Can a romantic relationship survive without sex

    A sex deathbed. A dry spell. A sexless marriage. A dating drought. Whatever you want to call a dip in sexual frequency, most of us have had the anxiety-inducing thought that perhaps we're not having enough sex, and that's a very bad thing. Divulge this information to some well-meaning, honest friends and they might warn you that a dry spell is a sign that there's something wrong with your relationship, and you better figure it out before it's too late! But does this extremely common relationship phase really mean that you're doomed? In other words, can a relationship survive without sex? The answer depends on a few factors, namely: how long you've been in this relationship and whether or not you're both cool with the lack of sex, says Lisa Brateman, LCSW, a relation...

Corbyn could face mass exodus

    Jeremy Corbyn could face up to a dozen resignations from the Labour frontbench if the party backs a second referendum as a way out of the Brexit crisis. A string of junior shadow ministers have told the Guardian they are strongly opposed to the idea of a second referendum, which they fear would expose Labour to a vicious backlash in leave-voting constituencies. Corbyn refused to enter talks with Theresa May on Thursday until she rules out the idea of a no-deal departure and demanded that his party’s MPs refuse similar invitations.

Home Office denies treatment to man dying of heart failure

    A 38-year-old man is dying from heart failure after being denied treatment under UK immigration rules, prompting renewed criticism of the Home Office’s hostile environment policies. Nasar Ullah Khan has been living in the UK for nine years and is suffering from a serious heart condition which deteriorated into a terminal illness, but he was told he was not eligible for a potentially life-saving transplant because he does not have leave to remain in the country. The Pakistani citizen has now launched a fundraising appeal to help his wife and two young sons visit him before he dies, but their visa is still being processed and the family believes it is unlikely it will be granted in time. He is one of hundreds of patients who have been denied treatment for serious hea...
