• Ask Amy: I went no-contact with my mom, and she deployed all these weapons Dear Amy: My brother and I are both in our late 30s. After years of strife and our mother’s refusal to respect any of our stated boundaries, in early 2020 (after several pointless therapy sessions with her), we made the decision to go “no contact.” We told her in therapy and in writing that we were no longer going to have a relationship, along with the specific reasons why. Coincidentally, both of us were also moving to new homes and…
• Ask Amy’s rare advice: Leave this marriage now Dear Amy: My husband of just under two years does things behind my back that he knows would hurt me. While we were dating we promised exclusivity to each other. I was true to him, and he continued to date approximately 30 women for a year and a half. I stumbled on his “rating” spreadsheet after we were living together. He recently made arrangements to meet up with his former spouse while I was safely away at work. I feed…
• Ask Amy: The noises from next door are too much to bear Dear Amy: I live in New York City in a co-op building. The apartment next door was sold eight months ago and has been unoccupied ever since. I work from home doing some freelance writing, and I teach voice lessons via Zoom. I always have between two and eight voice students, of all ages. I have wanted a canine companion for a very long time. Three weeks ago I brought home a puppy. One week later, I was given notice…
• Ask Amy: I demoted my maid of honor, and I wonder if I was wrong Dear Amy: Last year, I asked “Hannah” to be my maid of honor for my destination wedding. She exuberantly accepted and we both started planning. The wedding was only about five months away, so things needed to be figured out quickly. I gave Hannah no less than three different options of times to go dress shopping. She was always “unable to make it.” She is single, with a car, and has no real reason to be unavailable. After a couple…
• Dear Abby: My mom thinks she’s too good for senior housing DEAR ABBY: My elderly mother spent her entire adult life spending her men’s money, and now she has morphed into an entitled, self-absorbed and vapid woman. She blew through her inheritance years ago with no regard for future needs. I have now moved her into senior housing near me. She wants to make friends, but the problem is that she thinks she’s better than everyone. She criticizes people’s dress and perceived social status. Although she looks like a frail old…
• EXPLAINER: Does health care law protect emergency abortion? The Biden administration has filed its first legal challenge to a state abortion ban since the end of Roe v. Wade, arguing Idaho’s restrictive abortion law leaves doctors facing criminal penalties for providing abortion-related medical care to women in life-threatening medical situations. The Justice Department may have a strong argument in the Idaho case filed under federal health care law, but even if they win it wouldn’t allow full access to abortion there, legal experts said. It could, though, give…
• Dear Abby: My boss made me join the book club. How can I get out of this? DEAR ABBY: I have worked for the same company for 20 years. For the last eight years, I was part of an office book club, mostly because I was pressured regularly by the boss to participate. The members were mostly a clique of “mean girls.” I never felt a part of it or comfortable, but I pushed through the once-a-month meetings to keep the peace. When COVID sent everyone home to work the past two years, the book club was…

• Dear Abby: My sister has started throwing our parents’ things away DEAR ABBY: My younger sister, “Tish,” is adamant about getting our parents’ affairs in order. They are in their 80s and in excellent physical and mental health except for osteo-related issues. Tish’s constant reminders are making them feel she is rushing them to the grave. My siblings and I appreciate her intentions and support her efforts to get our parents to finalize their trust arrangements, but it’s reached a point where she wants to start selling their belongings and is…
