The Lady or the Tiger or a Nap?

Dear Short Answers: After 20 years of marriage, how do I tell my spouse that I’d like to have sex with other women? It has nothing to do with her but as I get older, I feel like I haven’t explored enough sexually and time is running out. Should I  do this secretly or do [...]

Independance for All

Dear Short Answers: About a year ago, I found out that my husband was having an affair. When I confronted him he admitted it. He was ashamed, humilitated and said it would stop. I believe that he ended the affair but I still couldn’t get over it and forgive him. We agreed to stay married [...]

Dues Paid

Don’t Start What You Can’t Finish

Dear Short Answers: My wife was very ambitious on my behalf.  It’s a little more complicated than just blind ambition but I did something terrible to please her.

Dear Short Answers: My best friend recently got married for the second time. I’m truly happy for him and want this marriage to succeed (his first marriage was a disaster).
