DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have a 22-year-old son who has moved back home due to his relocating. His girlfriend of six months has done some suspicious and devious things. We have tried to overlook them, but the latest involves a car our son asked us to sell her because she was in a […]

DEAR ABBY: I’m writing about your answer to ”An International Educator” (Dec. 27), who asked about translators at parent-teacher conferences. Your answer was only partially correct. I am a professional interpreter and translator. First I should note that translators do written work; interpreters speak aloud. Different skills are involved, which is why there are different […]

DEAR ABBY: I am in a happy relationship with a wonderful man. Our life is great together and I wouldn’t want it any other way. I have one issue, however. I like to look at lesbian porn maybe a few times a week. I don’t actually want to be with another woman — it’s just […]

DEAR ABBY: Mom is 61. She lost her husband (my dad) six months ago. They had been married for 37 years. He used to do almost everything for her. Now her world has changed because she must do things for herself — like doing the dishes or paying the bills. When we talk, she constantly […]

DEAR ABBY: Was I spreading gossip by telling my former husband that our granddaughter’s wedding was off? We had just returned from their engagement party. It is my understanding that one wants to cancel, while the other wants to go through with it. The wedding is a year away and this has been the talk […]

DEAR ABBY: My parents and I live on opposite coasts of the United States. I have visited them many times over the years. I’d like them to visit me, but my mother refuses to travel. (She is healthy and not scared of flying or traveling.) At first, she said she didn’t have the money, so […]

DEAR ABBY: I have been seeing ”Russell” for about a year. Last March he told me he had to move in with his grandmother because ”he was the only bachelor in the family who could take care of her.” Stupidly, I believed him. Not long after that, I found out he had a pregnant girlfriend. […]

DEAR ABBY: I’m in love with my boyfriend, and we’re about to move to a huge college town. We’ve been dating two years and I want him to be my husband, but at the same time I want to live life. I’m not even 21 yet, and I haven’t experienced life. I want to go […]
