Dear Steve and Shirley, I've been with my boyfriend for seven going on eight years, off and on. He's broken up with me three times because he says I'm not domestic enough, or I say the wrong things when he asked me to do things. Then he'll call so we can get back together. Just recently, I moved back in with him and he got upset that men were speaking to me at a motorcycle event when he left me alone for hours at a time. Mind you, these men were not hitting on me at all, and he knew one of the guys and a guy told him we were all just hanging around and talking, but the whole time he was over with a group of women showing off his bike..................................................

Dear Steve and Shirley, I'm a twenty seven year old female and I just got out of a ten year relationship that was going nowhere. Now I'm dating a twenty nine year old man that pursued me for a few years. He was there for me after my breakup, so I got used to him being around. I want to get your advice before I fall for the wrong man again. He works as a manager of two movie theaters and he runs his mobile detailing business on the side. He's also a really good cook, but I can't get him to cook anything spicy...................................

Dear Steve and Shirley, I wrote in about my husband helping out my best friend after her husband died. My mother visited us from Nigeria and she told me that I was giving my husband permission to cheat, and I didn't want to believe her. I got so offended by what she said because I trusted my husband. My mom wasn't having it, and she was so persistent that she told me to pass by my friend's house after we picked my son up from preschool. My husband's truck was on the side of my friend's house, not in her driveway, but on the side of her house a little ways up from her house. She told me to park the car and call my husband........................................................................

Dear Stephen Shirley, Everything is a minor inconvenience for my husband, and I need to see if something is going on with him outside of our household. He used to love doing everything with me. He used to initiate intimacy and afterwards he would always get up and cook breakfast, no matter what time of day or night it was. That was our little fun time. He wanted to have a lot of kids before we got married, but now he's saying that he doesn't know if we can afford to start a family. He said that babies take up a lot of time and are inconvenient most of the time. That broke my heart, because how can a child be inconvenient? He's been saying crazy stuff like this, and I've been taking mental notes......................................................

Dear Steve and Shirley, My husband is threatening to divorce me because I haven't slept in the bed with him for almost two months. I have asked him to do a few minor things, but he won't and to add to the things he does to irritate me at night, he does not wear his sleep mask, so he snores like sasquatch. We got married in 2017 and he moved back to our hometown to be with me. We met over twenty years ago, but we were just good friends until we realized that we had a lot in common. Our long distance relationship was fine because he always came to see me............................................
