(Bulldog's Note: Because of a preliminary hearing prior engagement this week, I've allowed World Wrestling Entertainment Hall of Famer The Iron Shiek to use this space for his syndicated advice column Dear Sheiky. Enjoy!)

Q: Dear Sheiky, 

I'm hoping you can help me settle this dispute once and for all.

I recently received a tax refund and deposited the check into my personal savings account. The check is in my name only because I get that money for my son from a previous marriage.

When my husband discovered that I hadn't deposited the check into the joint account, he became furious. He's now threatening to divorce me if I don't give in to his demand. My husband has his own personal and business accounts. Should I give in and put the funds into our joint account or stand firm and let him play out his threats?

Q: Dear Sheiky,

I don't come from a particularly close family or anything, but I was aghast that my only sister wouldn't show up for our father's funeral!

There was some bad blood between my sister and our parents that goes back several years, although I don't pretend to know all of the details.

I can appreciate that they had a falling out, but what kind of impression does this send to the rest of the family when she isn't even there when our dad dies?

What approach would you suggest I take to tell her (respectfully) that I think her actions were wrong, and that if she doesn't make amends soon, it could mean permanent damage to our family? 

- Deeply Troubled

Q: Dear Sheiky,

I have two children from a previous marriage, and I am just having a dickens of time transitioning them into a blended family.

My new spouse, who has a young daughter of her own, has been wonderful at being there for my kids while not overstepping her bounds. My children just want their mother back, and I certainly sympathize with the emotions they must be going through.

Still, I don't think it's too much to ask that the five of us create a loving, stable home of our own. I try to include them in all the family decisions and events, but they are still largely indifferent to the situation. I've even tried talking to them, in the hopes that we can at least open up the lines of the communication, but so far, nothing.

What can you suggest I do? I'm really at my wits end here.

Q: Dear Sheiky,

I'm wondering if you can help me.

I am the toughest man I know, and yet people still don't respect me. I feel as though these no-good bastards are nothing but f*cking jabronis whom I will humble if they don't start to respect me.

What ever shall I do?

-Sheik's Humbling Is Terrific

A: Dear SHIT,

I understand -- and even sympathize -- with what you're trying to accomplish. But is that really the best way to get your message across?

I would suggest talking to this individual and seeing if you can't find out what the underlying issues are at play here.

I'm reminded of a similar conversation I had once with a colleague by the name of American Hogan. Once we figured out the root of the problem, a solution was easily attainable.

Try it. I daresay you may be pleasantly surprised with the outcome.

Q: Dear Sheiky,

What do you think is the best strategy for removing stubborn stains from carpets? I've tried everything from professional steam-clean machines to expensive store-bought concoctions. I've even tried to use a disinfectant known as "Pleasant Lemon" to mask the unpleasant odor.

Any suggestions?
