Wife does too much and receives too little
I'd love to reply, "Well, your sister and your friend also owe us gifts," but I know that would be petty.
How can I get over this, and help my husband let it go, as well?
-- Ungifted bride
Dear Ungifted: Your husband is the one who keeps this going by making these snide comments.
You should finish it. Remind him that there are people in his world who also didn't give a wedding gift, but at this point it is petty and unkind to continue to bring it up. Tell him you're over it, and it would be nice if he would get over it, too.
Dear Amy: I was disgusted by the letter from "Atheist Mom and Dad," as well as your response. It was quite obvious from your sympathetic response that you are an atheist, too.
-- Faithful
Dear Faithful: Don't tell my Sunday school class; they'd be quite surprised.
