I am a woman, 42, who three years ago married a wonderful man who will be 48 on his next birthday. I love him very, very much. The only problem is our sex life is horrible. Pretty much nonexistent. I can safely say we have had sex maybe 20 times in our six-year relationship. When I've tried numerous times to talk to him, he gets defensive and says, "There's nothing wrong with me." He also says, if I want to have sex, I should just say so. But when I make advances, he pushes me away thinking I...
British Airways canceled Maureen Kelleher's flight from Cairo to Boston and rebooks her on a different airline. But it also downgrades her from business class to economy class.

My ticket on British Airways was in business class, but British Airways rebooked me on Egyptair in a leftover seat at the back of the plane in...
PK Agarwal's new Samsung dryer is damaged during the delivery. But the company refuses to replace it. Find out why -- and how you can avoid a similar problem.

I say "supposedly" because when I got around to using the dryer a few weeks later, I discovered it makes a loud, clunky sound. I contacted Samsung support on the same day I discovered the...

Our daughter is 27 and has a severe alcohol problem. The last two years have been nightmarish. At last she is in a flat so we have a peaceful home, although my husband and I still brace ourselves waiting to hear of an accident or some other tragedy involving our daughter. Thank God she has no children. The pattern has deteriorated into her drinking 11 or 12 days and then being hospitalized when her body can’t take any more and she goes into withdrawal. We take her to hospital as she has fits w...
After Budget finds animal hairs in Bernard Sia's rental car, it charges him a $125 cleaning fee. But Sia doesn't have a pet -- and that's not the only problem. Budget charged my credit card a fee of $125 after finding animal hair in a rental car that I returned. I do not have any pets, and the people I stayed with on my trip to Austin, Texas, do not have any pets. I asked for a damage report. It is not clear how they determined that what they found was animal hair. Additionally, they made the...
None of Jacquelyn Smith's appliances work properly. Repeated visits by GE technicians have failed to fix the problems. What can she do? I ordered GE appliances during the pandemic, including a new range, refrigerator, and dishwasher. GE delivered them in February 2022. The range and refrigerator have malfunctioned since day one. The refrigerator froze food no matter what setting, and the range consistently burned and boiled food one notch above "low." I had three visits by GE technicians for...

When Grant Erwin tries to pay for parking at Seattle's waterfront, a website called ParkWhiz charges him $115 -- even though it claims his transaction didn't go through. Can he get a refund?
