ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Debbie and it's about bread. Here's her email:  Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. I had this argument with my daughter the other day and I'm wondering how others feel. My daughter was at my house and I was getting ready to make us some sandwiches. I pulled out the bread and there was a little bit of mold on one slice of the bread on one end. I threw it away and then pulled from the back and got four slices of bread.

I say the rest of the bread is fine. We ended up going out to lunch, but I still want to kn...

Dear Amy: I am in a five-year marriage that I feel is more like a roommate situation. We hardly ever do things together.Our sexual relationship is almost nonexistent (I’m just not interested in being intimate with him anymore).He has cheated a few times.I only cheated one time, and that was to get back at him.I know two wrongs don’t make a right, but since the infidelity, I often find myself not trusting him.I’m torn up deciding what to do about this relationship.We have trust issues, and now I feel as if we’re growing apart. I care about him, but I’m not in love with him like I used to be.I’m tired of arguing with him every day and want some peace and happiness in my life.I know therapy is what most people would suggest, but I already know what therapists are going to say so that’s why I don’t go.Because of all the issues and the gaslighting that goes on I feel like it’s time to call things off (he sort of agrees with me), but I...
