Rose Is Rose by Pat Brady
DEAR ABBY: I have
been with my boyfriend for
three months. We’ve had
our ups and downs. He’s
more into me than I am
into him. I was recently
diagnosed with breast can
cer, and he has offered to
drive me to my surgery and
help me at home in recov
ery. He’s also willing to
take me to my follow-ups
and help with anything else
I may need.
He’s retired, has time
and resources, and he cares
a great deal about me. We
live about two miles apart. I
like him, too. I think that
after knowing someone for
only a few months, it takes
a special character and a
huge amount of caring to
take on being their caregiv
er after a major surgery.
There will be a lot of driv
ing to another city and
back.
I don’t really have any
one else — no family. I’m
thankful to him for doing
this, but I wonder what
kind of support he is going
to need and how I can
show my appreciation. So
far, he has been very loyal
and committed. —
GRATEFUL IN OREGON
DEAR GRATEFUL:
This man may be more into
you at this point in your
relationship, but let’s see
how you feel after your sur
gery and recuperation.
From where I sit, that man
is a keeper. I have heard
from women whose hus
bands ran for the door upon
learning their wives
received a cancer diagno
sis, or after they started
treatment.
It’s nice that you are
worried he may not have
the support he needs while
he is taking care of you. If
that’s the case, the
American Cancer Society
(cancer.org) offers support
groups for caregivers as
well as patients, and your
doctor may be able to refer
him to one. Take one day at
a time. I wish you a speedy
and complication-free
recovery.

DEAR ABBY: I am a
man who let a woman
move into my house 10
years ago. She’s intelligent
and said she was going to
get a professional job in her
former field, but she never
tried. She moved all her
possessions in, and her stuff
is piled high everywhere.
She’s a COVID fanatic and
insists we live separately —
she’s downstairs, and I’m
upstairs. We are both fully
vaccinated.
She puts food out for me,
and I have not even been
“allowed” to go downstairs
in my own house. She has a
bit of a temper. She pays no
rent or utilities. She has lit
tle money yet refuses to
take her Social Security,
although she’s eligible,
which I find bizarre. I’ve
been reluctant to have her
evicted. What can I do? —
BIGGEST IDIOT ON
EARTH
DEAR ‘IDIOT’: Call
your lawyer and explain
what has been going on,
because you may need
assistance in following my
advice, which is this: Tell
the freeloading woman you
have had it with the living
arrangement and need her
out of YOUR home. Give
her a date by which she has
to be out of there and, if
there are any problems, for
mally evict her. You may
have to give her a down
payment on a rental, but
only if you feel generous. It
looks to me like you have
allowed yourself to be
taken advantage of.

Abigail Van Buren, also
