DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: Christmas is approaching again and this time I’m demanding my diamond engagement ring. I moved to Canada to be with my man, and when we moved in together, he promised me a ring for Christmas — and then it didn’t happen. I got a cheap coat instead.

Now, he has promised me an expensive trip home to visit my family overseas during the holidays instead of an engagement ring to get me off his back.

Sometimes I think I just want to go home to my family and stay there. I’m feeling so hurt and frustrated. Last night I asked him how he would feel if we both bought each other engagement rings — and he laughed in my face saying, “What’s the rush?”

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: My wife is really fed up. She says this fall she needs me to finally break down and buy a special light for my seasonal affective disorder. Winter is coming, and I’m already feeling the bad vibes and getting depressed from the lack of sunshine and warmth.

Already, I’m starting to get cranky and sad, and I keep turning on all the house lights. But I think a SAD light would be the coward’s way out — just giving in to it. I’d feel like an idiot sitting with my SAD light every day. Why can’t we just turn on all our lights like normal people?

Dear SAD Guy: Facing up to our limitations and compensating for them is the smartest thing we humans can do. Plus, it’s really beneficial for the health of our love relationships when we openly agree to work through our issues.
