Dear Steve and Shirley, I have been married to my husband for 13 years, but we have been together for a total of 23 years. We have one son and my husband is a great provider for our family. I am, however, concerned about the example of manhood that he’s displaying for our son. My husband is non-confrontational, so we haven’t argued in years. If we have a disagreement, he will just agree with me, to avoid conflict. He’s always eager to help others and he does favors for his family members all the time, even if he is not feeling up to it.

He likes to grind and do a lot of kissing, but we rarely go all the way.

I’m in my mid 30s and I’m an educated man with a great job and I’m financially secure. I was in a 10 year relationship that ended a few years ago and since that breakup, I have had problems meeting women. I have been ignored by women when I try to speak to them or strike up a conversation. I had considered many possibilities as to why women avoid me and I’ve come to this conclusion… It’s because I am an unattractive man and I have realized that my facial features aren't the cutest..............

Dear Steve and Shirley, I have two children with my high school sweetheart. We both come from seriously dysfunctional families and we were all each other had. Shortly after we graduated, I got incarcerated for 18 months on a drug possession charge. During this time, my kid's mother met an older guy and he began to take care of her and my kids. He bought her a new car and moved her and the kids into an upscale apartment. I’m not a fool, so I know there was give and take in this situation, but I was locked up, so what could I say? I’ve been out of jail for about 9 months and he has continued to cover all of my family’s expenses..................

Well, in 2018, he and I reconnected on social media. Since we live far apart, we texted and called each other daily. He told me he was coming to town and wanted to see me.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I’ve been in a long-distance relationship with a great guy for the past six years. We live an hour apart so it’s not far at all and we see each other regularly. When we spend time together, it’s wonderful and we have a lot of sex to make up for the times we’re apart. Although we have a lot of sex, it is never the romantic experience that I crave, because I’ve never seen my man naked from the waist down. I have never touched any part of his body, from the waist down. He will let me rub on his chest and that’s it...........
