Our issues come up within the bed room. A number of years in the past, he wished so as to add “spice” to our relationship with a threesome. I agreed to attempt it if it will make him completely happy.

LOST AND FRUSTRATED

DEAR LOST AND FRUSTRATED: If ever I heard a couple of couple who want to speak to a licensed marriage and household therapist — in addition to a intercourse therapist — it’s the 2 of you. Intercourse is meant to be pleasing for each companions, not only one.

Many straight males’s fantasies contain one other lady within the marriage mattress. That your husband can’t be aroused with out having you discuss one other man raises questions concerning the nature of his sexual fantasies that I can not deal with.

DEAR ABBY: My husband’s mother and father deal with our two daughters very in a different way.

My oldest is vivid and talkative, and she or he’s handled with love and kindness from each of them. They convey her presents for holidays and birthdays and make time to be together with her.

Our youthful daughter has a number of disabilities. She is nonverbal and requires assist in all areas. My in-laws act as if she doesn’t exist. They by no means work together together with her and by no means purchase her presents.

They declare to be spiritual individuals, however I discover their habits towards our youthful little one to be fully devoid of affection or kindness — the alternative of what their faith teaches. It’s distressing to my husband and me.

Now we have talked about the inequality earlier than, to no avail. In actual fact, they by no means even responded. What ought to we do? It’s tearing my coronary heart aside to see my youthful little one handled this fashion by individuals who ought to love her unconditionally.
