Dear Queenie,
We’ve been married for almost 30 years but my husband never pays me a compliment or gets affectionate in public, although he has no problem kind of flirting with other women. He also keeps busy with a lot of outside activities, so we don’t have much time together at home.
Queenie, I don’t want to nag him to spend more time with me. What can I do?—Feeling neglected
Dear Feeling neglected,
It is easier for some men to pay a compliment to a stranger than to someone they are close to. As for spending time together, try to find outside activities that your husband is interested in and try to get him to go with you.
You might also consider marriage counselling – and try to get him to go with you for that too.
