Dear Abby: My best 45 -year -old friend and I am 65 years old. She is married; I have divorced in my leg for many years.
Recently I was surprised by stating that a common friend touched her, I have Bone having an adventure with a well -known married!
This is false, and now I wonder if she said it because she suspects him.
When I got angry and said that I would be the other friend, she demanded that she did not, because she would say “to make it look bad for the account.”
Could my suspicion be correct? If the other person were the one who really suspended me, why wouldn’t my friend question him?

Dear Lady Perplex: Without knowing his best 45 -year -old friend, I’m not in a position to answer that question. However, the safest way to get to the bottom of this would be to go directly to the person that her best friend said to her and ask where she went.
Dear Abby: My daughter is married in a few weeks and insists that she feels with her father at the ceremony.
Abby, we have divorced bones for 20 years. I married again for 12. His father has not married again.
My husband has not tried to replace his father, and I think he is rude that he is expected to sit with the guests instead of me, his wife.
I was forced to do this at my other daughter’s wedding a few months ago, and she was very uncomfortable.
I want to wait for my daughter’s day. What is your opinion about this?

Dear musical chairs: You must go to that seat arrangement at your other daughter’s wedding, and you must do it in this case. Your husband belongs to your side.
If you and your ex are friendly, your ex could sit on your husband’s opposite side. If you are not, you could sit at the end of the row in the hall.
But her husband should not be forced to sit with the other guests, because she is more than a guest, she is a family member.
Dear Abby: For vacations and special occasions, we always have eight people at a six -place dining table.
Two or our guests are “orphans”, who were invited by my best. The problem is that man is a chain smoker, and I almost always have a headache divided into his presence.
I can contain my breathing during the 10 seconds or when he and I hug Hi, but what do you suggest or do at the table? I will be at the most frank extreme possible, but I will still be just a few meters from the problem. Disaverifying them is not an option.
– smoked in California
Dear smoked: You are lucky. You live in California, where it is possible to open windows and obtain cross ventilation.
Because it is possible to uninform these guests, give their dining room the greatest possible air and insist that if their guests “must” smoking it, they do it outside and far from the open windows.
