Signing big cheque a passport to happiness

Hey there, time traveller!

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I can see this pair of long legs encased in patterned black stockings under the desk outside my office door at work. Does it bother me? Hell yeah. Do I say anything to my executive assistant with the legs, brains and funny sense of humour? No, because I’m a good man. I’m married to an older woman, but not happily. I haven’t had a kind word from my wife, nor any teeth-rattling sex, since Thanksgiving 2013 when I turned 40.

My wife, who is 12 years older, says she has “female troubles,” but I heard her tell her bridge club recently I was actually her “female troubles,” not anything else. She’s bored of sex with me. They all agreed their husbands were boring in bed, and they all cracked up laughing. I was near the back door listening. I hate her now! All she does is dabble in art and charity work. We have no kids because of her age. If I leave her, she gets a lot of my money she doesn’t deserve. What should I do?

— Ready to Take Off, Winnipeg

Dear Ready to Take Off: You may be well off monetarily, but your soul is starving to death. You know how to make more money, so talk to your lawyer and get yourself free. You need love and touch and family and companionship and perhaps kids, as you are a younger man. Making the move to gain your freedom is like signing a very big cheque — it hurts while you’re doing it, but the pain wears off quickly if you’re buying something wonderful, such as happiness and the freedom to pursue a warm love.
