DEAR ABBY: My 20-year-old daughter recently caught me “actively engaged” in watching porn. I tried to do it late at night when I thought everyone was asleep. My daughter now thinks I’m a pervert. Her mother raised her with conservative beliefs about any expression of sexuality. I’m worried about her ability to make a future […]

Community harmony clouded by new neighbor’s smoking
DEAR ABBY: I live in a townhouse in a small development — just four townhomes with a very relaxed HOA. Since it’s just the four of us, we discuss things like needed repairs and come to an agreement. Our problem is our newest neighbor. She smokes outside at all hours. It prevents the rest of […]

Dear Abby: Don’t tolerate his abuse any longer
DEAR ABBY: I am writing this with overwhelming sadness. My 75-year-old husband is a tyrant. Our neighbors hate him, and so do our children. He is an overbearing, impetuous child. I cry every day. I can’t talk to him without him yelling. I am a subservient person. How do I go on with this? He […]

Single mother by choice wants positive support from friends
DEAR ABBY: I’m a single woman who has always wanted children. As much as I would’ve liked, marriage isn’t in the cards for me yet and maybe not ever, which I’ve accepted. I have decided to not allow my single status to prevent me from becoming a mother. I have spent years hearing my friends […]

Man is embarrassed when wife asks people their age
DEAR ABBY: My wife constantly craves compliments about her age. When we meet people, she regularly asks how old they are, which I think is rude and inappropriate. Then she asks me if I know how old they are, and I say “no” because I don’t think it’s any of my business. She then asks […]
