Rose Is Rose by Pat Brady
DEAR ABBY: I’m a
45-year-old woman who
has been dating “Ben” (53)
for two years. We have
known each other for more
than 20. He treats me like a
queen. Prior to our dating,
he had a girlfriend he used
to confide in me about. I
was very jealous of her.
She knew we were friends,
so she made a point of
posting lots of pictures of
their PDAs on his social
media, since we did not
follow each other.
Fast-forward two years:
Abby, I cannot stop obsess
ing over her! I think about
her constantly and compare
myself to her. I stalk her
social media page. Ben has
never given me a reason
not to trust him, so why am
I still bothered by her?
She has moved on and is
in another relationship.
How can I finally quit
obsessing about her and
move forward? I don’t feel
this way about his other
exes, but for some reason,
this one gets under my
skin. I don’t want him to
find out what I have been
doing. I really need help.
Any advice? —
INSECURE IN
PENNSYLVANIA
DEAR INSECURE: In
light of the fact that your
boyfriend’s ex is happily in
another relationship, this
obsession is really a waste
of your time and energy.
Although you may still feel
threatened, the woman is
no longer your competi
tion. Whether your issue is
insecurity or lack of self
esteem, it’s time to wake up
and recognize that BEN
CHOSE YOU OVER
HER. If you can’t accept
that and relax, you may
need to discuss it with a
licensed psychotherapist
for help to stop cyberstalk-
ing her. She may be a part
of your boyfriend’s past,
but please do not continue
making her part of your
present.
DEAR ABBY: We have
three grandchildren, and
we feel strongly about the
DEAR ABBY

importance of a college
education. When the first
one graduated from high
school, we gave him $500
for graduation, plus an
additional $1,500 to be
used for college-related
expenses. He had already
indicated that he was
enrolling in college.
When the second one
graduated, we gave him a
$500 graduation gift.
Because he had committed
to joining the Navy, we
assured him that he would
also receive $1,500 if and
when he enrolled in col
lege. Since then, we have
been accused of not
respecting his career
choice, showing favoritism
and other accusations too
numerous to list here.
Are we ogres for want
ing and encouraging our
grandchildren to attend col
lege? We’d like your opin
ion. — WELL-MEANING
IN THE WEST
DEAR WELL-
MEANING: Your mistake
has been not taking into
consideration that your
grandchildren are individu
als. Your second grandson
is likely to find his career
path as part of his military
service. One could argue
that you are favoring the
grandchild who is follow
ing the career path you are
biased toward, and from
that perspective, it does
appear you are playing
favorites. You may want to
rethink what you are doing.
Your Navy-bound grand
son may have a need for
that money at some point.
