Dear ABBY: My stepmother “Annie” gave my husband a photo album of his life for his 80th birthday. The album included pictures of his parents and grandparents, as well as photos from his first marriage – to Annie’s mother. She included a photo of their wedding and two others posing as a couple in love. She included several pictures of me, even though her father and I have been married for more than 40 of his 80 years. A picture from our wedding was not included.
I love Annie. We get along and I’m so hurt that she included those two “couple in love” photos. I think it was inappropriate for an album that she expects to be displayed at our house for family, friends and neighbors to see. I would like to ask him to reissue the album without those two pictures. Am I being unreasonable? – NJALKA IN THE SOUTH
DEAR STEPMOTHER: Since you have a good relationship with Annie, explain to her that you felt upset when you saw the album and why. Explain that you want to be able to display it prominently whether she would beg you to either reprint it with the addition of some photos of you and your husband together, or just her parents’ wedding photo. This should not be difficult to do.
Dear ABBY: My 8 year old grandson accidentally fell on my dog ​​who then reacted and hit him leaving a small puncture mark on his arm. We immediately removed the dog and apologized to my nephew who was filled with guilt because he knew he caused it. Because it was an accident, I told my nephew it was okay.
Weeks later, my sister and I realized that my brother hasn’t responded to any of our daily text messages or Facebook posts. When we see him in person, he is fine. He jokes with us and even plans to rent a storage unit with us for our grandparents’ stuff. But then he ignores our text messages.
We told our mother that he has been ignoring us for too long. He admitted that he is very upset with the whole family for not training our dog not to react when hit. I now feel that my brother’s willful misbehavior is worse than the accident. What do you think? — SIS THAT WILL HARMONY
DEAR SIS: What happened to your nephew was an accident. Your brother’s behavior is passive-aggressive and childish. I think you should ignore him and stop texting him and commenting on his Facebook posts for a while. For a long time. right?
Dear ABBY: I’m a divorced woman who recently decided to jump back into the dating pool. However, five years ago, I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. I’m in treatment and I’m fine. When and how do I tell someone I’m seeing that I have cancer? — READY IN CALIFORNIA
Dear GATI: The time to reveal your medical diagnosis will be when the relationship becomes romantic. It would be dishonest to withhold that information from someone who is emotionally invested in you.
