Q: Is it normal for your husband to want a threesome with another woman? We've been married for three years and everything has been great. Should I be worried? Is this normal and a good thing or is he getting bored with me? He says it won't get him turned on unless I was involved. Can anything good…
Q: What should I do when my husband looks and stares at other women? Should I leave him, confront him or just not say anything? It makes me angry and uncomfortable, not to mention makes me feel like I'm not what he wants anymore. What do I do? - TR
