A military veteran diagnosed with PTSD, Bethany, has been causing chaos in her sister’s marriage for 15 years. She picks fights over trivial matters and plays the victim, using her diagnosis as an excuse. The husband, feeling powerless, pleads with his wife to cut off the toxic relationship before it ruins their marriage. Dear Abby suggests that Bethany’s behavior may stem from jealousy rather than PTSD and advises the couple to set boundaries and not tolerate the abuse.
In another letter, a woman discovers her husband’s affair after 28 years of marriage. During their divorce, she excludes him from a family wedding due to his infidelity. Despite being uninvited to the event, the husband insists on attending and even tries to walk the mother of the bride down the aisle. Dear Abby calls his behavior inappropriate and advises the woman to distance herself from her soon-to-be ex-husband.
