vulnerabilities. Pride and embarrassment often prevent us from telling intimacies about ourselves to our immediate family and friends. And if we do disclose these, 'secrets', the response elicited from such revelations may not actually be answers at all. Or advice. The reply may be tempered by a point of view or closeness or previous knowledge of your situation. Asking Auntie Jane for comment has none of these restraints or preconceived notions regarding your personal needs or wants. Her answers are forthright and sincere based upon the directness of your query. Perhaps not always the suggestion you want to hear, but given with wisdom, understanding and insightful thought that you too can solve whatever dilemma is causing shadow in your life. Give her the pertinent information and be honest with yourself, there is an answer. There is a solution. Keep the faith. She will respond to all. |

| Dear Auntie Jane - |
| I love my wife. The only problem with our marriage is she never enjoys sex like I do. We are in our forties and if I get it once a month I consider myself lucky. I have thought about looking outside my marriage to be sexually satisfied, I just wouldn't want to hurt her if she found out. Any help would be much appreciated. |
|
Greg Dear Greg - |
|
At your age the two of you should be having sex much more often. Has she been to a doctor to see if everything is working properly with her body. That would be my first suggestion. You sound like you love her very much, so having an affair might not work for you. Have you tried to sexually turn her on with arousing her with a vibrator, or taking her somewhere different than your bedroom. Some women take longer to be aroused and stimulated, patience and keep trying different ways, reading and watching sex movies together may help. |

| I am forty years old, divorced and love sex. My married girlfriends want to know every detail of my dates. Even who I decide to bed. I believe that their own sex life is so dull that they try and relive my sexual encounters for themselves. I can't go for a coffee without them begging for a blow by blow description of my sex life. Should I just tell them nothing? |
|
Melanie Dear Melanie - |
|
How sad for these women, maybe if they took more time on their own sex lives it would improve for them all. Just tell them you don't kiss and tell. Unless you enjoy making them envious of your sexual tryst. |

| Summer is coming soon. We have a summer home and our large families on both sides begin to book their two weeks with us. This is becoming a nightmare for my husband and kids. The last few years it has been a constant flow for two months. I never get any down time to enjoy myself as I am cooking doing laundry ect. every day. How can we enjoy this year without having company ? |
|
Anita Dear Anita - |

Guess you have never heard of the word" NO." E-mail all the relatives and just say fully booked this year. |

| My mother is coming to visit us. It only takes her a few days to have our household turned upside down and has us all fighting between ourselves . This has been going on for years, now even the kids have made plans to be away while she is here. My husband tolerates her to a point then just works late so he doesn't have to listen to her. That leaves me alone to deal with her. I feel guilty as she is getting on in age and she may only have a few more visits, she always makes sure she tells us this every visit. I truly believe she will outlive me, as she has me stressed out before she even arrives. |
|
Midge Dear Midge - |
|
Before she arrives phone her and explain the rules. Be honest and tell her why the kids will be away and she has to stop causing trouble in the family. If she can do this she is welcome, if not tell her not to come. Be firm and don't back down. Sounds like the whole family has let this lady run your household far to long. She may miss this year, but be sure she will want to come next year. Just make sure to tell her the rules again. |

| Dear Auntie Jane - |
| My husband of twenty years is having an affair. She is much younger than him, he said he is not in love with her and loves me. Saying it was strictly a sexual thing , and he would give her up if I forgave him, and didn't ask him to move out of our home. Our kids are in college so don't live at home. I don't even want him around I'm so hurt. Should I give him another chance to make this right? |
|
Always been faithful Dear ABF - |
|
Questions, will he keep her if you ask him to leave? Can you forgive him? Is this his first affair? The hurt will fade in time, is he worth fighting for or would you be happier without him. Get away and give yourself time to come to the right decision for you. Then get on with life. |

| Dear Auntie Jane - |
| I am in my mid sixties, widowed for a year . I live in a retirement home, so have many friends. Most of them are women, but a few men. One of these men seems to be interested in me and has asked me out for dinner. He is younger than me by a few years, seems like a nice man. Do you think I should go? I am thinking if it doesn't work out we would still see each other as we live two doors away. |

Age has no boundaries, go and enjoy the evening. If it does work out, then you don't have far to go to visit each other. Live each day as there is no tomorrow. |

| My son has gotten in trouble with the police. He wants me to lie about where he was when three boys beat up another kid. He was one of them. Should I do this to help him out in this situation? He is a good boy. |
|
A loving Mom Dear ALM- |
|
A good boy doesn't get involved with two others to beat up one kid. If it had been one on one that would have been a fair fight. Boys will be boys. But if you lie for him that is not teaching him anything. Let him take the consequence that is the only way for him to learn the lessons in life. |

We have
friends that always want us to vacation with them. It was fine
when neither one had children. Now that we have kids the
same ages, the problem is that they spoil theirs rotten and we
discipline ours when needed. The holidays end up with our kids
nervous and wondering why they can't do what the others get away with. So we
get frustrated and don't enjoy what should be a restful time .
How can we get out of this years holidays without losing their
friendship. We have all been friends since college.
Barry and Candice |

Dear B C - |
|
If they are old friends, they should understand where you guys are coming from. Be honest and explain this is hard on your kids and you both. A holiday is to bond as a family and be stress free. Say that you have made other plans this year. Maybe by the following year they will have learned how to discipline theirs, so their not brats. The parents are the problem. |

| We are a gay couple who have been together for four years. My partner wants us to get married and have a child. My parents said they will have nothing to do with this child and don't want us to get married either. We have tried everything to bring them around to our thinking. Any ideas? |
|
Two people in love Dear TPIL - |
|
STOP, trying to please you're parents. Two people who have been together for four years know what makes them happy. Bringing a baby into a loving couples life would be a blessing to all that love you. Hopefully when you get married, they will see how happy the two of you are. If not they will be the losers and miss out on a grandchild. |

