Better Late Than Never?

My wife is always late. She makes me late. She makes our kids late. It drives us crazy – me, and the kids, I mean. Not my wife. Isn’t it always that way? The perpetrator of the tardiness never seems as affected by it as the victims are.

Dear Case,

My fiancé and I are getting married in the fall and my folks have graciously offered to foot the bill. We have envisioned an intimate affair with close friends and family but my mom keeps adding to the guest list. She is adding every acquaintance, coworker and long-lost family member. I don’t even know some of these people! It’s turning from a small gathering into a full-on gala. How do we come to a compromise?

Pre-Nups: How to Keep “I Do” From Meaning “I Owe”

The wedding plans are made and you’re sporting a beautiful ring – all is perfect with the world. Hopefully. But, your friend Alexandria just told you her husband just left her and is asking for half of her house in the divorce agreement. Wow! That’s not very nice!

Case Studies:  My Hubby Spends Too Much

Dear Case,

I have been married for 10 years. With the gift giving season just past us, my annual anxiety over our financial inequality has kicked in. Every year, my husband showers me with holiday presents that are thoughtful and extremely generous. I find myself trying to reciprocate, but I am stretched very thin. I have a large family with a long gift list that requires me to be creative and frugal with my budget, whereas he only gets presents for me. Even though I know it is not a contest for the largest gift pile, I still feel guilty. He is gracious and says that he just likes to see me happy, but I always feel embarrassed. I find myself stretching even more to give back, going into debt, worrying and still not even coming close to his openhandedness. How should I have gotten over being the poor sap and embraced the holiday spirit and the thought that counts?

When Did Tiger Become A Dog?

Several women, SEVERAL, have come out publicly and alleged they had affairs with Tiger Woods. We’re not talking “I made a mistake” here…we’re talking David Duchovny “I’m a sex addict.” According to the Wall Street Journal, “Advertisers haven’t aired TV commercials featuring Mr. Woods since shortly after the scandal broke.” How did this iconic athlete with a squeaky-clean image fall?

If You Don’t Take Care of the Customer, Someone Else Will

Last year a friend of mine who’d been married for eight years found out that her husband had been cheating on her with a girl from his work.  On the outside it didn’t make sense – she’s got flawless skin, a perfect pilates body and she’s funny as hell.  We imagined the worst – an early mid-life crisis vs. a 21-year-old hottie.  It would have been a lot easier had that been the case.  I could’ve told her what an ass he was and how he didn’t deserve her – but inside, I knew this guy wasn’t a total scumbag.  See, my friend’s gorgeous skin and body was no match for what this other woman possessed:  the ability to make her man feel like a million bucks.
