Wife hates husband's secret lingerie habit
My boyfriend wants us to make up. Am I wrong to ignore her? Even if she were to offer me an apology at this point, I'm so angry I don't want her involved in any part of my life.
-- Silent
Dear Silent: If you want for things to continue as they are -- with you being furious for over a year and playing the victim -- then by all means, keep doing what you're doing. If you want for things to change, then you should start behaving differently, and agree to listen when someone attempts to talk to you.
Dear Amy: "Don't Like Dirty Laundry" was a woman whose middle-age "macho" boyfriend had never done his own laundry!
Well, my dear husband of many decades never did a load of laundry in his life. But he did so many other things! He died four years ago, and I'd give anything to wash his clothes again.
-- Missing Him
Dear Missing: These simple acts hold so much power in our memories. My condolences.