| Dear Auntie Jane - |
| I am physically attracted to a man I met while walking near my home. I am happily married to a wonderful man. I find I have started walking daily in order to meet up with him as he walks everyday . His wife works, he is semi retired and works from home. He asked me the other day to join him at his home for coffee. I feel it would end up with more than just coffee. Should I go the next time he asks? |
|
It would only be for sex and good conversation Dear IWOBFSAGC - |
|
What else is left , you seemed to have covered everything except complications from cheating on that wonderful husband that you say you have. Change your walking habits before you do something you may regret. You can get sex and conversation at home can you not? But then again that is your choice to make. |

| Dear Auntie Jane - |
| Am I being foolish. I have a neighbor who I really like as a person and we have coffee together once or twice a week. When she comes to my place before she leaves she asks if she can borrow an egg or a cup of flour. Its always something that she is going to bake or cook. The problem is she never replaces what she borrows. How can I stop her, as groceries are expensive. This goes on all the time and it is starting to really bother me.. |
|
Mattie Dear Mattie - |
|
Next time she asks to borrow something tell her you just have enough for your baking or cooking today, keep saying this every time she asks. Eventually she will get the hint and stop asking. Don't give in. She is what people call a mooch. |

| Dear Auntie Jane - |

I found out my
husband has been cheating on me. When I confronted him he denied
it. I hired a private investigator and he followed him when he
went out of town on business. The pictures he brought back
proved that he was with a women half his age in many different
places mostly in compromising positions. When I showed these
pictures to my husband he started to yell and scream
and told me if I used these for a divorce I would find myself
buried alive in concrete. He is a well know man in our
town and wealthy , and knows all the police here. I now am afraid for my life
and don't know where to turn.
Scared Wife |
| Dear Scared Wife- |
|
I am neither a lawyer or the police. But this is what I would do. As soon as he leaves for work get your things and leave. First stop at the bank, then drive to the next town or city that he is not known in. Go to the police and get a restraining order against him. Then get a lawyer and file for divorce and let the lawyer deal with him. Take the photos for leverage for the lawyer and police. Don't let him know where you are staying. Never meet him alone. Good luck. |

| We have been married for five years and I want to start a family, my husband wants to wait as he wants to have a few more years on our own. He comes from a big family and there are lots of kids from his siblings. He says we see enough babies around at family gatherings, I am going to be thirty next month and he is forty. I want at least two or three children. I guess my biological clock is ticking, Am I being unfair to him? |
|
want my own Dear WMO - |
|
Maybe he is being unfair to you? Does he really want kids of his own or happy without them. How long does he want to wait? At his age now he will be at retirement age by the time the kids go off to college. I would make sure you both are on the same page at wanting a family of your own. |

Concerned Mother Dear CM - |

Since I am not a mind reader , I don't know. Why not ask her and if she wants you to know and feels comfortable in telling you her sexual preference she will. Otherwise what difference will it make in your relationship with her? It's called unconditional love. |

I was not one of the females that
wrote you about Valentines, but the man I love didn't remember
to send me even a card. I know what to expect from a married man but
thought a phone call or flowers would have made my day. Now he
wonders why I have broken up with him. I told him my feelings
and he laughed, and said how silly I was. Didn't I enjoy
the sex we had, and he didn't think I needed a reminder as it
was good. I have read your replies to many letters and had a
good comeback and was proud of myself for my response. I told
him "NO" it wasn't that good and and I have had better. I hung
up before he had a chance to do so. Thank you AJ. for all the
good advice you have given out. Never date a married man |

| Dear Auntie Jane - |
| I cannot believe the letters I received from all you girls and women out there. In regards to Valentines day. So I have chosen to answer you all as this advice fits everyone whatever age you may be, if you are a girlfriend, lover, fiancée or wife. |
| Dear ALL - |
|
If the men in you're life cannot do something on this special day for you, then there is something very wrong with them, Flowers, card, chocolates or taking you out for a nice dinner or making you one at home. Doesn't take much to please the lady in your life. If he is the boyfriend dump him while you can, lover the same. Fiancée? Have a second look before planning the wedding. Wife, I have never advocated holding back sex as punishment but this is a very good reason to do so. Tell him you have no time while you're doing the dishes. Or let him cook his own meals for a couple of months and do his own laundry. I'm sure by next year he will run to the flower shop, make reservations or cook for his sweetheart. After being with the same man for years, my husband never forgets. |

| I have been seeing my boyfriend for two years and in that two years I have caught him twice cheating on me. He said once we are married he will be faithful to me. My girl friend told me he tried to get her to go to bed with her also. I love him and don't know if I should believe him or not. What should I do? |
|
Cathy Dear Cathy - |
|
Three times that you know about, how many other times has he been unfaithful to you that you don't know about? It's time to move on girl, what happens once married and you have a couple of kids and you find out he is still playing around. You deserve better than what this man has to offer. |

| Dear Auntie Jane - |
| My husband's family has never accepted me into the family. We have been married for three years and they keep asking my husband when we are going to start a family. They are putting pressure on him every time they see him. I have stopped going to family dinners as I feel unwelcome, so they don't have a chance to ask me. I would tell them its none of their business if and when we decide to start a family. Besides I will not involve them when I do have children as they are down right rude to me. Any advice? |
|
Anita Dear Anita - |
|
Your husband should suggest to his family that if they cannot be polite to you, they will certainly miss out on the grandchildren when you both decide to have them. They have no right to put pressure on him as this is between the two of you. Children should benefit from grandparents of both sides and the less friction the better. Have you really tried to get involved with his family? |

| Dear Auntie Jane - |
| My sister is getting married in the spring. She has asked me to be her matron of honor, and the dress she wants me to wear and pay for is not flattering to my full figure. I have told her this and all she said was then lose weight. I am 5' 5' and 150 lbs but do have big boobs. I went to my dress maker and she would design a dress that fits much nicer and would blend well with the others in the wedding party. Am I being unreasonable as I am a stay at home Mom and would like to wear the dress after the wedding? |
|
Sis Dear SIS - |
|
Doesn't sound to me that you are overweight. Have you shown the design to your sister? Usually the matron of honors dress is different in style and colors to compliment the other girls. Sounds like your sister is getting stressed out about nothing. Brides tend to do this. Be honest with her and tell her what you have told me. |

