DEAR ABBY: I have been seeing a hairstylist for a decade. During the last couple of years, I don't feel I've gotten the service I deserve. I go in for a trim about every two months (sometimes longer to save money). She is extremely busy and sometimes delegates "green" hairstylists to wash and blow-dry my hair.

I appreciate that she gives new ...Read more

DEAR ABBY: My girlfriend, whom I have known for many years, remarried her ex-husband a few years ago. I didn't know her when she was married to him the first time.

My husband and I don't like him. The last time we met for lunch, her husband showed my husband a gun he was carrying in his pocket! Abby, he's an elderly man with a tremor in his ...Read more

DEAR ABBY: After being married overseas, my daughter recently held a wedding reception stateside. My husband and his sister were able to attend the wedding. I could not because of serious business obligations, so I was really looking forward to the local reception.

My sister-in-law, who lost her husband 18 months ago, sat next to me and cried ...Read more

DEAR ABBY: I have been dating this guy for five years. Two years ago, one of his friends came on to me through a text. I told him I'm not the kind of woman who cheats. He respected that and didn't text me again. I told my boyfriend the very next day, and he no longer trusts me! Ever since then, he questions what I'm doing and where I am and ...Read more

DEAR ABBY: I have two sisters. Our mother passed away last year after a bad fall. I was her primary caretaker and was with her every day. The other two sisters were not speaking to her at all, which hurt her deeply. She had dementia but still missed them and would talk about them often. It was all very sad.

When Mom died, my older sister wouldn...Read more

DEAR ABBY: I have been married to my husband for more than 20 years. He's mostly very nice, although he has generalized anxiety disorder. In the past, he threatened to kill someone (not me!) as well as himself and had to be hospitalized.

Ninety-nine percent of the time he's friendly and thoughtful, except for one thing: He isn't capable of ...Read more

DEAR ABBY: I have been married for 52 years. While looking for a tax document, I found a manila envelope that had a note written on the outside. It said, "If something happens to me, please destroy this, because I don't want to hurt anyone." I opened the envelope and found nude pictures of my husband and another woman taken 30 years ago.

When I...Read more

DEAR ABBY: Over the last few years, my family has faced a lot of loss, especially my mother. In the span of three years, she has lost her parents, my father and my brother. We had a little joy with my son being born. He brought a lot of happiness when everybody was heartbroken.

Right after my brother's death, we found out we were unexpectedly ...Read more
