   A dear friend of 10 years experienced a severe mental health crisis. I did my best to reach out to her, but she pushed me away and flaked on plans and important events at the last minute at least a dozen times.

She apologized, I accepted, and I thought we co

   I’m in love with an older woman. I’m 41, and she is about 35 years older. I have known her since I was a kid. She’s the reason I always dated older women. I want to tell her how I feel, but I’m scared she’ll be shocked, and I wouldn’t want anyone else to find out my feelings, like her kids. I grew up with them.

   Two years ago, I ran into an old friend I hadn’t seen in more than 25 years. We went to dinner the following week. The dinner lasted three hours. Abby, she talked the entire time! It was a mix of grandiose stories, complaints about her health, complaints about her relationships and an attempt to make me feel guilty for not contacting her sooner. I tried to excuse it, telling myself, “It’s been decades; of course she has a lot to say.” Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 694

   I’ve been with my husband, “Ted,” for nearly 15 years, married for 11. He has two children, 38 and 33, and I have one who is 32. When we started dating, none of our children planned to have children of their own. I made it clear from the start that I have no desire to be a grandma. I’m a teacher and work with kids all day, every day, and that is enough for me. He said he felt the same way. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440,Los Angeles, CA 90069.