| Dear Auntie Jane - |
| I am in a relationship with this guy that doesn't know anything about satisfying me sexually. I give him oral sex, but he has never given me any in return. How can I get him interested in going down on me? My last boyfriend was so good at this and I miss this part of sex. Help! |
|
Love and enjoy the whole act Dear LAETWA - |
|
Next time you plan to have sex with him, run a bath and invite him to join you in the tub. Slowly start talking about how oral sex gets you sexually aroused and he will be the one to reap the benefits when you get so turned on. If he doesn't enjoy giving you this sexual enjoyment then maybe see if your old boyfriend is still around. Most guys love to keep their girlfriends happy and content. Mean while your boyfriend will be nice and clean. |

| I don't know if this subject is taboo here? My partner has been talking about having sex with other couples. I find talking about this subject makes me very excited and wonder if we did it, would it ruin our good marriage that we have together? |
|
L@M Dear L@M - |
|
You say you have a good marriage, will it be good after you both see each with other partners? Only the two of you can decide this. Thoughts or talking about it is still in the 'fantasy' area, no harm in fantasy but if you do go ahead then make sure you have protected sex and no pictures. They could come back to haunt both parties later. To each his own. If I were you I would think long and hard before making a decision like this one. |

| I have had a boyfriend for two years he is forty myself thirty-five, I caught him in a lie , him not knowing that I knew he made up a totally different story on what he was doing that day. I feel that I can never trust him anymore. Should I confront him or not? |
|
Katie Dear Katie - |
|
Once the trust is broken in a relationship it is very hard to get that trust back. You have to decide if he lied once (that you know about) will he continue to do so. You never said what the lie was about. Cheating is a no brainer dump him and move on. I would be up front with him if you know for sure he lied to you and tell him why he is being dumped. |

NO! Don't sleep with him let him go as he will hold you to ransom every time he wants his own way. He seems very immature and spoiled. Start dating other guys and if he is for you he will find his way back if not then he isn't the one for you. Males are like buss's there will always be another coming. |

I am gay and been in a relationship with a women for three years, We
came out to our families last month. My family has excepted this
without making any big deal and welcomed her into our family. Her
parents not so much. They want her to join her family at Christmas
but not me. They say they will disinherited her and will never
accept me. My family want us to join them for the holidays and
I want us to go. But don't want to break up a family but feel
they are not being fair to her. There is a considerably
inheritance involved . Should I tell her to go to her family and I
will go to mine? We are planning on being married next year, Hurting |
| Dear Hurting - |
|
You both should solve this before you plan on getting married. Doesn't sound like their feelings will change marriage or not. I would plan on going to your family this year and her parents might change by next Christmas, just don't count on it or their money. Some love to have a hold by promising money. They might see that their daughter is happy and hopefully they will be happy for her. Otherwise they will be the loser for being so foolish. The best to you both. Love always comes before money. |

| I am a divorced women, having an affair with a married man. With Christmas coming I want him to spend some time with me. I gave him the choice to pick either Christmas Eve or Boxing Day with me. He has small children so I don't expect to see him Christmas Day. He just told me that it was impossible to see me over the holidays. I think this is unfair and he should make arrangements to spend time with me. Do you agree? |
|
Want to see my lover Dear WTSML- |
|
Sounds like this is a one sided affair, only when it suits him. As a lover you are at the bottom of his priority list. Especially when it's has to do with him and family. You don't have a choice in this. His family should come first naturally and if this fits into your lifestyle then learn to be lonely on holidays. Why not look for a man who can fill all your needs? |

I am cooking my first Christmas dinner this year ,and very
nervous. My parents and in-laws as well as siblings are invited.
We will have a total of sixteen people. I have never cooked for
this many at one time. My mother is a great cook and has offered
to help me. My husband thinks if I ask my Mom then I should
include his Mom in the preparation as well. She would just make
me more nervous being there. Have you got any solutions? Young bride |
| Dear Y B - |
|
Organization is the first rule in entertaining. Second is delegating. Invite your Mother-in-law to look after the dessert and let her choose what to make at her place. Get your husband to help set up the table the night before. Ask your Mom to come over in the morning to help with the turkey and stuffing and get the veggies and potatoes ready with your husband. Once the turkey is in the oven it cooks itself except for basting. Make sure you have a sharp knife for carving, then the gravy is all that is left to do. Cooking for two or sixteen isn't much different only the quantities. If you relax so will your guests. |

Could you tell me what to do. I have a dog who I take with me

can't bring my dog. Should I just arrive with the dog anyways? Dog lover |
| Dear DL - |
|
You have been told not to bring the dog, how much clearer do you need to be told? Why would you want to spoil the day for your boyfriend and family because of your rudeness. You have an alternative, stay home and have dinner with the dog. Add gravy to the kibbles and bits. |

| Christmas
will be here before we know it. My problem is I spend hours
picking out gifts for my family members. I enjoy looking for
something unique and within my budget. My sister-in-law doesn't
enjoy shopping and leaves her shopping till all the nice
things are already chosen. Then to top it off she re-uses last
years wrapping paper without even a bow attached. I told my
husband he should talk to his sister and set her straight about
buying something nice and useful for us. Am I out of line to
suggest this? She ruins every Christmas for me. Thoughtful person |
| Dear TP - |
|
It seems to be your problem not your husband's, why not suggest to her to give you and yours a gift card this year as you understand she doesn't get off buying gifts? Or better still suggest maybe its time to stop buying for each other and just enjoy being together over a glass of wine. You should not let her ruin the holidays for you, only you can do this by letting this bother you. Is a bow that important? Christmas should be about enjoying family and friends, not about gifts. About used paper, have you never heard of re-cycling? |

| Dear Auntie Jane - |
| I come from a large family and we rotate who cooks Christmas dinner. It is our turn this year and I have suggested that everyone bring a dish along with a bottle of wine. My husband is mad and not talking to me because I did this on my own without consulting him. He said it looks like he is cheap and wants me to tell everyone not to bring anything. We can afford to do this on our own but I then have no help from him, he just sits and doesn't even help mixing drinks. So I am left tired and don't enjoy the day. How can I get him to understand that the family is getting too large for one person to do it all. |

