Dear Annie

Dear Annie: I have an aunty who has been there for me since my childhood. She has always had my back. My mum is absent, and this aunty the one who has filled in for her all these years. Years back, I felt like I could tell her anything and she would understand me. I adored her so much, still do. But recently, I began to feel a disconnect between us. I asked her why she had been distant lately, and she said that she feels as though I’m competing with her child for her attention. No matter how much I try to explain my feelings, how important our relationship is to me, she brushes me ...

The ultimate surprise

President Trump’s infection with COVID-19 adds to a year no fiction writer could have contrived. The image of Trump last Friday walking out of the White House wearing a mask and traveling by helicopter to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center was an optic we have not seen with this president, and it was sobering. Trump usually makes remarks to the press, but this time he gave no more than a thumbs-up. Before departing he tweeted a brief video thanking Americans for their support. His departure Monday night from Walter Reed will likely bring attacks from his opponents and most ...

Dear Annie

Dear Annie: I’ve been married for 34 years. Like all couples, there have been ups and downs. We have seen several counselors over the years to work with us in tough times, although we still had intimacy in our marriage. We are now going on 15 months with no intimacy at all. She says she can’t because she doesn’t feel connected to me. We are going to counseling, and she said she was too overwhelmed with doing our finances alone. So, I got involved in that. Then she said that I could not make any sexual advances; it had to come from her. I have tried to make none, but I have ...

Dear Annie

Dear Annie: My wife and I are drifting apart. I’m a recovering alcoholic of four years. I put her through a lot when I was drinking. When I got sober, I put my recovery first. I went to a lot of meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous and put her second. Now, she is seeing someone else. I think at this point it’s only an emotional affair, not a sexual one. But there have been times when she said she was going out with friends, and I know she went out with him. I’m not sure how I feel about it. I should be angry, and I’m not. But I don’t like it, it bothers me to no end. ...
