Dear Annie: This letter is for the men in your reading audience. I am devastated, sad, angry, hurt β you name it. He has tremendous remorse, regret and guilt. We are contemplating staying together and working through all of the layers of pain that such betrayal causes. I am so hurt and so afraid that those sexual experiences have diminished what we had. I was sure that I satisfied him.
He certainly satisfied me. Buddy has had zillions of disappointments in his life and suffers from depression and low self-esteem. My question is for men who have strayed with prostitutes. Did you find yourself comparing them to your wives?
Were you not content at home? Please say anything you can about this as I try to recover from this devastating horror. Dear Needing: Have you asked Buddy these questions? Although some men may choose prostitutes because they are unhappy at home, we suspect that is not the case here. First, you are doing yourself a disservice. Prostitutes are not necessarily young or attractive. They are simply willing and nonjudgmental.
We are glad you are getting counseling, and we hope you have been checked for sexually transmitted diseases. If we receive any responses to your questions, we will let you know. Dear Annie: I like fast food. However, there is one facet that I have never seen addressed: the use of sesame seeds on the buns of fast-food sandwiches. Evidently, some purveyors of such food have never felt the agony of having one of these seeds caught beneath dentures.
Dear Whopper: Most fast-food places are trying to please their customers by offering a wider variety of menu items. Both said their companies try hard to accommodate their customers. They suggested explaining to the server that you cannot eat sesame seeds and asking for another type of bun. We hope that works. Dear Annie: You printed a letter from a man whose in-laws are intrusive and demanding. After 25 years of dealing with a domineering, critical and sarcastic father-in-law, I took your advice and am currently talking out my resentment with a psychologist.
