DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been happily married for 23 years and have two children. Is it okay for my mother-in-law to tell my husband something and demand that he not tell me? The “secret” is: His sister, who has two children, is getting divorced.
We don’t see either of them often, and there has never been a time when we were on bad terms or gossiped about his family. His mom is just very secretive. I have nobody to share that news with and, honestly, I don’t judge the situation. My husband told me the news immediately, and was upset his mom asked him not to tell me. We don’t think it was right. We are a team. Do you agree? -- HATES SECRETS
I have been blessed with wonderful friends. The issue is, they are all married, and I find I am no longer invited to events, outings and get-togethers like I was when I had a partner. I know my friends enjoy my company, but when they make plans, they think only about inviting other couples.
