Readers weigh in on issue of misbehaving dogs
Dear Readers: Every journalist learns at some point that a story about dogs - especially a story that pits human frustration against canine misbehaviour - will draw huge public reaction. So it was no surprise to me, when a woman wrote about wanting to get rid of the two dogs that her fiancŽ had owned since before the couple met (April 21 column), that many of you weighed in with your own responses.
Crushes typicalof teenagers
Q: I'm a girl in Grade 9 with this crush on a girl in Grade 10, but we don't know each other. We've seen each other in the hallways but if I tell her that I like her she may feel uneasy because we're strangers. But I also have a feeling she likes me back.
Husband's anger escalating
Q: My only daughter married a violent man three years ago. We started noticing his destructive behaviour after one year of marriage. She complained to us but he discovered it through her emails.
He accuses me that I wasn't a good mother.
Q: Do wives wonder why their husbands cheat? Read on! Three close friends and myself are devoted, hard working, husbands whose wives have turned sex into an unpleasant ordeal.
Three are married 25-plus years, the fourth, two years. Sex has become a rarity, yet, the wives complain about lack of attention.
Wife rejects advances
Q: My wife of 20 years has been spacing opportunities for intimacy. Our son, 14, shared our bed from birth until a year ago, despite my occasional protests. However, my wife still rejects my advances save for rare occasions when the boy's not home at night.
Rushing the wrong way to go
Q: I'm 37, female, and had a long, heartbreaking previous relationship with a commitment-phobe. Then I reconnected with a guy I'd had a great date with 10 years ago. He really seems into me. Meanwhile, my ex came back after two years but fled again when things got serious.
Destination weddings fuel debate
Dear Readers: It's apparent the topic of "destination weddings" is fuel for a volatile debate waiting to happen! My April 6 column included a letter from an aunt contemplating whether to attend her nephew's wedding. She expressed many reservations about cost and travel to certain locations, yet was also concerned about hurting her relationship with her sister (the groom's mother).
