Friend cant hold tongue
about womans bad choices
DEAR ABBY: I have a
friend who's 22 and has two
children, which I helped her
to deliver. She is also my
neighbor. Since she moved
in and divorced her husband,
my husband and I have
watched her make bad
choices over and over again,
starting with the derelict
men she dates to the way
she gets drank, then drives
her paper route at night. She
blows her money on tattoos
and then asks us for food.
It's become exhausting.
She’s now dating another
man who’s obviously using
her. I have a hard time not
telling him off when I see
him. He won’t get a job and
he keeps her in perpetual
relationship limbo, which
forces her to focus all her
attention on him and neglect
her children and home.
What can I do? I value her
so much I lose sleep. She
constantly posts on social
media that she’s lonely and
everyone always leaves her,
but she gets mad at me for
telling her where she keeps
going wrong. Why can’t she
understand that she’s doing
this to herself? How can I
help her see her errors, so
she can move on from this
awful phase? — CARING
FRIEND IN FLORIDA
DEAR CARING
FRIEND: Your friend has a
job. If she weren’t support
ing her boyfriend, she would
be able to support herself
and her children. The more
you give her, the more reli
ant she will become on your
handouts.
Take it from a profession
al: The most unwelcome
advice is that which is
unasked for, which is why
she gets angry when you try
to tell her what she’s doing
wrong. She doesn’t want to
hear it. The way to get
someone like this to recog
nize her "errors" is to stop
trying to save her from
them.
You can’t fix what’s
wrong in her life — only she
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
can do that — so step back.
If you really think her chil
dren are going hungry, con
tact child protective services,
so those kids can get the
help they need.

DEAR ABBY: My fiance
and I are both 68. We have
been engaged for a year
now. When we shopped for
an engagement ring, we also
purchased wedding bands
because the jewelry store
was having a sale.
Because of our ages, I
have come to feel that there
is no compelling reason to
get married. It would be a
big legal hassle, and there’s
no reason why we just can
not live together. He agrees.
However, we have made a
commitment to each other,
and I call him my husband
and he calls me his wife.
My question is, would it
be OK for us to wear the
wedding bands, even though
we are not legally married ? I
wonder if other couples
have done this having made
that commitment to each
other. Your thoughts? —
HAPPILY TOGETHER
DEAR HAPPILY: No
law forbids the two of you
from wearing wedding
rings and calling yourselves
married. Others have done
it. In some states, after a
period of time, the arrange
ment would become a com-
mon-law marriage.
However, before making a
final decision to do this, you
and your fiance should dis
cuss it with a lawyer. There
are certain guarantees and
benefits to being legally
wed, because spouses have
rights of inheritance and
decision-making in case of
illness that unwed couples
do not enjoy.
