'I feel as if my husband is rejecting me'

My husband doesn't like cuddling after sex. What can I do about this? I feel as if he's rejecting me.

This has nothing to do with rejection at all. Psychologists believe men and women perceive intimacy differently, which is all there is to it. I'm pretty sure he cuddles you at some point. As long as the two of you are still having sex, and enjoying it, I'd stop worrying too much.

I have had a crush on this girl for over three years, but have never been able to tell her how I really feel. We have gone on a couple of dates, but it never turns into anything even remotely romantic. We just discuss work, our career prospects and go home. I don't know how she feels about me or if she has any feelings at all, because I don't get any hints from her. I'm afraid to broach the subject too, because I don't want to frighten her and damage the friendship we have. What can I do? Should I email her? What if she stops speaking to me forever? I'm torn between both possibilities.

It seems to me as if you don't really have an option but to speak to her about how you feel. The two of you are friends, and have been for a while, which ought to count for something. Human beings can't always read cues, and some require direct communication. If you feel so strongly about her, you owe it to yourself to tell her this. If she is your friend, and you tell her how you have been afraid to speak because your friendship matters, I'm sure she will respond like an adult rather than a petulant child. Emailing is a bad idea because you really should have this conversation with her in person. Will you be able to live with yourself if, years from now, you find out she had feelings for you all along and was simply waiting for you to speak up?
