Dear Abby: My wife will not stop leaving the nails of chewed nails in our children’s game room

Dear Abby: I am married with two children, 6 and 4. I love them and my wife. When I met her, I knew she was a little messy. I am neat, regular and generally organized. Over time, its behavior (specifically, purity and adjustment) has grown worse. Arriving at the point where she leaves her nails chewed, where our children play barefoot. She refuses to help with housework or be a functional part of the family.

I don’t want a divorce because I know it would ruin the lives of children. I have been holding out while begging polytely for some of the cleaning issues to be resolved but had zero impact. I’m ready to lose my mind, and my hair is significantly thinning out of stress. Likes how to have a third child. What to do? – Shocked in Florida

Dear Shocked: A woman and mother, whose general behavior and purity have worsened to the point that she leaves her nails chewed on the floor where her children play may be experiencing mental problems. Withdrawal as you have described is not normal behavior and can be a cry for help.

Contact your health insurance company and your doctor so that your wife can be physically and neurologically evaluated. After that, you will have a better idea of ​​what to do. While this could simply be the behavior of a disorganized and excited housewife, I am worried that it could be more.

Dear Abby: I am a widow with two living children (a boy died from Covid in 2021). My daughter wants me to go to a navigation with next year. I don’t feel comfortable about strange crowds and people. This is the second to lose my son and the lack of disguise nowadays.

I told my daughter not in sailing. She hurt her feelings, and now I’m the one I feel bad. Should I feel guilty because I worry about my health? I continue with all my vaccinations, including the flu, and I’m healthy, but I don’t associate as often as I used to. My doctor has told me that at my age it is important to always be careful. Your thoughts? – California

Dear Careful: In the light of the facts you have lost your son in Covid and that your doctor has warned you to be careful, your care is understandable. I am sorry that you did not mention the size of the ship in which your daughter is planning to rest because the ships are so large that they can put you in close contact with although other skills.

Being updated in your vaccinations is wise, but does not guarantee that you do not contract another community disease. Tell your daughter you would like to rest with her under different circumstances, but your health must come first and do not feel guilty of such action.
