Revealing a scandalous secret, and controlling a spouse’s career path!
Dear Amy: My girlfriend of three years recently revealed a very deep and personal issue about me to a group of people. We were at a party and she was drunk, but I was completely shocked and felt betrayed. This issue was one I shared with her with the understanding that I wanted to keep…

Oh dear!
Dear Annie: I’ll be married for 25 years this coming June, 30 years together. My husband is great, but he is not interested in sex anymore. He told me, “It’s just not important to me.” I’m in my mid-40s and am desperate for intimacy and affection. But aside from that, I enjoy my family dynamics.…

He’s diseased!
DEAR ABBY: I suffered an injury that caused internal bleeding, which then gave me iron deficiency anemia. I was battling its symptoms of depression and anxiety before I was diagnosed.

Just talk it out!
Dear Annie: I am currently married with no kids. I travel a lot for work and vacation. The issue is my wife’s sister, her husband and their kids. Three years ago, my wife and I allowed them to move into our home because their living situation was not great. They shared a small apartment that…

There’s a dress code?!
Dear Annie: My wife was fed up over a pair of cutoff shorts that I wore all the time. In fact, I had worn them so many times that the patches had patches. The only original parts left were the belt line and around the zipper. It took three days for them to dry after…

Just try a little more counseling!
Dear Annie: I have been married now for almost 23 years. Soon after the wedding, I found that my wife had virtually no interest in intimacy of any kind. Three therapists and many months later, the situation is the same. She does have admirable attributes, and I have made an effort to love her for…

No, really?
Dear Annie: I had a chat interaction with a person on a website a year ago that sounds similar to the concerns of “Concerned Daughter,” whose 81-year-old mother was the target of an internet scam, and others who have written to you to tell of suspicious experiences online. On the site I visited, there was…
