DEAR ABBY: I have a person in my life who I considered to be my best friend. Before he moved out of state, we agreed we would contact each other every two weeks to stay in touch and, for a short while, we did. However, I began to realize as time passed that I was the only one making calls, and sending texts or emails.
DEAR ABBY: My husband passed away four months ago, after battling cancer for years. He declined in a month, and we chose hospice at home. (I did not find them particularly caring or helpful.) This was even more depressing because it happened during covid.
DEAR ABBY: I am a divorced single mother who has finally met someone. His name is "Greg," and we've been dating for two months. Greg is also divorced and financially stable. The one thing I really like is that he gets along well with my teenage son.
DEAR ABBY: I married my husband five years ago. He has three younger sisters. During the year we receive about 20 pictures of them, and another 20 during the holidays. We also receive a similar amount from my husband's parents. Isn't this excessive? When they visit us, they are upset that we haven't displayed all or most of these pictures. Honestly, if we did, we would run out of wall space.
DEAR ABBY: I have been married to my wonderful husband, "Alec," for five years. This is a second marriage for both of us. We raised children on our own and waited until they were out of the house to get into a relationship.
