Ask Barbara
Questions, questions, questions about relationships. Most people have plenty, and many are exactly the same. How long should you wait for a commitment? Why does my husband hate being pinned about touchy issues late at night? Why does my wife hate quickies? Can you trust someone who cheated? "Show me a relationship without conflict and issues and I'll show you a couple that is either dead or in denial," says author Barbara De Angelis. Her pithy answers are full of catchy labels like Toxic In-laws and Emotional Vampires. She stresses common sense, hard choices, and specific steps toward improvement.
