Dear Abby….Stupidity and Whores Abound!
Dear Abby: Our son, “Jason,” has decided to leave college with only two semesters left in order to pursue his love of river guiding and outdoor programs. While he was in school, his father and I paid for his cell phone, health and car insurance, rent and tuition because we wanted his focus to be on his studies. Now that he has decided to leave school, we think he should assume these expenses.
My husband and I disagree about who should pay for any future education Jason wants. If he goes back to school, his tuition will be paid for, says Dad. I think we would be enabling him if he thought we were always ready to foot the bill. We are heartsick, but Jason’s mind is made up. Any advice?
Again – I have to ask why people write a stranger for advice when they are adults and capable of making their own decisions. If your son is such a slackass that he can’t bear to stay in school for two more semesters to finish his degree, in an age where having a college degree in anything is so much more likely to aid you in securing employment anywhere, let him go and tell him good luck. I hope he enjoys paying for all of his own expenses with his lower wage as he rides the river. And when, in two years, someone says “we’d like to promote you, but the position requires a college degree” and he decides to go back to school, I hope he enjoys the school loans he’ll take on to finish his education.
When people used to have high school and college graduation parties, I always had to laugh. My mother always used to say….”why would we have a party? We EXPECT you to graduate from high school and college. Why wouldn’t you complete that goal?” It’s called adult-hood….enjoy.
DEAR ABBY: I met “Guy” seven years ago and fell deeply in love. We dated for a couple of months, but one day with no warning he broke up with me on my voicemail.
Three weeks after the breakup, Guy came to my home. It was the week of his wedding, which he never bothered to mention. I later heard he had been married from a mutual friend. I knew Guy had been seeing someone, but he never indicated that it was serious.
We have been having an affair ever since our breakup. Because I love him, I can’t say no to him. He’ll go through periods where he says he’s getting divorced. He even told my mom that. Then he calls and says they’re going to work it out. I never pushed. I want him to be happy — even if it’s not with me — and I want no part in causing a divorce. Every time I start to get over Guy, he comes around again. It’s like he has radar.
The last time we slept together, a month ago, he told me he thought he had married the wrong woman. The next day, he admitted he has too much at stake to make a change. I am in so much pain. I don’t want to be his mistress. If I tell his wife, Guy will never speak to me again. Should I tell her? — RUNNER-UP IN CHEYENNE
First of all, you’re a whore. Sorry. You dated a couple of months and fell deeply in love and then he broke up with you – why? Because he was about to get married. AND you knew he was seeing someone the whole time!!! So you go ahead and continue to fuck him. Aren’t you sweet to support him as he maintains a marriage he doesn’t want to be in. Guess what sweetheart, he didn’t HAVE to get married.
You are already his mistress….and I’m sorry, but what kind of a family do you have if the married guy you are fucking also talks to your mother??? My mother would be appalled if I were having an affair with a married man, let alone talk to the douche bag!!
So close your legs, change your phone number, move if you have to. I’d call his wife and say “just wanted to let Guy know that he left his boxers and handcuffs at my house….when would be a good time to drop them off?”
Stop being his whore and find a man who doesn’t use you as an escape from his reality of his own choosing.
