Asking Eric: I donât like what my daughter-in-law feeds my grandkids. Can I intervene? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dear Eric: I am a 34-year-old Black woman in a long-term relationship with a 36-year-old white man. A few years ago, I started sharing videos of us on social media. Weâll do little skits or trend videos, and we have some sponsored content. Weâre having a good time. Recently, his sister, who I like, messaged me some comments about one of our videos. I think she was trying to message someone else and accidentally replied to me because the comments were basically mocking us for being cringe. Sh
Asking Eric: My friendâs harsh words and personality are driving others away (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dear Eric: Iâm 77 and my friend of nine years is 94. Sheâs become really rude whenever we dine with others and even when she comes to my home. She loves to go to restaurants, but our one friend brings her young foster daughter, and âRoxyâ will correct virtually everything she does. Roxy has described this child of 14 as a âpiece of excrementâ to me and to her foster mom. Roxy is a retired professor. She gets upset if the conversation isnât focused on her political positions or her
Asking Eric: How do we bring up all the red flags we see in our family memberâs girlfriend? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dear Eric: What might one say (or not say) to our 28-year-old son (and brother) who is in a relationship with a 27-year-old woman about whom we (his siblings and parents) see all kinds of âred flagsâ with her? After almost every interaction with her, we come away with a heavy heart. They live together, but their relationship remains undefined. She is extremely ambitious and career driven. Any talk of marriage is off limits because that would imply she wants to âsettle down and have babies,
Asking Eric: Letâs not police how people announce a loved oneâs death (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dear Eric: I have a Facebook friend whose husband recently died. She posted how and when he passed away and then said that if anyone wanted to send anything to let her know and sheâd send her address. I thought the last part was tacky. Wouldnât you think if someone wanted to send something and they didnât know her address, theyâd simply ask her? Dear Friend: If by âtackyâ you mean good and thoughtful communication, then sure. Yes, if someone wanted her address, they could ask. But is
Asking Eric: How do I help my perpetually single friend find a spark with someone? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dear Eric: My best friend is always single. Not for lack of trying, but he just never meets the right person. I think itâs starting to get him down as he nears 40. I have tried to set him up in the past, but it never went anywhere. When Iâd ask my friends about him and the dates, my friends would say he was nice but there just wasnât a spark. I donât know what advice to tell him about how to be more interesting to potential dates. Dear Sparkless: I donât know all that much about campin
