Wife has doubts about husband

Dear Annie: I have been married for six months and am crazy for my hubby. He has back problems and some sexual issues that keep us from being intimate. At least, those are the excuses he uses for the fact that we don’t touch like we used to.
I recently came across some love notes to an ex-girlfriend, saying how they are going to be happy growing old together and how much he loves her. I pay his child support and love his kids like my own. He says he loves me, but I have doubts that he is being honest. He is constantly texting and emailing and never puts his phone down. He acts as if he is afraid I will look at it.
I’ve been hurt before by lies and don’t want to go through it again. What do I do?

Dear Scared: Were these recent love notes or old ones that you happened to find?
If they are old, try to ignore them. He married you, not his ex-girlfriend.
If they are recent, however, it could be serious, especially when combined with constant and secretive texting, calling and emailing. Married partners owe it to each other to be open and honest.
Talk to your husband. If his answers don’t reassure you, the next step is counseling.
