DEAR ABBY: My wife and I have been married for 10 years, and it is a wonderful marriage. We love each other very much, never argue and get along great. We have a 2-year-old child. Recently I found a “sex tape” online of my wife with the guy she dated before me. This video was […]

DEAR ABBY: Your response to “Not Ungrateful in San Diego” (July 13) missed the mark. Her boyfriend of eight months is flying in business class to France, but he’s only paying for a coach ticket for her? I was a divorce lawyer for 31 years (now retired), so I know a few things about relationships. […]

DEAR ABBY: My new doctor has told me I’m considered morbidly obese. We discussed the yo-yoing weight problems I have had since I was a child, and she said I’d be a good candidate for gastric bypass surgery. My husband is super-supportive of the idea and so is the rest of my family. My mother […]

DEAR READERS: Today marks the 10th anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Please take a moment and join me in offering a prayer for those innocent individuals who lost their lives there and in the field in Pennsylvania on that horrific day. If September 11 has taught us anything, […]

DEAR ABBY: My dad and I have been arguing over whether I should play soccer. I don’t want to because I don’t like the coach, the sport or having Dad yell at me for every little mistake I make. He says I’m good at the game and that I love it — but I DON’T. […]

DEAR ABBY: I am a confident, well-established administrative professional who has worked with an executive team most of my career. I organized a very large company party and, because my regular caterer didn’t specialize in the kind of barbecue that was needed, I took a chance on an unknown one. I had never used this […]

DEAR ABBY: May I weigh in on the letter from “Noah’s Real Dad in New York” (June 27), whose adult adopted son wants to reclaim his original last name? I am an adult adoptee who searched for and found my birth family. I also joined a support group that was formed to support the adoption […]

DEAR ABBY: My son’s girlfriend is pregnant. I think there is a chance it may not be his, although she claims it is. “Ben” met “Christy,” and a little over a week later she announced she was pregnant. She’s now 34 weeks into the pregnancy. I have asked him repeatedly if he is sure the […]

DEAR ABBY: My nephew, “Charles,” a minister in his 50s, confided to me that he is unhappy in his marriage and is attracted to someone else. He asked me to keep this confidential, and I have. Charles’ wife and I are together a few hours per week on a regular basis. She is concerned because […]

DEAR ABBY: After years of abuse at the hands of my mother’s boyfriend, I finally sought therapy to deal with the emotional issues. I spent weeks interviewing licensed therapists and finally picked one I felt comfortable with. After several sessions, I finally revealed the true nature of my issues. Her response? “At least you weren’t […]
