Dear Annie: I’ve been married to a man for 17 years. But not long after the marriage, he stopped being a husband. At first, we would talk, laugh and have fun. We would do things together, go places and, most of all, we would make love all the time. It’s been 10 years since weContinue reading “Fun times with advice commentary today!”
