Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: My husband, who is a very sexual person, has found excuses not to have sex with me for a month now. Something is up, and it’s not him. My imagination is going crazy. I’m wondering if he strayed and caught some communicable disease, but I don’t want to say anything. He did stray once about five years ago and I caught him, and we almost broke up. What should I do?

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: My husband, who is a very sexual person, has found excuses not to have sex with me for a month now. Something is up, and it’s not him. My imagination is going crazy.

— Scared and Frustrated, St. Boniface

 

Dear Scared: Say to him, “It’s been a month and you haven’t wanted to have sex with me. I miss making love and want to know what’s wrong,” If he stays silent, say: “Please tell me what’s going on with you. It’s better to know than not to know. We can work through whatever the problem is.” That should at least open the door to a discussion. Sometimes men go through periods of depression, stress, sexual malaise, hormone imbalance or erectile dysfunction. Unfortunately, sometimes the truth is they’ve found someone new and are being “true” to the new lover.

Jets pick up netminder as relatively new 23-man roster announced

Mike McIntyre 7 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 9:25 PM CDT

Let’s get the caveats out of the way: Nothing is set in stone, nor written in permanent ink, and what you see right now could change in the blink of an eye.

With that being said, allow us to introduce you to the 2026-27 Winnipeg Jets — where change is very much in the air.

The 23-man roster submitted to the NHL offices by Monday’s 4 p.m. deadline includes seven players who were not on the team at this time last year. In fact, there could be as many as 10 new faces in the opening-night lineup on Friday against Boston when you factor in three regulars didn’t start the 2025-26 campaign due to injury.

That’s a lot of turnover, which isn’t surprising for a team that finished 26th overall in the standings and was — to most fans and pundits — too old and too slow.

Moon alert: Avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions until 1 p.m. After that, there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The moon is in Gemini.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

A busy, chatty day. Your communication skills are excellent. Wait until the moon alert is over to commit to any important decisions or ideas. Tap into your creative talents. It’s also a lovely day to schmooze and enjoy sports and kids’ activities.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Restaurants ‘under pressure’

Gabrielle Piché 4 minute read Friday, Sep. 25, 2026

Happy hour outings are on Jackie Piggott’s calendar — but even those are fewer.

She and her husband might visit a restaurant once a month. It’s a change over the past year: earlier, they might go twice, thrice or weekly.

“It’s something that we’ve talked about, my husband and myself, just because the pricing is so expensive,” Piggott said, stopping during a grocery run in St. Vital. “It’s also better for our health.”

She’s in the majority: a new Restaurants Canada report found 80 per cent of Canadians are eating out less frequently because of higher living costs, up from 75 per cent in 2025.

Other options are closer

Every Winnipeg driver learns this lesson eventually: keep your eyes on the horizon too long and the pothole gets you. Manitoba’s energy debate has the same problem. We keep looking far down the road for the next big project and missing what’s close at hand.

Scott Forbes (Time for 21st-century leadership at MB Hydro, Think Tank, Sept. 24) makes a strong case for more wind and storage. But much of this debate is still measured in thousands of megawatts, generated far from where the power is used.

The more immediate opportunity is close to home.
