Q
Dear Mystic Sisters, thank you for your advice in this column. I love that you are so direct! Please could you shed some light on my issue? My aunt has moved in with me. I love her to bits. The problem that I have is that she criticises me constantly about my cooking! My husband, children and friends love my cooking. I now second guess myself and don’t enjoy cooking as much as before. What should I do ? Kim Exeter

Dearest Kim, oh dear! This is not the most fun spot to be in. Your aunt appreciates you for your hospitality. Your cooking is fantastic. Don’t feel insecure. Your aunt struggles to make conversation and prefers to criticise as part of her conversation. She is old and unfortunately as with many old people, nagging becomes an adopted way of life. She is lonely. Do not argue with her. She is longing for her deceased partner and feels sad. Get her in the kitchen on certain days and get back into the spirit of being you. Don’t become angry or annoyed. Be honest and say your family love your meals but on certain days she is welcome to cook and share her skills with you.

Dearest Mellissa. My wife flirts on Facebook and recently I saw her posting fairly raunchy pics on an adult site. Is this the end of

Hello Gary. No this is not the end. She is craving attention, from you. She feels emotionally neglected and unattractive. Your previous infidelity has created a mini attention seeking monster. You need to show her you desire her. Send her flirty, dirty emails and texts. She is not seeking a lover. Just the attention. I can see you both happy together.
