Talk to your husband, tell him how you feel, and remind him that you both have the rest of your lives to look forward to

I met a guy online a few weeks ago on an app, and we began chatting. We really hit it off because we had a lot in common and I thought he was funny, interesting, and sweet. We haven’t met yet because neither of us has been able to find a date that works, but he messaged me yesterday asking if he could borrow some money and promising to pay it back over the weekend. I politely refused, obviously, but he then replied saying he was just testing me to see if I was the kind of person who trusted other people. He said he didn’t want to meet me or go out with me and blocked me soon after. I don’t know if his reaction was reasonable. I couldn’t just give money to someone I didn’t know, so why does that make me a bad person?
It doesn’t. If someone wants to test you before they have met you, they aren’t the kind of people you should be with. If someone wants to test you after they get to know you, they aren’t the kind you should be with either. This isn’t something you should worry about, given that you don’t know this person, and did what any rational person in your position would do.

My husband doesn’t seem as interested in sex as before. We have been married for 11 years, and I know it happens to everyone, but it’s sad because it also seems as if we are drifting apart emotionally. What should I do?
There are professionals who can help you both with not just improving your sex lives but connecting in new ways as a couple. It depends upon how badly you both want to change though, because relationships need work and not everyone finds it easy to put in that work after a few years have passed. Talk to your husband, tell him how you feel, and remind him that you both have the rest of your lives to look forward to.
