Dear Diana,
We were holidaying in Thailand recently and my husband went to see a strip show. When he came back, I told him that I was upset that he felt the need to go watch girls take their clothes off! He got irritated with me and we fought.u00a0He told me I am insecure! I'm 28 years old. He tells me grow up. Did I do the right thing by ticking him off?

Dear AW,
There is no need for alarm bells to ring. He was at a place where such shows are common, so he just checked it out! There was nothing more to it. It was plain, simple curiosity. You must understand that all such stuff are guy things. From a woman's point of view, it is difficult to understand and I fully understand your fears and reason to be disgusted. But it was just a one-off thing and it is not that it is going to be a threat to your relationship. Set alarm bells ringing only if he continous do visit such places. From your letter it is clear that he was in a holiday mood checking out the scene. So relax, my girl.

My girl's behaving weird
Dear Diana,
My girl has started behaving very oddly with me. She gets irritated for the slighest thing, throws a tantrum and has now stopped talking to me. I have had enough of her nonsense. What shouldu00a0 I do?u00a0

Dear AC,
You dealt with her temper tantrums for too long, so it is time now to let go. Why did you push yourself in such a situation, you readily catered to her whims, the reason why she started behaving oddily with you. She just does not care for you and your feelings, it is better to let her go.
I don't have a guy!
Dear Diana,
I am a 22-year-old working for a call centre. As I work late night shifts, I have no time to socialise. I do not have a boyfriend like my friends do. Is my work the reason why I can't find a guy?

Dear VM,
No, not all. You are not the only woman to work late shifts. There are several others, too, who work in a similar pattern. Remember love happens, you cannot go out one evening to find love. Be patient, my girl, till your Mr Right comes along.