He wants to leave his wife and wants me to leave his son. My mother-in-law is a bitch so I don't care about her, but hate to hurt my husband. How can I keep them both happy without upsetting the apple cart? |

Caring wife and lover Dear CWAL - |
|
Upsetting the apple cart? "Wow "you certainly have upset this family if you choose to leave your husband. The father-in-law sounds as immature as you do and he should know better. Nothing will help to keep them both happy. You say that your husband is a great guy, why not treat him like one. Stop and think very careful about your life and stop this affair before you ruin a whole family. |

| My sister and I had a great relationship until I started to see this guy. She doesn't like him and is very rude to him when he comes over. I have tried to ask her why and she will not discuss it with me. How can I make her like him? |
|
Sister Dear Sister- |
|
You cannot make someone like another person, so stop trying. Have you been neglecting you're sister since hooking up with this fellow. Maybe she feels she has lost you as her sister and friend. Make sure that you don't spend all the time with him and start making plans for just the two of you to do things together like you did before he came on the scene. Many girls forget about other friends after getting a boyfriend. Boys come and go but you will always have a sister so keep the communication on going with her. No excuse for rudeness though. |

|
Bored and wanting Dear BAW - |
|
Have you thought of any other ways of doing something with your life? A job, volunteering or getting a hobby that won't jeopardize your marriage? If you decide on having an affair you might get more than you bargained for and end up single raising your children on your own. Not a good idea for boredom. |

| How can I get my husband to take me out to dinner and a movie once in awhile? He works hard but on the week-end he just wants to sit and watch sports. He says he is tired and I should be happy he brings his pay check home to me. We are in our early forties and I feel after looking after the kids all week I am entitled to a bit of entertainment on the week-end. Any help would be appreciated. |
|
Bored stiff Dear Bored Stiff - |

Start making plans with girlfriends to go out, then let him stay home and babysit. A bored housewife can get into all kinds of trouble out on her own. Let him read this and I bet he will get off the couch pretty quick. |

|
Unhappy and fat Dear UAF - |
|
Go to your Doctor and get his help. Sometimes it is good to go to Weight Watcher or another weight loss clinic as you meet others with the same problem. And they weigh you weekly. Be honest with your husband and ask him for his support as you want to get sex back into your marriage. |

Are you for real? You expect him to be faithful when he is having an affair while your both married to others? If he does have another one on the side there may be more than one. You say your faithful to your lover but not to your husband. All I can say is have safe sex or you could be caught with some disease that would be hard to be explained. |

| I am twelve years old and my Mom told me to write to you and ask your advice. I want to start wearing makeup. She says I am too young. My friends all wear some and I feel so out of place. Please help me change her mind. |
|
Erin Dear Erin - |
|
Maybe your Mom would be fine if you just put a small amount of eyeliner on with a light lipstick to start with. Summer time most girls go very light on makeup as the natural look is much nicer. Less is best so if she see that you are only applying a slight amount she may allow it. Just don't overdo it and Mom might give you a little bit of slack. |

| How do you
tell when a friendship is over? I have known a man friend for
over two years and have became sexually involved with him for
over a year. He phoned me most nights and we would talk
for hours if we weren't seeing each other that night. Now the
texts and calls only happen a few times a week and we are only
seeing each other occasionally for sex. Am I wrong in thinking
he isn't interested in me anymore?
I am being faithful to him |
| Dear IABFTH- |

Sounds to me he is interested when he feels Horney, otherwise not so much. Time for you to move on to greener pastures. |

| I think I am
over my depth with this fellow I met through the internet. We
have been communicated for three months. Our conversations
have been very sexual. In
person I probably wouldn't have been so brave in telling him
what I enjoy sexually. Now he wants to visit me on his holidays
and has said what he would love to do to me . Now I don't know
if I can live up to his expectations or not. What should I do? Scared |
| Scare Dear Scared - |
|
Just keep in mind that you are the one to call the shots. If he goes over the line in what you don't want to do then you have to be honest and tell him your limits. Sounds to me if you told him things you like they can't be far from what you expect sexually. Hopefully you have done some checking up on this person if not let someone know about him coming. He could be a very nice man who you have turned on with your sexual banter. Hopefully he isn't a sadist or rapist. Do your homework before you meet him. |

| I am a
women in my late fifties, I have been a widow for three years.
My husband and I had a wonderful marriage and both enjoyed sex
very much. I have had a few affairs but have never found a man
that could satisfy me and they have all been over sixty. I think
I am far to young to give up that part of my life. Do you think
it would be appropriate to look for a younger man? Betty |
| Dear Betty - |
|
Age doesn't mean a man cannot satisfy you, you just have not found the right person to turn you on. Younger or older what ever you try doesn't mean that one of these men will know what buttons to push. Give it time as I'm sure that your husband learned along the way. Don't be afraid to guide your lovers to what you want and expect. Be patient, Rome wasn't built in a day. You have many more years of sexual bliss to look forward to. |

husband has a problem with his sex drive which is nil. We are in
out forties and I have a huge sexual appetite. I have asked him
to see a doctor but he is too embarrassed to talk about it. I
have threatened to have an affair, and all he says is go ahead.
What should I do as I'm getting so frustrated and have started
looking for a sex partner. Horney Wife |
|
Dear HW - |
|
Your husband could have a medical problem and is far too young not to be having sex. Or he may have lost interested in you? Any signs of him having an affair? Is he worried about his job? Make an appointment and go see your doctor and tell him the problem and then get your husband in to see him on his own. An affair is just putting a band aid on this problem. But then again a band aid is better than nothing. |

Would like to make it a foursome Dear WLTMIAF - |

Why not be honest and tell her what you have told me. Then give her a chance to listen to all of you. If she is on the same old problems speak up and tell her that you all have heard this one before. If she doesn't take the advice then she just likes to listen to herself talk. |

