Woman wonders why people ask about her name

By Amy Dickinson, Tribune Content Agency on

Just a few days ago, he was helping our son to shop for a motorcycle online.

My son informed me that while searching, he came across a website that had motorcycles, but it also had women -- nearly nude -- posing with them.

My husband told me that he stumbled upon this site, but got out of it immediately.

I found myself wondering if I should believe him, but then felt guilty about my own reaction. I want to trust him, but it is so hard to trust him after I've felt betrayed.

I have been praying about this for a while, and I'm not sure what to do.

-- Roller-Coaster Wife

Dear Wife: First of all, it is not at all surprising that your husband basically stumbled upon a website featuring both motorcycles and nearly nude women. Searching for either of these things would undoubtedly turn up both of these things.

Your husband did the absolute right thing. He disclosed this to you immediately.

You have to learn to trust him. Trust is built every single day in many different ways. If you react with anger now, you will discourage him from being honest and transparent in the future.

 

This is hard work. He's done his part, and now you must do yours.

Dear Amy: Please remind wedding guests to please stick to the bridal registry.

Post-wedding, I am still purchasing things I needed (and had on my registry), and returning things that I don't need and already own, that were not on my registry.

-- Frustrated Mrs.

Dear Frustrated: I'd also like to remind entitled brides to be grateful for all their gifts, no matter where they come from.
