Woman looks for exit ramp
out of one-way friendship
DEAR ABBY: I have a
friend who brags nonstop
about her boyfriend, her
job, her new car, etc. She
only comes out of the
woodwork every so often
to text me things like,
"Roy just got a $13 raise
at work!" I respond with
wholehearted support and
congratulations, then
don't hear from her again
until days later, when I
receive another text say
ing something like, "My
boss said I can work any
hours I want from now
on!"
I'm not sure why she
sends me these messages.
Could it be to make me
jealous of her "fairytale"
lifestyle, which I'm not
sure I believe she even
truly lives?
We have no other
meaningful conversation
or time together, and I am
growing tired of texts that
are solely meant to show
case her wins in life. I
have tried to distance
myself by responding less
and less and not initiating
conversations, but then
she asks why I'm "mad"
at her. I feel like I am
nothing more than a wall
she posts her accomplish
ments on. I have no desire
to be "friends" with her
anymore, but I'm not sure
how to get out of it.
Thoughts? —
EX-FRIEND IN THE
EAST
DEAR EX-FRIEND:
Continue to respond to
her texts less and less fre
quently. If she asks if you
are mad at her, tell her
you aren't mad, you are
busy. If she wants more
detail, tell her you have
noticed that she has
shown no interest in what
your life is like, and to
you that's not friendship.

DEAR ABBY: My
mother is getting up in
years. Because of a multi-
DEAR ABBY

tude of health problems,
she will soon have to
enter a nursing home. She
currently lives in her own
home with her dog,
"Skippy," and is facing
the problem of what to do
with Skippy when she has
to move.
Skippy has growled at
people in the past, includ
ing children, and has a
brief biting history, which
limits Mom's options and
makes it impossible for
her to bring the dog with
her to a group nursing
home. We're unable to
take Skippy on because
we're at our legal limit,
according to the laws of
our municipality, and we
know of no one we can
place a dog with such
issues with. Any ideas?
—NEEDS A HOME
FOR NIPPY SKIPPY
DEAR NEEDS:
Contact the dog rescue
groups in your area.
Perhaps they can locate a
home for an older dog —
I assume Skippy is older
— in a household where
there are no children. It's
regrettable that your
mother didn't socialize
her pet when it was a
puppy, because it would
have made it easier to
keep Skippy with her.
