Husband's Interest Wanes After Wife's Surgeries
The wife says her husband lost interest after her brain tumor surgeries, while Dear Abby advises a sex therapist and firmer boundaries with a troubled friend.
- On Wednesday, the Dear Abby advice column published responses addressing marital intimacy challenges and toxic friendships, offering guidance to two readers navigating relationship struggles.
- A reader seeking guidance underwent 10 facial surgeries eight years ago for a benign brain tumor, leaving her husband with little interest in intimacy for seven years thereafter.
- Abby recommended consulting a certified sex therapist from The American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists, urging the husband to attend sessions to help regain confidence.
- Separately, another reader suffering from schizoaffective disorder asked for advice on a draining friendship with Sharon, who sends a rudely worded "breakup" email every three months.
- Abby advised accepting Sharon's periodic outbursts or letting the friendship go, noting that maintaining it requires tolerating the behavior without taking it personally.
