I am worried about friend headed toward bad choices
Hello Carolyn:
I have a good friend
who has experienced
several life disappoint
ments in recent years.
Currently, work has
separated her from her
husband, exacerbating
some of their ongoing
and unaddressed issues.
She is also clinically
depressed.
In our two most
recent conversations,
she has mentioned how
frequently men hit on
her, and has also dis
cussed how vulnerable
she is right now. The
two aren’t mentioned
side-by-side, but it’s
clear she is aware of
vulnerabilities and
temptations — and
CAROLYN HAX
tellme@washpost.com
that attentions of other men can
be attractive. She also rational
ized extramarital affairs when
we were discussing a movie we
watched together, saying few
people are entirely faithful.
I would hate to see her make a
choice she cannot reverse while
in a period of depression, frustra
tion, and vulnerability... but this
feels out of my depth. What should
I be doing to support her? She is
seeing a therapist and I often ask
about that, but do not know what
else to do.
— Long-Distance Friend
You can reflect back to her
what you’re hearing: “You’ve said
affairs are common and that men
are hitting on you. Are you trying
to tell me something? Are you ask
ing my opinion?”
If “no” and “no,” then you’re
done. Even if you don’t believe
her entirely. It’s still her life.
If “yes,” then that’s enough of
an invitation for you to say what
you said here, which is excellent.
Love her, care about her, listen
to her without judging. All that
enables is strength.
Chat with Carolyn online at
noon each Friday at www.
washingtonpost.com.

The bidding:

4A 5A Dbl 57
Pass Pass Dbl All pass
Opening lead: Two of A
South was pleased to have play for
his contract. Should the hearts split
2-2, or if there was a singleton queen,
South could make his contract unless
the clubs were extremely foul. The
problem was that hearts didn't rate to
split 2-2 on this auction. East's pass
over five hearts was an invitation for
partner to bid on to five spades with a
suitable hand. East would surely have
doubled holding two hearts, with or
without the queen.
South ruffed the opening spade
lead and cashed the ace and king
of hearts, confirming that he had a
trump loser. He still had a chance
if he could discard three diamonds
from dummy on his clubs. This
required that West follow suit to four
rounds of clubs, so South screwed
his courage up and led a low club to
dummy's 10! He cashed the king of
dubs, ruffed a spade back to his hand
and cashed two high clubs, shedding
diamonds from dummy. West ruffed
the fifth club, but South discarded
another diamond from dummy and
only lost one diamond and one trump.
Making five!
What is wrong with this picture?
West shouldn't ruff the fifth club. He
should just discard a spade. Then he
can win declarer's diamond exit and
draw dummy’s last trump. South will
have two diamond losers after all.
Anything else wrong? Yes! South
can make his contract by cashing
only one high heart. West would not
then be able to prevent a diamond
ruff in dummy without sacrificing his
heart trick.
