Daughter does not 'heart' anniversary gift
Fast-forward two weeks and he doesn't talk to me anymore. We used to text multiple times a day and he would call me every day.
I'm just confused as to what this guy wants from me. I also want to know if it's worth it to mess up what I have with my boyfriend by breaking it off with him to try things with this new guy, who doesn't want a relationship. To be honest, I only wanted something physical with this guy anyway. I'm just not sure what to do. -- Confused
DEAR CONFUSED: This isn't actually all that confusing. The guy at work is not into you. Leave him alone. Your relationship with your boyfriend is not working. You probably should leave him alone too.
DEAR AMY: I think you should add something in the advice you gave to "New Stepmom." I married a wonderful man with two sons and I, too, had no children of my own. I'd advise her not to talk negatively about their mother in front of them.
My sons, as I like to call them, grew up to be wonderful husbands and fathers. Their father has been gone now for 12 years but I'm still very much involved in their lives. -- Grateful Stepmother and Grandmother
DEAR GRATEFUL: Being a stepparent is a very challenging job. You did well.
