Stargazing with mate the perfect V-day date

Maureen Scurfield 5 minute read 2:00 AM CST

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: What can I do with my fantastic woman on Valentine’s Day? We’re new to each other and very attracted — but it’s not quite time for sex yet. This woman is very special and I really need to get this right. What do you suggest?

— Crazy About New Mate, St. James

Dear Crazy: Here are couple suggestions that could go down well for you on this most-romantic of nights.

First off, the star-studded heavens. Binoculars and sky-gazing could get you away from the bright city lights. You’ll just need a map of the sky and its attractions, which you can track down online.

Don’t let tit-for-tat spat take marriage to the mat

Maureen Scurfield 5 minute read Yesterday at 2:00 AM CST

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: My second wife is complaining about my recent slip-up with an old girlfriend who was passing through Winnipeg. I only went for drinks with her and I was home by midnight, so what’s the worry?

My new wife is tough, and she has now claimed one night off from our marriage to go out with one of her exes for drinks. She promises sarcastically that she’ll be home by midnight.

I foolishly said, “A lot can happen before midnight.” And she said, “Exactly.”

Now what? I can’t go spy on her and I don’t have a date myself, so I look pathetic as it stands.

MOON ALERT: There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The moon is in Capricorn.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Neptune moves into your sign, which means in the next decade, you might project a different image to others. Old labels might no longer fit. In fact, others might wonder who you really are. This will be a change in how you relate to your world.

Put in the effort to get your marriage back in gear

Maureen Scurfield 5 minute read Thursday, Feb. 12, 2026

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: My wife informed me over dinner tonight she doesn’t want “the last box of chocolates at the drugstore” for her Valentine’s Day gift this year. That’s where we’re at. Pathetic, I’d say.

I used to write her love poems for the special day, but that’s when she was being loving and we were happy. In response to my poems about her, she would always write up a list of my good qualities in a giant card and we’d light candles and make love all night.

But now things have changed. Nothing I do pleases her anymore. I can feel we’re nearing a dangerous crossroads. I’m not sure if I want to keep driving down this road or hit reverse.

I’m in early retirement and tired of being nothing more than her errand boy. What do you suggest? I do know other women, and one of them really thinks I’m great.

Buddies looking for vicarious thrills need to chill

Maureen Scurfield 4 minute read Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2026

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: Here comes Valentine’s Day and I’ve been trying to date around since my marriage ended just over a year ago. But I haven’t asked any babes to join me for any Feb. 14 celebrations, not even for drinks.

As a married guy, I hated the Valentine’s Day nonsense when I was expected to ask my wife out and we didn’t even want to touch each other anymore. Now I would love a wild night with a new girlfriend, but no women have asked me out either.

I’m going to feel like a loser if I stay home, hiding out watching sports on TV all weekend.

My married buddies are jealous, thinking I have somebody hot lined up that I won’t tell them about, and they’ll definitely prod and tease me next time we meet.

To up your game, find partner who likes to play

Maureen Scurfield 5 minute read Tuesday, Feb. 10, 2026

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: On the weekend my girlfriend and I had just finished having sex, when she said bitterly, “I had no climax, again.” She said she wasn’t going to fake it anymore.

Then she went quieter than she usually does after sex, and it got so tense I spitefully asked her what sex was like with her ex-boyfriend. She said quietly, “It was great, even when it wasn’t Earth-shaking.”

Then she got dressed, grabbed her keys and left in the middle of the night, at -25 C. Since then, she’s just replied to my texts with two- or three-word answers, saying things like, “Just relax” or “Get over it.”

She hasn’t actually broken up with me. I can’t work anything out with her if she’s not talking to me. I’m still half in love with her. What can I do?

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: This is an SOS. I just had my heart broken and it feels like my stomach is broken too. I gobble Tums to survive these days. I am a wreck.

What can you recommend for me in order to make it through university exams this spring, with the marks I so desperately need to get into my profession?

— Feeling Broken, Winnipeg

Dear Feeling Broken: Because you need to be able to concentrate while in class, studying and writing papers, you need a fast-acting plan other than good old Tums.

Wallet snoop doesn’t deserve an explanation

Maureen Scurfield 3 minute read Monday, Feb. 9, 2026

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I went out with a very sexy woman on a few great dates — lots of laughs, same senses of humour. But the last time, after I stayed at her place on a weeknight, I zipped home in the morning to get ready for work.

When I got home and put my valuables on my side table, I noticed the cards in my wallet were arranged differently than I normally keep them.

She didn’t take any cash, just seems to have had a look at my bank and credit cards. I knew because she didn’t put them back in alphabetical order and they were not evenly spaced like I arrange them. I have been snooped on before.

Now what? Do I tell her I know what she did and get the satisfaction of outsmarting her, or just leave her mysteriously alone after this?

Be honest with self about broken engagement

Maureen Scurfield 4 minute read Saturday, Feb. 7, 2026

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I’ve been engaged since Christmas, but now my fiancé does not want to go through with the wedding.

His old girlfriend was so shocked by our engagement, she has come back and wants another chance with him. He said he hoped I would understand because he had loved her since Grade 10. Now he says he realizes she truly is his forever love. I’ve been nauseated since then.

And get this: he says I can keep the diamond from the engagement ring and have it put into something else because he knew I loved it so much.

What an idiot. It wasn’t just a sparkly rock to me — it was a symbol of our forever love. When he tried to hand it back to me, I threw it in his face.
