I have tried taking separate cars but think, as a couple, we should arrive together.

It seems like when I try to urge him to hurry, he purposely slows down. It has reached the point where we are angry at each other by the time we finally arrive anywhere. Any advice?Yes. Take the separate cars. No one cares whether you arrive “together” or not, unless you are going to a dinner party. And if your husband will be late for that, assure your hosts that it isn’t necessary to wait for him to arrive. To the extent you can, try fudging the event time.

I think what she’s doing is inappropriate and will certainly be so after we are married. She insists they are just “friends” and I am being immature and “untrusting.” She’s adamant that she is unwilling to cease contact with these former sexual partners under any circumstances. What’s a guy to do?A “guy” either accepts what his fiancee is telling him -- that these old flames are just friends now -- or he terminates the engagement and starts searching for a woman he believes he CAN trust.

I know there’s intense pressure on the husband between work, care of their teenage child and health care for his wife. How can we tactfully stay in touch, and at the same time relieve some of the pressure on the husband? I’d love to set up a bimonthly coffee or lunch, but I realize some days, the wife may not be up for it.You ARE a good friend, and a caring one. Every caregiver needs an occasional break so he or she can recharge.

It would be a kindness to call him and offer to be with his wife for a few hours so he can spend some time doing things for himself that he may have postponed. I can’t promise that he’ll take you up on it, but he may.
