DEAR ABBY: I had to write regarding “Doc in Distress” (March 26), who allowed a critically wounded comrade to push him away so he could save others. I spent eight years as a combat medic in the Army. As hard as it is to hear, that person acted precisely as he was trained. Training in […]

DEAR ABBY: As a nation, we Americans are at our best when we come together bonded by a noble purpose. It is my privilege to invite our citizens to unite for the National Moment of Remembrance at 3 p.m. (local time) tomorrow on Memorial Day, Monday, May 31. Our hope is that your readers will […]

DEAR ABBY: I’m an “A” student, but my boyfriend, “Rory,” has a difficult time in school, so he often comes over for help. We work at the computer in the room my sister and I share so she listens to everything we discuss. She says we are cheating because I’m doing most of his homework […]

DEAR ABBY: I work with a woman who constantly tells me how much she has — a condo in Florida, a timeshare in the Virgin Islands, her portfolio, the expensive ring her husband bought her and what she spends on wedding/holiday gifts. She even told me about how much she used to make at her […]

DEAR ABBY: A few months ago I became suspicious that my wife of 40 years was having an affair with an old high school friend. At first I thought I was misreading the signs. Then I found an unfinished e-mail on our computer making a date to meet him “at our special place,” and I […]

DEAR ABBY: I am in shock. My brother, “Paul,” invited me to lunch yesterday and introduced me to an 18-year-old girl, “Amy,” whom he says is his daughter from a woman other than his wife. Naturally, she was full of questions about me and the rest of the family. I don’t know why Paul chose […]

DEAR ABBY: Regarding your column of April 12, 2010, and the letter about the man who refuses to file tax returns, your answer was only partially correct. In addition to enrolled agents, tax returns are also prepared by other licensed professionals. Certified public accountants are regulated by the various states and do a great deal […]

DEAR ABBY: My brother passed away a year ago, leaving a wife and five children. They are wonderful, well-behaved kids. Unfortunately, my brother appears to have been the one who kept everybody on schedule and made all the decisions. My sister-in-law just did whatever he said, deciding nothing on her own. Now that he’s gone, […]

DEAR ABBY: “Ethan” and I have been married 36 years. He’s a good and caring husband, but he has a habit that irritates me no end. He opens our mail — whether it’s addressed to him or not. I have nothing to hide and I always show or mention what I receive. I don’t open […]

DEAR ABBY: I have been in a relationship with my college boyfriend for 2½ years. We have had our share of struggles, but worked through most of them over time.  Lately, our polar opposite political views have driven a wedge between us. I feel we are losing respect for each other as well as our […]
