Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for 30 years. It is our second marriage for both of us. Our kids are grown and gone, and we are retired. We are together usually 24/7, which is fine. He is somewhat insecure, and I do a lot to take care of him. I do all the cooking, pay the bills, etc. He takes care of me also. The issue is, I have a sister who spends October through May in a southern resort area. Everyone in the family has been to visit except me. I have been hoping for years to go. I suggested it, and my husband has no interest in going. He told me to go by myself.

Dear Wondering: While it’s normal for married couples to depend on one another and spend much of their time together, it’s so important for both parties to have interests and hobbies outside the marriage. You’re not wrong for wanting to visit your own sister with or without the company of your husband. Follow through on the trip and ask your husband to reconsider visiting, too, even if only for a few days.
My “friend” lives three states away, and they haven’t been physically together. We tried counseling, and at the first session, when the counselor said it sounded like he was having an emotional affair, he got furious and refused to go back. He then moved to the other end of the house.
