Two years ago, I made the greatest mistake of my life. I started dating a coworker. She is this beautiful young girl that totally captivated my world when I met her. As time went by, I realized we have almost nothing in common, including music, food, sports, movies, and outdoor activities, to name just a few. Worst of all, there is no passion between us. Furthermore, I do not feel welcomed at her house, and I don't fit within her circle of friends for two reasons. I'm seven years older and come...
Daryl DeCrow cancels his Tauck cruise after it imposes a COVID vaccine requirement. Does he deserve a refund? In early 2021, my girlfriend and I booked a fall foliage riverboat cruise with Tauck. At the time, there was no requirement for us to be vaccinated for the COVID-19 virus. A year later, just before our cruise, I received a "COVID-19 Policy Update For Your Upcoming Journey" email. It required all guests to be "up to date" with their vaccinations. We would have never booked this tour if...
Jackie Owens' home has a gas leak, according to Eversource Gas, her energy company. But that's wrong, and the error cost her $222. Can she get her money back? I have a problem with Eversource Gas, our energy company in western Massachusetts. An Eversource gas company technician came to our door recently, claiming someone passing by our home called them to say they smelled gas and he needed to check our furnaces. After his check, he said we had gas leaks from both of our furnaces and that he had to shut them down. I called a licensed heating...

My husband of four years has been arrested for the fourth time for hurting me. This time, he strangled me. I always go back with him. He is in jail now with no money to post for his own bail. I thought I loved him, but lately, I can't stand his behind. He is unemployed and so possessive it's hard for me to breathe sometimes. He follows me from room to room and, if I'm on the phone, mutes the television so he can listen. A year ago we separated, and I filed for divorce. We reconciled in November...
When Airbnb bans Svitlana Marchenko from the site, it won't tell her why. Could it have something to do with her residence? The answer is complicated. Airbnb has suspended my account, but it won't tell me why. Now it won't even respond to me. I've used Airbnb frequently. The last time I rented a room in a hostel in Romania was in August when I left Ukraine. Everything went well, including the payment. In November, I again wanted to rent an apartment through Airbnb, but I could not log into my...
One of John Edmunds' new American Tourister bags is defective. Does he have to ship it to Texas at his expense, or can he get an exchange? Last summer, I bought two pieces of American Tourister luggage: a 24-inch and a 28-inch Pirouette NXT. On the second trip with the luggage, the stitching that holds the zipper mechanism to the luggage frame started pulling loose on the 24-inch piece of luggage. Suspecting this was a manufacturing defect, I went to the American Tourister website for a...

I am currently going through a divorce, and we've been negotiating the terms of the settlement for a year and a half without agreement. I have started a relationship with another woman, but I'm in a saddening, irresponsible situation that was mischievously planned by the ex. About four months ago, I went to the ex's to pick up our two young children. She begged me to have sex with her one last time, and she swore she would leave me alone forever if I did this. She desperately begged, begged,...
Krista O'Brien accidentally pays $449 extra for her checked luggage on an Aer Lingus flight. Why won't the airline help her undo the mistake? I recently booked tickets through the Aer Lingus website. When I did, the site only listed a carry-on as included with the fare rather than both a carry-on and one checked bag before the final purchase. I was confused, and I unknowingly added three extra checked bags, which was unnecessary. I overpaid Aer Lingus $449 because it included an additional...
When a U.S. Customs agent confiscates Adriana Cordero's passport, she tries to get it back. But government bureaucracy is standing between her and her ID. Last year, U.S. Customs confiscated my passport in Montreal as I was returning to the United States. The reason the officer gave me was that it had been reported as “lost or stolen.” It was neither because I was holding it in my hands! What I had reported as “lost or stolen” was my passport card. I applied for both a passport and a passpor...
