DEAR ABBY: I don’t think I’ve read about this problem before, and I can’t find help on the internet. I have been married for many years and have had this problem from the beginning. Every time I touch or snuggle up next to my husband, he starts sweating profusely. It starts within just a second or two. It’s not just his torso, but even his arms and legs, or any place my skin touches his.
This is a huge turn-off because it’s like snuggling up to a slimy animal. This has affected our sex life our entire marriage. Wearing pajamas is obviously out of the question for him because he runs hot. Has anybody ever written to you about this particular problem? – SWEATING IN GEORGIA
DEAR SWEATING: I can’t recall having been asked about something like this, nor have I heard of it. I’m unsure if your husband needs to consult a dermatologist or a psychologist to understand what’s causing it, but if I were him, I’d start with a call to my doctor.
DEAR ABBY: I am a man who has been single for a while. I have two female friends who I feel genuinely care about me. They each have told me that I should go on social media and start dating. I’m not really interested in doing that.
I want to remarry one day, but for the right reasons, not because I’m lonely. I want to be with that person because they make me better and make me smile. When I see her photo, and see or hear her name, I want my heart and face to light up.
