Dear Abby: How do I make my adrenaline junkie husband leave me alone?

DEAR ABBY: My husband is an adrenaline junkie who loves high speeds and fast cars.I am the opposite.

I hate riding in fast cars, on roller coasters or anything adrenaline-related.I have explained to him many times that I don’t enjoy going fast in his super-fast car, yet he keeps asking me to go with him.

I’ll do it sometimes, but I hate it.If I refuse to accompany him, he feels rejected.

But she IS really intense and may be angry.— OOPS! IN OREGONDEAR OOPS!: Cross your fingers and wait it out.

You will know whether you owe her an apology the next time you or your husband try to invite them out.If you’re lucky, she didn’t hear you.

Next time, wait until you’re safely in your car to unsheathe your claws, pussycat.DEAR ABBY: I need to live with someone because I’m on the verge of being homeless.I have been in homeless shelters, and I have also lived alone, but I can’t do that again because it causes my anxiety and depression to act up.I just started talking to this guy.

We are starting to like each other, but we haven’t met in person, and I am wondering if you t...
