Ask Amy: Wife says COVID means NO contact
I don’t believe that young people as a group “don’t want to be with” older people, but no one likes to be — or feel — pressured.
If you give them more space, they may instinctively draw a little closer to you over time. Give less, and they may give more. They may not, but you won’t be so resentful.
Dear Amy: “Frustrated” said her husband’s underarms had become “stinky.” She wanted him to use deodorant. I couldn’t believe that you agreed with her.
Deodorant should not be necessary if your body is healthy. I hope you don’t use it.
— Healthy
Dear Healthy: This really is not about deodorant, but about a spouse talking to her husband about his body odor.
