Dear Queenie,

When I first met my husband he told me he was married but he and his wife were separated and getting a divorce.

After we got married I happened to meet his wife and she told me she had kicked him out when she found out he was cheating on her with me and that’s actually why they got divorced.

Queenie, how could he lie to me like that?—Liar’s wife

Dear Queenie,

The other night our 4-year-old daughter woke up in the middle of the night and came to our bedroom when we were in the middle of having sex. I don’t know how long she was standing there watching us before we realized she was there.

Queenie, what should we do about this? Should we talk to her about it or just pretend it didn’t happen?—Caught in the act

Dear Queenie,

My mother doesn’t like my husband. I don’t know why, because he is a good provider and he treats me and our children just fine and his mother treats me like I was her own daughter.

My husband doesn’t care about this, but it vexes him that she also seems to dislike our children although she just dotes on my sister’s kids.

Queenie, how do I explain this to our children when they are old enough to notice?—Estranged daughter

Dear Queenie,

I’m medium tall and have always dated men taller than I am. I have a good friend who is everything I want in a man and I think he likes me that way too, but he is shorter than I am and I just can’t stop feeling funny about being with him that way.

Queenie, is it wrong of me to feel this way? And should I tell him how I feel, and if so, how?—Need him taller
