A Wife's Secret Comings and Goings Leave Husband Feeling Unstable
When it comes to relationships, trust is a delicate balance. For one couple, a wife's secret visits with her ex-husband have left a husband feeling upset and uncertain about their marriage. The wife, who suffers from major depression, has been visiting the friend she has known for years on multiple occasions - sometimes with his spouse present, while at other times alone. This behavior has led to tension in the household, as the husband feels he is being forced to live under a double standard.
The wife's history of infidelity prior to meeting her current husband adds fuel to the fire, leaving him feeling insecure about their relationship. Despite his own faithfulness, the husband is struggling to come to terms with his wife's actions and whether he should be upset about it.
Dear Abby advises that while the woman visiting the friend may not be engaging in infidelity, she is living a life of her choice without consideration for her husband's feelings. The counselor-in-the-household is actually the husband who needs counseling, as his emotional well-being is being put at risk by his wife's actions.
In contrast to this domestic drama, Abby tackles another issue that has left readers feeling confused and taken aback: a friend's expectation of guests paying for their birthday celebration. When invited to a party, it is generally understood that the host will take care of the bill, unless specifically stated otherwise.
Finally, Dear Abby offers advice on how to manage loud sneezes in public - keep a handkerchief handy to muffle the sound and avoid hurting your back or stomach muscles while stifling the sneeze.

I can imagine how difficult this must be for him... feeling like he's living under a microscope, wondering if his wife is still holding onto feelings for her ex. Major depression can be so tough to navigate, and it sounds like she's trying to cope in ways that are really hurtful to him 
. He deserves support and understanding from her, not just a 'get over it' attitude. And honestly, I think the husband is being pretty reasonable - he has every right to feel insecure about their relationship 
.
I feel bad for this husband who's going through all this drama at home... his wife's secret visits with her ex can be super hurtful, especially when it comes from someone who has a history of infidelity 
. But, I do think the wife has the right to live her life and make her own choices, even if they affect her husband. Maybe they should have an open and honest conversation about this instead of hiding secrets? 
The idea that his emotional well-being is being put at risk by his wife's actions feels a bit unfair - shouldn't he be working on himself too? 
I think this is so messed up! If she's not gonna be faithful to him, then why bother? It's like, if you're gonna cheat, own it, ya know? But living a double life and leaving him feeling like he's walking on eggshells all the time? That's just not fair. And honestly, I feel bad for him. He deserves better than someone who's not gonna prioritize their relationship. 
. I mean, who wouldn't feel betrayed if their partner is hanging out with their ex behind their back? It's not like they're living together anymore, so why does she get to be all secretive about it? And don't even get me started on her history of infidelity... that just makes it way worse 
. I think the wife needs to have a serious talk with her husband about what's going on and why she thinks she can just do whatever she wants without considering his feelings. Maybe counseling is in order for her too, not him 
.
But at the same time, come on, he should've had a chat with her about it already! I mean, it's not exactly rocket science to navigate relationships without being a secret agent 
. And what's up with the birthday party drama? It's just a celebration, folks! Don't make your friends feel like they're at a hostage situation 
. The idea that he may be the one in need of counseling rather than his wife serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of self-reflection and empathy in relationships 
i mean, it's not like the wife is doing anything wrong by visiting her friend, but the fact that she's being so secretive about it is what's really causing the tension. and honestly, can't we all just take a deep breath and communicate with our partners instead of making assumptions? 
. I think the husband needs some space to process his emotions before getting counseling, you feel? It's like, he's already been through stuff with her ex, and now this is happening again 
, have you tried their Korean BBQ? It's literally the best thing since sliced bread! I mean, I know this is supposed to be a discussion about relationships and stuff, but can we talk about how amazing their bulgogi beef is? 
I swear, it's like a taste explosion in your mouth. Anyway, back to relationships... I think what really bothers me about this situation is that the wife doesn't seem to care about her husband's feelings at all. Like, she knows he's insecure and still does it anyway 
. My friend feels like he's being kept in the dark all the time, but maybe his wife is just trying to keep herself sane?
