I like the blatantly honest answers you give in your columns and website. In brief, I am 44, married 22 years, and contemplating divorce, but hindered by the fact I vowed to go through better or worse with him. A promise is a promise, and a vow is a vow, right? My husband shows me complete disrespect by ridiculing all my requests. When I ask him politely not to leave x, y, and z laying around, he says it's my wifely duty to take care of him. I am tired of getting up when he needs a beer or this...
Louise Panicali's husband receives a $1,000 Marriott gift card for doing a good deed. But the card doesn't work. Will Marriott do a good deed by fixing the problem? My husband received a $1,000 Marriott gift card as a "thank you" for remodeling a bathroom for a needy family. We tried to use the card a few months later at a Westin property in Boston. But when we gave a representative the gift card number, he said someone had already used it at a J.W. Marriott in Orlando. I immediately contacted...
Christy Prince's new GE refrigerator hasn't worked for three months. Should GE replace the appliance? I purchased a new GE refrigerator three months ago. The refrigerator portion stopped cooling approximately 60 days later. The retailer only allows returns before 30 days. But my GE warranty still covers the appliance since it is almost new. I contacted GE, and it scheduled a service call. I had to wait three weeks for a technician because they only had one person who services my area. When the...

I want to express my anguish and clear my thoughts. I was hit by the infamous arrow of my dearest friend and enemy, Cupid. No wonder the song "Stupid Cupid" was created. We all need someone to blame for the heartache and the pain. I met a wonderful guy. We had an almost freakish link from the first time we met, and meeting him was the last thing I planned. I enjoy my solitude so much that I had no intention of getting involved. It wasn't love at first sight, but his benevolence, understanding,...
When Maureen Entwistle and her husband check into a Vrbo rental in North Carolina, they can't breathe. Can they check out and get a refund? My husband and I recently booked a stay through Vrbo in Lake Tuckasegee, North Carolina. When checked in, we noticed a strong, musty smell. My husband and I began to cough, and my husband felt a constriction in his chest. We contacted the manager and Vrbo. The manager did not respond and Vrbo put us on hold twice for nearly an hour. A Vrbo representative...
Lyft charges Peter Leung $80 for spilling a drink in one of its cars. But he says he didn't drink anything. Does he still have to pay? Lyft charged me an $80 damage fee for spilling a drink in one of its cars. However, my friend and I certainly did not bring any drink -- not even water -- on the ride. We are not responsible for the spill. The driver has sent me photos that show liquid on a floor mat. But I've asked Lyft multiple times to provide evidence of when it took the picture. Lyft has ign...

Five months ago, I met a guy, 21, and we fell in love. I am 26. I've come to accept that because I look a lot younger, younger guys will always find me attractive. I got some good advice once that if the relationship is good and makes me happy, people around me will learn to accept the person. Being an African doesn't help the situation because relationships between older women and younger men aren't quite accepted yet. However, my boyfriend and I are doing fine, and my friends and his have acce...
AeroMexico cancels Patrizia Azzellini's flight and offers her a ticket credit. She'd prefer a refund. Who's right? I recently booked a ticket on AeroMexico from Sacramento, Calif., to Sao Paulo, Brazil, with two stops in Mexico. The airline canceled my flight three weeks later and rebooked me on a different flight. The new itinerary added a ten-hour stopover and no longer met my needs, so I asked for a refund. I called AeroMexico three times to ask for my money back. Although the...
When the door on Lauren Butcher's new GE range shatters, the company makes her wait two months for a repair. She wants a new oven. Who's right? I purchased a new GE electric range. I had it for 12 days. On the 13th day, the door glass shattered. When a technician came out, he discovered that there was no insulation in the door. All oven doors are supposed to have insulation. There was a product defect. GE says it is covering the replacement part. It has been two months, and the insulation is...
