Dear Abby: My husband’s female friend sends that heart emojis. Should I worry?

Dear Abby: My husband has a female friend with whom she grew up. They have exchanged “Happy Birthday” texts for many years.

However, they have recently begun writing more often. An example: one night he was mixing a drink and texting it if Pepsi or Coke would use it.

On his birthday, I saw her text and saw that there were two emojis on both sides of her message. That bothered me a lot, and I told him his flirting speaking to stop.

He says I’m unreasonable and he is doing nothing wrong. This has caused a rift between us.

Abby, be I’m unreasonable? I saw a therapist who said that my husband has an emotional relationship with this woman and I had the right to get bored.

The therapist also said he should stop because I am his wife and he sees how bothering me.

My husband’s response? “Well, you dry the therapist YOUR The side of the story. “We have been married for 18 years and together for 24.

He’s a good partner and I love him. What is your advice? – Suspicious in Iowa

Darling suspicious: Your husband had a point when he said that your therapist was heard one side of the story. You have been married to a “good partner” for 18 years and together for 24.

If your husband has not shown signs of loss before, it is unlikely to do anything more than communicating with an old friend.

The hearts included in a text message may seem effective, but they are not necessarily statements of romantic love.

Some common sessions with an impartial marriage and family therapist can help to calm your fears. I recommend it with my heart.

Dear Abby: I’m in a warm and loving relationship. We’ve been together for 20 years. We were both previously married to terrible people.

We both said at the beginning that we didn’t want to do rebar. However, while we are aging and my health is not that good, I would like to marry him.

I have hinted several times that I would like a Christmas ring or my birthday. Nothing has passed.

How can I bring this to him? Also, if he is determined against marriage, how can I talk to him about authorization and things? – Eye of the future in Mississippi

Dear Eye: A ring should be the least of your concerns. You are delayed for a serious conversation with your partner.

If he had a medical emergency, would he want you to make medical decisions about his care?

The same is true for financial decisions. Does he have a will? So you?

You both need to talk about it with a lawyer who can guide you. You should also have healthcare directives and share with your doctor.

If, after 20 years with you, this man is still a marriage, there are ways you can protect that they do not include a trip to the altar. Please start exploring them now.
