Anchorage Reader Seeks Advice About Six-Year Relationship
A reader in Anchorage, identified as 'Crossroads,' sought advice from Dear Annie on whether to end a six-year relationship where she feels unloved due to a lack of physical intimacy and her boyfriend's significant alcohol consumption.
Anchorage, AK, October 18, 2026 —
A reader in Anchorage, identified as “Crossroads,” sought advice from Dear Annie about whether to end a six-year relationship. She said she feels unloved, citing a lack of physical intimacy and her boyfriend’s significant alcohol consumption.
The account describes two concerns at the center of her question: the level of intimacy in the relationship and her boyfriend’s drinking. The available information does not explain how long either concern has been present, how the couple has discussed them, or how the boyfriend views the relationship.
It also does not provide details about the amount or frequency of his alcohol consumption, or describe any specific effects beyond Crossroads’ concern. No information was given about the couple’s ages, living arrangements, or other circumstances that might bear on her decision.
The summary identifies the question Crossroads brought to Dear Annie but does not include the advice she received or say what she ultimately decided. It is therefore unclear whether she ended the relationship, remained in it, or took any other steps. Her central question, as presented, is whether the relationship should continue despite her feeling unloved and her concerns about her boyfriend’s drinking.
