Crush on married boss
causes heartache for worker
DEAR ABBY: I’m 20
years old and have a job in
retail. I have been working
here for a few years and am
in a higher position than most
associates.
I'm in a relationship with
my high school sweetheart,
whom I truly love, but I am
also crazy about my boss.
She's beautiful, funny, and
to be honest, I jumped at my
promotion so I could get
closer to her.
I feel terrible because,
while I love my girlfriend
(she’s amazing), if I were
given the chance to be with
my boss, I'd have a hard time
saying no. Thankfully, my
boss is in a long-term mar
riage, so I know in my head I
have no chance, but it hurts to
go on every day thinking
about her. I'd hate myself if I
never told her how I feel
about her. What should I do?
— REALLY CONFUSED
IN RETAIL
DEAR REALLY
CONFUSED: Because you
are excelling in this retail job,
consider asking your beauti
ful, funny, married boss to
write a positive letter of rec
ommendation for you so you
can find another job in retail
— one that won't make you
ache every time you clock in.

DEAR ABBY: My hus
band and I have been asked
to be in his sister's wedding.
We said yes, mostly out of
obligation.
There will be three mar
ried couples in the proces
sion. I recently learned that
my sister-in-law plans to
have the couples split up and
walk with others. I think it's
extremely weird and rude, so
much so that we want to
back out. Neither of us cares
to be in a memory book with
us posing with other people.
It's not that either of us is
jealous; we have been mar
ried for 24 years. What do
you think? —FEELING
OBLIGATED IN THE
EAST
DEAR FEELING
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
OBLIGATED: I think that
before you take offense and
back out, you should ask
your sister-in-law why she
wants to do this. It could be
something as simple as vari
ations in the height of the
participants and not weird or
rude. Between you and me,
unless you and your hus
band feel so strongly about
this that you are willing to
create a rift in the family,
you should go along with
his sister's fantasy of her
perfect day.

DEAR ABBY: I can't do
anything for my 70-some-
thing-year-old mom without
her thanking me so much it
makes me uncomfortable. A
recent example: She moved
to a new apartment, and I
bought her some gift certifi
cates as a housewarming gift.
She thanked me profusely
via email when she received
them. She thanked me again
over the phone when I next
spoke with her. She's
thanked me at least half a
dozen more times — each
time she uses one of them.
When my sister and I paid
for a trip for her, she bought
us expensive gifts as thank-
yous. The gifts cost far more
than she could afford (and
unfortunately, in my case,
was something I'd never
use), which kind of negated
the idea of us paying for the
trip.
I know Mom means well.
Should I say or do anything,
or just let it be? —
THANKS-FULL SON IN
SEATTLE
DEAR SON: If you say
something, you risk embar
rassing your mother or,
worse, hurting her feelings. I
vote for just letting it be.
