Ask Ellie

Stress and depression put out girlfriend's fireSubscriber

Q: When I first met my girlfriend of three years she was happy, extroverted, sexually liberated. We had a very passionate relationship. I brought her to my city for my career. She's started a new career here, and plus attends school. Our passion has gone, though I've talked to her about it repeatedly.

Q: My boyfriend's very sexy, but when he's been drinking he loses it . . . he'll be all passionate and wanting to leave a party to make love, but when we get home he's only interested in sleep. We go out a lot (no kids yet) and our friends always meet up with us at bars, but I'm feeling there's something missing in our relationship if he loses his interest so easily.

Pungent father-in-law causing wedding worriesSubscriber

Q: I'm getting married; it's to be a small fall weekend wedding. We'll all be in close quarters. My future father-in-law smells really, really bad. He showers but doesn't use soap or deodorant. He's a lovely man and we don't want to hurt his feelings.

Being older man's mistress not fair to womanSubscriber

Q: I've fallen in love with a man who's 25 years older than me. He's married and has a son and daughter, who are around the same age as me. I really like his personality; he's the only man I've met who knows how to treat women, and I'd been searching for someone like that.

Sex talk leaves unanswered questionsSubscriber

Q: My boyfriend (two years) is a great guy but not that interested in sex. He's very successful, works long and hard, then needs a workout or some hard sports activity to release tension.

Victim of dog attack leaves person struggling to copeSubscriber

Q: Last September, I lost my three-year-old dog/best friend in a pit-bull attack. While I was bruised and bloodied, I felt severe guilt over falling apart instead of finding a way to help him. I've sought counselling, focused mostly on anxiety, for which I'm already medicated.

Don't be afraid to lead by example with romanceSubscriber

Q: My boyfriend of eight months isn't romantic. He's never bought me flowers. When I gave him a Christmas gift, he felt horrible and got me something, apologizing for the error of his ways. He was travelling for work over Valentine's Day. He didn't send me anything.
