Confused cousins

Queenie 19 September 2015 Hits: 387

Dear Queenie,

There’s this guy I really like and he likes me too and we want to start going together, but my mother says we can’t because we’re some kind of cousins and it would be incest.

Queenie, is she right? What are the rules on this?—Confused cousins

Confused mother

Dear Queenie,

The doctor just told my daughter that she has human papillomavirus (HPV), which he says is a sexually transmitted disease (STD). She insists that it can’t be true because she has never had sex and is still a virgin.

Queenie, is she lying about being a virgin or is the doctor wrong or what?—Confused mother

Jealous sister

Dear Queenie,

My mother comes here to visit a couple of times a year. She always stays with my brother even though I always invite her to stay with me. Only once she stayed with me because my brother and his wife were off-island.

When I asked her if there was something she doesn’t like about my house she said it wasn’t that, it was because my brother has kids and she wanted to spend as much time as possible with her grandchildren.

Queenie, am I wrong to feel left out because she spends more time with my brother than with me?—Jealous sister

Neglected heavyweight

Dear Queenie,

I’ve gained a lot of weight since I got married and these days my husband hardly ever makes love to me anymore unless I ask him to and sometimes not even then. He says it’s because he doesn’t find fat girls attractive.

Queenie, when you love somebody isn’t it supposed to be for who they are and not how they look?—Neglected heavyweight

Worried hostess

Dear Queenie,

I want to throw a birthday party for my husband but when we sat down to make a guest list I realized that most of the friends we want to invite don’t know each other. Won’t this make for a rather awkward event?

Queenie, what do you think?—Worried hostess
