Friday, February 26, 2010 DEAR DOGGONE PUZZLED: There isn't enough information in your letter to answer your question, just enough for Abby to be flip in her reply. Let's take a more serious tone. While massages maybe a one way street, cuddling and kissing are four-lane. Unless she is unresponsive, what's the problem? Assuming you are right, and you have a valid reason to be jealous of the dog, what is he providing that you are not? Look for ways, in addition to physical affection, to earn your wife's attention. Start wooing her like she is your girlfriend, and not yet your wife. DEAR WANTS OUT: This is a difficult time for you. Ask yourself how much more difficult a time it is for your husband and your daughter. For the next few months, forgive your husband his anger. Spend most of your energy helping your daughter cope with the loss of her father. Your daughter is the least equipped of the three of you to deal with this tragedy. In addition to helping her grieve, you will need to show her strength and that a modicum of normalcy can be maintained through the roughest of times. Bottom line: Stop thinking mainly of yourself. Think of your daughter first, your husband second, and yourself third. DEAR MYSTIFIED: Mitch is stringing you along. There is at least one someone else, likely the real reason he moved. That someone else has dumped him or is not a sure enough thing. So, Mitch is keeping you dangling as a backup plan. Dump him. Change your phone numbers and email addresses. Make yourself as hard to find as he has. He won't make much effort to contact you before giving up. If you still need convincing that Mitch is a scoundrel, that ought to do it. |
