Rekindling Old Flame Causes Sparks to Fly

Ask Amy — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 20:28:58 +0000

Dear Amy: I have been in a committed relationship with a woman for 20 years in a long distance relationship. She is age 69 and I am 70. We see each other at least once a month, sometimes more, and on most holidays, like a week at Christmas and Thanksgiving, and go on big trips. [...]

Filthy Mouth

Ask Amy — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 21:36:12 +0000

Dear Amy: I have a guy friend who I know would like to be more than a friend. He is very good to me, but he has a filthy mouth that I cannot tolerate. He swears all the time, crabs at everyone while driving and says vulgar things. I have asked him to stop all of it [...]

Critical Father

Ask Amy — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 20:14:53 +0000

Dear Amy: Recently, my mother passed away and ever since then my father has been overly critical of everything I do. This is not a new phenomenon, but rather this is something that has been happening ever since I was fourteen. I was a good student in school, rarely gave anyone a problem, and silently put [...]

Flirting While Married

Ask Amy — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 20:09:33 +0000

At what point does a flirt cross the line? Dear Amy: I saw your answer to the man who leaned against his boss’ wife and I have to tell you, I didn’t agree with your answer. Leaning, hugging, friendly touching is not taboo in this day and age. Touching taboos came about from HR laws that prohibit sexual abuse [...]

Friendly Affection Misunderstood

Ask Amy — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 23:51:39 +0000

Dear Amy: I am a single businessman and host an annual get-together at my home for networking between business associates, both single and married. I greeted all of my guests at this year’s event with a warm hello and affectionate hug as they arrived at my home and was attentive throughout the evening, even though the [...]

Wedding Gift Giving Etiquette

Ask Amy — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 22:55:51 +0000

Dear Amy: I have been friends with a guy for over ten years. In recent years, we’ve been drifting apart, but we’re still friends. He recently told me he was getting married. I congratulated him and wished him well and hoped to hear more as we got closer to the date. Then I found out through [...]

Internet Porn Discovered on Computer

Ask Amy — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 06:05:35 +0000

Dear Amy: I went to my compter to listen to music and found many porn videos on it, then found the rest later on today and I was very upset. I felt like my husband was cheating on me and I was so sad to see that while I was at work or asleep [...]

Visits from Parents are Stressful

Ask Amy — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 19:10:59 +0000

Dear Amy: When my parents come from another state to visit, it is a very stressful time for me. They are not particularly good house guests, and although I try to “let it roll” I find myself overly stressed and wishing the visit would end. It is not relaxing for me, and I’ve thought that things [...]

Feelings of Insecurity in Relationship

Ask Amy — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 00:34:29 +0000

Dear Amy: As an inexperienced 18 year old, I’m having problems with what is considered to be my “best friend.” We’ve made many plans to move in together and do everything we can (and marry each other by the time were 35, if were both single). We have a friend that we both hang out [...]

Caught in the middle with an HR issue

Ask Amy — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 23:01:22 +0000

Dear Amy: I have a common HR issue that I am unable to solve as I am caught in the middle with nowhere to turn. An employee under my direction is related to both of the company principals. No one outside top management is privy to this knowledge because this person does not share the same last name. I can’t go [...]
