Steve and Mia: For hubby, vid games are better than sex

Q:I'm happily married and love my husband, but lately he feels more like a roommate. He's lost all interest in sex. He spends a lot of time playing "World of Warcraft" while I take care of our three kids. I also work outside the home. I'm very frustrated. Help!

Mia: Schedule a vacation, girl. And don't take your kids. Mom and pop need alone time. If you can't get away, send your kids to the grandparents and turn your home into a love oasis. Buy some slinky lingerie and put on some Barry White. Whatever you do, don't let this problem fester.

Steve: Sounds like your man isn't carrying his share of the family workload. I like Mia's idea of a getaway. While you're enjoying it, have a good conversation about him helping out more.

Q: I'm HIV-positive. Recently, I was riding the bus, and I saw my former lover. It brought up so many emotions that I didn't know what to do. So I just got off before my stop. He didn't see me. Now, every time I get on SEPTA, I'm worried about bumping into him again. I don't know whether to punch him in the face or just let it go. I mean, if I don't get back with him, who's going to want me?

Steve: Being HIV-positive doesn't mean you can't have a relationship. Reach out to a support group where you'll find many in your situation.

Mia: Hold off on doing anything before you talk with someone. Bebashi (215-769-3561) or the Council for Relationships (215-575-9140) are good places to start.
