I know I get on well with my boyfriend’s family. We’ve been an item for a few years now, but at a recent party, his dad tried to kiss me after giving me a playful smack on the bum. We’d all had too much to drink but I told my boyfriend about it right away. In the morning, I didn’t make an issue of it as it looked as if both father and son had forgotten an about the incident.

DID it ever occur to you that when you stood at the altar and promised to love your husband ‘in sickness and in health,’ that one day you’d be forced to confront the reality of those vows? You ought to. This is life. We’re all going to get old. Some of us may suffer long-term or terminal illness or have accidents that leave us unable to look after ourselves. When accidents happen, would you be able to look after your sick spouse unconditionally? Would your husband do it for you? More to the point, would you want him to?

SOME nine years ago, Ajoke had the world virtually at her feet. She owned two impressive cars, designer clothes, expensive watches that included a gold Rolex and a house of her own, all paid for. She said she woke up every morning pinching herself if it was really her that was rolling on the lap of such luxury. Only in her late 30s, she’d grown up in a family of six. “I went to government schools, but thanks to my brilliance, I got scholarships for most of my education up to the university level”, she said.

A few weeks after my boyfriend and I had sex, we discovered we were both itchy in our genital areas.
