A Dad’s Point-of-View: The best thing about getting older is …

I had lunch with a good friend the other day and the subjects we covered really made an impact on me, as I reflected on them. I had just come from a lesson in using social media, where I’m learning the new technologies that are popular in our culture now, such as Twitter, Facebook, Linkenin, Smart Phones, I-everythings, etc.

While I’m not a total novice, I do admit that every time a new “thing” comes out, it fills me with dread. I face having to learn it, figure it out, and even understand it. Frankly, I did not “get” Twitter at all until my lessons finally penetrated my middle-aged, failing hard-drive of a brain. And that was also after reading “Twitter for Dummies”-and I’m not kidding.

Dear Wayne,
I’ve been dating this girl for about two years. Things are pretty good. She’s been talking about marriage. It’s just that the sex has gotten a little stale. It pisses me off that she doesn’t initiate. Seems like, more and more, I’d rather work later or make plans with my buddies than hang with her. It’s messed up. How do I turn this around?

Dear Wayne,
I’ve been married for several years, and we have a young daughter. We have had a pretty good marriage over the years. Though we have had our rough spots, I have never cheated. I have made a real effort lately to be a better husband, and it seems to be working. Then, out of the blue, I receive an e-mail from an old girlfriend who tells me she wants to meet for coffee. Just when things are getting better, I have to deal with this. I feel like I’m spinning out of control. I don’t know what to do.

Dear Wayne,
What can I do about my wife? I work 10-hour days, busting my hump for her. When I get home I have to deal with my kids and put out more fires. The last thing I want to do is to have to listen to her complaining. How can I get her to give me a break?
