Dear Abby: I had a close friendship with a collaborator. We have lunch together and shared many personal and intimate stories. We were two work Newbies, even though I started six months before he did.
It is well adapted to the work environment, but I am still fighting with different personalities and community styles. Because he is better placed at work than I am, he has become part of narrow circuits within management. I think he eventually wants to advance his career as far as he can.
I feel like I left because its advantages changed and our friendship remained from the road. Now I’m realizing that people don’t have to have friends at work. Why do I feel such a loss and miss this collaborator I thought was a friend? – California
Dear Discarded: It takes a level of confidence to share intimate details of our lives with someone. If that person takes a step back and goes in a different direction, it is certainly harmful. You came to your associate for emotional support and now she is gone. You wouldn’t be human if you didn’t mourn for the loss.
On the plus side, you have learned from this experience. Labor relationships are only them, and it is not wise to expect more of them. You have had a prejudice what your relationship with this person would be like; He had other ambitions, and he is acting on them. Such is life.
Dear Abby: My husband’s parents divorced when he was young and he gained a beautiful, solitaire diamond from his mother’s engagement ring. The diamond was made in a engagement ring for his first marriage (which, of course, ended up in divorce.)
As a couple, we are trying to decide what to do with the stone. His mother does not want her again. We can sell it (it has been evaluated/certified by the Gemological Institute), or he adapted it and hold it in a necklace.
I am not sure of the right action to take this situation. Although it is not a pressing issue, we have discussed it for several years now. Your input would be appreciated. – Bejeweled in the west
Dear Bejeweled: It seems that the diamond has only brought bad luck to the two women who have washed it. You know its money value, so consider taking it to a jeweler and discussing a trade about something you will enjoy wearing, such as earrings or a bracelet. (Where I live, multiple gold chain bracelets and necklace are popular.)