How can I get her to talk to me? |

Dear Barry - |
| "Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive." Leave her a message apologizing for the mistake and ask her to give you another chance. Then leave her alone, she may come around after a time. You will have to build up her trust again if she gives you a second chance. If not then you have learned a very useful lesson for the future relationships that come your way. |

| Dear Auntie Jane - |
| I am trying to decide if I should tell my wife about the affair that I am having with a co-worker. As I am feeling guilty about it. It started out just going out for a drink after work with her and she always had to get home to her husband and kids. Now she has made up excuses to be away for longer periods of time. She wants to plan a week-end away and will say she is with a girlfriend. I don't have an excuse that my wife would believe and just can't get away. She is putting pressure on me daily and I am starting to feel trapped about this affair. Should I come out and tell my wife so I can move on and stop seeing this women. I am afraid she will get very angry and phone my wife if I break up with her. |
|
Greg Dear Greg - |
|
So you feel guilty and under pressure and want to make you're wife feel terrible. If she is married I'm sure she wouldn't want her husband to find out about this affair, so I wouldn't worry about it. Be honest and break it off as it seems like you have bitten off more than you can chew. And maybe think twice about having anymore affairs. |

| I work in an office with mostly women. I am finding that some of the women are turning me on sexually. I have only been with men and I'm wondering if I'm bi-sexual? One girl in particular seems to flirt and has asked if I would like to meet for drinks at a bar she goes to. I looked it up and found it to be a gay bar. Should I let on that I know or just play dumb and meet her there ? |
|
Wondering what it would be like Dear WWIWBL - |
|
I'm not saying you shouldn't experiment and find out about yourself sexually. But I wouldn't get into it with someone you work with. Could get very embarrassing if it didn't work out for the two of you. Remember you have to work with all these co-workers and she might be one to kiss and tell. Sounds like she knows her sexuality if she hangs out in a gay bar. Why play dumb, she would appreciate your honesty. |

Every girl has the right to decide about her virginity, not a guy. So don't let any boyfriend decide what is right for you. At fifteen you will have many boyfriends to choose from through the years. You and you alone will know when its right for you. Just enjoy the dating and friendships now. |

| Need some advice. I have been having a hard time with my mother-in-law since I met her four years ago. I know she doesn't like me and always talks about her first daughter-in-law who she still says was the nicest person. I don't mind that she still see her and likes her, but tired of hearing about it. When I comment to my husband he says just to ignore her . I am at the stage that I don't want to even see her as each visit we have she brings this girl up. Am I wrong in wanting my husband to tell her to stop? |
|
Valerie Dear Valerie - |

What is wrong with your voice? Tell her you are glad that she still has a relationship with this girl, but the subject does not interest you or your husband. And that after four years you two have moved on and your husband agrees, so she should move to other subject around the two of you. |

My son has been married for 10 months. Even before the wedding, I
insisted they go for couples counseling. They went, but I did not
ask for any details. Rebecca |
| Dear Rebecca - |
|
It is great to be supportive of family. Just try not to take sides with the two of them. If they needed counseling before the marriage it does sound rocky now. Any marriage needs an adjustment period, you might want to help them understand if they have a common goal? Money problems can often lead to separations. There are often small casual jobs on sites like Craigslist and local unemployment offices always have available help. Will your son take any job temporarily? He needs to start somewhere. If your daughter-in-law is working then he needs to help out at home. And they do sound immature in solving their own problems. They have to learn to have respect for each other and to stand on their own. It’s fine for you to help out occasionally as long as they don’t become dependent on the family for money and you don’t become an enabler. Jobs are scarce but sometimes you have to take one that is below your level just to pay your way. Ten months
married, they will either work this marriage out or not. You can’t
be the one to make it work for them. Depression needs to be
diagnosed by a medical doctor. Then some action can be taken, but it
seems they are just caught up in a hopeless situation right now and
do need some direction. |

| I need help. I
can't talk to anyone about my problem. I make food and then put it

have gone as far as making a batch of cookies and eaten them all
before he gets home from work. He asked me the other day what
happened to the roast I bought recently and I had to lie and
say it was in the freezer and said I would cook it for dinner
tomorrow. Then I had to go buy another one to cook for him. I am
overweight and keep gaining. What can I do to break this habit? Abnormal I know |
| Dear AIK - |
|
Get to your Doctor and tell him what is going on, before you have health problems with your weight. They have groups you can join as this is not only your problem. Talking to the doctor is the first step and he will direct you in the right direction. One of the main reasons for overeating is boredom frustrations in everyday life and low self esteem. You can overcome this with the right help. Meanwhile get your hubby a gift certificate for one for a good steak dinner. |

| I’d
like to know your opinion on a very personal situation. A close
married friend of mine recently shared a confidentially; that she
has a lesbian girlfriend who she calls her 'friend with benefits' .
Although I disapproved initially, I am now thinking of having
a similar relationship. I am 42 and also married but have read
that a lot of married women are having no-strings-attached
relationships. I have not been with another woman before, so not
sure how to start looking for a partner. Do you think as my first
experience, I should enjoy more being with an older woman or a
younger woman? I haven't shared my intentions with my friend
and am not planning to. Dee |
| Dear Dee - |
|
Married women have affairs, sometimes with other women. It is still an affair even with a same sex partner if you are married. A few things to think about before you decide; Are you just wanting to experiment with someone different from your husband? Are you sure you are attracted to other women sexually? Or is this intrigue only a reflection of frustration with your current sex life. And I could ask if you are thinking about this NSA thing because your friend is doing it? Are you willing to lose your husband and family if you are found out? If you decide to have a relationship with another woman I wouldn’t be telling anyone, even your close friend. I would give you the same advice if it was a male you were thinking of having this ‘affair’ with. You are the only one who can make this decision. As for an age range sensuality can be present in women of all ages, lesbians included. You can't go to Lesbians-R-Us and pick one out. Sometimes you can throw caution to the winds and go for it, but it may not be gentle breezes. |

| My lover is a real sweetheart, but not into oral sex and I really enjoy it. How can I get him to participate? He always seems to enjoy when I give it to him and then rolls over and wants sex. We have been seeing each other for a few months now and I always feel unfulfilled when he won't give me what I want. How do I get him to make me feel special? |
|
Amorous Dear Amorous - |
|
By your question are you just his lover and he really isn't your lover. Before he arrives have a long bath and phone him while in the tub. Talk to him about what you would like him to do when he arrives. Let him take the lead and lay back and let him know how much you enjoy the oral part of the sex act. If he doesn't take the hint drop him and find someone that wants to make you feel like you will make him feel. Sex is a two way street.

