Dear Abby: Do I tell my husband my ex is in our motorcycle club?
DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are retired and have recently joined a Harley Davidson motorcycle club.We both love to ride and are looking forward to many events in the coming months.
At the first meeting we attended, an ex-lover of mine was seated at the same table near my husband.They seemed to enjoy conversing back and forth.
I kept a low profile and tried to ignore the situation. I know that at the meetings and upcoming events, we are sure to see each other.Should I tell my husband who this person is? I am concerned it will spoil those events for us and cause issues if I reveal it.
My husband has, for years, taken meds for anxiety and depression.We are very happy together, and I love him very much.
— LET’S RIDE IN THE SOUTHDEAR LET’S RIDE: Very few people today don’t have some kind of history.Tell your husband the truth.
Believe me, he is sure to be even more anxious and depressed if the situation is revealed before you can tell him.DEAR ABBY: I’m a 70-year-old Black woman who looks about 45 or 50.I recently met a man online while playing dominoes.
We have been chatting back and forth for about two weeks now.He is 44, is of German descent and has a 9-year-old son.
The problem is, he wants to have a relationship with me. I have told him I’m 26 years older than he is, my children are older than him and I have great-grandchildren his son’s age.He says none of this matters to him.
We have never met in person, but he has invited me to come to Texas.What else can I say to persuade him that this cannot work? — OUT OF THE QUESTION IN VIRGINIADEAR OUT: My goodness, you certainly are getting the bum’s rush.
Please take some time and get to know this person better.If you are still corresponding in, say, six months, a way to demonstrate the difference in your ages would be to accept his gracious invitation to visit, and bring along one of your children. DEAR ABBY: An old hat style that created problems years ago has returned.
The brim is so large...
