Intense hug from my husband's pal made me feel alive… did I choose the wrong man?

I can't stop thinking about him and want him so badly DEAR DEIDRE Intense hug from my husband's pal made me feel alive… did I choose the wrong man? Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DEAR DEIDRE: MY marriage makes me feel dead inside, but an intense kiss from my husband's pal reminded me that I'm still a sexy and sassy woman. If I'm honest with myself, I've got far more in common with this friend than with my other half. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up I'm 54 and my husband is 57. He's great, but so serious about everything. He likes documentaries and non-fiction books. I enjoyed being married to an intelligent man, but whenever I want to relax and stream the latest film or play a board game at Christmas, he says no. In fact, any time I suggest something fun, like going to a family party, his stock answer is, 'I've got stuff to be getting on with here.' In other words, I'm going alone. I put up with him and just keep myself busy volunteering and looking after the children and grandkids. Before I met my husband, I actually knew his friend. We had a few dates years ago but romance fizzled out. He got married a year after us. He's a chilled, lovely and lively 55-year-old and I often wondered whether I chose the wrong man. He lost his wife to cancer two years ago. I saw him recently at a party for our friends' 30th wedding anniversary. As usual, my husband stayed home. When I hugged and kissed this man goodbye, his aftershave was gorgeous and we held each other for longer than friends would have done. We even shared the most amazing, lingering kiss before someone interrupted us and we both snapped back to reality. I can't stop thinking about him and want him so badly. Dear Deidre on relationships, jealousy and envy He's made me feel alive. I want to experience that excitement again. DEIDRE SAYS: It is natural to still fancy other people. A marriage can lose its va-va-voom and you have to work at it. Your husband sounds blissfully un­aware of how you're feeling, but if he doesn't want to lose you, he deserves to know so he can do something about it. Find a quiet moment to explain that you need to talk to him about something serious. Tell him you're feeling unhappy and that, for you, your relationship feels stale. Have a rational discussion about how you are feeling, rather than attacking him. Suggest that doing more things together could reignite some of the feelings you had when you first met. You may have to be willing to explore some of his interests, too. My support pack, Relationship MOT, will help you. Get in touch with Deidre Every problem gets a personal reply, usually within 24 hours weekdays. Send an email to deardeidre@ You can also send a private message on the DearDeidreOfficial Facebook page. MY DAUGHTER HAS GOT FAT AND WILL NOT GO IN SHOWER DEAR DEIDRE: I AM ashamed to take my daughter out. She used to take pride in her appearance but now she has piled on a load of weight and I have to persuade her to shower. I am her 44-year-old mum. I hate to say it but I dread bumping into someone I know while I am with her. Looks aren't everything, but even my 15-year-old son showers more than my daughter, who is 19. I don't know what has happened to her. She doesn't seem keen to go out. Her best friend, who she has known since primary school, has booked a holiday to Greece with my daughter and a couple of others in a few weeks. All her friends are petite and lovely and I have visions of my daughter squeezing herself into clothes that are inappropriate for her shape. How can I encourage her to make some changes? DEIDRE SAYS: She sounds very low and perhaps depressed. Tell her you are worried about her and see whether she would be willing to talk to her doctor about it. Take her shopping, perhaps with her friend, to encourage her to buy some clothes that will suit her. My support pack Raising Self-Esteem may help both of you to find ways of giving her a boost. As a parent, you can get more help via Young minds ( 0808 802 5544). PARTNER REFUSES TO PAY HER WAY DEAR DEIDRE: HAVING recently given birth to our baby girl, my partner has selfishly given up paying anything towards the bills. She is on maternity leave so still has a bit of income and I think she should pay her way like she always has. I'm a man of 41 and I own a haulage firm. My pockets aren't that deep – I have to plough a lot of the earnings back into the business. Our daughter is three months old and my 29-year-old partner works in a supermarket. She says nappies and baby milk cost a lot and she can't afford to pay for the electricity and broadband. I thought with equality and women wanting the same as men, she would be up for stumping up her own money to keep her and the baby – or am I the issue here? DEIDRE SAYS: Babies are expensive but they are a shared responsibility between the two parents. If you're earning the same amount of money as you were before but your partner is on a reduced income, it is time for you to make some sacrifices too. When the baby is asleep, explain to your partner that you need to work out how best to manage your money. If you don't already have one, an account for bills would be useful, and then you can carve up the rest of your outgoings between you. My support pack Family Finances will help you too. I'M A UNI MISFIT AS I'M TEETOTAL DEAR DEIDRE: I'M FINDING my first year of university difficult because I don't like alcohol. I'm a guy of 19 and having trouble fitting in and socialising. I can't tolerate alcohol and don't even like the taste of it. During a gap year, I travelled with three mates and that was bad enough but I had grown up with them and they knew I didn't like drinking. I thought at university it would be better. I had heard that student bars were closing down and more coffee shops were opening, so I thought there would be less insistence that I drink. But no, the peer pressure to buy alcohol is still there. It's hard to be around people who are drunk when you are trying to join in with the laughs and you are feeling very sober. I love sport so I joined the hockey team and met some like-minded people but even they go drinking after a match. They all get drunk and seem to have a riotous time of it while I feel very dull by comparison. Maybe I'll just keep my head down and not try to be friends with anyone until my course has finished. DEIDRE SAYS: That would be a huge shame. A good social life is one of the most enjoyable aspects of studying at university. Perhaps you're surrounding yourself with the wrong sort of people. You can still be sociable without drinking, so continue to go out and explain to anyone who tries to force alcohol on you that you have an intolerance. If they are dismissive or mean about it, then they're not real friends. There will be other people who feel the same as you do and can't drink, so continue exploring other societies like debating clubs, film clubs or even playing board games. These spaces will take the emphasis away from drinking.

