Miss Lonelyhearts

It’s time you shook up weekly sex schedule

Maureen Scurfield 5 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: My husband is a big talker when it comes to sex, but he only wants it once a week and then he’s so ready to perform you would think he invented it.

Then it’s no action until the next Saturday night, which is the only night he feels rested enough to make love, or even let me be the one to “perform.”

We do it on Saturday because our teenagers go out and we have the house to ourselves most of the time. But everything is just so calculated. He brings home snacks and fancy beers — and the party’s on, in his mind.

I don’t want to leave him. I just want him to do something different sometimes.

About 100 kilometres north of Winnipeg, on the eastern shores of Lake Winnipeg, a village is being built where Indigenous girls, women and two-spirit people will be able to heal from the trauma of sexual exploitation within a supportive community guided by Indigenous matriarchs.

“Our philosophy is that you have to have long-term healing to deal with all the intergenerational trauma that got you to that point,” said Jamie Goulet, executive director of the Clan Mothers Healing Village and Knowledge Centre. “Our programming is quite different than any other model.”

That model is based on traditional knowledge and designed by Indigenous women who’ve been working with exploited Indigenous women, girls and two-spirit people for decades.

The workers constructing the village, which is expected to be finished in the fall, are women enrolled in the program and employed by a construction company the Healing Village, which operates as a social enterprise.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Communications with friends and members of groups are lively. You have lots of mental energy when it comes to talking to others. This means you’ll be persuasive. However, later in the day, stay flexible because plans might change and someone new might be on the scene.

Don’t let antics undercut bond

Maureen Scurfield 5 minute read Tuesday, Jun. 30, 2026

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: My wife and I are in our early 30s and have been married for eight years. I’m getting tired of her antics and I’m thinking about calling it off now.

She isn’t a bad person, but she’s a mooch. She makes a good salary, but always wants to borrow money from me and gets angry if I grumble.

She also drives me crazy when she talks in a baby voice. When we’re out with friends, she likes to do anime poses and voices. At first, I thought it was cute, but no longer. She’s doing it way too much.

She used to be involved in theatre, but didn’t make it anywhere past high school productions, and it’s obvious why.
