Dear Voice of Experience:

A little over a year ago when I was feeling blue, I went to my paraon for advice. We fell in love and decided to go away. We did but our money ran out and two weeks later we had to return. My husband took me back all right.

Now I have a new problem, he isn't nearly as affectionate as he was when we were first married. What would you advise me to do?
