| Hax: Don't beat around the relationship bush
Carolyn: My very good male friend was retelling some troubling stories to me about his fiancee's behavior toward his family. My friend says she's become increasingly paranoid and resentful toward them for no logical reason (swearing that they "hate" her and refusing contact), and the episodes he was recounting reflected that.This isn't the first red flag I've seen in the years they've been together. I (timidly) asked my friend whether they were considering premarital counseling, adding that it's not a big deal, and that even my husband and I did it.He reacted, uh, pretty defensively and tried to bring my marriage into it. Was I wrong to suggest they get counseling?AnonymousIrrationality and in-laws have a causal connection both long and glorious, but this sounds like more than just one side getting a head start.

Last week, the political activist group GetUp! launched a new web page that takes the guesswork out of voting by playing Cupid with citizens and candidates. The website, www.howshouldivote.com.au works like a computer dating site. Lonely voters simply enter their vital statistics (in this case postcodes rather than chest circumferences), answer a bunch of questions (views on corporate taxes rather than views on athletic Piscean divorcees) and voila: GetUp's crazy love-bug computer sends you the mobile phone numbers of 10 horny housewives in your area ... sorry, I mean a personalised how-to-vote card for the House of Representatives.
