DEAR ABBY: I’m a 25-year-old woman who is involved in a serious relationship with a wonderful man. We’ve been together for about three months and we’re very much in love. My problem: I think I’m obsessed with him. I am happy only when we spend time together. When we’re not, I feel sad and alone. […]

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 12-year-old girl with a big problem. My class recently learned about reproduction. All of the girls accepted it in a mature manner, but it’s another story with the boys. Now all the boys look at me funny when I walk through the hall. It makes me feel awkward. Should I ignore […]

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 23-year-old woman who has been helping to raise my three adorable godchildren over the last few years. Their mother is also 23. She became pregnant with her oldest when she was 15. She’s a young single mother, unprepared for the full responsibility, so I have stepped in. When they were babies, […]

DEAR ABBY: Do you have any data on the success of remarrying your ex-spouse? After being married to my husband for 25 years, we divorced due to his infidelity. We have been divorced for eight years and have had no contact. A family member’s funeral brought us face-to-face again, and we have been in touch […]

I think “No Ink” was insensitive on several counts. If she truly loves her dear friend, why […]

DEAR ABBY: My son, “Jason,” is a 17-year-old high school senior honor student. My wife and I have managed to establish a fairly open relationship with our children; we encourage honesty and have attempted to establish mutual respect. Recently, Jason asked if he could have seven or eight friends over to drink. My wife, reasoning […]

DEAR ABBY: My wife recently died of lung cancer. While the family would like her ashes buried at the family plot, it was my wife’s wish for her remains to be scattered in a favorite location far away. Family members are trying to discourage me by raising all sorts of issues. Abby, is there any […]

DEAR ABBY: My mother does other things while she’s driving, and it’s a big problem for me. I only just got legal to be in the front seat (I’m 13). I don’t want to be in the car with her. She does things like put on lip liner and lip gloss and texts while she […]

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend “Chucky” and I have been together for a while and things are starting to get serious. I’m 15 and he’s almost 18. I’m falling in love with him, which has never happened with any other guy. I really think he’s “The One.” Chucky proposed, but it isn’t official yet. I still […]
