Sparks still flying when
couple reconnect
DEAR ABBY: I recon
nected with an old flame,
“Ollie,” eight years ago. We
would see each other and
catch up during a weekly
event he hosted. We’re both
married with kids. We kept
it non-physical but connect
ed emotionally. We chatted
every day and confessed our
attraction to each other
while still not engaging in
anything more than our
weekly encounters among
friends.
People often assumed we
were husband and wife. At
the time, I was going
through a horrible period in
my marriage. My husband,
“Pete,” was emotionally
abusive and one night even
threatened to kill me. Pete
and I went to couples coun
seling, and I went to coun
seling on my own.
During the first five years
of reconnecting with Ollie,
he was supportive, accept
ing and very kind. I fell in
love with him. and he with
me. We had one quick hug
before I left for the holidays.
When I returned, we had an
intimate kiss. Then COVID
hit. Obviously, there was no
physical contact after that
kiss, but we still talk nearly
every day. We have seen
each other at business func
tions among friends twice in
three months.
Pete has actually changed
and has apologized for how
he treated me. We got along
nicely during the quaran
tine. I am just no longer
attracted to him. I no longer
trust him. He knows noth
ing of my friendship with
Ollie. I also don’t think
Ollie will ever give in to his
feelings for me. What can I
do? — CONFOUNDED
IN IOWA
DEAR CONFOUNDED:
Go back to your counselor.
You have some heavy deci
sions to make about how
you want to live the rest of
your life. Remove Ollie
from the equation and ask
yourself if you really want
to stay married to someone
to whom you are no longer
attracted and no longer
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
completely trust.
Some people are so fear
ful of the prospect of being
alone that they stay in
empty or abusive relation
ships. Figure out whether
you have the strength to go
it alone, and you will have
the answer to your question.
DEAR ABBY: I live in
an over-55 condominium
community in Florida.
Overall, it’s calm and quiet,
which is why I moved here.
My favorite pastime and
form of exercise is to go to
the pool. However, some
neighbors think nothing of
playing their music loudly
in the pool area.
I would never subject
anyone else to my taste in
music in such a public
arena, and I can’t under
stand why they think they
have the right to inflict it on
other people without asking.
I have spoken to them
politely and asked that they
refrain, but they continue to
do exactly as they want.
Any suggestions? —
DESPERATELY
SEEKING PEACE AND
QUIET
DEAR DESPERATELY:
Because you have spoken to
the neighbors about this
with no success, I will offer
some suggestions. The first
would be to bring this to the
attention of the manager
and the board of directors of
your condominium associa
tion. Consideration for oth
ers should not need to be
written into the bylaws, but
the sad reality is that some
times it does.
Another solution could be
as simple as the music lov
ers wearing ear buds to
enjoy their music without
bothering others. However,
if that doesn’t solve the
problem, you may have to
invest in noise-canceling
headphones for yourself.
