My husband and I are both in our 50s with grown children. I am the primary breadwinner. "Billy" is a kind and loving man, who spoke strongly on the impor- tance of being faithful before we were married. We seem to have grown apart over the past year and have not been sexu- ally intimate as often as we used to. I am the reason for this, as I get busy with working full time and spending time with the grandchildren. Plus the fact that I do all the housework. He also has ED prob- lems and doesn't like to take a pill. He feels I just need to keep trying. I get tired of the "keep trying" part. He is impotent, and this doesn't change. He accidentally left his Facebook page up on the computer the other day. I don't use Facebook, but out of curiosity I went to his home page and found messages with different women where he was telling them how beautiful and sexy they are and offering to plea- sure them. The messages go back about five months. They were sent while I was at work and he was unemployed. He is staying some- where else for now and has called several times. Sometimes he says how sorry he is and that nothing ever happened, it was just talk. But other times he says, "Well, you weren't giving me enough atten- tion and I had to get it somewhere." He is right about me not giving him enough attention, but to do this instead of talking to me? Should I talk things ou t w it h hi m a nd s e e if we should try again, or should I get a divorce and be done with him? I'm not really sure if I could ever forgive him. —Angry DEAR ANGRY » You two should definitely talk things out. A marriage counselor can provide the setting, along with some guidance to both of you. I think you prob- ably could forgive your husband's behavior, if you truly believed your situ- ation could be radically different. However, from the tone of your letter, you don't seem motivated to try. Given the conflu- ence of issues, working things out would require mutual commitment and hard work. Even if you decide to permanently part ways, doing so peacefully and with insight into your behaviors and reactions will help both of you in the future. Sometimes counseling helps you to break up. DEAR AMY » The letter writer "Upset" was delu- sional. Her child shared a video of her being blind drunk, and she blamed everyone but herself. — Sad DEAR SAD » Spreading the blame and responsibil- ity for their drinking is what a lco holics do whe n they're not ready to face the actual consequences of their drinking. I hope "Upset" gets help. Young marriage faces old problems in the bedroom You can contact Amy Dickinson via email: askamy@tribpub.com and follow her on Twitter @askingamy.
