Ask Mr. Relationship, No. 2

He is an expert at what is best for relationships and that's why he's called Mr. Relationship and answers questions about the intimacy of relationships.

Q: I don't like to change my socks more than three times a year but I'm told by my wife that she doesn't like the practice because it makes my feet stink. I think, hey, it's an intimate stink so she should deal with it.

A: Intimacy should be free of anything that stinks. Unless a partner enjoys a smelly something or other, the person who smells should do everything possible to get rid of the smell.

Q: I'm kinky in a certain way that is so private I am not going to describe it here. However, this disgusting thing that turns me on is not compatable with most people I meet, so I have no lovelife. If I don't give it up, what will happen?

A: You still won't have a love life.

Q: My wife is so different from me that we often wonder how we liked each other in the first place. Is that possible?

A: It's possible and common. People who don't like someone often marry them and after ten or so years recognize the differences between them are vast and will never change. So, turns out you two are normal.

Q: I'm the guy from the first question. I decided to change my socks every day. My wife likes that my feet don't stink anymore but she wants a divorce because I hit her a lot.

A: It wasn't your feet after all. You stink.

Q: My next door neighbour asked if she could sleep with my husband. Is that something I should allow?

A: Only if it will be a threesome.

Q: My girlfriend said she and I no longer belong together because she doesn't love me, she loves someone else. Does one have to love to belong?

A: It's a philosophic question. To love is to feel you belong. Yet, to belong does not always require love. Belonging and loving do not mean one needs to love to belong or belong lovingly. That's the belong and short of it. Luck to you.
