A man writes to Annie Lane seeking advice on what to do about his wife’s ongoing texting affair with another man, Mike. The wife claims it is over, but the man is unsure. He considers telling Mike’s wife about the affair to reveal the truth.
Annie advises the man to focus on his own relationship, seek marriage counseling, and understand why his wife sought emotional connection with someone else. She suggests that Mike should be the one to tell his wife about his feelings, rather than the man interfering in their relationship.
The man also receives a letter from a retired pediatrician suggesting that his 4-year-old son’s lack of interest in books and inability to sit still may be a sign of ADHD. The pediatrician recommends discussing the possibility with the child’s doctor to address the issue early on.
Annie appreciates the insight from the pediatrician and acknowledges the importance of considering ADHD as a possibility for children who exhibit similar behaviors. She encourages seeking professional help and support for both the child and the family.
Annie Lane’s latest anthology, “How Can I Forgive My Cheating Partner?” is now available, featuring columns on marriage, infidelity, communication, and reconciliation. Readers can send their questions to dearannie@creators.com for advice and guidance.
