Relationship Rehab: ‘Stupid’ texts behind husband’s sex fail

WIFE’S ‘FLIRTY’ TEXTS TO ANOTHER MAN RUINED MY SEX DRIVE

QUESTION: My wife was sexting a bloke who she said she was just “stupid talking” with but I saw the messages and they were very flirty and quite sexual. We are working it out although I’m not 100% convinced she is telling the truth when she says that she’s stopped messaging him. We have an average sex life but now I’m struggling to get in the mood for sex. This is now adding more stress to me trying to work it out. Have I now become impotent from this?

ANSWER: It sounds like you’re experiencing what we would call ‘situational erectile dysfunction’ due to the relationship issues you’re facing. Unfortunately, the added stress that you feel probably isn’t helping.

It’s unlikely to be lasting, especially if you manage to sort your relationship issues out.

Jim’s Mowing pens scathing letter to Dan Andrews

In the letter penned on Monday morning and seen by NCA NewsWire, the mowing magnate outlined how an extension of the lockdown would compromise the wellbeing of his Victorian contractors.

“Premier, you will have blood on your hands,” Mr Penman wrote.

“Every day I hear stories of misery and despair. Putting people out of work without need is a massive risk to health and wellbeing. I have one franchisee whose son barely survived a suicide attempt. His daughter too is severely depressed.

“Another franchisee had until four weeks ago a superb business with an exceptional customer service rating. Unfortunately, she had not been operating long enough to build a reserve, and your restrictions wiped out her savings. She can get no government support, is begging for leftovers from neighbours and surviving only by loans from myself and others.

“These examples could be multiplied a thousand times.”

Melbourne residents react with shock and fury to lockdown extension

From midnight on Sunday next week, the 8pm curfew will be pushed back an hour to 9pm (it will still cease at 5am) and the allowable outdoor exercise period will be doubled to two hours.

There will also be the introduction of a “single person bubble”, which will allow one nominated visitor if a person is living alone or a single parent with all children under 18.

On social media people have reacted to the news, with some maintaining it’s necessary if unfortunate, while others are furious and want the lockdown lifted immediately (many of them expressing themselves in ways that can’t be reproduced on a news website).

Would rather stamp out this virus than prematurely open. Glad Dan Andrews + team are making these difficult and unpopular decisions - otherwise we'd be going back into lockdowns and all this time locked down would be for nothing. #COVID19Victoria #melbournelockdown— Sam Wright (@samywamy10) September 6, 2020

Top doc’s wild coronavirus sex advice

Social distancing, mask wearing and good hand hygiene have been the top three measures adopted by all countries but the latest bit of advice from Canada’s chief public health officer is a little different.

Doctor Theresa Tam, the country’s chief public health officer, issued a statement earlier this week, urging couples to wear masks during sex to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus.

“Sex can be complicated in the time of COVID-19, especially for those without an intimate partner in their household or whose sexual partner is at higher risk for COVID-19,” Dr Tam said in a statement.

“The lowest risk sexual activity during COVID-19 involves yourself alone.”

Shocking video of man getting attacked

A shocking video of a man being attacked while walking on a street in the US has emerged on social media.

The video, which was uploaded to Instagram on Monday, shows a man with a green T-shirt, shorts and cap, walking along a footpath before being approached by a man from behind.

The second man hits the lone walker over the head with what appears to be a brick.

He then falls to the ground, face first as the attacker runs off.

Groom whose wedding sparked 100 coronavirus cases reveals dad’s final words

Groom Manoli said his father, who tested positive for COVID-19 two days after the wedding, told him to “be strong”.

The couple, Betty and Manoli, held their now infamous wedding at Oyster Cove restaurant and bar on March 21, two days before the New Zealand government announced a nationwide Level Four lockdown. The event led to a large outbreak of coronavirus cases among guests with almost 100 people becoming infected.

“It was an amazing day with all our family around us,” Betty told Newshub in a new documentary Patrick Gower: On Lockdown. “Then it all changed.”

Manoli’s father Chrisanthos Tzanoudakis, originally from Greece, had been living in Wellington for 50 years. He owned a fish and chip shop and worked on the wharves. Chrisanthos had planned to return to Greece after the wedding. But within days of the wedding, a guest tested positive for COVID-19. Manoli and Betty then also tested positive.

Facebook boss reveals ‘operational mistake’

Kyle Rittenhouse, 17, has been charged with homicide after allegedly opening fire on people protesting the police shooting of Jacob Blake, who was shot seven times in the back in front of his children by officer Rusten Sheskey.

Mr Blake has survived but will likely spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

Two people allegedly shot by Rittenhouse at a protest died and a third was injured.

The protests are part of the ongoing Black Lives Matter movement, which less than year ago Mr Zuckerberg said “just wouldn’t have been possible” without the platform he built to rank women by attractiveness.

‘Mess’ not even Google can understand

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) previously announced it would take Google to court over location data it allegedly continued collecting even after people thought they’d told the company to stop.

Now unsealed court documents relating to a case in the US state of Arizona have shed new light on the location settings.

Some of the documents show allegations by the Arizona government, set out in the suit’s table of contents, that the company knew its location settings were a “mess that mislead and deceives”.

Central to that allegation are emails between Google employees (referring to themselves as “Googlers”) who admit not even they can understand the settings.

The lawsuit details a long list of different settings that it alleges “misleads... ( подробнее )
