Divorcing mom is grateful
for new mans friendship
DEAR ABBY: A year
ago my 13-year marriage
fell apart. My husband,
“Rick," will be spending
the next six years in prison.
I am 32 and have two boys,
ages 13 and 15.
The last year has been
pretty tough for all of us.
I’ve been learning how to
be both mother and father
to them. I am also heartbro
ken by what he did that
landed him in prison. I
have filed for divorce, and
there will be no reconcilia
tion.
I never thought I would
be with another man. Rick
is the only man I have ever
been with. But over the last
couple of months I have
begun developing feelings
for someone, or at least I
think I have.
“Jason" is a great man.
We attend the same church,
and it’s very important to
me and my family that he’s
devoted to God like we are.
Jason loves my kids, and
my kids like him a lot, too.
He has also taken the time
to mentor my oldest son.
Every time I see Jason I
feel happier than I’ve been
in a very long time. He is
the polar opposite of Rick,
and he has no idea of how
strong my feelings are
toward him.
Should I let Jason know
what my feelings are? I’m
confused. Could this just be
me wanting companion
ship? I love being his friend
and would like to continue
to be. I don’t want to ruin it
by revealing my feelings if
he doesn’t feel the same.
Also, I don’t want to rush
into anything. Please
advise me. — LONELY
AND CONFUSED OUT
WEST
DEAR LONELY AND
CONFUSED: There is
nothing wrong with want
ing companionship, but the
last thing you and your
children need is for you to
jump from the frying pan
into the fire. You are still a
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
married woman. Jason may
be terrific — Heaven sent,
even — but it’s too soon to
“declare" anything. The
two of you are still getting
to know each other, and
love needs time to develop.
Be patient and allow the
relationship to evolve grad
ually in its own time.

DEAR ABBY: This is
for delivery drivers or any
one making a delivery to
your house that requires a
signature or a real person to
receive the item (i.e., an
Uber driver with food). I’m
61 and have very bad
knees. I can’t just jump up
and run to the door. Today
a driver knocked on my
door and then, as I was try
ing to get out of my chair
and walk to the door, he
started punching the door
bell repeatedly.
People with arthritis, bad
knees or many other condi
tions can’t get there in an
instant. Please give folks
like us a minute to get to
the door. Someone could
fall while trying to rash and
get hurt. — NOT FAST
ENOUGH IN FLORIDA
DEAR N.F.E.: You make
a good point. Delivery peo
ple sometimes become
frustrated because they
have many deliveries to
make. A solution to your
problem might be to post a
small sign next to your
doorbell that reads: Please
be patient. I’ll open the
door in a minute!
P.S. For those who are
inclined, “smart" doorbells
are available for use with a
cellphone that enable you
to communicate with a
delivery person at the door
before you get there.
Consider getting one.
