End a long friendship with tact and honesty
Dear Abby advises a gay woman seeking to end a 15 year friendship while keeping her partner's feelings intact. She should acknowledge hurt and growth differences, explaining truthfully without confrontation, and avoid shifting responsibility to Jenny. The column also rebukes a high school friend's money gift request for a wedding as crude and advises discreet, verbal notice via family or friends and a registry discussion if asked.