I tested paddling pools from £10 – the winner comes with unique feature and will keep kids entertained for hours

The cheapest Lynsey tested comes in just under £10 POOL PLAY I tested paddling pools from £10 – the winner comes with unique feature and will keep kids entertained for hours Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CHILDREN love water play and splashing around in a paddling pool will keep them cool and burn off excess energy on hot days. There are paddling pools to suit all ages, budgets and gardens - but if you don't want to spend a fortune, then you are in luck. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 8 Lynsey Hope tested paddling pools to see how they compared Credit: Oliver Dixon We have tested the best pools you can buy for £40 or less and there are lots of fun ones to choose from. From fast set options to a pool with basketball hoops for extra fun, here are my favourites: Intex Swim Centre Rectangular Inflatable Paddling Pool £24.99, Smyths Toys Age: 6 plus 8 You will have to buy a pump separately if you want this paddling pool Credit: Oliver Dixon This Intex pool is a good size and can hold a whopping 749 litres of water, so it's big enough for the whole family to enjoy. I liked the extra wide walls too, as you could lounge back on it and watch the kids play on a hot sunny day and it felt very comfy. It also comes with a repair patch in case of puncture. Overall, I thought this pool is a good option that would suit pretty much anyone and all for a wallet friendly price. Performance: 4/5 Price: 5/5 Total: 9/10 Funsicle Turtle QuickSet Pool £30, Argos Age: 6 plus 8 This pool is easy to get set up Credit: Oliver Dixon A super cute pool, the kids were really excited when they saw the turtle blown up and ready for action. It's a quick set so super easy to get ready. You simply inflate the top ring and the pool rises as it fills with water. It took a minute to inflate and though the box says it takes ten minutes to fill, it definitely took a little longer than this - probably more like 25, but it was easy to do. It seems durable and is made from three-ply puncture resistant material. It can hold 757 litres of water and there's probably enough space for three kids to play in the water. It has a built in water sprayer too which provided hours of fun. For £30 I thought it was fun and good value. Performance: 5/5 Price: 5/5 Total: 10/10 Bestway Family Paddling Pool with Basketball Game £39.99, Amazon Age: 3 plus 8 Sport-loving kids will be keen on this interactive paddling pool Credit: Oliver Dixon The basketball hoops added a whole new layer of fun to my kids' excitement when I blew up this paddling pool. They couldn't wait to jump in and were immediately diving in and scoring hoops whilst they played. Handy that it came with two blow up balls as well. Although this pool is one of more expensive ones in our test, it did keep the children entertained for longer. My eldest son Jacob, 10, was also more entertained in this than he was in the plain pools. This also comes with a repair patch, which I think will come in handy as they were jumping around in a lot so probably only a matter of time before there is a puncture. Performance: 5/5 Price: 4/5 Total: 9/10 Home Swimming Pool £21.26, Temu Age: 6 plus 8 Don't buy this if you don't want to be regularly having to top up the air Credit: Oliver Dixon This two-ring rectangular pool was easy to blow up and it was put up and filled with water in less than half an hour. It's a decent size for the price, though it did sag a bit quite quickly. After a couple of hours quite a bit of air had come out and I had to pump a bit more in. However, the two large outer rings were super comfy to relax against and it's a great price." Performance: 3/5 Price: 4/5 Total: 7/10 Intex 1.8m Easy Set Paddling Pool £29.99, The Range Age: 3 plus 8 This robust paddling pool is worth spending a bit more money on Credit: Oliver Dixon Simply blow up the ring and this pool builds as it fills with water. It's not so labour intensive as others but it did take longer to fill - around 30 minutes from start to finish and whilst waiting, the kids were desperate to jump in. It feels robust. The idea walls are made with three separate layers for strength. It's good for smaller children, you can probably get two or three playing in it at once, and it measures around 20 inches deep. It also stayed up in the garden for several days with no maintenance required, other than fishing out grass and leaves. Performance: 4/5 Price: 4/5 Total: 8/10 Polar Pals Inflatable Pool with Play Centre £29.99, Bestway Store Age: 2 plus 8 This paddling pool is a great option for those with smaller gardens Credit: Oliver Dixon What a fun looking pool. There's only a little bit of water in the pool area but it's ideal for smaller kids who prefer running in and out of the water than fully submerging themselves. It has a couple of games to keep little ones entertained too - there's a ring toss game using the narwhal's horn and seal's nose and you can move the seal around to make it harder or easier. Thee's also an inflatable penguin and two foam fish toys for kids to splash with or they can try and feed them into the dolphine's mouth. Super cute and not to huge to store. Great option for smaller gardens too. Performance: 5/5 Price: 4/5 Total: 9/10 Bestway 40inch Safari Themed Kids Inflatable Paddling Pool £9.99, Bestway Store Age: 2 plus 8 This paddling pool is the cheapest on the product test Credit: Oliver Dixon Small and without the bells and whistles of some of the others, but for less than a tenner it's a cute design and it held up well. The three ring construction increases stability and reduces the risks of the sides buckling in and it comes with a repair patch, though it seemed reasonably sturdy. Easy to put up and filled in a matter of minutes. Great option for the price and for smaller gardens - little children are sure to love the cute safari design. Performance: 3/5 Price: 5/5 Total: 8/10 Do you have a money problem that needs sorting?
