Dear Abby advises a woman suspicious that her friend’s husband is a murderer, a wife upset over her husband’s rudeness, and a woman who doesn’t approve of her daughter’s new…
My best friend, “Laura,” had an affair with a married man for 20 years. He had been married twice before, and both wives died. He’s only 50, so I find it odd that both of his previous wives died. His second wife passed while Laura was his mistress. She is able to be married to him only because of his second wife’s death — he was never going to leave her.
I don’t trust this man, but I feel I must because Laura is married to him and so happy. I’m suspicious that he may have had something to do with his wives’ deaths, but I don’t know how to prove it. Am I overly suspicious for thinking this? I’m happy for my friend because she is very happy now. They are both retired and enjoying their lives. I’m just hoping he’s honest and truly loves her.
I asked him, if it’s not an emergency, to tell the person he is busy at the moment and will call back. I think his behavior is incredibly rude. It makes me feel I’m not important. Am I overreacting, like my husband says? He can’t seem to understand how I feel. —You are not overreacting, and there’s nothing wrong with your communication skills. Your husband does understand how you feel; he simply doesn’t.
If he won’t consider putting his phone on silent mode while lunching or shopping with you, you may have to resort to bringing something with you to read. Find a book on telephone manners or one that allows you to escape — I’m thinking about a paperback with Fabio or some other Adonis on the cover — the wait may be less boring.My daughter and her son’s father split up recently. They were together for 10 years.
