Her friends warn that without sex, her husband will fool around
My husband and I are both in our early 60s. We’ve been married almost 40 years now and have three professional and married children who have all left the nest.

My husband and I are both in our early 60s. We’ve been married almost 40 years now and have three professional and married children who have all left the nest.
Two years ago, an officemate who had just broken off from her longtime boyfriend asked me to take her out to dinner. She knew I would be game as I had made passes at her. We dated for three months and got intimate—to a certain point. I knew she was not the scrupulous type, even though she is a graduate of a convent school, as she had been telling us officemates that she had gone out of town with her boyfriend a number of times. So I thought she was the promiscuous type. Anyway, she reconciled with her old boyfriend and they are now married.
I used to be a call girl. That is, until I graduated into being a solid, well-maintained mistress. I started my trade at 19 until I met this client who turned into my lover when I was in my late 20s. He is 18 years my senior. It was a while before he found out I was a hooker. I was always well-dressed and elegant, and spoke English quietly and correctly. I even knew which fork to use and where my bread plate was. He knew me as a real-estate agent and he was quite impressed that I was knowledgeable in that area.
I’m just curious. Is it ok to have an affair with a married man if the reason is you love each other? This is different from the case of the married woman who used her affair with her married friend as a crutch.
If you found parenting a child to be the challenge of a lifetime—which it is, really—wait till you have to play parent to your parent. No school, no book, no social group ever prepares you for it.
I trusted my husband so much that I never suspected he would cheat on me. In 2005, he confessed to having two children by another woman. I was devastated, but in wanting to preserve our marriage, I agreed to let him visit the family twice a month on weekends, but not to stay overnight. I even sent groceries and gifts for the children.
I am a married man with four kids. The youngest is now four months old, and I am not even 100-percent sure that I am the father.
An audiophile with a most impressive CD collection and a music lover, President Benigno Aquino III watched the Sergio Mendez concert last week, seated beside his rumored lady love Grace Lee—but only for about five minutes before the concert. During the concert, P-Noy’s good friend sat in between them the rest of the concert. Was that some body language or no big deal at all? Together, yet not so together—noted people who were Aquino-watching during the concert… Is this, as Sergio Mendez’s music goes, the Look of Love?
I am a single girl, divorced, no children, and living abroad. My relatives have all assumed it was my fault that my husband left me, and have badgered me with nonstop questions since then. It irked me so much that I stopped going to family functions here or calling relatives in the Philippines, just to evade questions like these. I got tired of having to explain myself to them.
I’ve been separated from my wife and am now living with my only child. My problem is about a woman I met in college and had a relationship with her before I got married. She got married herself and is now living with her gifted daughter and husband.
