Dear Suze Q. My girlfriends laughed when I dated after 20 years of celibacy. But I found true love on a dating site after only a few months, and we’ve been happily married for 2 years. We both know time is our enemy so we joke and have fun, but some things I thought I could ignore have me biting my tongue. I tell him lightly, then stronger a 2nd time, but nothing changes. I’m afraid to confront him, and I’m not sure I have the energy to raise another husband.
Dear Afraid, This is not a marriage where you both grow up together. He is a mature man with his fantastic aspects and foibles. Stop approaching this like a mother to a child. He is an equal partner and you need to communicate fairly and effectively. A therapist can untangle your minor roadblocks in a few sessions and swiftly give you the skills to sail to your future on gossamer wings. -SQ