Tiffany Dear Tiffany - |

Don't waste your time with men that have a growth attached to them. You will always find married men whose wife's don't understand them. That line is so old, I wish they all had the brains for a new saying. Live-ins are in the same category. Join something that interests you and with summer coming lots of outdoor sports will be starting. Just don't look in bars as all you will find there is drinkers. Better single that have someone who is already taken. When you least expect the love of you're life to appear he will. Stop looking and just enjoy each challenge. |

|
Betty Dear Betty - |

What I get out of your letter is you don't have much self confidence as you mentioned twice that you were afraid he will leave you. No commitment after two years on either side, seems that either way he isn't into you as you to him. Maybe its time to call him on a commitment or move on to someone that is willing to do so. Or just go on wondering when and if he will leave you. |

There are no rules as far as I'm aware of on how many times a day, week or month that you can have sex. The old saying "use it or lose it may apply."

fifty-five year old guy divorced twice and my girlfriend wants a

to go down that path again. My two ex wives have the houses as I
gave up everything and now have to live in someone else's place. I

I'm selfish and if I love her it would be easy to make this
commitment. She is good in bed. Any help would be appreciated. Bob |
| Dear Bob - |

With your track record of two ex wives, I would suggest you find a place of your own and spend some time thinking of what you want to happen in your life. Most men want to be loved so jump into a relationship just to have someone. If it's the sex you are after that is easy to find. If it is a long term commitment I don't think you would be writing me if she is the one you want to spend the rest of your life with. She sounds like she is a stepping stone for you as you said you like her not love her. Spend time living alone and get to know yourself before any commitment. |

with two guys, one has a very good job, but not that great in bed.
The other is out of work and has been for six months so I have to
foot the bill if we go out. He is fantastic in bed though, so I feel

start a family in the next few years and wonder if I would be wrong
to pick my gigolo over the one that would always look after me and
our family. Ginger |

Maybe neither one is the right one for you. I would start dating other guys and see what is out there. If you want to work and support the gigolo and have great sex then maybe he is the one for you. Lousy sex and money isn't the combo I would look for in a partner either. Don't settle so quickly, look around and see who is out there that has some of both attributes. |

Hello! You are in second place, his wife will always come first. So get used to it, if you are going to pick a married man to have an affair with .

Sorry you are missing out with the laughter in you're sex life. Laughter is the best medicine for a healthy lifestyle. Sex also keeps you young in heart and body.

If that doesn't work tell him sex is a sport and you might start looking for new team mates. |

How many times have I heard that my wife doesn't understand me. Yes she does get half of everything, but are you only giving her a half hearted effort in the bedroom? I get a distinct feeling that perhaps you might expect her to be pleasing you when it should be mutual. You could visit a sexual counselor together. Or she could go see her gynecologist to see if she has something wrong for her not to attain many climaxes having sex. If she is fine then maybe you need to learn a few techniques on how to turn her on and enjoy sex with you. OMO. |

If this guy hasn't paid any attention to you in six months, you should have got the message by now. He probably has someone at home that is more interesting than you. Just for the future never go to a bar that a guy goes to with his buddies hoping to get picked up. Look for another place to hunt. |

I don't see any reason why not, hopefully you and your ex are on speaking terms and still get along. If it was an amicable separation he probably won't mind.

Your walking a narrow line here, what happens if you do fall in love with a lover. At fifty I am assuming your life is established with a loving husband and children.

If he has been having unprotected sex with all the office and your even contemplating going to bed with him your crazy.

Maybe it's because he doesn't know how to turn you on, or is not taking the time to arouse you sexually when having sex. Some women take longer to reach an orgasm than others. It is usually because the man is inexperienced at making love, and the women has not experienced a good lover yet. You never mentioned love in your e-mail so maybe if you are not in love move on it's only been two months with this guy that is calling you frigid. |

| Dear Auntie Jane - |
| Who is the crazy one? My parents have suggested we move in with them as I got pregnant and we were not planning on a family till we had our own home. They have really been pushing for this, no strings attached, but my Dad is a control freak and my husband never agrees with him. My husband doesn't get along well with either of them. We would pay no rent and could save for a down payment. I told him he could try harder to get along as this is a great opportunity for us. My Mom has offered to look after the baby so I can go back to work. She would do all the cooking, cleaning and grocery shopping. I can see this working out fine, but can't get my husband to cooperate with the plan. Is he crazy or not? |
|
Kelly and Ron Dear Kelly and Ron - |
|
You ask who is the crazy one. I would say your Mom and you. Your Mom sounds like she hasn't let go of you and you sound like a spoiled brat. It might take longer to get your own place, but then Ron would still be with you to enjoy it. Children revert back to kids when they go back home to live with their parents, not a good scenario. |

| I am fifteen and
sexually active with two different guys. One is better at sex the
other one is on the football team and popular with all the girls. I
have to choose as they want to go steady with me. I can't make up my
mind which one to choose from. I know I would be invited to more
things with the football player and my friends would be jealous as
he is so good looking. But have more sex and fun with the other one.
Please help with some advice. Tina |
| Dear Tina - |
|
At fifteen you should not be having sex with two guys to start with, hopefully you are having safe sex. I guess it depends on what is most important for you at this time. Having your friends be jealous of you and be seen in more places with the football player. Or look and see what the other fellow has to offer besides good sex. |

Anonymous Dear Anonymous - |

You must know already that it would be cheating or you would have signed your name. You must have told this friend about your lack on orgasms, isn't that a flirt. If you want me to say go ahead fine, but it is still classified as cheating but then again its only a orgasm. |

You say you have a good marriage, will it be good after you both see each with other partners? Only the two of you can decide this.

