Dear Amy: My wife and I have been married for 57 years. We love each other very much and demonstrate this every day.
But I know that for some people this testing is necessary; for others it is a gift providing clarity regarding parentage and answers to health concerns.I do believe that people have the right to know the truth about their DNA, if they seek it. I see this as a basic human right to vital information about their own bodies.I hope you will choose to talk to your wife right away, to see if you can mutually arrive at a decision regarding your daughter.
Your daughter may independently choose to have her DNA tested, and if so — at the very least you and your wife would be prepared to handle this in a way that reflects your positive family values. If you are wondering what is best for her, I sincerely believe that learning this from her parents would be best.
If you continue to struggle with this on your own, a counselor could help to guide this important conversation.I knew that I wasn’t a sex addict because sex wasn’t that important. What was important was the illusion, language, and moves of romance.Now I am retired and have a lot of time on my hands, while my wife has a busy social schedule.I should mention this is not an online behavior, but person-to-person contact.You claim to be an addict .
You’ve been in recovery for many years, but are now asking me if it’s OK for you to reclaim your addiction.I am not the person to ask, by the way. Your wife is. Perhaps you could reignite the romance flame with her.A letter written by “JN, MD” really resonated with me. Like this man, I too am older, have underlying health problems, and need to wear a mask when I’m in an indoor public space.No one should question anyone for their choice to wear a mask.
