The Incredible Sulk & Mourning Wood

Spouses can’t meet each other’s every needโ€”and shouldn’t be expected to.

The Incredible Sulk I’m a married lesbian working on having another baby with my fab wife. My new best friend is an attractive straight girl who lives in another state. We talk and text every day. It isn’t sexual or romantic at all, but my friend gets me in a way that, I’m sorry to […]

Youth Hostile

I’m a 35-year-old woman who’s been married for a year to a 70-year-old man. My husband’s closest female friend is also one of his exes. He’s known her for 40 years. She’s a real sore point for me. She stayed at our apartment while we were away. She wouldn’t reply to any of my emails […]

I ruined my last relationship (with a nice, decent guy) by snooping in his emailโ€”finding nothing. I’ve started seeing a therapist, who tells […]

Credible Fret and Netflix And Kill

Jealousy gets a bad rap. Sure, it’s sometimes a sign that your self-worth is in the toilet. But it can also be a sign that your boyfriend has been sneaking off to the toilet at work with his boss’s busty assistant.

I’m a 34-year-old woman in a two-year relationship with a guy. I’ve never been the jealous type. Yet, I do feel oddly possessive and jealous in this relationship, especially lately. My friends say this a sign I need to “work on” myself. Really? If so, how? What do I need to do? โ€”Worried “Hey, where’s […]
