DEAR ABBY: I’m 19 and I got married six months ago to the love of my life! We have a great relationship despite how young we are. There’s one problem though: my husband’s job. His shift is 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., six days a week, and when he is not working, he’s sleeping, so […]

DEAR ABBY: I have been with “Tom” for two years, and I suspect that he will be proposing soon. He is 27 and I’m 24. Here’s the problem: He wants our parents to meet before he asks. Abby, I have put this off because I’m sure they will have nothing in common. My parents are […]

DEAR READERS: On May 5, I printed a letter from a parent, “Against the Tide in New Jersey.” He said his “independent, intelligent, loving” daughters (both in their late 20s) have dated their boyfriends for five years and had recently moved in with them. The man also said he and his wife approve of the […]

DEAR ABBY: I have been with my boyfriend for a little over two years. He recently mentioned that when he was younger (19), he had a threesome (two guys, one girl). We are both over 35, so I realize this happened many years ago, but the fact that it was two guys is hard for […]

DEAR ABBY: I recently received a Facebook message from a 47-year-old mother of four who believes she is my daughter. While I do not remember her mother and have communicated this to the woman, the pictures she sent of her children somewhat resemble my family. I’m happily married with two sons, and my wife is […]

DEAR ABBY: My son is being deployed for 10 months. His wife and baby are coming to live with me, and I am thrilled. My concern is that his wife is a picky eater and she doesn’t do much around the house. Would it be too much to ask her to help with the chores […]

DEAR ABBY: I am 18 and live with my parents. I have a part-time job and I also attend a local university. My parents and I have always gotten along, and I have been obedient and respectful of their rules. I have suffered from depression for years, but now I have finally met someone who […]

DEAR ABBY: I am 59 and have a steady, good-paying job. I was married for 20 years, but divorced 11 years ago. I am set in my ways. I have been seeing a woman, “Melinda,” for eight years now. She’s 51 and also has a steady job. We live 30 miles apart. Our relationship has […]

DEAR ABBY: I’m almost 20. I have a well-paying job and live with my mother in a small town. My issue is I don’t know how to break away from her. My older siblings still live here, too. They don’t help pay rent, utilities, groceries or anything. Mom and I pay for everything in a […]
