'How do I tell my wife to stop flashing strangers?'

I am a shy person, while my wife is frank and talkative. I have always overlooked her habit of striking small conversations with random men like taxi drivers, bus conductors, shopkeepers, etc. as normal, until she admitted to being an exhibitionist a while ago. To cut a long story short, I have, over the years, found her sneakily flashing strangers. I used to assume this was accidental, but she is so good at it that she makes it look accidental, while seeming to be unaware of their glares. When I finally confronted her last month, she came clean about her fetish. I didn't respond when she asked me what I thought about this. She has taken my silence to mean approval and is now bolder than before. A recent trip to Alibaug was a harrowing experience for me. Her behaviour around the driver of our rented car, the landlord of our guesthouse, a coconut vendor, and a shared rickshaw ride was not nice. I want her to stop, but I think this will make her angry because she believes I approved her habit. Being shy doesn't help, because I can't put my points across firmly. Please help.

If your wife is an exhibitionist and you have a problem with this, I'm not sure how writing to a dating and relationship column in a newspaper will help. I suggest you both speak to a counsellor, so she can understand the reason for this behaviour better, while you may find a way of coping with it. As for being shy, if this is obviously a problem for you, you should work on just trying to tell your wife how you feel about things. Silence is never an option because it leaves room for reinterpretation, as you have found out to your detriment.

I am in love with a girl.

Congratulations. I'm happy for you. The next time you e-mail, please try and remember to mention what exactly the problem with this situation is though.