Some women need hormones to get past this stage. Hopefully she will go see her doctor as there is no reason for you both not to have a active sex life as she is going through this natural progression in life. Some women get more sexually active when going through menopause, some don't. Be patient and maybe try stimulating her more before the act. One suggestion keep the bedroom window open for a natural draft. |

Sounds like they have help to keep them in their own place. Older people do much better when living together on their own unless their health is not good.

Some men just love to flirt as it builds their ego. At least he isn't doing it behind your back and it's out in the open.

Stop feeling sorry for yourself and get out and join things that interest you.

Why not go out with this man that calls, he might have just been making conversation. You have no children so why worry about your assets at this stage. Its acceptable for you to call him too. |

Its your husbands parents let him deal with them. He can say you both will try and make it once a month. Then after brunch go home and enjoy the rest of your day together.

I think if your son and his father have a good relationship then he should talk to him.

| I just found out
my husband has been cheating on me since we have been married with
his old girlfriend. I thought we had a happy marriage the last four
years and now I'm pregnant and wonder if I should terminate the
pregnancy before it's too late. He swears that he will stop his
affair if I have this baby. I am twenty-two years old and wonder if
I want to spend anymore time with him. He said I would be committing
a sin if I do, he is Catholic. I have lost all the love I had for
him and know that I would never forgive him for this and will file
for a divorce. I just don't know what to do but have to decide soon.
Any help with suggestions would be appreciated. Annemarie
|
| Dear Annemarie - |
|
So he is Catholic and didn't think he was committing any sins for four years? He WILL stop the affair? You mean he has not already? You are very young to raise a child on your own and would have to spend the rest of your life with him if you choose to have this baby. Only you can make this decision. Talk to your doctor or a professional counselor to help you decide what is the best for your life. If you do decide on a divorce AND/OR to have this baby, you'll need to have a lawyer involved too. Their will be financial costs to consider as well as the emotional costs. |

We are both happily married and he asked if I would consider meeting him one night for a drink to finish our conversation. I must say it was a very interesting conversation (sexual) and I felt like twenty again. Would that be called cheating on our spouses if we did? |
|
Grandmother and Granddad . Dear GAG - |
|
Just because you're grandparents doesn't mean you are dead from the waist down. BUT, the key words for me were, "... you felt like twenty again." It would be considered cheating if you decided to have sex before or after the drinks. I have a feeling you have already made up your mind.

Why would you bother with these people? Tell them all it's one day to get along and get through. If they can't do that then to stay home. If some choose not to come it's their loss.

He was unemployed and I needed a few repairs done around my house. I asked if he was interested in making some extra cash, he readily agreed.

Lay down some ground rules before hand. So she knows that you may not bat for her team, but would like to try, if you feel comfortable doing so.

If he treats you like this and you're not even married what happens if you get married? A relationship isn't about him getting satisfied with sex and a pizza and his sports programs.

It would not hurt to notify the police, so it's on record. Has there been any action at the bank with withdrawals? They must have money to survive.

dinner. One couple is very cheap and never go to the trouble of
putting on a great meal. They buy the cheapest of wine and always
serve a frozen dinner of some kind with a bought desert that
you know is at least a day old. We all pride ourselves with a
gourmet meal and wine that is complementary to what we serve.
Always serving a homemade desert to finish off with a brandy or

You can go out for dinner anytime for a gourmet meal and miss the friendship of good people, that are called friends. You could drop them from your menu but might find that something is missing. With your snobbish attitude I wouldn't be interested in your program. |

| I am fourteen
and my boyfriend and I have been going together for three
months and he leaves for college in a week. He gave me a promise
ring and wants me to wait for him, he will come home for Christmas.
Then I won't see him again till next summer. Can this distant
relation work?
Molly |
| Dear Molly - |
|
Four years of college for him and maybe eight more for you to finish school and college. I would suggest to him that maybe you both should see others and see him at Christmas. If your meant to be together in the end it will happen, but you both should enjoy the teenage years. Doesn't mean that you cannot communicate with Skype and texting while apart. |

| I have been going with my
boyfriend for five years and want to get married this fall. I am
thirty and want to start a family in the next couple of years. He
keeps saying we have lots of time to settle down and likes things
just the way they are. We have lived together for three years. How
can I get him to commit to a wedding date? Sandra |
| Dear Sandra - |
|
He doesn't seem to be committed to you, like you are to him. I would tell him to move out and decide if you are the one for him. Better to find this out before you start making wedding plans. Why would he want marriage when he has everything now without it. |

| Dear Auntie Jane - |
| I
am a twenty-six year old female, everyone I meet tells me how
beautiful I am. I have a terrific figure and a fantastic personality
with long blond hair. I have an agent for the movie industry and she
never calls me. I have had only one audition in two years. Do you
think I should fire her and go elsewhere? How can someone like
me not get a chance, when I see girls not half as beautiful as me
get called all the time. Cass |
| Dear Cass - |
|
Maybe they have talent. And you didn't have to tell me you where blond. |

| I have
had a
roommate for five years, he just told me he is gay. Should I ask him
to move or should I go? Frank |
| Dear Frank - |
|
Why would either of you move? Are you afraid he might jump your bones while sleeping. Grow up he was gay before you knew he was gay. Some people would call you homophobic. |

