In a recent Dear Abby column, a stepmother in Pennsylvania expressed concerns about her 18-year-old stepdaughter spending time with her girlfriend in her bedroom with the door closed. The stepmother stated that while they have no issue with the LGBTQ community, they are uncomfortable with the idea of sexual activity happening in their home and do not want their house to become a hook-up point. The stepmother sought advice on how to handle the situation, as they are old school about boundaries but have embraced the new relationship to their stepdaughter.
In another letter, a wife in Vermont shared her frustration with older single women in her new town showing excessive attention to her good-looking husband, causing her discomfort and trouble making friends. She expressed concerns about the women’s behavior and her ability to trust other women, as some have developed crushes on her husband. Abby advised the wife to focus on making friends with other couples and for her husband to assert his marital status when needed.
Abby advised both women to communicate their concerns with their partners and set boundaries to address the uncomfortable situations. The column offers advice and guidance on navigating sensitive issues in relationships and dealing with unwanted attention or behavior from others. Dear Abby is a popular advice column written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and has been a source of guidance for readers for many years.
