Dear Vera, I Imagine My Ex When I’m Having Sex With My Husband

I received this e-mail on Thursday last week, and I have been sleeping on it since then. Our Verastic reader - let's call her Ann - is having a sexual issue that isn't half as uncommon as she may think. Read it with care, and please, tender your opinion(s) without judgment. I'm going to respond to this letter differently by also including Igwe's thoughts. When you are done reading this post, please respond, and then share it via Twitter, Facebook, and e-mail. Let it spread as wide as possible. Read More

Dear Vera, Is This Nigerian Couple Insane?

When it comes to weddings, I have seen many, many things, but this one is completely new for me. Today's mail came in from an anonymous Verastic reader who was a guest at this wedding. The reader sent me the link to the registry where I stared with my mouth wide open. I also saw their wedding website, and honestly, I didn't do much reading there. I just looked at pictures.

Dear Vera, My Fiancee Doesn’t Love Me

Am in a relationship recently turned sour. We had our introduction in 2011. I love this lady so much but Read More

Dear Vera, Where Are The Nigerian Men In Maryland?

This one is a short and simple question. Though the reader is asking specifically about Nigerian men in Maryland, please answer the question generally (if you live outside Maryland) because I think Nigerian men are the same anyway for the most part. As usual, my response is below the question. "Dear Vera, I would like to ask you this - I am single and looking, so where are the Nigerian men in Maryland?" Dear Reader, Your question is neither new nor unusual. I am of the opinion that you Read More

Dear Vera: Should I File For Him?

I tweeted yesterday that I received a Dear-Vera kind of letter, which I think is my first one on this blog - kind of. She's a reader of this blog, so I'm hoping we can help her by telling her what we genuinely think. My thoughts are below the mail. Hi Vera, first of all, I love your blog and I have been following you from your days on NVS. Although I have never called in, I have never missed your show. I know you don’t usually do this dear Vera kind of mails on your blog, but your last show Read More