My father is very strict and will not allow me to have any friends
unless they are from his country. I was born here and my mother has
to cover her face when she leaves the house. I tell my father we are
in Canada now and should adopt the customs here. He will not answer
our questions in English and refuses to allow my sister and I
to go to any functions unless our brother comes with us.
My mother is afraid to upset him and does everything he says. I will
graduate next year and want to leave our home, but afraid for my
sister who is two years younger than me. I have no one to turn
to for help. Persia |
| Dear Persia - |
|
Go to your school counselor when you get back to school, tell her about your problems. I am sure it is hard for your parents to make adjustment in their lifestyle because they were brought up so differently. Your father has to be made to understand that he has to give his children freedom or he will lose them as they grow older. Ask your brother to talk to him as a male and that you and your sister respect him but he also has to respect you two girls in return. If your mother is not happy to cover her face then she has to speak up and be heard in your household. I am sure your father came to this country to make a better life for all of you. Hopefully he will see his mistakes before it's too late. |

| Dear Auntie Jane - |
| I went out with
a guy who I have had a crush on since last year. He is three years
older and will go to university in a month. I think I made a mistake
by sleeping with him when we hooked up at a party. Now when I call
he never comes to the phone. I saw him with another girl last night
at a movie and he never even said hello to me. How can I get him to
notice me and talk to me and give me a chance to be his girlfriend. Lilly |
| Dear Lilly - |
|
I'm sure he noticed you and has moved on to someone else who may be a bit more hard to get. You should move on and think twice about sleeping with someone so soon. |

| My boyfriend has
body odor, he says he showers, but does not use deodorant. I can
smell him as soon as he comes close. I have told him repeatedly,
with no success. I love this guy but his smell turns me off. How can
I make him understand. Purl |
| Dear Purl - |
|
Buy him some deodorant and tell him if he doesn't use it, not to come near you. Stick to this and I'm sure he will start smelling better. If the deodorant doesn't work he should see a doctor about this. |

| My brother is
four years older than me. He has always been jealous of my wife and
is always coming on to her. She is shy and gets embarrassed by how
he talks to her. I have told him this bothers her and he just
laughs and says she will get used to it. Now she doesn't want to go
to my parents house for dinner anymore because of him. How can I
stop him from being so rude towards her? Greg |
| Dear Greg - |
|
Tell your parents unless your brother stop this rudeness, you and your wife will not be attending anymore family dinners. Hopefully they will tell your brother to keep his mouth shut unless he has something pleasant to say to your wife. Have your parents for dinner at your place instead without him until he finds some manners. |

| My mother is
driving me crazy. Every time I go out she kisses me and says she
loves me. Even when my friends are there. I get embarrassed and have
told her not to do this. HELP. Teenager |
| Dear Teenager - |
|
You're so lucky to have a Mom like this. Be thankful that she does this, when you have your own kids I guarantee you will do the same thing. Nothing wrong in showing affection to love ones. |

| Dear Auntie Jane - |
| I would appreciate if
you would give me some sound advice. I am a widow and over eighty. I
have three children from my first marriage and two from my late
husband. Most of my money came from my late husband and some from my
first. The first three children have five children and the other two
have four. My dilemma is the three older ones never come around and
neither do their children. The two youngest ones have me over for
dinner, take me to my grandchildren's sports games . They take turns
taking me shopping once a week and to doctor appointments and phone
to check up on me daily. They also include me when they go away on
holidays. I have a will that is divided equally among them all and
now feel that I want to change it. I am of sound mind and now feel
that the two youngest and their kids deserve to be rewarded for
always being there for me. Am I wrong in this? Elsie M |
| Dear Elsie - |
|
No you are not wrong my dear, they are making your life more meaningful by showing love and spending time with you. Leave your other grandkids a memento of yourself or their grandfather. The other three I would acknowledge them as much as they do you. |

| Dear Auntie Jane - |
| My
friend and I don't agree and would like you to decide who is
right. I went out with this guy and we had sex on our first date. He
has not called me since and I think I should phone him and ask him
out. My friend thinks he just used me and is not interested or he
would have called after two weeks. Do you think he will call? Leila |
| Dear Leila - |
|
Probably when he feels like an ice cream cone and a quick lay. |

I have been married for six months. My husband insists that he has
the right to go out with his friends three times a week and leaves
me home. He gets so mad when I tell him that this is not right for a
married man. What should I do? Unhappy |
| Dear Unhappy - |
|
Sounds to me like he wants to be married and lead a single life. I certainly wouldn't get pregnant with this guy, or you will be raising the child alone. You could go out with you're friends and not be home when he gets there, see how he likes this. But certainly not a good way to start a marriage. He sounds very immature and not ready for the commitment of marriage. It takes two to make a marriage work, that is why the divorce rate is so high. Talk to him and tell him if he wants to be single, then he should leave before you put any more of your time into this relationship. |

| I am getting married
in a month. I am a virgin and am scared of my wedding night. My
girlfriends say I should have sex before then, so I can enjoy myself
on this important night. I wanted to give my future husband this
gift of being a virgin. Do you think I should go with my girlfriends
idea? Janice |
| Dear Janice - |
|
Your future husband will take your virginity as a special time for you both. Tell him how you feel and I am sure he will make your special night perfect for you both. Just relax and take it slow and it will be fine. |

| Dear Auntie Jane - |
| I have loved the same
guy for over five years. He has been engaged to this floozy for
three. How can I get him to drop this girl so we can get together. I
had a one night stand with him and we had a great time before he got
engaged. I have bumped into him a couple of times and he is friendly
towards me. Should I call him and tell him that I am the one for
him? Had great sex |
| Dear HGS - |
|
One question , who is the floozy? |
|
Auntie
Jane |
| Dear Auntie Jane - |
| I am
forty years old, look much younger. There is a young
man that keeps coming on to me at work and wants to take me out for
dinner. He is nineteen, but mature for his age. One of the girls he
has dated awhile back was telling us he is great in bed. He is good
looking and I was wondering if you think he is too young? Willing |
| Dear Willing - |
|
Well, you wouldn't be charged with rape if you went for it. If you're just looking for a good roll in the hay why not. Quite a bit of an age difference if you plan on keeping up this relationship. My concern would be what would you have in common except sex. My question would be is he trying to date every available girl in the office and bed them? I just can't seem to put you in the same category as the widow of eighty-five. |

Auntie
Jane |
| Dear Auntie Jane - |
| I
have been a widow for five years, I am a women of eighty-five.
My husband and I had a good sex life and I miss this part of my
life. I met a gentleman where I go to play cards. He has asked me
out a few times and we enjoy each others company. My problem he is
only sixty and wants to have a more intimate relationship with me.
Do you think this would be appropriate for us to have sex?
Want to enjoy the time I have left
