After moving away, woman
cant move on from lost love
DEAR ABBY: I have
known this man, “Finn,”
for years. We grew up
together. He was the
annoying boy on the play
ground who turned into
my first love when we
were in college. We live in
different states now, so we
have grown distant,
although we still talk on
holidays and birthdays.
It’s been quite a while
since we were together, but
I still can’t get over him. I
haven’t tried to find anoth
er guy because I know he
will be second to Finn, and
that’s not fair to him.
Is it weird that I still go
to text Finn when some
thing big happens but real
ize I can’t, or that I dream
about us still? How do I
get over a guy I love and
only broke up with
because he didn’t want to
move? I will never go back
to our hometown. It was
an awful place. So what do
I do ? — TRYING NOT
TO FOVE HIM
DEAR TRYING: Here’s
what you do. Accept the
fact that Finn is a “married
man” — someone wedded
to his hometown, which
you have long outgrown.
Then stop idealizing a per
son who didn’t value your
relationship enough to
consider relocating with
you. And finally, accept
the reality that this wasn’t
meant to be. Allow your
self the opportunity to
meet eligible men and quit
comparing them to some
one you have placed on
such a high pedestal that
they cannot compete.

DEAR ABBY: My
24-year-old son is a good
young man and mostly
responsible and mature,
except in one area. He fails
to see the importance of
keeping up regular oil
changes on his two vehi
cles that were passed
down to him.
I keep track of when
he’s had the last oil
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
change, and I start remind
ing him at the time they
are due. I tell him to make
an appointment, he says “I
will,” but when asked later,
he says he hasn’t. I have
tried to tell him how
important it is. I’ve even
made the appointment and
taken the vehicles in
myself. What can I do to
get him to take care of this
responsibility by himself?
— NAGGING MOTHER
IN WISCONSIN
DEAR MOTHER: The
way for your son to learn
that lesson is for you to
stop nagging and let him
suffer the consequences
for his irresponsibility. You
may have helped the cars
by taking them in, but you
did not help your son.

DEAR ABBY: One of
my sisters is visiting our
place and staying at our
house for four nights. She
always brings us presents
when she comes. However,
the items are partly used or
carry no tags or seals.
My other sisters feel the
same way about it, but no
one ever says anything. I
am torn between staying
silent or speaking out.
What should I do? —
TAGLESS IN MAINE
DEAR TAGLESS:
When someone is a house-
guest — even a relative —
good manners dictate that
a small gift is in order. By
small gift, I mean a bou
quet of flowers, a bottle of
wine, a box of nuts or
candy. Your sister is either
unaware of the social grac
es, financially strapped or
rude. Accept the “gift”
graciously but suggest that
next time a bottle of wine
or some flowers would be
appreciated.
