Dear Amy: 27 -year -old my wife recently told me that she is not interested in intimacy or sex.
We have a bad record in this regard, especially raising our four children (three adults, and a teenage girl).
My wife told me that I could not have sex with her or suggested, and would be the only way to happen if she decided to start. He has not done this in more than a decade, so I have no hope.
I, of course, told him that it was unfair to determine the terms that would in short for the next 20 to 30 years of my life.
She said that any form of cheating would be the basis for divorce, therefore, I feel that she is trying to force her to divorce me, making me a bad man with children and expanded family (that figure I would not make for this public).
So what should I do now?
– rejected
Dear rejected: After years of dysfunction, your marriage has now reached a terminus. Your sexual life can be the primary issue to divide both of you, but I think your wife’s lack of compassion and her current non-pervantic marriage is representative of other problems. She looks angry, you (wisely) are very hurt.
“No-fault” divorce means that there is no need to present specific reasons to divide the joints. If your relationship is broken at a point without a return, the “irreparable difference” is an accurate detail. You should educate yourself about legal routes for divorce in your state.
If you are at the point where you believe that you are trying to exclude each other about both breakdowns, then consultation can provide you with a path to interact on more peaceful and honest partitions. If she does not see a doctor with you, you should go on your own.
You are not invited to start sex. You should start consultation.
If you are two different, my understanding is that you can be a “bad man”, no matter the real circumstances.
You should consider if you are ready to be hostage of your wife’s anger.
Dear Amy: I am a retired woman, living alone. I inherited a box of very old photos, well more than 100 years old.
At the bottom of the box, I found a dozen small, beautifully “adult” photos.
While I am certain that they were staunch for their time, they are largely from modern standards, which features partial nudity, unknown body and rolled stockings.
The most seductive picture is of a bride who is getting a romantic kiss on her wedding night.
I was immediately taken with these cute images, and so I created a group together to display them in my bedroom, which is a very private room in my house. (I am a retired woman living alone.)
As soon as he saw them, my elder sister insisted that I take them down, because “people will think that you are gay, or some kind of spoils.”
I told that in my bedroom anyone knows me very well that he is enough to know my truth, and who cares what someone else thinks?
My sister, and now many of her friends, are angry at my “porn performance”.
Can you help me come up with a comment to prevent further discussion?

Dear art lover: It looks like a cool and unique collection to display in your bedroom.
Responding to comments or critics from various bodies in your life, you can archea and say, “Okay, you are right.” I am holding you My secret is out. I am really gay, and is a special attraction for beauties from the Victorian era. Last night I had a dream about Virginia Wolf. We were doing ballroom dance on the Titanic. ,
In short – this itself; Do not understand and apologize.
And perverted? Will your sister scam if you had a breeding of Venus de Milo or Michael Angelo’s “David” in your bedroom? Will she be surprised to see anyone on Rodin’s “The Kiss”? Perhaps. But this is a lot of his problem. Do not make it your own.
Dear Amy: “superstitious” was surprised what her bad luck to do with the wedding band from the previous marriage. It should melt it down and donate income to a favorite donation. – Charitable
Dear Charitable: This is an option that is worth finding (many readers have suggested it), but the ring of this process may cost more than gold.
