Dear Amy: My wife “Linda” and I have been married for 20 years and have two teenage kids.We are close in all ways imaginable — except for sex. We have not had sex in many years.That part of our relationship is over but has been superseded by a deeper love.About 10 months ago, Linda said, “I’ve known this man from our West Coast office for a few years. Now he tells me that he can’t stop thinking about me in a sexual way. And when he visits our office every three months or so, he wants me to visit him in his hotel. He is crazy about me, but he is a family man and doesn’t want our relationship to go beyond his room.”The “he is crazy about me” part really affected her.Linda is a beautiful woman and apparently craves the type of attention that I don’t give her.I agreed that she could give it a try.

Review: ‘Big Fat Greek Wedding 3’ is thrice-warmed baklava

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:38:16 GMT

By Jocelyn Noveck | Associated Press“We’re getting married!” This rather inevitable line crops up early in “My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3,” and if you’re like me, it will inspire mixed reactions.First: Wait, so soon? We didn’t know anyone was even engaged! And second: Phew, it’s about time! Because, just like there can be no sunrise over the glittering Ionian sea without a sun, there can be no “big fat Greek wedding” movie without … you know.Yet the mere fact that a wedding is so crucial to the DNA of this trilogy — which surely will morph into a quadrilogy and then a quintology – raises its own issues.
