Friendship derailed over
pandemic-era preferences
DEAR ABBY: A dear
friend of many years is
currently not speaking to
me. She recently moved
from California to Denver
and had invited me to visit.
We agreed on the dates,
and I took time off work
and booked the flights.
Less than two weeks
before my arrival, she
abruptly canceled the visit,
expressing no regrets or
concern for whether I
would be able to get a
refund from the airline.
She indicated that
because I was not comfort
able with the recently lifted
mask mandates and other
COVID precautions in her
state and prefer to continue
to avoid indoor dining,
bars, etc., that she wanted
to “postpone for a few
months,” when we might
be able to enjoy more
activities. When I
expressed hurt feelings at
being disinvited, she
became angry and ceased
communication. Is this
friendship over? How
should I proceed? —
RISK-AVERSE IN THE
WEST
DEAR RISK-AVERSE:
I am not sure why your
friend became angry and
canceled your visit, unless
she had planned activities
that would take place in
restaurants, theaters, etc. I
am also puzzled that she
should end a friendship of
many years over it.
Because this is recent, give
her a little more time to
cool off. Then extend an
olive branch and see if she
has put this unfortunate
episode in perspective.
DEAR ABBY: I have a
former colleague whose
company I enjoyed while I
was working with him. He
thought highly of my work
ethic, and we worked well
together. Because of this,
he has asked me to be a
professional reference for
him sporadically over the
years, which I always hap
pily agreed to. The prob
lem is we haven’t worked
together in six years.
Because it has been so
long, I no longer feel as
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
though I’m a good refer
ence for him. I also worry
that recruiters will wonder
why I was chosen after all
this time. He reaches out to
me only for reference
requests, so it’s not as
though I’m damaging a
long-term friendship, but I
still care about him and his
feelings. How can I polite
ly decline his future
requests? —RELUCTANT
REFERENCE
DEAR RELUCTANT:
In recent years, the amount
of information that can be
shared about former
employees and colleagues
is quite restricted. I believe
it’s limited to the dates you
worked together. However,
because you no longer
wish to be a reference, you
will have to bite the bullet
and be honest about your
feelings and the reason
why.
DEAR ABBY: The wife
of a married couple my
wife and I are friends with
revealed a few years ago
that before she met her
husband, she had an affair
that produced a child she
immediately placed for
adoption. This was 40
years ago. It surprised us
all, including her husband.
I believe she should have
told her husband before
they married. My wife says
because it was before she
met him, it was none of his
business. Well, now it is
his business because,
through DNA ancestry
sites, this “child” is now in
his life, which has become
an embarrassment for him.
What do you think? —HIS
BUSINESS IN THE
EAST
DEAR HIS BUSINESS:
I think you should mind
your own beeswax and
stay resolutely OUT of his
family business!
