Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: My husband is out of town a lot and we have no kids and hardly any sex. I naturally need sex every day or twice a day — morning and night. My husband calls me names for wanting more sex. He has a low sex drive and I have been starved for affection ever since we were married. (I was a 22-year-old virgin). He recently said he wasn't interested in my lousy moves, and "a guy would be more fun than you!" and laughed strangely.

Hey there, time traveller!

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: My husband is out of town a lot and we have no kids and hardly any sex. I naturally need sex every day or twice a day — morning and night. My husband calls me names for wanting more sex. He has a low sex drive and I have been starved for affection ever since we were married. (I was a 22-year-old virgin). He recently said he wasn’t interested in my lousy moves, and “a guy would be more fun than you!” and laughed strangely.

I’ve actually been having an affair for over a year. The man is kind, gentle, supportive and loves me. Two weeks ago, he asked me to leave my husband and continue a life with him. I packed my belongings and left, just like that. When my husband came back from his three-week “business trip” where he got a tan, he hunted me down with the help of my nasty sister.

He stood on the doorstep as my new guy blocked the door. He looked my guy up and down and lingered staring at his mid-section and said, “You’re better looking that she is. You’re welcome to the (witch).” Then he turned and left. Do you think my ex is bisexual? That night explain a lot of things.

— Wondering Now, Winnipeg

 

Dear Wondering Now: Your husband does not seem averse to sex with men, as he was boldly flirting with your new guy in front of you. A straight guy wouldn’t have been able to do that, angry or not. And he didn’t seem to want much sex with you when he was home. On his very long “business” trips, he may well have had sex with other people too. How about you two call it a draw? Neither of you is suited to the other, you have a new guy and your husband may have one, too. There are no kids, thank goodness, so just split things up fairly, and let it go.

Woman who saved child, father from Red River uncomfortable with hero label

Scott Billeck 5 minute read Wednesday, Sep. 2, 2026

A Winnipeg woman who’s been hailed as a hero by police for saving a father and his young child from the Red River says she doesn’t feel like one.

“I’m a mom… and I would do it again,” said Jayclyn Morrissette, who was walking with her neighbour through St. John’s Park on Aug. 24 when they spotted a young girl flailing in the nearby river. “I was meant to be there and that was supposed to happen.”

Morrissette, who spoke to the Free Press Wednesday after police released details about the rescue, said she and her neighbour began looking for the child’s parents and found them at the nearby playground searching for her.

Morrissette waved them over. The father, who she said could not swim, jumped into the river first and immediately began to sink.

REGINA – Jermarcus Hardrick knows exactly what kind of battle he is in for on Sunday in the 61st edition of the Labour Day Classic.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders right tackle has ample experience lining up opposite Winnipeg Blue Bombers defensive end Willie Jefferson, both as teammates and opponents during the past decade and change.

In this pivotal matchup between Prairie rivals jockeying for position in the CFL West Division, this head-to-head battle in the trenches figures to be must-see TV.

“Willie is one of my best friends, one of the best players in the league. It’s amazing to see what he’s doing on film, what he’s always done on film,” said Hardrick, who spent eight seasons with the Blue Bombers before joining the Roughriders in 2024 as a free agent. “With the way that you know he plays and what he can do to a team with his energy and knowing that’s on the other side from you all game, that’s a big challenge that you look forward to.

Wonderful wines to help welcome autumn

Ben Sigurdson 4 minute read Yesterday at 3:00 AM CDT

As we creep ever closer to fall, many wine drinkers will start to think about popping corks (or screwcaps, as it were) on wines that suit cooler temperatures.

But summer’s not quite done yet. Here are six new and/or notable wines ideal for sipping as we make the transition from warmer weather into the first hints of autumn…

Wines of the weekThe Willm NV Blanc de Noirs Crémant d’Alsace Brut (Alsace, France — $28.99, Liquor Marts and beyond) is a French bubbly made from the Pinot Noir grape in the traditional method (secondary fermentation, which creates the bubbles, happens in the bottle rather than in tanks before bottling).

It’s pale gold with a hint of pink, and on the nose offers ripe cherry, cranberry, bread dough and strawberry compote notes. On the palate it’s light-bodied and mainly dry, with an almost-wild herbal component coming with the strawberry, tart peach, cranberry, raspberry and bread dough flavours.

Smith’s pretzel logic confuses

Editorial 4 minute read Yesterday at 2:01 AM CDT

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith had both sides of her mouth working overtime on Aug. 30, when she spoke at an event in Calgary to commemorate Alberta Day, the annual celebration of the province’s entry into Confederation in 1905 (officially Sept. 1, it was celebrated on the weekend).

Smith’s comments — and the things she did not say — revealed a lot about the political tightrope the premier is trying to walk over the challenges currently faced by her province. At the top of that list of challenges is a persistent campaign to separate Alberta from the aforementioned Confederation. A campaign that Smith appears to both support and oppose, depending on which day of the week it is.

Her Alberta Day remarks were an excellent case in point.

Smith has decided that on Oct. 19, Albertans will vote on a series of non-binding propositions in a province referendum. One of those questions will ask Albertans whether they want to hold a referendum on separation, thus making this fall’s vote a “referendum on whether to hold a referendum,” as some observers have dubbed it.
