Ask Amy: I’d rather go without sex the rest of my life
DEAR AMY: I’ve been married for 28 years and have experienced neglect, drunkenness, narcissism, neediness and insecurity from my husband.

The Kremlin, which in previous years had bowed to Israeli pressure to not supply the systems to Damascus, has threatened to change its stance after U.S. and U.K.-led attacks on Syria earlier this month, in reaction to an alleged chemical weapons attack in Douma. Military officials told the newspaper Kommersant that Russia would give air defense systems to Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad free of charge, adding that Israel would suffer “catastrophic consequences” if it targeted them.
