As the temperature rises and summer rears its lovely head, Milwaukee is reawakening with all sorts of activities. From concerts and social groups to drag shows and bingo games, this week is loaded with fun. In my social calendar this week, you’ll even find a bowling tournament and a golf outing. Get out there and enjoy the day! What are you waiting for?
Oh, wait … I know what you’re waiting for! You’re waiting for a message from one of my readers, aren’t you? Well, here you go!
Dear Ruthie,
My husband of only 1 year cheated on me with a guy from the bar we hang out at. We kept running into the guy because that’s the bar he hangs out at, too. Seeing him usually results in a fight between my husband and I, and one night I got so pissed that I cheated on my husband with another guy.
Unfortunately, this new guy also hangs out at our bar, causing even more awkwardness when we go out. It’s a mess. I know, I’m to blame for part of this. Where can we go from here? How can we fix this?
Thanks for Your Help,
Mad At Myself
Dear Maddy,
- Find a new bar.
- Go to couple’s counseling.
- Don’t cheat again.
- Make a commitment to work on your relationship
- Send me photos of the other two hotties. Shirtless would be good.
