Man uses wife’s problems at
work against her at home
DEAR ABBY: My hus
band tends to fight dirty,
and I don't know how
much more I can take. If
we argue about some
issue between us, he'll
say something along the
lines of, "This is why you
have so much trouble with
your colleagues at work."
He knows this is a touchy
subject, and it upsets me.
I have ongoing issues
with two work colleagues
who give me the silent
treatment for months over
perceived (but not inten
tional) slights, and it
causes me a lot of social
isolation and anguish.
I'm upset that he brings
this up when we argue to
validate his point of view.
Of course, this escalates
our fights and eventually
he apologizes. However, I
know the next disagree
ment we have he'll resort
to similar tactics.
We have tried counsel
ing, but it's tough to fit
into our busy schedules,
and it never stopped him
from resorting to personal
attacks of character dur
ing our fights. I don't
know what to do any
more. I want to forgive
him, but I don't see the
point since his apologies
don't mean anything. Is
there anything left for us
to try before I throw in the
towel? — TOO TIRED
TO FIGHT
DEAR TOO TIRED:
As I see it, you have two
issues to deal with. You
have two "colleagues" at
work who have ganged up
on you and are creating a
hostile work environment
by giving you the silent
treatment. They don't
have to love you, but they
do have to work coopera
tively with you, which
they aren't doing. You
should report it to human
resources or your boss, so
it can be dealt with in a
professional manner.
As to your husband and
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
what he's been doing on
the home front, tell him
he has a choice — make
the time to work with a
counselor and learn to
fight fair or you will con
sult a lawyer about ending
the marriage.

DEAR ABBY: I recent
ly became friendly with a
couple who lost their
40-year-old son six
months ago. We have
grown close over the last
several months.
The issue is, as they are
mourning the passing of
their child, they have
turned their home into a
shrine. There are pictures
of him in every room, etc.
I know everyone handles
grief differently, but this
seems excessive, if not a
little creepy.
I suggested they see a
therapist, which they did,
but only a couple of
times. Believe it or not,
they were told they were
on the right track! Do you
have any suggestions? —
FINDS IT DEPRESSING
IN INDIANA
DEAR FINDS: I sure
do! Stop judging that cou
ple and expecting them to
get over the loss of their
child on your timetable.
Their therapist has told
them they are on the right
track, and if you are going
to continue to be a sup
portive friend, you must
abandon your preconcep
tions about how they
should deal with their
loss. Be supportive. Listen
when they need to talk.
And when you can, give
them positive messages
that may lighten their
load.
