daughter-in-law, age 31, has struggled with alcoholism, depression and

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Annie: I met my boyfriend, "Tyler," almost six years ago. For the
past two years, I've been wondering whether he truly loves me. There is
very little physical contact between us. We're intimate maybe once a
year. If I try to touch him at ...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

Dear Annie: A lot of things improved when I got sober five years ago. I
left a toxic job and started my own business, where I've made some good
friends. I improved my relationship with my kids, now 7 and 9, so much
that I became the preferred ...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

Dear Annie: I've been married only a few short years. My husband and I
used to go out and have fun; we'd do things like day trips to the beach
or going out to eat, just to get out of the house.

Over the past few years, he has decided that his ...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

Dear Annie: My best friend of over 20 years has a son that is her world.
Her entire life revolves around him. What I've noticed is that he has
become such a master of manipulation that either she ignores it or she
truly doesn't see it.

Dear Annie: I have been married to my husband for 18 years, and I love

Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for six years, and every
holiday now feels less like a celebration and more like a negotiation.

My family lives about an hour away. My parents host a big Thanksgiving

Dear Annie: I am 72 years old, and lately I have been struggling with
something I never expected about getting older: I feel increasingly

I have a full life. I have children and grandchildren I adore, longtime

		<description><![CDATA[

Dear Annie: This might seem a little weird for a 78-year-old man, but
this really bothers me. When I was in elementary and high school, I
wasn't liked by many of my fellow students. I was shy, a bit awkward and
the target of bullying. I never ...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

Dear Annie: I recently returned from a lovely two-week vacation to
Europe with my husband. It's rare that we get a trip like this, so we

Dear Annie: I have been married to a dear man for more than 40 years,
but for much of that time, I have felt as though we are not really a
team.

My husband can be very kind in practical ways. He will happily run
errands, fix things around the ...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for 18 years, and I love
him dearly. But lately, there are nights when I fantasize less about

Dear Annie: I walked away from a 50-plus-year friendship. I've known
"Ralph," his wife and his kids since the late-1970s. We both worked
construction. We never had a deep friendship; most men from the boomer
generation don't. Ralph has a sense ...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for 12 years, and we
agree on most things. We like the same kind of vacations, have similar
values and rarely argue about family. Money, however, is our recurring
sore spot.

I am a saver. I grew up...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>
