Zach in West Sand Lake wrote: I've been married to my wife for 19 years and I just don't find her attractive anymore.  She's beautiful on the inside but I'd be lying to ya if I told you that my mind doesn't stray from time to time.  I would never act on it, because I'm a faithful man but  after 2 kids and a lifestyle that has never included the gym, she's really let herself go.  I'm past the point

Terrance in Troy writes: I'm sure you hear this type of thing all the time, but there is a major divide in my household over next months election. My wife and I are both in our early 30's and while we seem to agree on most things - and surprisingly get along very well - we're split on the election.  I'm trying to get her to vote for my candidate, otherwise our votes will just cancel each others ou

Tanya in North Greenbush writes: My boyfriend is super insecure and always accuses me of being unfaithful even though I would never cheat on him.  I have some male friends male co-workers who I occasionally socialize with but they all know I'm taken and never cross the line.  Sometimes I catch him leaning over my shoulder trying to read texts, and last week he showed up unannounced at work - he sa

Daryll in West Sand Lake writes: My GF and I have been dating for about 2.5 months.  We both agreed that we're going to take things slow as we're both less than two years removed from divorce.  The other day she told me that '"her parents are excited to meet me" and that they invited us over next weekend for dinner. I was obviously uncomfortable and told her that I wasn't ready to meet t

Nick in Troy writes: How do I tell my friend to start taking care of himself?  He and I are both 22 and while I for the most part keep in pretty decent shape,  he is very overweight, always eats bad food, he smells horribly like he doesn’t shower or use deodorant, and his hair looks like it has never been washed or cut properly...

Amy in Wynantskill writes: My boyfriend is so bad with money and it drives me crazy.  He always has money to hang with the fellas and go drinking, or bet on football games.  But he never has money to take me out, or plan a nice trip or something.  Sometimes I wonder if he actually has the money, but just doesn't want to spend any of it on us.  What are your thoughts Love Cowboy. Could Amy's boyfri

Gwenyth in Averil Park writes: I'm 37 years old, been divorced for about 8 years and dating a guy that I really like.  We started seeing each other right be COVID hit and what I like about him is that he's a very simple man.  He's not into anything fancy, he's not high maintenance, he's just neat, clean orderly and trustworthy...

One of our favorite things to do with Love Cowboy is to listen to his various redneck interpretations of standard, normal everyday things.  So every few months, we allow him to spout off on topics that have nothing to do with relationships. He's done this before with COVID terms, political terms, and this time around he did it for Fall things.  Listen to Love Cowboy's unique interpretation leaf pe

Erica in Fonda writes: About 2 years ago I got out of a pretty bad marriage and have been single ever since but have done zero dating.  I'm only 25 years old and I met my ex-husband when I was in high school so as far as experience with men, my ex has been it.  Next weekend I'm going out on pretty much my first date ever with a guy I met online and was wondering if you had some tips for me.  Where

Kara in Galway writes: I'm 34, my boyfriend is 26. And I really don't need much. I'm a simple girl but on the rare occasion I ask for flowers or quality time from my live in boyfriend, he can’t seem to do this yet claims he loves me. He says flowers are for old married couples and that he'd spend more quality time with me, but he doesn't know my schedule meanwhile it hasn't changed in 6 months. We

Riley in Colonie writes I really don't know any other way to say it- the guy my friends are trying to set me up with has really bad teeth.  It's not like I'm some model or anything, and I'm far from picky, but it's a little too much to overcome. I don't know how to tell them- especially because it's the cousin of one the friends trying to set me up.  This is tricky and I wanted ask the Love Cowboy

Patrick in Niskayuna writes: I've been seeing this girl for three months. We text constantly and see each other nearly every other day and it feels like we're in a relationship yet when I bring up anything about being "mutual" she says she doesn't want a boyfriend. I'm confused. At what point do you walk away from someone you really care about?  So, here's the issue: Is three months enou
