DEAR ABBY: Punctuality is important to me. My husband has many great qualities, but punctuality is not one of them.
We have been married 20-plus years and, after many discussions, have not been able to come to agreement on this. We are late to church almost every Sunday and to most parties and family events.
DEAR HARE: Yes. Take the separate cars. No one cares whether you arrive “together” or not, unless you are going to a dinner party. And if your husband will be late for that, assure your hosts that it isn’t necessary to wait for him to arrive. To the extent you can, try fudging the event time. But until he suffers the consequences, his behavior will not change.DEAR ABBY: My fiancée has been married twice and insists on maintaining contact with four prior sexual partners .
DEAR CROWDED: A “guy” either accepts what his fiancée is telling him -- that these old flames are just friends now -- or he terminates the engagement and starts searching for a woman he believes he CAN trust.DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been good friends with another couple for more than a decade. The wife has a degenerative illness and is now paralyzed and unable to feed herself. We would love to stay close with them while recognizing the problems they face in planning meetings.
