At first, my girlfriend was okay, but now she's forcing me to turn him away, not take his phone calls andavoidhim . H e's my favorite uncle and I don’t want to hurt him but 1 don’t want to hurt my girlfriend either. What do I do? stressful sitting by watching and feeling that I’m losing my husband. He claims that he still loves me but his actions are extrem ely different from the words he says. What can I do to recapture the fire and energy in my m arriage? — —N ephew Jo h n ; Pasadena, C a lif. O v e rw e ig h t W ife ; T o le d o , O h io Dear Nephew John: Dear Overweight: your girlfriend with a few visits fromacleaning service and hope she gets the hint. If this doesn't help then tell her to clean her house and keep it clean oryou're gone. If she chooses dirt over you, say goodbye and keep it moving. Apparently your uncle doesn't know much about responsibil ity, thus his divorce. Although you have an obligation to put family first, you must never sac rifice your relationship for non sense. Have a talk with your uncle and tell him that you want your relationship to work and you can only go out with him on a conservative basis. If he doesn't understand then he’s selfish and deserves to go out alone. Dear Deanna! Dear Deanna! My uncle is newly divorced and he’s driving me crazy. He al ways wants to go to the club, hang out and drink. I don’t mind going out with him every now and then but he comes over every day, eating dinner and I have gained a lot of weight and I feel that my husband is falling out o f love with me. H e’s not intimate with me, we don’t cuddle and he always acts as if I’m annoying him. I am trying to diet but it is so If yo u 're having these feel ings there’s no sense denying there’s some truth to w hat’s going on. The best way to tell if your husband is slipping is for you to lose weight. You need to be happy with good self-esteem . O nce you get back into your zone, measure your husband’s activity and behavior towards you. Ifthings don’t change, you have a prob lem that goes beyond weight. Be prepared for a discussion and seek honest answers re garding your relationship. Home Office. Bloomington. Illinois 61710 Ernest J. Hill, Jr. I'm having a challenge with my new girlfriend. She is adorable, niee and sweet but her hygiene and housekeeping habits are horrible. She can eook, but she leaves dishes in the kitchen for a week, never vacuums and her eat walks around the house.
