Plus: My husband said I should get a “friend.” Bad idea?
We got along very well, but he is drinking again, and his behavior has changed — there are mood swings, bouts of jealousy and finger-pointing. It’s unpleasant, and the smell seeping from his pores is nauseating.
I have told him he needs to work on himself and get back into the program, and he says all he can do is take one day at a time. You need to educate yourself about alcoholism, and an effective way to do that would be to join Al-Anon and attend some meetings.And, if it creates problems where you work, inform your boss or supervisor. I’m sure that because of the potential liability, your employer won’t be thrilled about having a drunk for an employee.: I have been married for the last 25 years to a wonderful man, “Frank.” We are very happy in all areas except for intimacy. Frank has lost all interest in intimacy and sex.
About a year ago, he told me I should find someone — a friend with benefits — to take care of my sexual needs. At the time I said no, hoping he would be interested again.Do you think I should follow through with it, or keep waiting and hoping Frank will change? Have you any advice about how to restart the intimacy in our relationship?He should also talk to his doctor and ask for a referral to a urologist and an endocrinologist, who may be able to help.
