Ask Amy: Husband needs to re-watch “Pretty Woman”

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 00:57:57 GMT

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 We have not had sex in many years.That part of our relationship is over but has been superseded by a deeper love.About 10 months ago, Linda said, “I’ve known this man from our West Coast office for a few years.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. And since then, they’ve had three of these “Pretty Woman” meetings.Afterwards, she doesn’t say much but does seem content. She...

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

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 00:57:57 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. Which Greek philosopher was it who said there’s no problem that can’t be solved with a wedding? Right, that would be Nia Vardalos, the franchise star, writer and now director, too. But is she also saying a wedding is the only possible happy ending?That would be out of sync with certain obvious efforts in this ...

Many tour companies are creating experiences for the solo traveler. (Courtesy Road Scholar/Alyssa Bichunsky)This summer, WTOP took you on a tour and explored how adults 50 and older are spending their travels.This fall, Sally Matts is going to Spain. Since her retirement as a human resources professional, the Waldorf, Maryland, woman has become an avid traveler, going on several trips in the U.S. and abroad.“Don’t wait,” said Matts, 71, who is an ambassador with Road Scholar, an organization that specializes in travel for those 50 and older. “Don’t think you can keep putting things off, because you never know.”One thing she said she wished she did more of was travel with her husband, who passed away in his early 60s.“I was still working, and I feel bad that I can’t be traveling with him. I kind of wish we had traveled more,” Matts said. “It would have been nicer if we’re still able to do stuff together. Do some of these trips together.”While Matts wishes she had a travel...

The spotlight in the Alabama-Texas game will be squarely on the 2 QBs, Quinn Ewers and Jalen Milroe

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 00:57:57 GMT

Jalen Milroe’s first coveted jersey growing up in Texas was Vince Young’s No. 10. Nowadays, he is apt to end his media interviews with an enthusiastic “Roll Tide.”Quinn Ewers lifted Longhorns fans’ hopes that they had found another star passer like Young or Colt McCoy with his dazzling start in last year’s Alabama game.Milroe, the third-ranked Crimson Tide’s dynamic new starting quarterback, and Ewers of No. 11 Texas will lead their teams into Saturday night’s showdown at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Not Young, Bryce or Vince.“Vince Young is someone I did watch, as far as highlights,” said Milroe, who is from Katy, Texas, outside Houston. “My family loved Vince Young. Growing up, I was always a Vince Young fan. He was my first jersey that I bought.”Like that Young or Milroe’s predecessor, No. 1 NFL draft pick Bryce Young, quarterbacks at these programs will ultimately be judged by how they perform in games like this one.Milroe especially hasn’t been tested on this stage before, though he d...
