Spouse strays from empty marriage
-- I Need Affection
Dear Need: Your situation is very challenging and depleting.
You seem to be asking for (my) permission to leave your marriage, and to become sexually involved with this other man before you do. I can't supply you with a justification to leave; it's your life and you alone are responsible for your choices.
You seem to believe in the institution of marriage enough to have children with and stay faithful to someone who wants no physical contact with you.
This new romantic interest of yours has catapulted you into a sexually exciting phase, but -- you are married, and you are a parent. It's not just about you right now. You should see a lawyer. Discuss your responsibilities and options, as well as the real-life impact of your choice.
The other man in your story does not want to become involved with you while you are married. Follow his lead.
Dear Amy: I read the letter from "Keep it or Pitch it," from the person who didn't know what to do with the letters and documents left to her by her parents.
It made me think of the responsibility families have to NOT destroy these letters written from a husband to his wife during WWII.
We owe it to the generations that follow us, and for veterans, there is no better way to preserve these memories than The Veterans History Project at the Library of Congress.
These documents are collected, preserved and make accessible the firsthand remembrances of U.S. military veterans from World War I on.
