Ann Landers declares such fixation pathological, suggests focusing on self improvement, and hints the best path is to stop enabling the behavior. A second correspondent asks about honesty in relationships after a breakup over past sexual history, and Landers defends candor while noting the partner bears responsibility. A light closing anecdote follows.
