In a recent letter to Dear Abby, a reader expressed feeling torn between staying in an unhappy marriage for the sake of their child or leaving to pursue a potential relationship with an old work friend. The reader’s friend is also unhappy in their marriage, but has not mentioned wanting a divorce. Dear Abby advised the reader to think strategically and rationally before making any decisions that could have a negative impact on themselves and their child.
In another letter, a reader shared feeling overlooked and isolated in their workplace. Despite working for a progressive company with good compensation and benefits, the reader described feeling excluded by their co-workers who are mostly in their 30s and from upper-middle-class backgrounds. Dear Abby suggested that the reader focus on the positive aspects of their job and consider how much longer they want to work there before retiring. If the isolation becomes too much, seeking employment elsewhere was also recommended.
