Boyfriend’s mockery is no laughing matter
DEAR ABBY: I have been dating a man
I’ll call Ben for five months. He
recently quit his job to go back to
school full time (he’s 29), and I
support him financially. Things
were fine until he started hanging
out with some college kids who
live next door to us.
When Ben and I are alone or
around his adult friends, things are
fine.
But when he gets around these
fellow students, which is often, Ben mocks
me in front of them. For example, when I
go next door to tell him dinner is ready,
he’ll start making fun of me in a really
embarrassing and juvenile way.
I know it may be fun for him to relive
his college days, but being made to look
like a fool in front of his buddies is starting
to wear thin.
I have discussed this with him. He
insists that he’s just playing around (even
though I wind up in tears), and says that
I’m too controlling, this is his only life, and
he’s only having fun.
Is this something he’s going to grow out
of?
TIRED OF BEING THE JOKE
DEAR TIRED: Not without help. What
you’re describing isn’t immaturity; it’s hos
tility. You say you are supporting him while
he attends school full time. Perhaps the bur
den of gratitude has grown uncomfortably
heavy, so he's taking it out on you and try
ing to make himself look less dependent in
front of his schoolmates.
He could also be using you. Regardless
of his motive, he is showing disregard for
your feelings. Put your foot down now or it
will get worse.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
(February 1). Possibilities
are only as endless as your
imagination. Expand that,
and you’ve got it made. This
year, a Cancer or Leo can
help you push through limits
and outrun the competition
not a bad love match,
either. Work changes next
month, and you’re happy for
the difference. Big news on
the family front affects every
thing this summer. Your lucky
numbers are: 4, 29, 11,5 and
35.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) Travel brings luck and
new romance. Instead of
catching up with friends,
spend some time getting back
in touch with yourself. First
impressions are off the mark;
uncover someone’s motiva
tion before you judge.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) You’re stunning on the
social scene. Ask the tough
questions; in your heart, you
already know the answers.
Sweethearts give you some
thing exciting to look forward
to. Pl>n celebrations instead
of accepting a lull in activity.

DEAR ABBY: My parents and my older
brother, “Mike,” cannot get

resolved.
My sister and I feel stuck in the middle.
Since my parents are denied their grand
children, I feel guilty for having a relation
ship with my nieces and nephew.
They are all so stubborn, and it’s tearing
our family apart. What can I do?
STUCK IN THE MIDDLE
DEAR STUCK: Why should your nieces
and nephew lose their aunts because of the
inability of the parents and grandparents to
make peace in the family? Please don’t
make your parents’ problems your own.
Forget the guilt and see the children.
DEAR ABBY: My husband has been sup
porting a man for the last nine months. So
far he has given him a house, a $6,000 truck
and has paid all of his bills. I went away for
a week, and when I came back, I found this
man in my house. What do I do?
WONDERING IN UTAH
DEAR WONDERING: First, ask your
husband what his relationship is with this
man, and why he is being so generous.
Does he owe this person a debt? Are they
lovers? If his answers don’t satisfy you,
consult a lawyer before all the assets are
depleted.
Under the stars’gaze
GEMINI (May 21-June
21) You are blessed with
abundant energy for concen
trated, step-by-step efforts.
Though you’ll be feeling
shy, just remind yourself
that your opinion is highly
valued. Tonight, vent your
frustration in a creative way.
CANCER (June 22-July
22) Joint finances, estates
or insurance gets attention,
justly so. You can make a
windfall by sorting this out
now when it matters most.
Experiment with the camera
or camcorder you’ve got
quite an eye for beauty.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Exercise relieves tension
and stress. Cook for fun;
your new recipe is a master
piece. Don’t skimp on
preparation, as success
requires an all-out effort.
Romance is found through
investigating a rare interest
or collection.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Brilliance strikes like a
lightning bolt, and you’ve
got perfect clarity. But not
everyone can handle such a
white-hot version of the
truth. Be careful: Impulsive
actions could hurt someone.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Your creativity hits a new
high. Singles find a com
panion (possibly an
Aquarius), and this could
blossom into perfect love.
Resolve financial problems,
or they escalate. Teens need
leeway to make their own
choices.
along. To make matters worse,
my sister-in-law, “Janice,” is
holding the children for ransom
from my parents until they
resolve their differences with
Mike.
Abby, my parents have tried
many times to reconcile, but it
always blows up into a huge
argument where nothing is
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). Competitive instincts are
running high, and you’re
determined to make accom
plishments. Big added
responsibility could give you
a tremendous reputation, if
handled well. Be steered by
your knowledge tonight.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21). Hold back opin
ions. Although they are right
for you, they are not right for
others. Love is met through
checking out the competi
tion. Allow yourself time
alone solo efforts lead to
money.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-
Jan. 19). Solve repair and
property problems. Big prof
its from small but consistent
efforts. If your idea is reject
ed, that only means it needs
more work. It’s a pleasure to
give yourself over to hashing
out your creative inspiration.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Admit a mistake.
Everyone is open to your
explanation. Timesaving tip:
Be sure you’re dealing with
professionals. Get a Pisces
friend on your team. New
romances are sparked effort
lessly tonight.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). There is more to the
story than a certain party is
telling you. Pry deeper!
You’ve come far all by
yourself and deserve the
acknowledgment you get.
Love is best with a
Capricorn —for business,
choose a Cancer.
