  • Broken Relationship

    I hope this is as a fair place as any to get some advice. I have been in an almost 6 year relationship with a woman I love. That relationship is clearly on the rocks and in danger of shattering. I never cheated on her, I was never emotionally or physically abusive, I wasn't an alcoholic or drug addict; I just didn't see that she was unhappy. I ...

  • Re: Dry Land

    Oh come on, sex is now somehow more important than love? That's not a world I want to live in. Don't get me wrong, sex is great and very important to me but I would never dream of ditching my husband if we hadn't been sexually compatible. Which, seriously, what does that even mean? What's the point of the endless books and articles on the subject ...

  • Life, Liberty and Hapiness.....only if you are 50 and sane?

    We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. I guess that is just for people who haven't raised children, left legacies, fought for their country, and all of the other things a person ...

  • Re: Princess Bride

    Dear Prudie, I was in this woman's shoes - and am still happily married to an honest, loving, trustworthy man 9 years later. My ''Prince'', we have found out, however, has Asperger's Syndrome. We would never have known it, but our oldest son began showing signs of problems around 18 months of age. After years of research, frustration, and ...
