DEAR ABBY: I am writing in response to your answer to “Bi in the Deep South” (Jan. 2), the woman who is happily married to a man, but who now realizes she is bisexual and wants to come out. My wife is an out bisexual woman. You were correct that it is possible to be […]

DEAR ABBY: I have been in a relationship with the man of my dreams for five years. Everything is great between us except for one huge thing — we are no longer intimate. I have recently come to the realization that this isn’t the first time I have had this problem. I always thought it […]

DEAR ABBY: I’m married to the love of my life. Our 25th anniversary will be here soon. My issue is, my husband has a beard I cannot stand. It’s long and unkempt, and makes him look 10 years older than he is. It has become a real issue between us. He keeps telling me about […]

DEAR ABBY: I’m a member of a close-knit theater company for teens, and I auditioned for the musical “Fame.” The director wants to give me a role as one of the teachers. Show after show, I get matronly roles with no memorable lines or funny scenes. I don’t know if I should accept the part. […]

DEAR ABBY: I met the woman of my dreams about a year ago. Her husband had died about two months before our paths crossed. She has two teenage daughters I’m very fond of. I have a history of alcoholism and she’s a hoarder. A week ago, I had an “epiphany”: I am desperately trying to […]

DEAR ABBY: Before we met, my girlfriend got large breast implants. I think they’re a terrible turn-off, but I don’t know how to tell her. Should I try to overlook this because I love her, or can I tell her the truth about why our love life is sometimes not so hot? I have known […]

DEAR ABBY: My hair falls nearly to my waist, and I go to great lengths to maintain it and keep it free of split ends. Many of my friends, both male and female, have grown out their hair over the years and donated it to cancer charities. While I think it’s a beautiful act of […]

DEAR READERS: It’s April Fools’ Day, the day on which I share some offbeat letters and examples of readers’ efforts to pull my leg. It’s all in fun — so enjoy! DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been married almost 10 years. He has always been a good husband, but recently he has been […]

DEAR ABBY: I have a relative who is very ill. She’s not expected to survive. She has a 1-year-old daughter, “Whitney,” and a husband who isn’t particularly interested in parenting once his wife is gone. My husband and I have a 3-year-old, and my husband would like to have more children. I love this relative […]
