girlfriend either. What do I do?

and feeling that I’m losing my

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.

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. I
always thought 1 could handle
most things in this relationship
but this is a bit much. We make
love in a dirty bed, cat hair is
everywhere and there’s never
any clean dishes. How do I
gently handle this issue? -C lean
