DEAR MIKE CARES: Two years before he met me, my husband of four years did something I feel was morally repugnant: He solicited a prostitute. When he committed this act, he was going through a dark period in his life. He was divorcing a woman who had cheated and left him for another man, raising his young son and dealing with immense feelings of insecurity. He told me all of this while we were dating, and I thought I would eventually get over it. However, almost five years int

DEAR MIKE CARES: I have been with my girlfriend for 25 years. We have never married for various reasons. She is in her 60s, and I am 13 years younger. Our sex life isn't so good anymore. As a matter of fact, it is gone. What can I do as a younger man to make her feel special again? How can I light her fire? We still sleep in the same room, but that's about it. I am not ugly, overweight or unappealing. Is there any hope for at least a slight increase in sex? All of my parts ar

DEAR MIKE CARES: I'm a man who has worked for a large company for many years. I recently became acquainted with a newly hired woman who is beautiful, smart, funny and compassionate. We talk almost daily, and I'm becoming romantically interested in her. From her behavior, she may feel similarly. I'd like to take things to the next level by inviting her to lunch. There is one major issue: I'm in my early 70s; she's in her early 20s. I'm not sure if she's aware of the large age

DEAR MIKE CARES: I am a man whose long-distance boyfriend of one year has a married female best friend. (She's his boss.) She is also a tobacco-addicted narcissist who drinks a lot. They chat on the phone and text for hours every day because, as he puts it, "she can't be alone." I think she uses him to compensate for her insecurities. I also think she's a bad influence on him. We see each other only every other week because of the physical distance between us, and then only f

DEAR MIKE CARES: About eight months ago, I stumbled on my husband watching online porn. He admitted to habitual use but said it was just a stress reliever and he would stop viewing it. Meanwhile, I am plagued by feelings of not being enough for him, mainly before or during sex but also at random times of the day and night. I am a small-breasted woman, and I can't stop thinking that he has seen beautiful bodies that are much more of a turn-on than mine. I am ashamed of how I l
