Dear Abby advises a high school boy who has a crush on a girl older than him, a father who feels he’s taking too much money for his daughter’s wedding, and more.
I’ve been married 25 years. My husband just took up golf and working out at the club. He takes his wedding ring off for both activities, and then he sometimes forgets to put it back on. When we are heading out for dinner or an event, I ask, “Where’s your ring?” He then runs back into the house to put it on. What do you make of this? —Depending upon your husband’s workout, it’s possible that the wedding ring could get in the way or be scratched.
Because of our lack of contact, I thought my feelings were subsiding, so I started a relationship with another girl, “Amber.” However, shortly after beginning this new relationship, I had a long conversation with Joelle and quickly realized I’m in love with her. While I still have feelings for Amber, it crushes me not to be with Joelle. To make matters worse, if I end things with Amber, there’s no guarantee Joelle would give me a chance — she’s bisexual and she’s close friends with Amber. I don’t want to throw away my relationship with Amber over what may amount to a pipe dream, but I really am in love with Joelle. Please help. —Amber deserves better than to be involved with a guy who is in love with someone else.
My daughter now says his mother is asking for Sunday night, too. I replied that she could reserve it and pay for it herself or request a late checkout on Sunday. I don’t have room for her to stay in my home, and I think I am generous to be paying for her hotel stay in the first place, let alone three nights. Is the bride’s family obligated to pay for this? —Are you obligated? Certainly not. It is presumptuous for the groom’s mother to expect that you would.
