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,
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 husband and I have not gotten along for some time and only stay together for the children.
I had an affair with a married man who also has a bad marriage and we really fell in love, but we both agreed it would be best break it off and keep our families together for the children's sake, but I don't know how I can live this way.
Queenie, tell me what to do!—Trapped in a loveless marriage
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
Dear Queenie,
My husband’s parents have never liked me for some reason, I don’t know why. They refuse to visit our home and when there is some family event they invite him, but not me.
I have always been polite and respectful to them, but it is hard to like someone who treats you that way.
Queenie, I really wish my husband wouldn’t let them treat me like that. Am I asking too much?—Left out wife
