Partner's Obsession with Ex-Neighbour Causes Relationship Strain
A reader writes to Jane O'Gorman, the Daily Star's agony aunt, about their partner's unhealthy fixation on a successful former neighbour. The woman, who runs her own company and lives in an impressive house, has become the object of intense jealousy and anger. The partner monitors her on social media, physically stalks her by driving to her new home, and even fantasises about her sex life during intimacy, leaving the reader feeling sickened.
Jane advises the partner to focus on her own life and talents, warning that stalking could lead to police involvement for harassment. She urges the reader to make it clear that the obsession must stop for the sake of their relationship.
Sex Drought Due to Resentment Over Rural Move
Another reader describes a sexless relationship after moving to a remote village to fulfil their partner's dream. Working from home and isolated, the reader misses city life, family, and friends. Resentment has led to frequent arguments and a complete lack of intimacy.
Jane suggests accepting that country living may not be for them and insists on a serious conversation with the partner about options. She emphasises prioritising mental well-being over someone else's dream, noting that life is short.
