Dad plays part on wedding day
DEAR ABBY: Please, am I being
too sensitive, or is it just plain rude
ness on the bride’s part? I am about to
marry a man who has three daughters
all grown.
Several months ago, his eldest
daughter was married. He took me to
the wedding. His daughter insisted
that her father be in the group pic
tures standing next to his ex-wife.
Not only that, but he had to have the
first dance with her and stand in the
receiving line next to her, which I
thought was rather tacky since he had
nothing to do with the wedding.
Also, I resented being left alone
while all this was going on. I thought
once a man is divorced, he doesn’t
have to play the part of a “husband.”
Do I have to go through this with the
other two daughters when they get
married? TEED OFF IN N.J.

“Dad’ or the new lady in his life
feels ibout it; it’s the bride’s day, and

book) no matter how lousy the mar

wedding day.
DEAR ABBY: I am deeply in love
with my boyfriend and he says he
loves me, but he has a lot of women
calling his apartment night and day—
and he won’t ask them to stop calling
him even though I am living with him.
He also keeps phone numbers in his
wallet. He’s a disc jockey and says he
has to keep in touch with these wom
en; it’s part of his work. He says there
is nothing wrong with calling them or
them calling him.
Abby, I love him so much, I would
never allow another guy to call me,
and I certainly wouldn’t be calling
anyone else. What should I do? I’m so
tired of being hurt and feeling sick ev
ery time the phone rings hoping it’s
his mother, his sister or a guy.
It’s to the point where I just don’t
trust him anymore. Please give me
your best advice. I’m going absolutely
crazy! - CRAZY IN LOVE IN
BALTIMORE
DEAR CRAZY: I know you are hop
ing for some kind of magic solution
that will transform your “boyfriend”
into a faithful one-woman man. Sorry,
I have none because there isn’t any.
Pack your things and move out. If
you’re looking for “Old Faithful,”
head for Yellowstone Park in
Wyoming.
DEAR ABBY: One of my co-work
ers is polite, kind, handsome and fun
to be with. He always buys the news
paper you are in, then he draws mus
taches, blacks out teeth and disfig
ures everyone whose picure is in the
newspaper. Men, women, children,
the pope, Dear Abby no one is safe
from this pen-pushing fiend.
Abby, could this be some kind of
mental disorder? WONDERING
IN MISSOURI
DEAR WONDERING: I’m not
qualified to interpret the psychologi
cal implications behind idle doodling.
Your co-worker could be a normal but
somewhat nervous fellow who needs
to keep his hands busy. Why assume
there is something sinister or sick
about a compulsive retouch artist?
