Sisters planning Europe trip
plot to leave husband behind
DEAR ABBY: My son
just got a job in Europe and
has invited me to visit when
he and his family are set
tled. I have never traveled
out of the country, and I’m
excited to go. I suggested
staying at least a month,
and he and his wife agreed.
When I told my sister,
she excitedly told me she’d
like to come along. We
would be very happy to
have this time together
because she lives across the
country, and we don’t see
each other often.
We are in good health,
but her husband has many
health issues. He falls a lot
and has had concussions
while using his walker. He
coughs almost constantly,
uses CPAP at night, takes
multiple medications
throughout the day and
needs to stop often to rest
and catch his breath. He
also needs frequent naps.
We are all around 70, and
Sis and I want to go while
we are still in good health.
She has not told Hubby
about the monthlong trip to
Europe because she knows
he will want to come. He
would not be alone at
home. Their two adult chil
dren and four grandchildren
live in their large home and
can assist him with food,
doctor appointments, etc.
We also have a brother who
takes him out once a week.
I’m thinking the best way
of letting him know the trip
is out for him would be to
have his doctor explain why
it’s not advisable. Any other
suggestions would be most
appreciated. — EUROPE-
BOUND
DEAR EUROPE-
BOUND: If your sister
truly plans to take a month
long trip to Europe while
her husband has one foot on
a banana peel, then SHE
should be the one to break
the news to him. If she
needs backup, I’m sure the
doctor can explain to him
why it would be too risky
for him to tag along.
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
My questions would be,
how do your son and his
wife feel about you bring
ing along an extra guest
(guests?) for a month, and
if something terrible
should happen to your sis
ter’ s husband in her
absence, could she live
with the guilt?

DEAR ABBY: Years
ago, when I was trying to
get into a professional
school, I took some classes
to prepare for the entrance
exam. It cost my dad
money to put me through
the training. A few of my
classmates/friends asked
me to share the training
material with them.
Because it was expensive
and I was preparing for a
competitive exam, which
they were also taking, I
refused.
Long story short, none
of us passed the exam. We
moved on and have all
become successful in life,
but that incident haunts me
all these years (decades)
later. I was living outside
of the U.S. for a long time,
so I didn’t try to get in
touch with them or discuss
why I behaved the way I
did. I am likely to meet
them in the near future,
and I don’t know how to
handle this if it comes up.
What do you think I should
do? —REMEMBERING
THE EARLY DAYS
DEAR
REMEMBERING: It is
entirely possible that these
individuals will not
remember the incident. If
they raise the subject, apol
ogize and explain to them
the reasons you were reluc
tant to share the material. If
they don’t mention it, then
let it lie.
