Dear Abby advises a woman who thinks her friend would be happier if she got a divorce.
How do I tell my friend “Lila” that I think she’d be happier if she got divorced? To be clear, I don’t think her relationship is unsafe — it’s just unhappy. Things have been rocky with her wife for a while now. They keep trying to work things out, but every few months, something new comes up or becomes a problem again. Lila cares deeply about her wife. She really wants to make things work, but I constantly hear she feels neglected and unattractive because of how her wife treats her.
I don’t think what happened should be ignored. By all means, speak up. You and the other committee members are certainly entitled to let the perpetrators know how it made you feel. You’re not the only person who is flabbergasted. So am I.What can I buy for Christmas for my brother who is terminally ill with cancer? Nothing seems right — not music, books or any of the things he has always enjoyed. I’m at a loss. Any thoughts? —I am so sorry about your brother’s diagnosis.
