Secret Phone Sex

Q. My partner and I haven't had sex in months. I suspect he's spending nights doing phone sex. I asked him about this, and he denied it.

Whether or not your partner is indeed engaging in phone sex, your relationship is in trouble. Go together to see a couples counselor, preferably one who is knowledgeable about how the phone sex can affect relationships. If your husband is unwilling to go, then it is very likely that he is hiding some behavior. In this case, it would be helpful for you to see a counselor alone in order to sort out your options.
