A Virginia woman, who has been happily married to her husband “Frank” for 25 years, has written to the advice column “Dear Abby” about their unfulfilling intimate life. The woman disclosed that Frank showed a lack of interest in intimacy roughly two years ago and even suggested she consider finding a “friend with benefits” to meet her needs. After a year of waiting for her husband’s passion to rekindle, the wife is contemplating his suggestion. Abby advised the writer to discuss this issue seriously with Frank, and for him to consult both a urologist and an endocrinologist, to potentially address any underlying health-related issues.
The column also featured a letter from a woman dealing with her recently relapsed, alcoholic co-worker turned romantic interest. His problematic alcohol consumption – marked by mood swings, jealousy, and denial – has prompted her to seek advice. Abby suggested an ultimatum approach: remind him of his initial sobriety during their romantic initiation and how his personality has sobered since resuming drinking. The girlfriend was urged to familiarize herself with the nature of alcoholism through Al-Anon meetings and ultimately to break the toxic relationship off if necessary. She was also advised to report the issue to her employer due to potential work-related liabilities.
