Dear Abby: I am marrying an amazing man next year. We have been together for six years. I’ve always gotten along with his family and know they will be great in-laws. However, I’ve noticed that they cater to my fiance’s older sister. She’s 30, but acts like she’s 13.
Dear Abby: I have a colleague who has become an amazing friend over the years. We plan dinner dates or work conferences periodically, and we also try to book spa appointments together when we have vacation time.
Dear Abby: I’m a single man who has a female friend who is also single. We live about a half-hour apart, so for the last 25 years, much of our relationship happened on the phone. We talked almost daily.
Dear Abby: I was married for more than 40 years. My ex now badmouths me to everyone. He got to our grown daughter during our separation, and it’s clear she’s on his side. He’s a very intelligent narcissist who manipulates people and they’re not aware of it. Our divorce took three different lawyers and cost me thousands, which was his intention. Should I open up to my daughter and try to get her to understand why I can’t be around him? I don’t want to alienate my only child. — Free But Not Totally Happy
Dear Abby: My husband inherited a nasty habit from his mother. He calls people “crazy” to discredit them so he can win arguments and stifle discussion. I have told him it’s lazy to pass judgment on someone that way. It also shows the world how ignorant he is, because he thinks he’ll win every argument by playing the crazy card — a personal attack.
