Erotic fiction turns into catfishing reality

By Amy Dickinson, Tribune Content Agency on

Anyone can understand why your boyfriend's actions scared your sister. And so rather than you explaining his actions and apologizing for him, he should handle this manly chore himself.

He should say to her, "Hey. I'm really embarrassed that I scared and creeped you out. I feel awful. It was a drunken mistake, and I hope you can forgive me."

If he can't seem to bring himself to do this, then maybe he really is the creep your sister seems to think he is.

It is your right to be with whomever you want to be with. Just remember that only a true sister will hold your hair while you puke in the toilet.

I hope you will use this incident to rethink your drinking habits.

Dear Amy: I couldn't believe your answer to "Student Loan Woes!" This person was looking for her mother to bail her out, and you agreed with her!

 

What ever happened to fixing your own problems?

-- Upset

Dear Upset: I offered this student several resources to try to renegotiate her student loan burden, among them asking her mother for a loan. I didn't see this as a "bail out" but as a negotiation.
