Dear Abby advice on dating sites and family support
A reader asks for guidance on a committed relationship with a man who stays active on dating sites. Abby says the man is less committed and untruthful, while also suggesting the woman seek clearer boundaries and improved communication. Another letter asks about supporting adult children after a divorce burial. Abby says attend if invited and offers a reunion option. A third asks how to handle a friend who constantly checks his phone during conversations and corrects others. Abby notes it may stem from a desire to verify facts and help, depending on intent.
