DEAR ABBY: My mother recently passed away. She and Dad were married 52 happy years. Over the years, Mom received a few Christmas cards from “Linda,” my brother’s girlfriend 30 years ago. Dad found Linda’s address and let her know about Mom’s passing. Now he says he and Linda have become good friends. Dad says […]

DEAR ABBY: The other day I asked my husband a question and told him to be honest. If given a choice between giving up wine or giving up sex with me, which would he choose? You guessed it. He said, “Giving up sex with you.” I think I knew the answer before I asked the […]

DEAR ABBY: I agree with the response you gave to “Low Priority in Pennsylvania” (Dec. 11) that she reconsider her relationship with her fiancé, but not for the reason you may think. Unless they are kids just out of college, three years is a long time to be engaged. Add to this the fact that […]

DEAR ABBY: I am 17 and baby-sit regularly for a family on my street. The kids are well-behaved and enjoy it when I go there to watch them. My problem is their mother never gives me notice when she needs me. She’ll ask if I can baby-sit that day, or even worse, that moment. Sometimes […]
