Dear Abby received a heartbreaking letter from a woman in Louisiana who shared her struggles with her husband of 30 years, who had an affair and lied about her. The woman left him but returned for financial reasons despite feeling unworthy and unhappy. Abby advised her to seek help from the National Domestic Violence Hotline to escape the financial control of her husband and find happiness.
In another letter, a woman from Pennsylvania shared her dissatisfaction with her controlling boyfriend of 11 years who only wants to have fun with his son and friends, leaving her out. Despite claiming to love her, he only seems interested in sex. Abby advised her to do the things she wants with other people and evaluate if she wants to continue in a relationship where she feels used.
