8 Brownwood Bulletin
Friday, August 10, 2012
DEAR ABBY: I am 38 and have been married to a good hus-
band and provider for 11 years. We have two beautiful chil-
dren and a lovely home. We appear to be the perfect couple.
Our problem is, my husband seems to be intimidated
by my sexuality. In the past, I have told my husband what
pleases me. My comments made him feel inadequate, and he
has completely given up.
We haven’t had sex in two years. He says he would rather
pleasure himself so he doesn’t have to worry that he isn’t
“doing it right.”
I am a normal, red-blooded woman, and I need sex several
times a month. Is that so wrong? I have resorted to having
an affair with a man whose wife isn’t interested in sex, but I
would prefer having a sex life with my husband.
I think my husband knows I am unfaithful. However, he
accepts it because it’s easier for him to deal with than having
sex with me. Is there anything I can do to make my husband
try again? — DESPERATELY SEEKING SEX
DEAR DESPERATELY: Having affairs may temporarily
satisfy your sexual needs, but it can only damage your
marriage further. If ever there were candidates who could
benefit from sex therapy, it is you and your husband. Even
though he may be reluctant to face this problem, insist that
he see a therapist with you. Please don’t
wait — it could save your marriage.
DEAR ABBY: I’m 17 and have been best
friends with “Alana” for five years. We do
everything together. We like the same things,
and we’re so close that we finish each other’s
sentences. She’s like a sister to me.
However, the difference between us is that
Alana gets crushes on boys that never work
out, whereas multiple boys have liked me. Af-
ter each crush falls through, Alana says her
life is awful and it must be her fault. When
I try to tell her it’s not her fault and she’s a
wonderful person, she ends the conversation.
It hurts me to see her upset, but some-
times I feel lost about what to do. What can I
do to help my friend know she’s a beautiful
person inside and out, and she doesn’t need
a boy to be happy? I love her and just want her to be OK. —
BEST FRIENDS IN RANCHO PALOS VERDES, CAUF.
DEAR BEST FRIENDS: Until Alana learns for herself that
she doesn’t need a boy to be happy, she will continue
DEAR ABBY

Buren
developing crushes that don’t work out. Boys are attracted
to girls who appear to be happy and confident, and your
friend appears to be neither. Much as you might like to,
you can’t fix this for her. But once she finally gets the
message, she will probably realize that someone she never
took the time to notice has a crush on HER
DEAR ABBY: I gave birth to a son almost 40 years ago. His
biological father would not help me, so I placed the baby for
adoption.
Here’s the problem: People are always asking me if I have
any children. Should I lie and say no, or try to explain? Le-
gally, my son does not belong to me. Please tell me what to
say to my questioners. — SINCERELY CONCERNED
DEAR CONCERNED: Usually people ask that question
only as a way to make conversation. Your personal history
is nobody’s business. If you prefer not to give a detailed
explanation about your personal history, simply say no.
