Dear Abby counsels a woman who’s been cheating on her husband, and shares a poem that some parents may find helpful.
I have been dating outside my marriage. My husband doesn’t know. It’s nothing serious — just dinner, drinks and dancing. All the men have been single. I would never go out with a married man. All of them have respected my boundaries. I don’t want to be unfaithful to my husband; I’m just having a little fun. Do you think a little goodnight kiss would be OK, to show my appreciation? —While shopping at the mall, I have seen too many stressed-out parents ignore or yell at their children.
