Dear AbeMy 45 -year -old friend, I am 65 years old. She has been married since 1985; I divorced for many years. I was recently shocked by claiming that a joint friend told her that I was dealing with one of his married acquaintances! This is a mistake, but I am now wondering if she said that because she suspects herself.
When I got angry and said I would face the other friend, I asked not to do it because he “will make her look bad for the news.” Can my doubts be correct? If the other person is the person who already suspected me, then why don't you want me to ask her? – A confusing lady in the West
Dear lady is a confusing: I don't know your best friend for 45 years, I am not in a situation that allows me to answer this question. However, the best way to get down this is to go directly to your BFF person told her and ask where you got this idea.
Dear AbeOn holidays and special events, we usually have eight people on a six -place dining room table. Two of our guests are the “orphans” who were called by half a better. The problem is, the man, “George”, is a chain smoker, and I always get a partition headache in its existence.
I can breathe for 10 seconds or so when I embrace George and I am welcome, but what do you suggest to say or do at the dinner table? I will be at the utmost possible, but I am still a few feet away from the problem. Cancel their supply is not an option. – Smoking in California
Dear smoke: I was lucky. You live in California, where windows can be opened and crossed ventilation. Since it is not possible to uninstall these guests, give your dining room as much fresh air and insist that if your guests “you should” smoke, they do this outside and away from open windows.
Dear AbeMy daughter is married in a few weeks and insists that I sit with her father at the ceremony. Abe, we have divorced for 20 years. She got married 12 years ago. Her father did not marry.
My husband did not try to replace her father, and I think he was rude that he is expected to sit with the guests instead of his wife. I had to do this at my other daughter's wedding a few months ago, and it was very uncomfortable. I want to look to my daughter's day. What do you think of this? – Musical chairs in Pennsylvania
Dear music chairs: You should not agree to the arrangement of sitting at your other daughter's wedding, and you should not do this in this. Your husband belongs to your side. If you and your ex -husband are friendly, you can sit your ex -husband on the other side of your husband. If not, he can sit at the end of the row on the corridor. But your husband should not have to sit “with other guests” because he is more than a guest; He is a family member.
