Relationships

Every week I’m searching central Minnesota’s Craigslist for the most inappropriate “Missed Connection”, and offering some advice on how to re-write the ad so they’re not so terrible.

Baxter, I just got engaged to my girlfriend after dating for over a year.  I actually don't know how I made it a year.  For some reason, she thrives on drama and even when things are going great she finds something to get angry about...

Baxter, This past weekend I decided to get out of the house for awhile, so I went to a bar I used to frequent. Long story short, I met the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.  Being a shy guy by nature, I was amazed at how easy it was to talk to this woman...

Dear Baxter, I met a new girl and our first day went pretty well, except for one thing.  I'm not sure if she wears any deodorant or what she's wearing just isn't working.  At any rate, on our first date, she was putting off some major body odor...

Baxter, I sure hope you can help me.  I've been engaged for a few months now and all was going great.  Lately, I've been hearing all sorts of things about my fiance's sexual adventures before we met.  Seems you can't swing a dead cat in this town without hitting a guy she has pleasured in one way or another...

My wife thinks I like our dog, Astro, more than I like her.  Of course, this is not true.  At least, I think it's not true.  I think the bigger question is, who loves you more, your dog or your wife?  There is a simple way to find out.  First lock both your dog and wife in the trunk of your car...

Dear Baxter, My wife and I have been married for two years and were renting a house until recently. One day we were watching HGTV's episode on these new tiny houses that are all the rave.  My wife thought it would be a cool idea to buy one...

Baxter, I had the worst Valentines Day ever.  I came home with flowers and candy for my wife, only to find a note that she had run off with my best friend.  I don't know what to do.  My heart is empty and broken.  I thought we had something special...

Baxter, Check this out.  Ever since I've known my wife, she has talked about getting a nose job. She has always been a little insecure about her rather large nose.  Little by little, I set aside money hoping someday to have enough to pay for her surgery...

Dear Baxter, With Spring right around the corner, I mentioned to my wife that maybe it's time to buy a motorcycle and enjoy the nice weather coming, riding around like I see so many others doing.  She did not like the idea one bit.  For the last month we have argued back and forth and finally she just said, "Go ahead, do whatever your want"...

Dear Baxter, My boyfriend is a manic bodybuilder, which is cool because he takes very good care of himself, eats healthy, etc.  I suspect he might be using steroids because he has been getting extremely large in the last few months.  I'm not sure this will be good for our relationship...
