Exs continued harassment
mars wife’s happy divorce
DEAR ABBY: I am
happily divorced after
nearly 20 years of mar
riage to a narcissist. My
ex cheated throughout our
marriage, lied repeatedly
and was abusive. He left
me for another woman.
I realize now that he did
me a favor by leaving.
When he left, I didn’t cor
rect any of the lies he told
his family, girlfriends,
friends and acquaintances
because I just wanted him
out of my life. My issue
is, he is still lying to
everyone about how our
marriage ended.
He rarely visits our son,
and he complains about
having to pay child sup
port and alimony. I have
asked him to leave me
alone and not speak to me
unless it’s about our son,
but he won’t. I have
warned him if he doesn’t
stop bothering me I’m
going to tell his girlfriend,
family and friends the
truth about everything.
Should I tell them or just
let it go? —BURDENED
BY HIM IN FLORIDA
DEAR BURDENED: I
think you should finally
tell the whole truth to
whoever will listen, which
is what you should have
done in the first place. If
you have proof, reveal it.
Because you waited, you
may be less credible than
you would have been then,
so be prepared.
You should also talk
with a lawyer about the
fact that your ex won’t
leave you alone and keeps
bothering you, because it
could be considered mali
cious mischief or harass
ment, and there are laws
against it.

DEAR ABBY: I have
several friends who think
it is OK to interrupt a con
versation by shoving a
phone in my hands to look
at (1) their cute grandchil
dren, (2) the casserole
they made yesterday, (3)
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
how they looked after last
week’s tennis match or
something equally boring.
How can I politely refuse
them? — DON’T CARE
IN EL PASO, TEXAS
DEAR DON’T CARE:
If your conversation is
being interrupted by a
third party, it would not be
rude to ask the person to
please wait to show you
the photos until you are
finished. If, however, the
person you are talking
with does this, you are
stuck. While I agree the
behavior is rude, unless
you want to risk offend
ing, briefly offer the praise
that’s being sought and
hand the phone back.

DEAR ABBY: I have
two young nieces who are
close in age. One of them
just announced her plans
for an elaborate wedding.
The other sent a Christmas
card together with her new
boyfriend because they are
now living together.
Does the niece who is
forgoing marriage also
forfeit her opportunity to
acquire wedding gifts? Or
does her card constitute a
“coupling announcement”
for which a gift card
would be appropriate? —
PERPLEXED IN
CALIFORNIA
DEAR PERPLEXED:
The niece who is cohabit
ing sent you a Christmas
card, not a “coupling
announcement.” Cross
your fingers that all goes
well for her and the boy
friend, and perhaps — in a
year or two — you will
receive an invitation for
their wedding. (If you
decide to attend, a gift
would be in order at that
time.)
