Mom wants to run daughter's life from a distance
Am I justified in feeling a sense of betrayal?
-- Hurt
Dear Hurt: Yes, your feelings are justified.
Now, what are you going to do about it?
I hope you will be brave enough to confront your husband. Be completely honest about how his behavior affects you. It is time for him to communicate with you about the intimacy he has been reserving for this other woman.
Dear Amy: "Sad" was a woman who'd had a devastating breakup decades ago.
Recently the man who rejected her recognized her at an airport. "Sad" told him he was mistaken, and that she wasn't the woman he thought she was.
Well, Sad is right! She is NOT the woman she was 30 years ago. I wish you'd pointed that out.
-- Been There
Dear Been There: Brilliant. Thank you.
